In the year 1984, which was the last year that the Harvard wrestling team defeated Cornell, most of the wrestlers on Harvard's current roster were still wrestling in playpens.

But this weekend, that streak was broken.

The Crimson, led by strong performances by freshman Jesse Jantzen and junior Dawid Rechul, outlasted the Big Red, 28-13, this Saturday at the Malkin Athletic Center. The win leaves Harvard in a three-way tie with Cornell and Pennsylvania for the top spot in the Ivies.

With a win over Brown next week, Harvard will ensure at least a tie of the Ivy League crown, a goal that was set at the beginning of the year.

"From the first meeting of the season, [our goal] was 'win the Ivies'," said sophomore Reggie Lee.

The Crimson also dominated in its other two matches this weekend, sweeping Columbia, 50-0, on Friday night and finishing off the weekend strong by beating Boston College, 28-9.

Harvard got the weekend off to a great start with a sweeping victory over visiting Columbia on Friday night. And the crowd, led by a rowdy group of shirtless fans, enjoyed every minute of the romp.

"We were not expecting 50-0, but some of their starters were out and we were able to take advantage," said Harvard Coach Jay Weiss.
