JT1Wrestle Takes A Look At Ithaca 2026-2027

 


As usually look for the Bombers to explode with talent as we head into 2026-2027.  Last year, 8 Regional II place-winners, & 5 NCAA D3 qualifiers.  We do lose four do to being out of eligibility, but four return, plus two more bound to detonate. 

What a career it was for Isaias Torres.  2nd-1st-2nd-2nd in Regional II, he found himself in the blood round of the NCAA D3 tournament, all four years of his collegiate career. A two-time All-American going R12-7th-R12-7th.  113 career wins. 

Konrad Park, 96 wins during his career. A two-time NCAA D3 qualifier, Regional II champion, and a two-time SUNY-AC champ. 

Xavier Pommels, an NCAA D3 qualifier in 2025, one match shy last year in 2026. 2nd-4th in his final two Regional II championships.  A SUNY-AC champ this year. 

Ryan Galka, a two-time NCAA D3 qualifier. 

125
Tomah Gummow


I believe Tomah Gummow, who was 3rd at Regional II in 2025, took last year as a "redshirt" of sorts.  He did win the Ithaca Invite & he placed 3rd at the New York States. 

133
Jay McDonnell

Standout season for this young man last year.  28-6 on the year, A Regional II champion, also winning titles at Ithaca & New York States.  Was 3rd at Shorty Hitchcock & 4th at New Standard. 

157
Akio Sanders


21 wins on the season for Akio Sanders.  7th at Regional II, he was the Ithaca Invite runner-up & 3rd at New Standard. 

165
Chris Reddy

Chris Reddy won 25 matches last season.  8th at Regional II, he was 2nd at the New York States & 3rd at the Ithaca Invite. 

Kamdyn Dorchester
HWT


An NCAA D3 qualifier for the Bombers with a 3rd place showing at Regional II, Kamdyn Dorchester won 31 matches last season.  Silver at the Ithaca Invite, he was bronze at both the New York States & the SUNY-AC. 

HWT
Charlie Turner


As good as both Kamdyn Dorchester & Charlie Turner both are, I'd like to think maybe one of them could make 197. Judging by their size, probably not likely.  Shame, as both of these guys are NCAA D3 qualifier material.  Turner actually beat Dorchester in action last season, a SUNY-AC runner-up.  12 wins on the season himself.
