ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell pinned its way to a fourth consecutive New York State Wrestling title, easily securing the title by winning five individual titles and crusing past second place Army 202-171 on Sunday at Barton Hall. Binghamton (133.5), Buffalo (136) and Columbia (123.5) rounded out the top five teams.
Nahshon Garrett (133),
Dylan Realbuto (141),
Duke Pickett (165),
Brian Realbuto (174) and
Gabe Dean (184) all won titles, two more Big Red wrestlers reached the finals (
Dalton Macri medically forfeited to second at 125; Will Koll lost to teammate
Dylan Realbuto in a one-point decision in the finals) and the other three reached the semifinals, with
Jeramy Sweany medically forfeiting out the rest of the tournament after winning his first two matches at heavyweight by fall.
Winning by fall became a theme on the day, as the Big Red won 15 matches by pin in the championship bracket, where its 10 scoring wrestlers posted a cumulative 35-4 record with 26 bonus point victories.
After claiming three titles a season ago and holding off Hofstra by 0.5 points for the three-peat, the Big Red had a much more comfortable, though not easy, road.
Nahshon Garrett won all four of his bouts by bonus oint scores, including a third period fall over Binghamton's Jake Nicholson in the finals. Defending national champion
Gabe Dean had a similar trek at 184, winning his first two matches by fall in the first perioud before dominating Army's Samson Imonode 26-10 for the tech fall.
Brian Realbuto also earned a pair of first period falls to start the tournament, then majored Ivy foe Zack Hernandez of Columba before a solid 8-3 win over Army's Brian Harvey.
The two remaining champions both were able to squeak out one-point wins, with the battle at 141 coming between a pair of Cornell wrestlers.
Dylan Realbuto, who won one high school title in New York state, outlasted three-time high school state champion Will Koll for the title in an exciting match, 7-6. Pickett's 3-2 win at 165 came in familiar Pickett style, using a takedown and an escape to knock off Columbia's Tyrel White in the final.
Freshman
Dillon Artigliere won the 165 Open Division title with first period falls in the semifinals and the finals.
Andrew Garcia won the open title at 174, ending the tournament with a tech fall and two major decisions.Jacob Anderson rounded out the field of Open champions, earning a third period fall in the finals to take the crown.
Cornell returns to action on Sunday, Nov. 29 when the Big Red visits New York City for the Grapple at the Garden. The Big Red will face a pair of top 20 teams, squaring off with No. 7 Nebraska at 9:45 a.m., then hitting the mats again at 11:45 a.m. to meet No. 15 Rutgers. It will be Cornell's fourth appearance in the Grapple at the Garden, with the Big Red posting a 4-2 record in duals at MSG in the previous three trips to New York City, home of the 2016 NCAA Championships.
