NCAA Wrestling Sets TV Records

This weekend’s telecast of the NCAA tournament set a record for ESPN2 as the highest rated Division I wrestling event on the cable network. The tourney, held at the Savvis Center in St. Louis, drew 542,042 households and a 0.4 rating.

“Everyone gets real excited,” said sophomore Max Meltzer (133 lbs.) when asked how he felt about being on national television. “We don’t feel like we get the recognition we deserve.”

Meltzer was one of just four Harvard wrestlers at NCAAs.
