Craig Sesker of USA Wrestling published a feature today on No. 1 heavyweight Ryan Flores, detailing his journey to American University and his dedication both on the wrestling mat and in the classroom.

The following are quotes in the article from Head Coach Teague Moore talking about Flores:

"Ryan is really fun to work with," Moore said. "He is very mobile for a heavyweight – he wrestles like a 133-pounder. He is really good at creating scoring opportunities. He wrestles an aggressive style where he is very good at attacking the legs. He's been in matches where guys try to slow him down, but Ryan's figured out what he needs to do to score."

"Ryan has very high goals academically, and he puts the extra time and effort in to excel in school," Moore said. "The guys on the team see how hard he works in the wrestling room and how hard he works in the classroom. And he lives the right lifestyle. He is a great leader for the younger guys on the team."
