THOUGHTS FROM COACH CAPP

• "I Loved the performances out of my guys this weekend. While not everyone had the results they wanted, I was proud of the effort out of each wrestler this weekend! I can't say enough about Gavin Qualifying for the National Tournament. He has worked his tail off all year and finished with a 23-10 record on the season as a True Freshmen. Very excited to see what he will do at the National Tournament."
