Everett, Harvey End Season at NCAAs
March 18, 2016 | Wrestling
NEW YORK CITY – Army West Point's wrestling season concluded at the second day at the NCAA Championships from Madison Square Garden as 141-pounder Logan Everett and 174-pounder Brian Harvey were eliminated from the national tournament on Friday Logan Everett.
Everett got the day started for the Black Knights, seeing his season come to a close with a technical fall by Anthony Abidin of Nebraska. The junior from Tioga, Pa., went 1-2 in his first NCAA tournament, completing the year with a mark of 19-16 which ties for the fourth-most wins of the 2015-16 season with Andrew Mendel.
Harvey would not go quietly in his final chance at earning All-American honors. The senior opened the day with his third victory of the season over Binghamton's Jack McKeever, 5-2. With the victory, Harvey became the first Black Knight since Paul Hancock advanced to the consolation round of eight in 2014 at 157 pounds. His pursuit of the coveted All-American status would fall short, however, as he missed out by two wins. The New Palestine, Ind., native's career ended with a 14-4 major decision to Virginia Tech's All-American Zach Epperly.
The 2015-16 season was a successful one for Army, not only qualifying half of its team to the championship tournament for the first time since 2008, but also taking the title at the All-Academy Championships for the first time in eight years. Additionally, the Black Knights earned a program-best 14th place finish at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational as well as a fouth-place finish at the EIWA championships, the team's best finish at the conference tournament since 2007.
