Lions on the Road: January 9

NEW YORK — Columbia wrestling and track and field are featured in this week's edition of Lions on the Road. Every week, GoColumbiaLions.com will be using "Lions on the Road" to preview that week's upcoming games and events happening off campus.

Wrestling

The Columbia wrestling team competes in its final regular season tournament this Friday when it competes in the annual David H. Hehman F&M Open hosted by Franklin & Marshall at the Alumni Sports & Fitness Center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The annual tournament will be one of the Lions' last tune-ups before they open Ivy League action later this month. Last time out, the Lions kicked off 2026 with a resounding 35-12 win over local rival LIU. Columbia won eight of 10 matches in the dual, including seven in a row. The Lions will send 18 guys, with another three competing unattached. At this event last year, former Lion Jack McGill captured the 174-pound title, becoming the first Lion to win a title at the tournament since 2013. In total, six Lions posted top-three finishes with Richard Fedalen and Cesar Alvan finishing second at 149 and 165. Kai Owen (149), Joe Curtis (197), and Vincent Mueller (285) finished in third. Fans can follow all of the action on Friday via FloArena.

Track & Field

Columbia indoor track and field competed in three season-opening meets around New York City last month, highlighted by first-year thrower Mia Hoskins breaking the program weight throw record. At the Army Crowell Open, Hoskins posted a mark of 17.94 meters to set a new Columbia standard in her collegiate debut. Marcus Blasucci also delivered the second-best shot put performance in school history. The Lions earned event wins in long jump, triple jump, and multiple running disciplines, with strong results from both veteran and newcomer athletes.
