In college, he became the third four-time NCAA Division I National Champion in history, and the only one to ever do so in four different weight classes, and without a redshirt season.[4] He also claimed three EIWA titles, competing out of Cornell University.[5]
Folkstyle
Dake competed for the wrestling team at Cornell University. Between 2010 and 2013, he became only the third wrestler to win four NCAA Division I Wrestling titles. Among four-time champions, Dake is the first wrestler to win each title in four different weight classes, and the only one to not redshirt a season during his college career.[6]
Following his final season, WIN magazine awarded Dake the Dan Hodge Trophy as the most outstanding college wrestler.[7]
Freestyle career
Age-group
In the age-group, Dake focused more in the Greco-Roman discipline, but in freestyle, he was a two-time FILA US National All-American and a Fargo All-American. In Greco-Roman, he was a three-time FILA US National finalist, winning the championship in 2008, as well as the US World Team Trials. He placed fourteenth at the '08 Greco-Roman Junior World Championships.[2]
2011-2012
Dake made his senior freestyle debut on April 2011, at the age of 20, when he became the US University National runner-up to '10 US Open National champion Andrew Howe.[8] On June, he competed at the US World Team Trials, where he posted notable wins over '10 NCAA champion J.P O'Connor and '11 NCAA finalist Tyler Caldwell, going 3-2 overall.[9]
In April 2012, Dake, a three-time NCAA champion, attempted to become the US Olympic Team Member at 74 kilos, but was unable to as he was defeated by Trent Paulson in the semifinals.[10] Overall, he got notable wins over '12 Dan Hodge Trophy winner and future World Champion David Taylor (pin),[11] and '12 Pan American Champion Nick Marable (twice) to place third.[12]
