George Washington University dissolved their wrestling team in about 1990, citing budgetary reasons. This seems suspect, because a wrestling team is one of the cheapest sports teams to maintain.
1988. Donovan was a 134-pounder his sophomore year, and a 145-pounder (I believe) his junior
year. The program was dissolved before his senior year. His junior year his performance
was much improved, and I intend to post some scans of his impressive performances then. So
don't judge his abilities too much by these photos of a loss his junior year against Millersville.

1988. Sean was a 145-pounder (I believe) his junior
year. The program was dissolved before his senior year. Always an impressive and powerful
wrestler, he specialized in putting his opponents in tight, painful holds, and basically
muscling them into submission (the same type of style later made famous by the Brand twins from Iowa).
