#LookHoosBack


It was senior day at wrestling on Grounds on Sunday, but in addition to recognizing seniors, the Cavaliers were able to welcome back one of their own. Chris Henrich (2008-11), the all-time leader in wins in Virginia wrestling history, returned to Grounds and was recognized prior to the start of Sunday’s dual meet. Henrich was a three-time All-American and two-time ACC Champion on the way to a 136-21 career record as a Cavalier. He also placed three times at the NCAA Championships, including a career-best third-place finish in his junior campaign.

This past weekend, #UVASB second-year head coach Joanna Hardin returned to her old stomping grounds. Hardin was the head coach at McNeese from 2015-16, which was the host site for the Cowgirl Classic tournament that the Cavaliers were playing in. KPLC-TV did a story on Hardin’s return.
