Navy's got a good dual meet team. They have a lot of talent. They brought about 20 kids here. I was concerned, especially not having Santo and Letters.

Our kids are improving every week. We have all kinds of talent, but some days we don't play to our potential and this was one of those days.

I really like his character. I think he's a real solid kid. All the attributes you'd say a boy scout has, he has. I don't even know if he's a boy scout, but he's honest, he's trustworthy and he's easy to talk to.

I am going to miss each one of them for special reasons. Zinck, for his maturity and the forwardness in the way he practices; Coop in terms of the way he wrestles, he's just phenomenal in the practice room; Letters with his talent; and Frick with his hard-nosed attitude.

It has been a disappointing and painful way for Troy to end his career.

Letters is antsy, but he's ready. He's been off quite a while and can't wait to mix it up with someone. He's a little nervous, too. It's been six weeks since a 'live' bout, so that's quite a mid-season break.
