125 pounds  Jason Powell (Nebraska)    "It's great, really good. All year, I've been used to guys not taking shots on me. He came out to wrestle. It is sweet. I wish I had pinned him."    "It is the greatest feeling ever. I have been looking forward to winning the national championship since I went to Nebraska. I got it my last year."    (about winning by technical fall)  "I never dreamed this. I just pretty much dominated him on top. I wrestled him last year two or three times. I knew how he wrestled. I didn't scout him. I didn't expect to face him in the finals."    (about his loss in the conference meet)  "I put it behind me and was not too worried about it. That is how I have always been. I don't dwell on losses and I put them behind me."    "I plan on wrestling international freestyle. I don't know what weight. I will take a little time off though."    133 pounds  Zach Roberson (Iowa State)    (about his goal of making the finals)  "That was part of the dream. This was the other part."    (about his first takedown technique)  "That was not planned. I'm just out there wrestling. Sometimes I don't think. It just happens."    (about Moore's physical style early on)  "I kind of thought he would be physical in the beginning. I had to counter that by moving and with fake shots. Right at first, it was working for him."    (his thoughts at the beginning of the year)  "My thoughts at the beginning of the season was I was in the finals and hopefully winning. I knew it was a tough weight. Travis Lee is one of the quickest guys I ever wrestled. Johnny Thompson is also a great wrestler. Lee was the No. 1 seed. I was fortunate enough to beat him. It gave me confidence here."    (about his matches against Johnny Thompson)  "Johnny's style and my style don't work well for me. He is the kind of wrestler I have trouble with. He and Lee were on the opposite side of the bracket. I didn't know where I'd be. I trained to beat everybody."    "It's the best feeling ever. I'm speechless. This is something I have dreamed of since I started wrestling. Ever since I can remember, I wanted to be NCAA champion."    (his future)  "I'll do some freestyle. I'll take a day or two break. I'm wrestling in Vegas for the U.S. Nationals in about three weeks."    141 pounds  Cliff Moore (Iowa)    "This is great. A lot better than second place."    (about getting double leg takedowns)  "He's got a square stance. Coach told me. I knew I could double him. Now, guys often have staggered stance and you can only get to one leg. I also had him on his heels a lot. I was shooting doubles off of that."    (about his basic techniques here)  "If you stay in good position, basics can work. As long as you are the aggressor, you can win with basic stuff."    "I have always come here to win. I kept working that way. Last year, I lost in the semifinals and did not wrestle well after."    "That was big for the Iowa team, just it was not for first. The goal was getting as high as possible. It was difficult last year, going to the Hawk party afterward. We had one national champion but the total team was down."    (about getting his picture put up as an Iowa national champion)  "Getting a picture on the wall is a lot better that just your name up there."    149 pounds  Jesse Jantzen (Harvard)    "I am ecstatic. My family is here to be with me. Esposito is an amazing opponent. I am happy and fortunate to win."    "This is incredible for me. It's a relief. It's been a goal since my freshman year. I fell short then, and I took third twice."    (about Andy McNerney, the past Harvard All-American that was also from his high school)  "Andy is a close family friend. He worked with me since I was young. He guided me since elementary school through college. He's been a big difference."    "Any time you get the first takedown, then get some backpoints, it makes a big difference. The idea is for me to get on top. I am real comfortable if I get the early takedown and get on top."    (about how he seemed stronger than opponents)  "I weight train hard. Wrestling takes a lot of things, weight training, conditioning, technique.     (about his decision as the nation's top recruit to choose Harvard)  "I'm real happy with that decision. It was the best choice. I love the coaching staff. We are close. The academics there will give me a chance for a great job. We are an up and coming program."    "I am aspiring for freestyle, the Olympics. I may also do graduate school, and maybe coach."    "My dad was my coach throughout elementary school, middle school and high school. He still coaches from the crowd. It has been a big plus - never negative. They travel everywhere to be with me with wrestling."    157 pounds  Matt Gentry (Stanford)    (about possibly giving up riding time to his opponent in the third period)  "I knew it was close. I saw it was like 49 seconds. We went into a big scramble. I wanted a reversal and I got it."    (about getting on the bottom position, since Percival is a good rider)  "I wanted to wrestle him from all positions. I wrestled him in the All-Star Classic and I was able to escape from him. I felt comfortable on the bottom."    (about academics and wrestling)  "It goes hand in hand. Ted Leland, our athletic director, says that. What I do on the mat, it helps me in school, socially, all that I do. Likewise, academics helps me in wrestling - focus, discipline, work ethic - all the things you need to be a great wrestler."    (about what his win does for wrestling in the West)    "I hope it picks it up. Respect, recruits, more national champions."    "A lot of kids heard that you have to be in a top 10 program to win a national title. I disproved that. Anybody can be a national champion with the right work ethic and determination.    (about close matches)  "I'd like 38 one-point matches. If I could wrestle every day one of those matches, I would."    165 pounds  Troy Letters (Lehigh)    (about his first period tilt)  "It was a half and a tilt. He was trying to step over, like the last match. I anticipated that and got the tilt."    "He is good off the ankle pick and duck unders. I tried to wrestle my match, a smart match."    "The coaches told me to stay inside the tie. He likes to work his moves from the inside. I got the inside control."    (about the last four minutes)  "It was the slowest minutes of my life."    (about losing to Lewis earlier this year)  "After I lost to him, I came off the mat and I told the coaches I knew we can beat him. It was a win-win situation."    (about how it feels to win)  "It is still sinking in. I can't wait to see my parents and friends. Then tomorrow, I start working for next year."    (about talking to Lehigh legend Mike Caruso after the match)  "Mike Caruso, he is a big inspiration for our team. He was the best. He has a lot of intelligent things to say to wrestlers at our level. He says take it like a dual meet, one match at a time."    174 pounds  Chris Pendleton (Oklahoma State)    "I owe so much to so many people, to my high school coach, all of my coaches at Oklahoma State any my teammates. They all had more confidence in me than I had. They told me I was going to be a national champion, a multiple national champion. I never believed them until this year."    (about his loss to Askren at the conference meet)  "It helped motivate me and helped me focus. Coach Branch, he said that for he and Pat (Smith) it didn't matter that it was not perfect. The won national titles when they lost that season. So winning the national title is all that matters."    (why he didn't believe he could do this)  "I don't know. I never envisioned myself doing it. I never thought I would be here."    "I would have liked to have won in a better fashion. I'll get over it. I wanted a major decision bad."    (about his teammates losing in the finals)  "It breaks my heart. To see a guy like Tyrone Lewis not win a national title… The guys in our room will tell you that he is hands down the best college wrestler. I pushed it out of my mind and focused on me. They would have done the same to me."    "The second straight team title is g
