"I was just completely amazed all weekend," said Harvard Coach Jay Weiss. "It is unheard of for a freshman to finish third at this tournament. He went to the event to get matches, but it soon went well beyond just getting experience. He became a factor, proving himself to be among the best."

On the heels of his third place showing at University Nationals a few weeks ago, the freshman standout went 7-1 this past weekend in the 152-pound weight class. His dominating performance included a sweep of three outstanding Lehigh wrestlers, including All American Dave Esposito, who finished second at this year's Nationals and who defeated Jantzen in the finals of the EIWA championship.

"I had a relaxed attitude going through these tournaments because I was trying to get experience," said Jantzen. "Once I started doing well, it helped drive me to the next level."

Seeded eighth in the tournament, Jantzen immediately got down to business. He quickly and soundly defeated his first three opponents, the first two by technical falls-which involves winning by 10 or more-and the third by a pin.
