In the past decade, Cornell's programming teams have been dominating in Greater New York Regional contest. Here are non-official records that Cornell currently holds:

From 1998 to 2009, Cornell has advanced to the World Finals 10 times (out of 12 times of participation) - 7 times of winning the regional contest and 3 times of runner-up (second place).

From 2001 to 2003, Cornell has won the regional three times in a row - this is a record for our regional

From 2006 to 2009, Cornell has been advanced to the Finals four times in a row - this is another record for our regional - and it's counting.

In 2007, one of the Cornell teams solved all 9 problems with a record time penalty (total 430 minutes), which determined the winner 126 minutes after the contest started.

In 2009, a team from Cornell broke the previous Cornell record by solving all 9 problems with total 419 minutes penalty, which determined the winner 101 minutes after the contest started.
