Semifinal - Vito Arujau (Cornell) 24-1 won by major decision over Daton Fix (Oklahoma State) 29-1 (MD 11-3) Quarterfinal - Chris Foca (Cornell) 27-2 won by fall over Dustin Plott (Oklahoma State) 25-5 (Fall 1:54) Cons. Round 3 - Jacob Cardenas (Cornell) 20-5 won by decision over Luke Surber (Oklahoma State) 23-10 (Dec 12-5) Ouch.

Gonna have to lose a bunch of weight if he wants to be in the AF. If he's 6'4", max is 225.

Vito destroyed Fix. I guess no 4x 2nd place this year...

How timely: Jordan Oliver just got suspended for two years for a failed in- competition drug test. THC metabolite, I believe.

Clearly a scheduling mistake by Coach Grey.

Someone edited some Wiki pages (Chamizo, Belgrade WC) on 3/10 to indicate the new Bronze medalist.

Bigger events, like the World Championships in 2022? Or the Soldier Salute?

I got this text message this morning from Track/Flo: Mat 8: Bout 25 - B. Ungar vs. R. Miller www.trackwrestling.com/m.jsp?m=P-1255960135-15-N&p=

I was at the EIWA tournament at the Palestra last week, and I was disappointed that the crowd didn't acknowledge Yianni after he won the final or after the 149 pound medal ceremony. Along with Dake, the best EIWA wrestler ever (but unlike Dake, Yianni never lost an EIWA match in his career). Only the Cornell section stood and gave him an ovation each time. In a recent interview, Yianni said that he was still in the freestyle mindset, thinking about his WC gold medal loss, when he wrestled Gomez in November. He hasn't made that mistake since, and won't make it this week against any opponent.

Have you heard of Meyer Shapiro?

Yeah: those people who, for the last three years, say that *this* is the year Max reaches the podium.

He's been "in the room" for two years. Compare his development with Ungar (who beat him senior year for the PA title).

Ungar. This isn't The Odd Couple. Miller lost to Sotelo in the regular season twice, who Ungar beat in the tournament. Miller lost to Wagner, who Ungar beat. There are reasons why Ungar was seeded ahead of Miller. I'm sure some understand why.

Princeton's description of Quincy Monday: "A NWCA Scholar All-American and Academic All-Ivy honoree,"

He was asked to turn in his card.

Jacob Cardenas as the #10 seed at 197.

Have you ever seen the matside tower scoreboards? The ones with red and green lights that signify who has how many points and who has riding time? Give it up, dude.

Great plan.

18-1 and four of those wins were over Stanford wrestlers.

You think Ramirez was getting annoyed? (in this image, the clock is still running)

Art. 3. Slam. The term “slam” is interpreted as lifting and bringing an opponent to the mat with unnecessary force. This infraction may be committed by a wrestler in either the top or bottom position on the mat and in the neutral position during a takedown. When a wrestler lifts the opponent off the mat and brings that wrestler to the mat with excessive force, a slam shall be called without hesitation after the situation occurs. If an illegal hold starts within the match and concludes after the match is over, it shall be penalized as an in-match violation.

Ew. Even worse. I feel bad for the kid. No wonder it took so long to clean the mat.

No. First pigtail match on Mat 3, apparently a guy threw up during the match (and defaulted). I didn't see it, but saw them spending a ton of time (maybe twenty minutes or more?) mopping up the mat and cleaning it. They must have some sanitation protocol for that. Threw off the schedule quite a bit.

You got it! Well done!

There's a match in the EIWAs that has been deleted by Flo, and for good reason. Anyone want to venture a guess as to why it was deleted? It's something that I've never seen before in a match. (no, it isn't when McGonagle got hurt and was screaming in pain)
