Track Wrestling Weekend Rundown: The top storylines rolled into 17 sentences
1. This is shaping up to be a historic season for Princeton wrestling and the decision to double down paid immediate dividends for the Tigers, who captured their first Ivy League dual title in 34 years Sunday when they knocked off Cornell 19-13, ending a 92-meet conference win streak for the Big Red. 
2. Princeton went all-in this weekend in its pursuit of the program’s first NCAA team trophy when the Tigers pulled three-time All-American Matthew Kolodzik out of Olympic redshirt, and the 149-pounder scored a pair of victories over the weekend, including a 4-2 win that sparked a string of five straight Tiger triumphs in the Cornell dual. 
3. Though the dual was out of reach by the time he took the mat Sunday, Cornell All-American Ben Darmstadt continued his tear at 197 pounds with an 11-4 victory against No. 3 Patrick Brucki. 
4. There were times during Pat Popolizio’s early days at North Carolina State when crowds of fewer than 100 showed up for home duals, but the Wolfpack packed Reynolds Coliseum on Friday night and defeated North Carolina 19-14 in front of a school-record crowd of 4,383 to run their record to 13-0 on the season. …. rest of list at https://www.trackwrestling.com/PortalPost.jsp?TIM=1581398894026&twSessionId=dsfvtwoqxk&postId=369174135&mc_cid=3ff45774c0&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
