The Cornell Big Red wrestling team represents Cornell University of Ithaca, New York. For the past nineteen years, Rob Koll has served as the Head Coach for the Big Red squad.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2009-10 Wrestling Coaching Staff )〕 Koll has led the team to five top-five finishes in the NCAA Division I wrestling tournament, including second place finishes in 2010 and 2011. The 2010 and 2011 finishes were the best ever for an Ivy League team. In 2012, Cornell wrestling finished fourth in the NCAA tournament, while crowning three individual national champions Kyle Dake (157 lbs), Steve Bosak (184 lbs) and Cam Simaz (197 lbs).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cornellbigred.com/sports/2010/6/21/WREST_0621102652.aspx )〕 This was the first time in program history when there were multiple national champions (3) in the same year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cornellbigred.com/sports/2009/9/11/WREST_0911090632.aspx )〕 Additionally, Kyle Dake went on to become the only wrestler in U.S. history to capture four individual national championships in different weight classes (141 lbs, 149 lbs, 157 lbs & 165 lbs),〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ncaa.com/news/wrestling/article/2012-03-17/dake-wins-historic-national-title )〕 Outside of the NCAA tournament, Cornell wrestling is the current Ivy League champion. The 2015 title is the 34th title overall and 13th consecutive. The team has won 68 consecutive Ivy League dual meets. Cornell is also the current Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association champion and has won the title 20 times including eight consecutive titles though 2014.〔 These streaks remain the longest in wrestling history for their respective divisions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ivyleaguesports.com/sports/wrest/2011-12/releases/Cornell_Wrestling_Clinches_10th_straight_Ivy_League_Title )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ncaa.com/news/wrestling/article/2012-03-04/cornell-grabs-another-eiwa-crown )〕 ==History== In 1907, E.J. O'Connell became the first coach in Cornell wrestling history. He led the team for two seasons with back-to-back winning records as well as a third-place finish at the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association meet in 1907.〔 Walter O'Connell became the next Head Coach and began a historic 39-year career. Under his direction, Cornell won 11 titles and had 63 individual winners at the EIWA Championships. In 1919, Charles Ackerly won the EIWA Championships at 115 lbs. Ackerly then competed for the United States in the 1920 Summer Olympics in Belgium, where he won the gold medal in the same weight class. Cornell also saw its first national champion under O'Connell as Glen Stafford won the individual national title in 1928 at 175 lbs.〔 In 1947, Jimmy Miller took over as head coach and led the Big Red to 203 dual meet wins in his 27 year tenure. Cornell crowned two national champions in 1953, Frank Bettucci (147 lbs) and Donald Dickason (167 lbs). Three years later, Bettucci was able to win matches at the 1956 Olympic Trials, though he did not qualify. In 1960 and 1961, David Auble won back-to-back national championships, which allowed him to compete for the U.S. in the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo (he placed fourth).〔 Carmon Molino also competed for Miller and the Big Red and was an alternate on the 1964 U.S. Wrestling Team in Tokyo. Molino later became assistant coach for Cornell from 1967 to 1972 and again from 1974 to 1992.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.waynewrestling.com/WrestlingHallofFame.htm )〕 J. Andrew Noel took over as head coach in 1974. In his 14 years, Noel led Cornell wrestling to four Ivy League Championships. During this time, Cornell wrestling grew its network and visibility both in the town of Ithaca and the college wrestling world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cornellbigred.com/staff.aspx?staff=2 )〕 Jack Spates became head coach in 1988 and led the team to five straight Ivy League Championships before leaving his post for the University of Oklahoma. In these five years, Cornell wrestling posted a .837 winning percentage and a record of 74-14-1.〔 Rob Koll began his tenure as head coach of the Big Red in 1993 and remains in that position today. Koll represents an era of Cornell wrestling that has reached unprecedented success including 16 Ivy League Championships (including the past 13 years), 8 Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Championships, 11 individual national champions, and eight top ten finishes in the NCAA.〔 In 1994, David Hirsch won the 126-pound title at the NCAA Championships. He also won a career high 41 matches in his senior season and was a three-time first-team All-Ivy pick. Koll also coached dominant Cornell wrestler Travis Lee, who won the national title at two different weight classes: 126-pound in 2003 and 133-pound in 2005. Lee was Cornell's first four-time All-American and four-time Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association champion.〔 Cornell has won 13 consecutive Ivy League Championships between 2003 and 2015. In 2005, Cornell had four All-Americans for the first time in team history. Rob Koll was also named the National Wrestling Coaches Association's Division I Coach of the Year. In 2007, Cornell wrestling won its first Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association championship since 1993 and advanced eight wrestlers to the NCAA tournament. Jordan Lee added to Cornell's list of national champions, winning the title at the 149 lb weight class in 2008. Troy Nickerson also won the national title the next year at the 125 lb class. Cornell finished a school-best 2nd place at the NCAA Championships in 2010 and crowned freshman Kyle Dake national champion in the 141 lb weight class.〔 The 2010-2011 season was a stand out performance by the Big Red. The squad won its ninth straight Ivy League Championship and fifth consecutive Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Championship. Up to this point, much of the wrestling world has been dominated by Oklahoma State and Iowa. However, after the end of the regular season in 2011, Cornell was ranked first followed by Iowa, Oklahoma State and Penn State. The team eventually finished second in the NCAA tournament, but Kyle Dake was able to repeat as national champion in the higher weight class of 149 lbs. In 2012, Cornell crowned three national champions for the first time in program history. Junior Kyle Dake made his own history by winning his third national title in three separate weight classes (this year at 157 lbs). Steve Bosak and Cam Simaz each won national titles at the 184 lb and 197 lb weight classes respectively.〔 The team finished fourth in the NCAA tournament. This year also marked 5 All-Americans for the Big Red, a 10th consecutive Ivy League Championship and sixth consecutive EIWA Championship. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cornell Big Red wrestling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
