You forgot the very Italian Paddy Gallagher.

Chris Foca is Italian for Cornell. Guessing Rocco Welsh mother is Italian. Isn’t Amine part Italian? 

[Grecojones]

Starocci…?

[Lunaticfringe]

Guessing the Ferrari family are Guidos

Yes to all of those except - Soldano could be Italian or it might not be.  I looked it up and it can be from a few different places so I didn't count it.  Sasso is also uncertain for me. I was saying starters only for the Italian crew because its so large, it would otherwise get out of hand.  I was trying to put together a Greek team, but you need to use backups also

[flyingcement]

okay here is my greek attempt:
125: Greg Diakomihalis, Cornell
133: Nick Bouzakis, Ohio State / Sam Latona, Virginia Tech / 
141: Vivi  Christopoulos, Coast Guard / Marco Pantazopoulos, Maine Maritime Academy
149: Matt Repos, Lehigh /  James Latona, Navy
157: Nick Stampoulos, Buffalo
165: Chris Stathopoulos, Stevens Tech
174: CJ Glaropoulos, Western New England
184: Jonathan Sklavounos, Scranton
197: Peter Marinopoulos, Illinois
285: Dimitris Katsimichas, Camden County Community College

Some weights moved around to make a full team for the Armenians

125: Devin Avedissian, Doane College
133: Evan Mougalian, Penn
141: Lain Yapoujian, Stanford
149: Eric Mougalian, Gettysburg
157: Bryce Andonian, Virginia Tech
165: Wyatt Yapoujian, Cornell

It's not that serious.  If you don't care then don't post.

Who knew there were so many Paisans in D1 wrestling. I wonder which one prefers Neapolitan pizza over Margarita pizza or vice versa.
