First week

The first week of season practice is over. Midnight "Matness" went great and begins hopefully the beginning of a Harvard wrestling tradition. The idea of Midnight "Matness" came from none other then Coach Jay Weiss. We wanted something that would define the Harvard Wrestling Team that would excite the guys about the first day of practice. Basketball players do it, and we wrestlers train harder then them... so why can't we do it. The team seemed really excited as Midnight "Matness" approached and it turned out to be a great hour of practice. Muzaffar took them through a tough practice and it looked like they got a lot out of it. The first day of competition is rapidly approaching (Nov. 15). The men are preparing for battle and a long fun year.

The End of Preseason, the Beginning of Season!

The dreaded stadium as you alumni probably remember it as, has completed the preseason phase of our training! The wrestlers couldn't have finished as a unit any better. It was amazing to see them just kill the stadium. We had a great beginning of this 2008-2009 season, and as these men move forward to our team goals the hard work will pay off. We start official practice on the 15th of October, tomorrow... which means we kick off the first ever Midnight "Matness," tonight at midnight! More to come about this in tomorrow"s blog.
