“All and all it was a great day,” said Brock head coach Marty Calder. “I’m always looking at the ones we didn’t get, but it wasn’t that bad. We did have some moments today where we weren’t as good as we could have been.”

Brock will have six of their wrestlers compete for bronze.

“These athletes are on the path to the highest level, so sometimes you see some inconsistencies and mistakes,” said Calder. “You know it’s coming, the wave of misfortune, and we talk about it and that’s when we have to dig our heels in and get through it.”
