STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford head wrestling coach Jason Borrelli has announced fifth-year senior Connor Schram has sustained a knee injury and will miss the remainder of the 2017-18 season.
The injury occurred at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational on December 2. Schram was ranked 11th nationally at 125 pounds, and started his final campaign 9-3.
"We are all deeply saddened by this unfortunate news, as injuries are one of the toughest parts of sports and a season-ending injury is even that much more difficult," said Borrelli. "Connor's presence in our lineup will be missed, as he has been a major contributor for the program over the last four years. Nonetheless, I am confident that he will conquer this unfortunate setback with the same focus and tenacity that he brought to the wrestling room each day, and will be prepared for the next chapter of his life."
An All-American and Pac-12 Champion at 125 pounds as a sophomore in 2016, Schram holds a 65-22 career record at Stanford. A three-time NCAA qualifier, he boasts the third-most career wins on the current Cardinal roster. He is also a three-time NWCA Academic All-American who has already graduated from Stanford with a degree in science, technology and society, and is working towards a master's in communication.
