the floarena site is so behind its hard to even follow the matches.

the floarena site is so behind its hard to even follow the matches.

They're pretty bad at updating the final results and updated team scoring and such, but the live action of the various mats seems reasonably live to me. Or at least, I haven't seen the results coming in faster anywhere else.

[upprdeck]

is Realbuto  done or in the wrestle backs to get to 5th?

the other top guys have now won as well.

[upprdeck]

BRealbuto loses to boyle in an upset

[upprdeck]

picket loses too.

[LGR14]

BRealbuto won and will wrestle in the finals tonight

[upprdeck]

ok. because the site says he lost

[LGR14]

Flo has been wrong all day. But you can check @BigRedWrestling to confirm he won. The CornellSports twitter says the same.

Gabe and Jace advance to the finals; Duke and JAP wrestle shortly I believe.  I am trying to watch all the matches on two different devices so I have missed a couple along the way.

[dag14]

Duke Pickett  and Jacob Akin-Phillips win so will wrestle for third place.

[upprdeck]

isnt grey wrestling for 3rd as well?

[upprdeck]

6 guys wrestling for the title? am i right?

[upprdeck]

phillips goes to ncaa with this true? grey/pickett getting a wild card would be nice 7 in with a chance at 2 more.

[dag14]

cornellbigred.com now has all results except Pickett's last match -- he won so will be wrestling for 3rd.

So we have 6 in the finals, 3 wrestling for 3rd [Grey, Pickett & Aiken-Phillips] and little Realbuto wrestling for 7th.

Thanks for picking up the slack, everyone. Here are all of the pre-medal round results:

Day 2:

Semis:
125: Garrett wins 12-5. Faces [2] Terao (American) for 1st.
133: Grey loses 1-2. Up next, [7] Gonzalez (Bucknell) in the consy SF.
149: Villalonga with a 3-1 OT win. Faces [6] Perez (Princeton) for 1st.
157: Realbuto 12-3 MD over Parsons. Faces [6] Boyle (American) for 1st.
165: Palacio wins 5-3. Faces [1] Walsh (Navy) for 1st.
174: Pickett loses 2-3. Faces [6] Hughes in the consy SF.
184: Dean wins 10-7. Faces [2] Brown (Lehigh) for 1st.
197: Bennett wins 4-2. Faces [4] Bethea (Penn) for 1st.

Consy QF:
141: D. Realbuto loses 2-0. Gives up a quick escape and then a third period rideout. Drops down to the 7th place match.
285: Aiken-Phillips wins 7-6 in TB2. Faces [4] Ryan (Columbia) in the consy SF

Consy SF:
133: Grey wins 4-3. Faces [6] Amenta (Columbia) for third and an automatic NCAA bid.
174: Pickett wins 7-1. Faces [2] Harvey for third. May need to win (but probably doesn't) to qualify; won't get an AQ either way.
285: Aiken-Phillips wins 5-4 and will wrestle [3] Vollaro (Lehigh) for third. This win clinches an NCAA bid. NICE

7th place:
141: D. Realbuto wins 12-5 to take 7th. Not bad, kid. Not bad.

We have 6 championship matches, 5 of which we are the favorite by seed. 3 third place matches, and we're seeded better in two.

Cornell has qualified at 7 weights (125, 149, 157, 165, 184, 197, Hwt), one alive for AQ (133), one likely at-large (174) and a returning frosh at 141 who (mark it down) will qualify next year.

We have an 19 point lead on Lehigh with 9 wrestlers to go. Lehigh also has 9 wrestlers left, going for 4 1st, 4 3d and 1 5th. We face each other at 184 and 285. Given how often we're the favorite in our matches it should be very hard for Lehigh to catch up. But we have to win. The evening session starts at 5 (though there may be a Hall of Fame induction ceremony first).

Let's Go Red!
