Yesterday, Cornell released their 2023-24 schedule and it is quite impressive, to say the least. It features non-conference duals against four teams that finished in the top-ten at the 2023 NCAA Championships. That doesn’t even factor in some key EIWA/Ivy League rivals, the Journeymen Collegiate Classic, and a Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational that features six other squads that finished in the top-ten in Tulsa.
Cornell was a trophy-winning team in 2022-23; finishing third at the national tournament with a pair of national champions and two other All-Americans. Though instant college legend Yianni Diakomihalis is gone, Cornell is not expected to drop off much with one of the pound-for-pound best wrestlers in the sport (Vito Arujau) combined with three others that have earned All-American honors and a #4 overall recruiting class.
Based on the schedule that head coach Mike Grey has assembled, this talented squad will be repeatedly tested before the EIWA and NCAA Championships in Kansas City.

Duals against teams that finished top-20 in Tulsa: #4 Ohio State, #5 Missouri, #9 Virginia Tech, #10 NC State, #13 Princeton, and #20 Lehigh.
