Three Red wrestlers competed at the U.S. Olympic Wrestling Team Trials in Iowa City, Iowa over the weekend.

Along with Simaz, nine other Cornell wrestlers earned All-Ivy team honors.

Several Cornell varsity sports teams (and one club team) have enjoyed a productive start to summer.

The verb “to sweep,” coming from the Middle English root swepen, has a long list of definitions according to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary edition.

Last season, Mack Lewnes had one of the most successful campaigns of any freshman in Cornell wrestling history. He went undefeated in the EIWA championships, advanced farther at Nationals than any other freshman and was named the National Freshman of the Year by Amateur Wrestling News. With a year of experience under his belt, Lewnes hopes to achieve even greater results this season.

Lewnes was a four-time Maryland State Champion while attending Mount Saint Joseph High School. He graduated in 2006, but did not immediately come to Cornell. “He went to Colorado Springs [Colo.] for a year to take a few courses to lighten his course load and train at the Olympic Training center,” said wrestling head coach Rob Koll.
