A lot of other kids in the past have paved the way. I always try to help others wrestle their best. You especially want to help and encourage the younger kids. You want them to keep up the program after you are gone. |
Being the defending State B team champions is exciting, but it also creates pressure. Everyone is trying to knock you off. Plus this year, we only have 11 guys (to fill 14 weight classes). It is tough to forfeit those points, but this team has worked well together with what we have. We just try to help each other wrestle our best every time. Whatever happens after that - win or lose - happens. We just try to do that each time out and have as much fun as we can. |
Besides family, there's nothing more important than your teammates. I don't know if people realize how hard it is to get to this point ... but it feels good. |
I just wrestle my style and not worry about what my opponent might do. I don't tie up - I have to wrestle with quickness because I'm small for my weight class. |
One of the things that I am most proud of is that I have been able to keep up my grades even with all the other stuff going on. But I've been lucky because I have had a lot of good teachers and coaches who saw potential in me and brought that out. They help you through the tough times, and I appreciate them and all they have done for me. |
We were still wrestling through last year when Greg was a senior. In wrestling, there is never a dull moment. |
