Cornell Edges Lehigh by 2.5 points at EIWA Wrestling Championships

[ngineer]

In one of the closest tournaments ever, Cornell narrowly held off the Lehigh in the nation's oldest collegiate wrestling tournament, 151.5-149. In a repeat of last year, American's Flores at 285 'upset' Lehigh's defending NCAA Champion, Rey, in Sudden Victory, 3-1, in an amazing 'scramble' among two wrestlers combined over 500 lbs. Had Rey come out of the scramle on top, Lehigh would have claimed the team title. Both wrestlers are ranked #1-2, and will likely be seeded that way at Nationals.
Regardless, Lehigh crowned 3 champions, but more importantly had every wrestler place in the top 8 and qualified NINE for the NCAA Tournament next week in St. Louis. LU champs were Welsh (seeded 6th!) at 149, Hatchett (seeded #1 at 165, and Hamlin (seeded #2) at 184.

The Oldest Sport is still the best sport.

Yes. Already psyched for going to NCAA's next week. However, one of our wrestlers is medically out due to concussion suffered at the hands of a Cornell idiot at 174, named Billy George. He blatantly kicked Nate Brown in the head with his knee at the end of the bout, which Brown won, 2-1. George was tossed out of the tournament and CU had to forfeit all points scored by him to that point. The most unsportsmanlike moment I have witnessed, live, in my 55 years of being around sports.
