Ailing Cavaliers pinned by pair of close losses

By Jason Wise | February 11, 2002

Despite winning six of 10 matches, the Virginia wrestling team lost its second close meet of the weekend to Virginia Tech on Sunday. The Cavaliers dropped a 22-19 decision to James Madison University on Saturday, and looked to improve their 1-6 dual match season against the Hokies. In a match marred by several ugly incidents, the Cavaliers could not overcome Virginia Tech and fell to 1-7 in dual meets on the season. One of Virginia's victorious matches came in the 125-pound weight class, but initiated a series of unsportsmanlike altercations. Virginia Tech's Geoff Head (15-8 on the season) shoved Cavalier wrestler Byron Dunlap (10-13) into the mat and onto the hardwood floor, after a whistle to stop play.

Cavaliers take their marks for indoor season

By Kathleen Thornton | February 6, 2002

The Virginia men's track and field team never seems to stop. Unlike most athletes who play in the spring, these Cavaliers have been competing for over a month and still are only midway through their indoor season. Now, as they continue to compete indoors and look ahead to the spring season outside, the team and their coaches are recognizing their capabilities. "We have a ways to go until we move outdoors, but we've been doing really well this winter and we are looking for that to carry over into the spring," assistant coach Jason Dunn said. The Cavaliers have faired well in their past two meets - the Virginia Tech Invitational Jan.
