J Robinson says:
(after 3rd, 5th, 7th Place matches)
"What can you say? The only way we could win was with the team. Guys like Volkmann and Owen. Owen Elzen's been wrestling since December with a torn ACL, nobody knew it. We kept him out of the lineup. Everyplace guys have been stepping up."
"Momentum was good but I think what everybody did here - the coaches, the staff, everybody - they didn't let the defeats get 'em down."
(On winning the National Championship) " It's gonna be pretty special. We've been working for this for a long time. Everybody at Minnesota and the fans and everybody."
Lowney says:
"We knew what we had to do and we just when out there and let it fly"
(after second day)
"It's not over yet. We've got 10 guys wrestling tomorrow that can score a lot of points, and the race is still even so that is the key. We came in with the idea to get 10 all-Americans, thinking that was what we needed to do to win, and that's what we're still trying to do. We didn't get a lot of breaks tonight, so we have to make our breaks tomorrow."
(On questionable calls in Becker's and Pike's matches) "When you come in to Carver Hawkeye you're not gonna get those calls. So we know what we've got to do tomorrow, we're gonna come back and do it."
(after first day)
(On bonus points) "We've got to score those bonus points and our guys know it and thats the way they've wrestled, so we know its going to play a part in this whole thing. Our guys are going out there and wrestling well. If its by seven points they're trying to make it by eight. Every one is important. I don't know how many we've got, but I know we've got a lot of them."
"We wanted to win them all today. We thought we could win them all. That's where we wanted to be. We're wrestling good. We're going to have to continue to wrestle and I think the other thing is, other schools are going to have to step up and wrestle Iowa in a different way. If they keep bowing down to Iowa, the same thing will happen. We can't do it by ourselves. We've got to have other people help us."
(On Volkmann) "He's just one tenacious kid. He's a kid you can't really outwork. I don't think you can work him hard enough. He spent all last summer in camp, worked out every day, and working with him it got better and better and its starting to come together right now."
