Complete List of All Cornell NCAA Titles

[jeh25]

Seems to me that our crack research team should be able to out do the ESPN staff.

I'll start the ball rolling.

Men's Ice Hockey: 1967,1970  (2nd place: 1969, 1972)
Men's Lacrosse: 1971,1976,1977  (2nd place:1978, 1987,1988)

And I think that's it...

Women's Polo won a national championship last year.  I'm not sure about other years though

[CowbellGuy]

Not an NCAA sanctioned championship. According to the NCAA, Cornell has just the 5 listed:

Men's and women's polo have won a slew of national championships, but not NCAA-sanctioned.  Crew has won a bunch of IRA titles, but, again, not NCAA.  Cornell wrestlers have won eight or ten individual weight classes at NCAAs, but never the team championship.

Neat Link.

Looks like Yale is the place to go if you wanna play golf.  ::yark::

School      -  Men's Golf - Total # of Championships 
Harvard     -    6        -   8
Princeton   -    12       -   20
Yale        -    21       -   27

But according to the NCAA site, Harvard has 8. Obviously ESPN, which lists them as having 111, isn't worried about which ones are "sanctioned."

[jeh25]

Well, ESPN also claims harvard has 2 lacrosse titles in the 1880's.  I suspect the Harvard SID took NCAA titles to mean "national titles of any sort" considering the NCAA wasn't founded until the 1920-30's and the 1st NCAA lacrosse title was won by Cornell in 1971.

I checked out the link and they list Coed Sports.  What Coed Sports, aside from track and field, are there?  And, at least in high school, while men and women both competed, they didn't do so correctly and were scored separately.

[Dave \'02]

Nevermind.  Apparently there's skiing, rifle, and fencing.  Any others?

[Robb]

Not sure what you mean, Dave.  Back in my day (90-94), men's and women's fencing were scored and tracked separately.  There were three men's events (foil, epee, and sabre) with 9 bouts in each weapon, for a total of 27 bouts.  At the time, women only fenced foil with 16 bouts.  Many times we would come back from Princeton, Penn, etc, with the women having "won" the meet 10-6 or so and the men having "lost" the meet 7-20ish (yes, we truly sucked).  I never heard of anyone adding up the men's and women's results for a total (in this example) of losing 17-26.

 For logistical purposes, the teams travelled together and competed at the same time, but they were separate teams, even for NCAA qualification.  Logically, since Cornell has no men's team, this must still be the case, else how could we compete with other schools with only half a team?

[jeh25]

I believe the rifle events are truely coed. As in, they could give at rat's ass about the gender of the team members.

I find it amusing that UAF has won the last 4 NCAA riflery championships. Amazingly enough, this is not a record as West Virginia has won 6 straight.

[jtwcornell91]

Hmm, the NCAA championships page says fencing has been a coed championship since 1990.  Maybe the national tournament works differently than the regular season?

So  a string of poloponies can't get you an NCAA title Ralphie boy?  Is Polo not of the NCAA?

From last year's article:

A seven-goal outburst in the third chukker sealed the 24-11 victory for the Red, which captured its second straight national title and ninth in the program's storied history.

So I wonder how many "unsanctioned" (shall we say, Harvard-esque) national titles Cornell has?
