Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion College Results of Kansas Boys at Cornell College Iowa

Ram Review: Ten different Cornell wrestlers won matches as the No. 16 Rams captured two of three at the Northwestern Duals on Nov. 12 in Evanston, Ill.
Led by junior Chris Heilman (Colorado Springs, Colo./St. Mary’s), who was 3-0 at 125 pounds, Cornell defeated the University of Chicago 20-15 and Cumberland (Tenn.) 33-15 before falling to Division II University of Indianapolis 23-18.
“We wrestled a lot of different people and some of our younger guys competed very well,” Cornell Coach Mike Duroe said. “We competed well for our first competition of the year. This gives us a starting point.”

Sophomore Aaron Bingham (Manhattan, Kan./Manhattan) was 2-0 at 141. Two other Rams — freshman Nick Nothern (Salina, Kan./Salina) at 133 and sophomore Kyle Kehrli (Winthrop/East Buchanan) at 174 — were 2-1.

“Nothern definitely had the best performance of the weekend,” Duroe said.

The Rams won four bouts against Indianapolis, which is rated No. 7 in NCAA Division II. Cornell led 18-17 heading into the final match of the dual.

“To win against an NAIA school like Cumberland and then to be ahead of Indianapolis after nine matches was very encouraging,” Duroe said. “We made a lot of basic technical errors that put us in compromising positions.”
