Junior Colin Heffernan attempts to lift a Virgina opponent during the Chippewas matches against University of Virgina on Nov. 13 in McGuirk Arena.
After Colin Heffernan lost his spot in the 149-pound weight class to All-American Justin Oliver last season due to health issues, he called his coach, Tom Borrelli and told him he would do anything to wrestle for the remainder of the season.
The Cleveland junior even suggested he would wrestle at the 165-pound weight class if needed — a move Borrelli said he never considered until Heffernan brought up the idea.
The decision between Oliver and Heffernan was "one of the hardest decisions I have had in my coaching career," Borrelli said.
