This marks Chas Tucker’s third first team All-Ivy honor.
“It’s time to get after it, time to scrap and time to just be free out there.”
“It makes me proud to have had all of these guys with us for this long — it is a brutal sport and you don’t always get the rewards if you’re not starting,” said head coach Rob Koll.
“It’s a disappointment, not a tragedy,” said head coach Rob Koll. “We always expect to win the championship — it’s been 17 years since we haven’t.
“The Ivy League championships is something we are thinking about every day and working towards.”
After starting the season with an 0-2 mark, the Red went 6-3 over the break.
Even though the Red has embarked on this 2019 season without four of its top wrestlers, Cornell’s 2019 results in the tournament eclipsed its performance last year. In 2018, Cornell secured only 40 points, placing 21st in the invitational.
“Even though we lost, I thought the guys wrestled a lot better this week,” Koll said.
Cornell lost four matches by just a single point.
With Yianni Diakomihalis and three others taking the year off to train for the Olympics, Cornell wrestling will have a different look during the 2019-20 season.
