Our sport represents one of the most demanding challenges in college athletics and the competition this weekend is a demonstration of technique, strategy, conditioning and athletic ability. Discipline, perseverance and grit are required in significant measure and I salute your effort and achievements while participating in this grueling competition. Welcome also to the many dedicated family, friends, and fans of the oldest sport who share the experience with the competitors. The Cornell wrestling program is proud to have contributed to the storied tradition of collegiate wrestling. The Big Red’s success on the national stage has enhanced the reputation of New York intercollegiate wrestling. Hundreds of Cornell wrestlers have participated on New York State, Ivy League or EIWA championship teams. Dozens have earned All-America honors, and 13 have attained the ultimate goal of NCAA champion. More importantly, all have benefited from their rich experiences as part of the Big Red wrestling program. As Director of Athletics and Physical Education, I am very proud of the positive impact wrestling has provided these athletes. Good luck to all participants, and I hope all athletes, coaches, family, friends, and fans have a safe and enjoyable visit to Ithaca this weekend. J.
