"PHILADELPHIA -- In ancient Greece, the Spartans made their stand with 300. In wrestling, the Boston University Terriers are down to three.
Nestor Taffur, Tyler Scotton and Mitchell Wightman qualified Sunday for the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. How long they last at nationals will be how long wrestling lasts at their school under its plan to drop the sport after this season.
Carl Adams, in his 33rd year as coach, has preached staying positive. The test Sunday was the 18-team Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA) tournament. At the Palestra, the historic basketball gym, the action was on four mats. BU tied for 10th in the tournament, won by Cornell."
Boston U. goes out fighting in demise of wrestling
Making it to the NCAA Div. 1 Wrestling Championships is a serious accomplishment. One of which very few people in the nation can boast and one that represents countless hours, days, months, years of tireless and often thankless hard work and sacrifice. If they have to go out, going out with honor and a fight to the last is fitting for a great program and a very great coach. Best of luck to Carl, Nestor and the guys.
