55 kg/121 lbs. - Brandon Paulson - 2nd  "He (Rivas) started off really fast. I don't know if I was ready for that. After the first minute when he scored three quick points, I thought I controlled the bout from that point on."    "I think I'm ready (for the World Championships). I'm going to train my tail off and get ready to move Rivas' record to 5-1 against me."    60 kg/132 lbs. - Jim Gruenwald - 3rd  "I have no one to blame but myself. I've got to be the one to take control out there."    "I let the bout get away from me early on, my heart was beating out of control.  I don't know what it was, pre-match adrenalin or what, but it was something I wasn't expecting."    "I got a chance to wrestle and face one of the best in the world. I can't get any better preparation (for the World Championships) than what I got here. Now, I use my experiences here in preparing for better results at the World Championships."    66 kg/145.5 lbs. Kevin Bracken - 4th  "I really beat myself. I went to throw and lost my grasp and he ended up putting me on my back.  That's the way it goes sometimes."    "I'm disappointed I lost. Now I've got some things to work on, though. I'm not going to pack up my tent."    74 kg/163 lbs. - T.C. Dantzler - 3rd  "The crowd feeds me. (Officials) already took one match from me. I wasn't going to let them take another. Over here, they don't like physical wrestling, but that's what we do."    "It's the best I can do. I lost to someone considered to be the best in the world. If they would have called that match even, I would have won."      96 kg/211.5 lbs. - Justin Ruiz - 2nd  "I felt pretty good for the most part. I have to work a little bit on my lift and my par terre defense."    "That lift (against Pena) felt good. Earlier this year at the Open and the World Team Trials my offense wasn't where it should be. Coming here, I think it helped a little big."    "Competing here was really big. Just getting more matches in is going to be a big help in preparing for the World Championships."      120 kg/264.5 lbs. - Rulon Gardner - 2nd  "I'm right there. I've just got to get a little better footwork and get my core wrestling skills at 100 percent and then it will be there. I'm working to hard to try and out-pummel him and I just to not get so aggressive."    "I'm going to go back and train. Learn from my mistakes and losses. All this loss does is give me the extra-motivation to go back and do the things I need to do to beat him."
