Wrestling 20-21

I don't know if a season is going to happen but ... here's the Class of '24.

I'll write a season preview later but thanks to upprdeck for getting this going. Season starts at the earliest in January so there's time. Before then there may be some international wrestling to write about since Kyle Dake, Yianni Diakomihalis, Nahshon Garrett and Vito Arjujau are all going to be gunning for Team USA in Tokyo ... if we're sending a team to the Olympics. Fun world.

Senior Nationals are October 9-11, and include the following Cornellians (registered):

57kg: Vito Arujau, Frank Perrelli
86kg: Gabe Dean, Max Dean
97kg: Ben Honis

Penfield’s Kropman to wrestle at Cornell.

Penfield’s Kropman to wrestle at Cornell.

his older brother is a former NCAA qualifier who wrestled at Binghamton and Drexel. Don't know if he'd have gotten much mat time at Cornell but happy to see his brother make a better choice! (EDIT: I take it back - at 157 he would have competed very seriously for mat time and may well have been our starter last season.)

Meanwhile, there are a bunch of Cornell folks wrestling freestyle at FloWrestling's America's Cup at 1pm if you subscribe. Vito, Yianni, Max, Nahshon, Ramirez, Foca, Honis, Loew, maybe Gabe.

And some great matchups at the Rokfin/NLWC event on 2/23:

*Yianni Diakomihalis vs Nahshon Garrett

*Zain Retherford vs Nahshon Garrett

*Kyle Snyder vs Gabe Dean

*Bo Nickal vs Gabe Dean

*Vinenzo Joseph vs Kyle Dake

*Jason Nolf vs Kyle Dake

can't bring myself to add a rokfin sub but that's cool

Not that it should cause you to jump on but my impression is that unlike Flo there are no shenanigans with canceling.

i hated watching the eiwa tournament without the ivies. HATED.

Hard to imagine an activity during the Plague more dangerous than wrestling other than roughrider porn.

(Yes, I know, ask Gym Jordan, same thing.)
