“He’s an awesome talent with a great work ethic. He gets in his opponent’s face, he never stops working. I don’t know what they think when they wrestle him. They can’t score on him, they can’t escape him.”

Jantzen is coming off a first-place finish at last week’s Bearcat Open at Binghamton, N.Y.

Jantzen, the No. 1 ranked wrestler in the EIWA at 149 lbs., is expected to contend for the NCAA title.

Rechul is also ranked No. 1 in the EIWA at heavyweight.

The Crimson has an important tournament upcoming, with the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational scheduled for Nov. 30.

“It’s one of the only times we get to face good wrestlers from the midwest. How we do here will be very important for our seed in the NCAAs,” Rechul said..

“Four out of the top six or seven guys at heavyweight will be there,” he added.

With Jantzen and Rechul at the helm, Harvard looks to be in good shape for its trip to Las Vegas.
