Cornell swept Columbia and Navy, improving to 3-0 in Ivy play.
“It gives us lots of confidence, coming off of a bit of a letdown against Lehigh,” said wrestling Head Coach Mike Grey ’11. “I think momentum is a huge factor especially when you’re getting into the heart of the schedule.”
“He’s back wrestling folkstyle and just doing a good job. He’s getting better too because he hasn’t wrestled the college style of wrestling in a few years.”
Cornell defeated Stanford in Rob Koll’s return to Ithaca.
While five Cornellians represented the United States at this year’s Summer Olympic Games, Taylor Knibb ’20 and Kyle Dake ’13 each managed to find their way onto the podium.
15-year veteran of Cornell wrestling program Mike Grey ’11 seeks to continue Rob Koll’s legacy of success as the new head coach.
After an illustrious college career that included four NCAA national championships, Kyle Dake ’13 will compete for the United States Olympic Wrestling Team at the Tokyo Olympics.
A video of Cornell wrestling’s own, junior Ben Darmstadt, pinning internet personality Jake Paul in a high school wrestling match went viral on social media ahead of Paul’s upcoming fight.
Undeterred by a childhood diagnosis of Type I diabetes, sophomore Drew Bogdan has demonstrated resilience through his participation in wrestling and rugby.
“You can be in really good shape and be really sharp, but it can take one or two matches to get used to competing again,” Diakomihalis said.
