Quotes
"Richie and Quinn wrestled well this weekend, they should be proud of their performance. What people do not understand is that it's very hard to be an All American in wrestling! The fact that they put themselves in the conversation means a lot! They will learn from this and work at getting better at their craft and mentally stronger so they can accomplish their goals next year."
-Rider Wrestling Head Coach John Hangey
