A two-time All-Ivy League selection and former conference rookie of the year, Wroblewski ranks among the school's career leaders in assists (second, 438), 3-point field goals made (fifth, 172) and 3-point percentage (fifth, .410), free throw percentage (ninth, .820), steals (10th, 125) and points (20th, 1,057).

He currently leads the team and ranks third in the Ivy League in assists (5.4 apg.) and steals (1.7 spg.), while ranking second on the Big Red in scoring (9.9 ppg.) and rebounding (4.5 rpg.). Earlier this season, Wroblewski became the second Cornellian to reach 1,000 points, 400 assists, 300 rebounds and 100 steals, joining former All- American and Ivy League Player of the Year Louis Dale '10.
