I'm not sure why they messed it up in the moment but Bartlett would have been fine with just a step out and would have still led by a point. But he backed directly out of bounds without even trying with three seconds left, and gave up two points - the step out and the caution and one. At that point with 3s left, there wasn't much he could do.

What Flo is currently showing. Maybe Cael had a talk with the scorer's table?

I think the boneheaded caution and 1 on Bartlett doomed him at the end. He had the lead and backed straight out basically handing the match to Lee.

I believe OTTs are run differently because OSOPC is involved.

Vito 10 hours post weigh ins is much more formidable than Vito 1hr post weigh ins.

Grey is doing great but it’s still too early for a verdict (good or bad). Most of the Cornell wrestlers were recruited by and trained under Koll. Grey of course had a huge part of that recruiting and training but I’m eager to see how the team performs with a full post-Koll lineup in a few years. But clearly Grey has passed a huge hurdle by driving peak performance through the coaching change. That hasn’t happened in many places.

Penn has done a great job building a deep and balanced lineup (multiple EIWA placewinners and NQs) but they haven’t been able to break through to the NCAA podium (2 AAs in the last 10 years). Columbia definitely has talent and has improved quite a bit but probably a step behind Penn. Army/Navy/Binghamton/Drexel/Bucknell have some great wrestlers but haven’t had more than a handful of contenders for a while. It would be great to see AAs again from Harvard, Brown, and some of the others but the bottom half of the conference has really struggled in recent years.

I wonder how much Yianni at 65kg is a factor. Those two have been wrestling each other for years so Vito should have a good feel for his chances. Although I agree it would be a different situation if he could add a few pounds of muscle and maintain his speed.

One more more year. 4th in 2019, ORS in 2020, no Ivy season in 2021, 3rd in 2022, 1st in 2023.

It went to Vito. “Arujau was named Outstanding Wrestler of the NCAA Championships, and Cornell coach Mike Grey was named tournament Coach of the Year.” https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Features/2023/March/18/NCAA-finals-wrap

Is there a reason for the allowance in ranking tournaments? I understand allowances for random tournaments but it seems to me that if you want a seed at worlds you should have to do it at the actual weight you will be wrestling.

R.I.P.

Very few guys have even had a shot at 4x (winning their first 3yrs). Has anyone who had a chance at a 4th title failed to do so? (I feel like I should know this but…)
