I didn't know that, or I wouldn't have asked. Sometimes you have to accept what people say they mean, rather than assume whatever you want. With all the nonsense going on within their program, anything could be possible. Maybe they didn't want to wrestle the first semester with all those suspended guys missing. Maybe, like UNI, they lost their wrestling facility and have to scramble to find another place (that's a joke, by the way). I don't follow Iowa wrestling after I was booted from the cesspool for (AFAIK) questioning Spencer Lee's godliness.

Did you notice the title of this thread?

I did not, but to post a partial schedule is, well, stupid.

https://hawkeyesports.com/sports/wrestling/schedule/ Five duals and the B1G and NCAA tournaments?

FWIW, Fernandes was battling injuries and didn't finish the year.

Remains to be seen. Everyone seems to think it is a done deal he'll be at 157. (FWIW, they have #14 Facundo over #5 Ramirez, despite the former's 12-2 NCAA tourney loss to the latter)

But not all of them, apparently (Meyer Shapiro?).

This year will be Vito's seventh year, not eighth.

According to the Ivy League, an ORS is just a year not enrolled in school.

Glad I had a defibrillator at hand.

You say that as if it is a done deal. He's still on the roster, which he would not be were he taking an ORS (and therefore not enrolled at Cornell). You know something that we don't? I *think* the Ivy League rule was "four seasons in five years," which was changed to "four in six" for the COVID-cancelled year. An ORS this year would be his sixth year, and I don't think he'd be allowed back for a "four in seven" even if he hadn't graduated by then. My guess is that he wrestles for Cornell this year; if he doesn't, he would have to wrestle somewhere else. Maybe he does graduate work at Lehigh? (edit) Here's a bit from Harvard's web site:

A little too early to be drinking, isn't it?

Intermat has zero points for Cornell at 149 and 157, and only 2.5 points out of 2nd place. Meyer Shapiro would like a word...

FFS, if you had said "always in the top ten", you'd be correct. Feel free to argue with yourself (or claim victory) over the meaning of "consistently."

You win. Cornell sucks at everything except wrestling.

You asked "are there any other sports where Cornell is consistently top 10 in the country". I answered correctly: these teams have been consistently in the top ten.

Heck: men's and women's ice hockey; men's lacrosse; men's and women's squash.

That's not why. He, Yianni, and Teemer agreed to wrestle different weight classes from each other in 2016 so each would win the NYS Title. Teemer (won five titles) went 126, Vito 132 (four titles), and Yianni 138 (four titles).

I keep seeing this kind of comment. Vito wrestled the entire college folkstyle season, winning the EIWA and getting the OW award at the NCAAs. He then won the World Team Trials and now he won the Senior World Championships. How'd that "grind of the season" work out for him this year?

Why would Vito be wasting his time with folk wrestling?

Posted on Xitter.

Honis (Italy) is also from Cornell.

It is still not clear to me that he is interested in dropping to 57kg for the Olympics; maybe he will. As for a full folk season being a terrible idea: the full folk season he just had seemed to work out okay for him this year, amirite?

The last two entries were someone else's suggestion as to what Vito would do. I don't think he will do that. I have no inside information as to Vito's plans. In his post WC interview, he said wrestling is everything to him, so there's that.

Vito took a gap year after high school. He earned an ORS year, and COVID stole a year of eligibility from him (which the Ivy League gave back to everyone). He's now enrolled in college for the fourth year.
