    Arnone picks up honor after upsetting Zamir

    ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell wrestler Josh Arnone (Honesdale, Pa.) was named the Tompkins Trust Company Athlete of the Week on Monday for his role in the Big Reds key Ivy wins over No. 16 Penn and Princeton. Arnone wrestled in his first home dual matches of his career going 2-0, pinning both of his opponents at 184 pounds.

    On Friday night, the unranked wrestler upset No. 13 Lior Zamir pinning him in 4:59 to help Cornell win its 25th straight Ivy match with a 28-13 victory over Penn. On Saturday, Arnone was part of the Big Reds 56-0 win over Princeton which was the largest margin of victory in school history, topping Oliver Noteware by fall in 1:05.

    Arnone was a five-time letter winner at Honesdale HS. He finished seventh at the state championships in 2001 and improved on that in 2004, making the finals and finishing second. As a senior, he won the Pennsylvania state championship. He was also a sixth-place finisher at the Greco-Roman national championships.

    Josh Arnone is the son of Joseph and Teresa Arnone, and has four brothers, three older and one younger. He is studying human development in Cornell's College of Human Ecology.
