JT1Wrestle Takes A Look At Columbia (2026-2027)

 

11-3 in duals, 2nd in the Ivy League & a top 20 team in the NCAA Division I.  It's been very rewarding to see the Lions of Columbia make such strides over the years.  The status of two wrestlers is currently unknown, while another is out of eligibility & another is transferring. 

Unknown at the moment is Richard Fedalen. An NCAA DI qualifier for the white & Columbia blue in 2025, he's currently in the portal & has not yet found a new home. 

Unknown is also Nick Fine, 3rd & 2nd thus far in the Ivy League, the Rhode Island native posted 25 wins on the season last year.  3rd at the Black Knight Invitational, he won the Lehman Open. 

Kai Owen, 4th & 3rd in the Ivy league, one match shy of NCAA DI All-American honors is heading to Bloomington to compete for the Hoosiers of Indiana. 

Cesar Alvan who had the best NCAA DI tournament since Steve Santos in 2013, is now out of eligibility.  An Ivy League champion this past year, he finished 3rd at the NCAA DI championships.  6th at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, he had 88 career wins.
