Cornell Wrestling Den

The good news is that Stage 1 6 year survival of the International Classification System for Multiple Myeloma is 80%. The bad news is that I contribute to the American Cancer Society yearly on behalf of my deceased child as well as other charities and am tapped out in my retirement. Speaking as some...

NCAA rankings for dual meets are out with Cornell #3 behind PSU and NCST. Will see how that holds up after next week after duals with Iowa State # 8 and Pitt # 19.
Note how ISU performed in Vegas with only Vito missing from Cornell’s lineup.

Smith gets third w a 5-2 score
Joy is in a snoozer with no takedowns and loses in double overtime unable to escape.

Smith (113) and Joy (150) lose in the semifinals to two kids from Sem. Smith had more chances vs Motyka ( going to Penn) but the follow thrus fell short and he lost in SV w a TD. Joy went up vs Vince Bouzakis and looked a bit undersized but put up a good fight. Lost in a TD in the last 20 sec w fina...

The higher averages (69/1000) seen in the data bases are not so much to be trusted with sketchy information.. Ther...

If one looks at the data base of wrestling injuries ( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29484899/} it seems that Cornell kids have more than their share. Given the physical and the mental of trianing and competition, not surprising when combined with a stressful academic program. If I remember last ye...

Can someone please explain to me that this stupid shine box means It's a reference to Goodfellas. When Billy Batts* gets out of prison and goes to the mob bar, he taunts Tommy DiSimone** about how he was a shoeshine boy as a kid. * Played by Frank Vincent, known more recently for playing Phil Leota...

Ironic to see Damion Hahn keep throwing in the brick against the team he used to coach but natural thing to do. I think he left Cornell in 2019 to takeover the Jackrabbits and Cardenas was still wrestling in HS in 2019 - won the NJ 195 championship. Anyway the match w Sloan was much closer than the ...
