Patrick Glory was the first wrestler from Princeton to win an NCAA championship in 71 years.
The Trentonian reported:
The 71-year drought is over for the Princeton University wrestling team.
With a final solid performance, Princeton senior Patrick Glory captured the 125-pound championship at the NCAA Division I Championships at the sold-out BOK Arena on Saturday night.
With his win, Glory became Princeton’s first champion since 1951 and just the second in program history.
A two-time New Jersey State champion at Delbarton School, Glory capped off a perfect 25-0 season by beating Purdue’s Matt Ramos, 4-1, in the championship game.
Glory forced the action for most of the match, but Ramos repeatedly managed to get out of vulnerable positions and avoid being taken down.
