HILTON, N.Y. (WHEC) - In high school, Yianni Diakomihalis was a four-time New York state wrestling champion, closing his career on a 210 match winning streak.

At Cornell, Diakomihalis continues to smash any records in his way, ranked the number one college wrestler in the 149 pound division.

"Intrinsically, I really want to be a great wrestler. And whatever that means, that's an accolade, whatever. It's something I take a lot of pride in. It's something I?m really passionate about," said Diakomihalis.

And on Friday night he got to have a homecoming at the place where it all started, at Hilton high school.
