TIM PEELER: Caramanica Drops For Greater Success

Joe Caramanica comes from a large Italian family with its roots in Long Island. There's no way he could starve himself for his sport. “My mom makes too much good food,” said the NC State junior wrestler from Narazeth, Pa. “She doesn't like me not eating.” So she insists he takes seconds of lasagna or eggplant parmigiana, his favorite. Fortunately for Caramanica, he's never had to cut much weight during his career until this year. Caramanica moved down from the 149-pound weight class, where he won the ACC Championship last year, to the 141-pound weight class, switching places with teammate Darrion Caldwell. That means, for the first time, he had to leave the normal life of a wrestler, watching his intake of every bite and sweating off his indulgences.
