Leen, a four-time NCAA qualifier, wrapped up his impressive wrestling career for the Big Red with a 118-29 mark that ranked him sixth in the Cornell record books for career wins. He was awarded the team's Andy Noel "Leadership Award" after captaining the Big Red to two top 10 NCAA finishes in his last two seasons. Leen capped off his impressive four-year campaign by capturing his third All-America honor with a third-place finish at the NCAA tournament. As a junior, Leen was the lowest seeded wrestler to advance to the finals as a No. 8 seed, winning the national title at 157 pounds with a 5-4 win over No. 2 ranked Mike Poeta of Illinois. He became just the second collegiate wrestler from Tennessee to ever win an NCAA championship. Leen finished his career as a three-time first-team All-Ivy honoree and remained perfect against Ancient Eight competition with a 17-0 mark. At the National Duals this past winter, Leen won all four of his matches by major decision to help the Big Red finish with its highest dual ranking in school history of second in the country.
