Manotti finished eighth as a freshman, fourth as a sophomore, sixth as a junior and third as a senior at the national championships to become Cornell's second four-time NCAA All-American. Manotti made his mark on Cornell’s record book, graduating as the third-winningest wrestler in program history with 133 career victories and ranked 10th in overall winning percentage at .836 (133-26). He was a three-time All-Ivy selection, earning first-team honors in 2005 and second-team recognition in 2003 and 2004. As a freshman in 2003, Manotti was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Year. His last All-America honor may have been his most impressive. After losing in the first round, Manotti came back through the wrestlebacks to top the tournament’s No. 9, 8, 3 and 4 seeds before easily disposing of the No. 1 seed in the third-place match.
