One of the most decorated wrestlers in Cornell history, Lewnes graduated at the top of the school's career wins list with a 150-12 mark and also established new standards for most falls (55) and bonus point wins (91). He became just the ninth four-time EIWA champion in more than 100 years and was a three-time NCAA All-American, including national runner-up as a junior. A three-time first-team All-Ivy pick, he was named Ivy League Wrestler of the Year as both a sophomore and a junior. Lewnes was a two-year team captain, leading both teams to NCAA runner-up finishes. The 2008 EIWA Freshman of the Year was the EIWA Fletcher Trophy recipient in 2011 and the 2010 Richie Moran Award winner. His teams won four undefeated Ivy League trophies and four straight EIWA crowns.
