Toribio Named Most Outstanding Wrestler, Ithaca Wrestling Takes Second At York

YORK, Pa. -- Ithaca College freshman Carlos Toribio was named as the tournament's most outstanding wrestler and the Bombers placed second as a team in a field of 13 teams at the New Standard Invitational hosted by York College. Toribio placed first at 174 pounds, and was one of two individual champions for the Bombers, as Kristopher Schimek won the title at 165. Ithaca had five wrestlers advance to the championship semifinals in total, and nine place-winners at the event.

Toribio's MOW honor capped a day that saw the freshman go 4-0 in his bouts. He won his first match by decision, and his quarterfinal by injury default at 4:38. In the semifinals, Toribio scored a 9-2 decision, and then defeated nationally-ranked Zach Zotollo of TCNJ in the finals by a 5-4 decision. Toribio improved his overall record to 11-2 on the season.

Schimek placed first in the 165-pound bracket with a perfect 3-0 record, and yielded just one point against his opponents in scoring convincing wins. Schimek started with an 8-0 win in the quarterfinals, a 7-0 shutout in the semifinal and a 9-1 decision in the championship bout. He is 10-2 overall this season.

Four Ithaca wrestlers placed third in their weight classes.

At 125 pounds, Henry Beaman went 5-1 and worked through the consolation bracket to wrestle back to take third place. All four of his victories in the consolation bracket came in sudden victory periods or were one-point decisions. Nick Wahba was third at 133 with a 5-1 record. He won his final two bouts in the consolation bracket by major decision.

At 157 pounds, Kevin Collins placed third. He won three straight decisions to advance to the semifinals. After a loss in that match, Collins scored a 3-0 decision and a 10-1 major decision. Shane Bartrum took third in the 285-pound bracket with a 7-1 record. He won a first-round match and then fell to the top seed in his second bout. In the consolation bracket, Bartrum won four matches by decision and two more by pin. Bartrum is 10-5 overall this season.

Other place-winners for Ithaca were Jimmy Kaishian at 125, who made the semifinals before placing fifth overall. Liam Korbul was fourth at 184 pounds and Matt Booth was a semifinalist at 197 and went on to place fourth.

Ithaca returns to action Wednesday with a dual meet at Rochester Institute of Technology. The Bombers will host Oswego in a dual match Saturday, Dec. 14 at 4 p.m. at Ben Light Gymnasium.
