Cornell Wrestling Gets Transfer for Jan 2012

For those who don't know, Nick Arujau, a 3x NYS Champion formerly of American University is transferring to Cornell and will be eligible to compete for the Big Red as soon as next weekend's dual against Iowa State. He left American after last year and has been wrestling with FLWC and taking classes at TC3. As a top-notch 133-pounder, he'll fit into Cornell's lineup nicely. He has the talent to be an All-American, and Nik Pena (who has been wrestling at 133 to this point) is one of the weaker points in the Cornell lineup. Pena is highly touted, but still young as a true freshman. He'll develop into a very strong wrestler, but in the meantime Arujau should help Cornell significantly in their quest for a National Title.

If you're interested in hearing why he left American, why he chose Cornell, and how quickly he'll be able to help the Big Red, he's going to be a guest on Between the Lines on 1160 ESPN in Ithaca tomorrow afternoon at 4.

Seems that TC3 has become something of a waystation for a couple Cornell athletes every year.
