Actually, I didn't think about the wins until the beginning of this season. I realized I had 90 and it's not that far away from second place. First was a long-shot anyway. |
He pretty much worked his stuff and shut me down. |
I kind of had it in the back of my mind. It's just another step higher. It doesn't mean that you can't accomplish what you've already done. I finished second in state three years in a row [in junior high]. I knew it would be a little bit harder, but it could be done. |
I really just wanted to get that first one out of the way. I was pretty nervous being that it was my first match down here. I knew that it was going to be tough because that kid (Nestor) took fourth last year at 125, but I knew that I should have been here last year so I was pretty confident going in. |
I should be happy but right now it doesn't feel so great. It's a good accomplishment but I know it could have better. |
I was a little superstitious, so it felt good to win on that mat. |
I would loved to have finished as a state champ, but I'm glad I improved (from fourth to second) and got a chance to walk in the Grand March. |
I wrestled the exact way that I wanted to wrestle (in the semifinals). I was hoping to get an escape there in the second period but I just didn't get it done when I needed to. |
It was a present from my parents for placing at state last year. I'd wanted one since my older brother got one. |
My first year was not a good year. I probably won like four matches. I was thinking it wasn't for me. But my brother convinced me to go out for one more year. I noticed my record was about .500. I was obviously improving, so hey, maybe it was for me. |
My mother is German and my dad is Korean. And I'm the second son in the family. Beneath it is my name. |
Second in state, definitely a good accomplishment. Nothing to be ashamed of. A lot of kids do well one year and the next year they do the same or worse. I was happy that I could at least say that I improved. |
When she's got the ball on the mound, she's in total control. You can see that nothing is going to happen until she gets ready. That's just how her personality is. She's just a dominating player when she's got her mind right. |
When we need a 3, he's our guy. When our offense isn't going well, he goes in there and organizes it. He doesn't handle the ball much but he tells people where to go. |
Yeah, it is. Real good, actually. First would be a lot better, but second is good. |
