Adam Alirez Tough Quotations

That was probably the first time I've been totally impressed, 100 percent. We wrestled the toughest competition -- top-ranked wrestlers -- and just went after it. They all beat top-ranked wrestlers whether they placed in the tournament or not. And to come out with a third place trophy and missing two of our guns, man, that's unbelievable.

He's a tough kid. He wrestles a whole match. He doesn't stop wrestling. If you take a second off with that kid -- obviously that's the result your going to get. But we're going to prepare for him because we're definitely going to see him again.

We had a good tournament overall. We were missing a big point scorer with Zack Melendez not here, but we did an awesome job. We had a tough night Friday night, but all the guys today came back through and won third place.

We've been wrestling tough all year, and this was one of our goals on our list. It was just exciting to see them get to the semifinals and step it up. We really represented. The whole town of Greeley just did awesome. There were a lot of tough teams here.
