Loew: Unfortunate News

[flyingcement]

This was picked up over from the Cornell boards.  Sad news for the young man.  I wish him well and always enjoyed watching him wrestle.

 

Loew, who missed most of last season with a shoulder injury, received devastating news before this season began. Another shoulder injury caused a severed artery in that area, which decreased blood flow to his arm. Doctors soon after put a stent in and told Loew his wrestling career was over.

Man that sucks... never want to hear that.

Hoping for a full recovery for the kid.

He's fully recovered, just won't wrestle again.  He's a student-advisor for the wrestling team this year.

Heartbreak to hear, glad he is healthy though.

Gotta feel for the guy, it's really tough to be finished with the sport before you're ready to hang it up. Hopefully, being a student advisor and staying involved with wrestling will help scratch that itch...

Same deal with Darmstadt, who was on a higher trajectory, and had to hang it up after only two college seasons due to injury.  He's now with Koll at UNC.
