A four-time NCAA national champion, four-time All-American and four-time Ivy League Wrestler of the Year, senior Yianni Diakomihalis has achieved everything a college wrestler would want ? plus so much more.
If you asked him 15 years ago if he thought he would be in this position, Diakomihalis said he doubts it.
Diakomihalis got his start in wrestling as a kid after his father, a relatively successful wrestler in his time, wanted his children to learn. His father, a Division III All-American wrestler, did not just want them to learn how to wrestle, but he wanted them to learn the skills it took to become a champion.
