The long awaiting season!!

It has been a while since we last updated our blog.... and I apologize. I promise to keep all you Harvard Wrestling Fans updated as we head into a new 2008-2009 season. We, as a coaching staff are very excited for this upcoming season. We have brought onto our staff a new volunteer assistant to replace Jesse Jantzen who has finished up his wrestling career and will move on to accomplish far great things in this world. Muzaffar Abdurakhmanov our new volunteer assistant for the 2008-2009 season is one of the most accomplished wrestlers in American University history and our team is already gaining from the vast knowledge and technique he has to offer. We have finished up our first week of preseason training, usually not a fun week, but our team is stepping up to the challenge of an Ivy League Title! The team is looking good as we are training 4 days a week. They are doing a team lift 2 days and a conditioning lift led by Muzaffar on the other day. The guys are running three days either a distance run around Boston or timed run on the track and one day we are getting on the mat for technique. We hope to keep the guys excited as they are entering into a new school year and preseason being draining on them, but keeping our sites on an Ivy League Title will keep them training hard. More to come in the future.
