“I think everybody was really pleased,” assistant wrestling coach Dan Dickerson said. “It is important that they come talk to the coaches after matches. I know you’re usually emotional at the end of the matches, and sometimes they just want to get off the mat. But, it is really important so we can be like, ‘Hey, this so what you did. This is what we can do.’ Just need to clean up some of the instrumental things.”
