You can just tell that their work ethic and drive is a little different than other people you talk to.

We try not to think of numbers and rank. We have a team with enough talent that if we wrestle our best, we can beat a team ranked higher than us, like Cornell.

I wanted to make sure I’d have a life after wrestling.

I’m definitely playing with the 2008 Olympics. I’ll see how my body is holding up after another year.

I’m not going to change who I am, how I train or how hard I work in school. I’m just going to keep up what I’ve been doing because obviously it’s been successful for me....
