Coming off of numerous post-season Ivy awards announced Tuesday afternoon, the Cornell wrestling team will head to New York City on Thursday to compete in the NCAA Wrestling Championships. The tournament will take place over the course of three days at Madison Square Garden and nine men will be wrestling for the Red.

After a bumpy start to a season plagued by injury and illness, head coach Robert Koll managed to bring his squad to a 6-5 overall finish in the regular season and qualified nine out of a possible 10 wrestlers for the tournament this weekend. Just yesterday, it was announced that Koll earned the title of Ivy League Coach of the Year along with Princeton's head coach Chris Ayres. While Koll and his players have much to be proud of at the end of the regular season, they are all still working hard coming into the NCAA Championships.
