FRESNO, Calif. - Tim Cornish (Sr., Manhattan, N.Y.) was defeated in the quarterfinals of the wrestlebacks at 157 pounds and was eliminated from the NCAA Wrestling Championships at the Kiel Center in St. Louis, Mo.
Cornish, who had won three matches in the wrestlebacks after falling in the first round of the championship bracket, lost a 5-4 decision to Shaun Shapert of Edinboro. Had Cornish emerged victorious, he would have clinched at least eighth place in the tournament, automatically earning him All-America honors.
The Bulldogs finished the NCAA's with 4.50 points, which puts them in a tie for 48th place. Iowa State leads the tournament with 98.00 points with four-time defending champion Iowa on its heels with 97.50 points. The championships conclude today.
