Lee earns All-America
honors in freshman year

---

Travis Lee assured himself All-American status in wrestling yesterday at the NCAA Championships in Albany, N.Y.

Lee, a freshman at Cornell who starred at St. Louis, lost in the quarterfinals of the 125-pound weight class, but rebounded to split a pair of matches in the wrestleback bracket.

Lee faces Chris Rodrigues of North Carolina this morning for seventh place. The top eight wrestlers are honored as All-Americans.

Todd Los Banos, Lee's coach at St. Louis who is also at the championships, said Cornell informed him that Lee is the school's first freshman All-American.

Lee began the day by losing a 12-9 decision to Oklahoma State's Skyler Holman.

"It was pretty close all the way," said Todd Los Banos, Lee's coach at St. Louis who is with the wrestler in New York. "It came down to a takedown."

Lee beat Edinboro's Shawn Bunch 12-10 in overtime in the back bracket.

"Travis was down 5-2. In the last minute Travis took him down (and he) had to get another takedown," Los Banos said. "In the last 10 seconds, he took him down to tie the match, then won in overtime."

Lee finished the day with a 5-3 loss to Nebraska's Jason Powell, setting up a meeting with Rodrigues.
