Future Princeton wrestling teams will one day look back on 2011-12 as the season when the program began its shift away from mediocrity and toward greatness. But this team won’t forget the fun it had along the way, such as when junior Zach Bintliff wrapped himself in bubble wrap before being pounded by his teammates or when junior captain Garrett Frey made a helpful dictionary for incoming freshmen to teach them the team’s many inside jokes and goofy anagrams.

This year marked senior Daniel Kolodzik’s first and last appearance in the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, and he’s determined to make it a memorable one. The senior won his first match yesterday afternoon, a 9-0 major decision over Maryland’s No. 21 Kyle John, and beat Northern Iowa's No. 18 David Bonin to reach the quarterfinals.

It was an exciting weekend for the wrestling team. Princeton hosted the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Championships in Jadwin Gymnasium for the first time since 1987. And two grapplers, senior captain Daniel Kolodzik and junior captain Garrett Frey, performed well enough to qualify for the NCAA Tournament, which will take place in St. Louis on March 15-17.

As many expected, the wrestling team put up strong performances at 141, 157 and 174 pounds in both of their matches on Saturday but failed to come up with a team victory, falling to two strong opponents in its doubleheader. Princeton wrestled tough against Penn in a 24-10 loss at Dillon Gymnasium before traveling to Bethlehem, Pa. where they were ousted 38-4 by No. 15 Lehigh.

Plagued by illness and injuries, the wrestling team stumbled through yet another weekend filled with ups and downs. After stirring up hope and enthusiasm last weekend with a 25-14 victory over a nationally-ranked Harvard squad, the Tigers dropped a disappointing match to Columbia on Friday night, largely due to the absence of four key starters, including team captains senior Daniel Kolodzik and junior Garrett Frey. With a day of rest and a bit of experience under their belts, the youthful Tigers bounced back on Sunday, making up for a 36-9 loss to the Clarion Golden Eagles by winning handily over Franklin & Marshall by a score of 24-12.
