Brackets say he has another repechage to go through before the bronze medal match? FWIW, Honis' mom's name is Maria.

Nick Arujau. 3x NYS champion, NCAA qualifier. Lost starting position his senior year to Mark Grey.

The world doesn't date things based on the birth of Christ. Many major Western economic powers do, so other societies must adapt, just like many Europeans speak English to accommodate the ugly American who can't be bothered to learn other languages.

Some monk in the (now) 6th Century counted backwards, using a methodology unknown to us, and arrived at some point he called Year 1.

What would happen is we'd return to that post-grad HS year (aka gap year) at the major wrestling schools.

The Ivy League allows five years from matriculation to get in your four years (8 semesters) of eligibility. You just can't be enrolled in those two extra semesters. They temporarily modified that to "four in six" due to COVID and the lost competition year. A medical exemption is possible, but very rare AFAIK.

Ask the coach at every wrestling program outside of the Ivy League (and Bucknell, IIRC) and the service academies why they have red shirts.

Announced she's expecting.

So, no red shirts for you?

Something like an injury may prevent a wrestler from competing, yet they are still enrolled and making progress towards graduation. All of these guys had this situation. The Ivy League doesn't make it easy to have an injury red shirt (or any red shirt, for that matter). Enrolled == eligibility used. Cornell didn't "let" them get in this situation.

I asked the source.

Except that Coach Grey has answered all the questions (look for the Cornell article on Flo) about why these guys are sitting out. Ivy League prohibits grad students from competing, requires enrolled students to make progress towards graduation, and counts enrollment towards eligibility limits. A number of presumed starters (Diakomihalis, Saunders, Ungar, maybe Cornella) have to not be enrolled this semester to meet these requirements, which is in keeping with prior actions going back at least to Dylan Palacio. Shapiro is limiting his competitions to protect his health (not clear, and not important if he is enrolled or not). I would speculate that Cornella is sitting out this semester, and will sit out first semester in 2026 as well, in order to have two more competitive seasons available: second semester 2026 and second semester 2027.

Doesn't address the question of how this gets around the Ivy League restriction of grad students not being able to compete. Ungar is listed as a senior and is on the roster (for now). Cornella is not on the roster; Greg D and Ungar and Fernandez are on the roster as well.

Current roster has Greg D, Ethan Fernandez, and Josh Saunders listed as "Graduate Student." I assume that to be a graduate student, one has to have graduated. Doesn't the Ivy League prohibit grad students from competing?

Sorry to hear that. Have you looked at wrestlestat's Lehigh v. Cornell dual comparison without Rogers?

FWIW, Joy majored Alex Nini 12-0 in February. That's the guy that Stanich just beat 3-3 on criteria.

Cornell perspective: 125: Greg Diakomihalis 141: Vince Cornella 184: (if he makes it down) Dellagatta (spelling)

"someone ranked currently outside the top 7"

Her brother Ethan wrestles for Cornell.

Did you notice that Knox adjusted their positions so that he could do another lace or two without going out of bounds? Good mat awareness. (and Mike Grey in his corner, although Cornell doesn't start classes until 8/25 IIRC)

Don't feed the trolls.

A guy I bike with who is a Penn wrestling benefactor said they are trying to get everyone to "match" that $20mil. (my friend is quite well-off, but not $20mil donation wealthy)

Off-topic, but I have to ask: is it really easier to type a single quotation mark than a "1"?

As you said, Vito and Yianni both took an Olympic "RS" in 2020 by unenrolling (the only way to do it in the Ivy League), and then both unenrolled in the 2021 COVID year. The latter was an explicit exception: they changed the "4 in 5" (not "5 in 4!") to "4 in 6" for this one time. AFAIK, nobody else would have been able to take more than one year. Josh Saunders has two empty years in his wrestlestat history.

FWIW, Jack Alexy split a 45.95 100m anchoring the US 4x100 Medley to a bronze medal.
