Six Illini wrestlers are in New York for the start of the NCAA Championships, starting Thursday I started wrestling ... when I was 6 — and probably younger than that. My dad would show the doctor and my mother some clips on tape, so maybe that conditioned me.
(11 a.m., ESPNU). Sports editor MATT DANIELS caught up with the six before they left town:

133 pounds, redshirt junior
The most rewarding part of the season ... is yet to come with the national tournament. That’s where we really shine, and that’s where I plan to wrestle my best.
