through the sport. You learn to work through pain, muscle soreness, and fatigue.
In essence you become a tougher person through the sport of wrestling by never

"Missouri's Matt Pell: The Quest Continues" by Les Honig, Amateur Wrestling News
Sometimes greatness on the mat is measured by national victories; trophies won;
records broken. Other times, in the rarest of cases, success is determined by a
whole different measuring scale: persevering in the face of adversity; forever
striving towards that yet unattained goal; all while radiating a love for the
entire quest whose glow none can extinguish...

The race for the mythical national title had a familiar look this season, as
