Any idea where the women’s brackets are? I can’t find them on track.

This explains last year. Not sure about this year: https://www.nj.com/sports/2024/01/princeton-wrestling-to-open-ivy-league-schedule-and-other-program-notes.html?outputType=amp

How many one armed pullups can Elor do?

Elor, 10-0, in under 2 minutes. Takedown to leg lace.

Elor dominates again, this time 8-0, to move on to the semis.

Coon lost 3-1. Evenly balanced on their feet, but the Iranian got the turn in par terre and Coon didn’t.

The term "generational talent" should be a trailing indicator, not a leading one.

Question: why are the weights for men's freestyle different from greco? 60kg would work so much better for Vito.

I'm interested to see how Kolodzik does in two weeks. He looked as sharp as I've seen him. Teched everyone he wrestled without giving up an offensive point. I think he has a better chance of a deep run than anyone else at Last Chance, given his experience and the lack of an absolute hammer at 65kg.

Looks like Crook got robbed.

As an alumnus who follows the program closely, I see encouraging signs for the future. McGowan (125) is greyshirting. Whalen (who won Midlands) and Mulhauser are taking a year off. Their current 125 pounder (Heethuis) is very good, but dropping a lot of weight. They have three freshmen starting who just need time to develop. Not only did Ayres leave on short notice, their associate head coach Sean Gray also followed him. Give Dubuque a few years to develop this team.

I’m sure many EIWA teams are trying to figure out Cornell’s secret sauce, arguing admissions work arounds (Ag School), huge support from the AD (former head coach), Koll’s charisma and ability to attract top talent, etc. Yet other schools seem to be getting more admissions support, the AD and Koll are gone, and Grey is killing it this year. Something in the Ithaca water?

The EIWA conference didn’t fare well on Thursday and Friday, but went 9-1 on Saturday (Cardenas the only loss). Seems like a top heavy conference with only Cornell, Lehigh and Princeton performing well. Can Penn, Columbia and others close the distance next year?
