ITHACA COLLEGE Wrestling History

2 Wrestling 2006-07

The Ithaca College wrestling program is one ofDivision III’s most successful. The achieve-ments of Ithaca’s program include:

n three national team titles, (a total surpassed only by Brockport and the College of New Jersey);

n back-to-back NCAA championships in 1989-90;n eight top-five team finishes at the NCAA meet;n seven individual national champions; n 51 all-Americans, who have accumulated

77 total honors.The Bombers have won three national team titles

in the last 17 years. Ithaca wrestling had its beginning in 1930 at the

Seneca Gym in downtown Ithaca under the directionof Walter O’Connell, who had started the wrestlingprogram at neighboring Cornell University in 1908.Although his record at Ithaca was a modest 8-17-1 insix seasons, his efforts laid the program’s foundation.

A collegiate wrestling pioneer, O’Connell was inductedinto the Ithaca College Athletic Hall of Fame in 1991.He had earned membership earlier in the CornellAthletic Hall of Fame and the National Wrestling Hallof Fame.

The program was temporarily discontinued in 1936but was brought back by O’Connell protégé and former Ithaca captain Clyde “Whitey” Cole in 1946.Ithaca College president Leonard Job, a wrestler asan undergraduate at Indiana University, also played akey role in the rebirth. An outstanding athlete, Job wasknown to participate in practice sessions with Bomberwrestlers. Ithaca made its first mark on the national levelunder Cole’s guidance with a 14th-place finish at theNCAA championships in 1949. The Bombers fol-lowed with a seventh-place showing the next season.

One standout during Cole’s four-year tenure wasJim LaRock. Unbeaten in four years of dual-meet

The program’s fortunes saggedin the 1970s, although PaulIacovelli, Ron King and RalphSalem were all-Americans. Ithacawas 45-59 in the decade under fourdifferent coaches. The periodmarked a divisional realignmentby the NCAA, and Ithaca began

competing in the Division III ranks. The Bomber pro-gram also joined the Independent College AthleticConference. ICAC wrestling championships were heldfrom 1970 to 1984, and Ithaca claimed the conferencecrown in 1974 and 1984.

The program was at a crossroads in 1980 when JohnMurray was hired as Ithaca’s eighth wrestling coach.Within two years Murray began producing nationallycontending teams. During his last 12 seasons, Murrayguided the Bombers into the top 15 at the nationalJOHN MURRAY

In Murray’s 15 coaching seasons, 27wrestlers earned 50 all-American hon-ors, including three-time winners MikeFusilli, Kent Maslin, Chris Matteotti,Bart Morrow, Mike Murtha, MartyNichols and Bob Panariello. Morrow,who wrestled primarily at 134 poundsduring his career, posted a perfect 48-0dual-match record and was the DivisionIII runner-up in his weight class in 1985and 1986. Panariello excelled at 118pounds and still holds the school recordwith 129 career wins.

Mike Cronmillerbecame the school’s first male athlete towin an individual national championshipand, along with five other all-Americanefforts, helped Ithaca to a team-bestthird at the 1988 NCAA meet. The fol-lowing year second-place showings byDan Bieller, Fusilli and Ron Gross,and fifth-place finishes from JoelLamson and Nichols brought theBombers a national championship.

In 1990 Ithaca played host to thenational championship meet and suc-cessfully defended its title. Fusilli cappedoff the championship by winning theheavyweight title in the final match. Hewas joined by four other all-Americans:Cronmiller, Gross, Lamson andNichols.
