Bad news, Big Red fans.  The Cornell wrestling team looks to have taken a big blow to their middle weights with the apparent loss of Dylan Palacio.  The 2 time NCAA qualifier has battled injury and appendicitis in the last several months.  It appears the 8th ranked 157 pounder in the country won't be contributing to the Cornell cause any time soon.

Palacio sent the following message that he'd be withdrawing from Cornell on Instagram:

 

It Is With A Heavy Heart That I Have To Announce I Will Be Medically Withdrawing From School This Semester With The Intent To Hopefully Return As Soon As I Can. My Dad Always Told Me That Money Is Paper And Only In Good Health Do We Experience True Prosperity. Health Issues and Concerns Have Made Me Step Away From The Sports I Love And Now The School I Have Always Dreamed About. It Is Sad But Without Struggle Their Is No Glory. I Know My Parents And Everyone Who Really Knows Me Will Truly Comprehend How Hard This Decision Was For Me. As Of Now The Future Is Uncertain But What Is Certain Is That The Realest Will Rise Again. Once He Gets Better.Much Love, God Bless #Beentrill #L40 #comebackkid

Palacio was known for his wild matches including a thriller with Chance Marsteller and a wild win against Devon Gobbo.  Palacio was as candid as any wrestler behind the camera as well known to be both quotable and at times antagonistic. 

Here's to a speedy recovery for Dylan Palacio! Check out his wild win over Devon Gobbo at last years EIWA's below:
