Iowa wrestler interview

Transcript

00:00 It's obviously coming in we knew it was gonna be a big match. Big match for the

00:03 team, big match for me. It's a common opponent I've seen last year. I wrestled

00:07 him here at this arena and wrestled him at Nationals. So getting a win like that,

00:12 middle of the year here starting the Big Ten Duels, it feels good but there's a

00:16 lot of improvement, a lot of areas in my game that I didn't feel like I

00:20 capitalized out there. So a lot of improvement to make.

00:23 What does it mean to see someone like Zach step up three times now and win duels for you guys?

00:28 Yeah, Glazier, man he's fun to watch. I hope he gets the respect he deserves.

00:32 He's one of the most underrated guys, not on our team, but for some reason

00:36 the public sees him that way. But he closes duels, he goes out there, he's

00:40 composed and he picks people apart. Good caliber kids like that, he picks them

00:44 apart. So having a guy like that, upper weights, it's super fun to watch.
