T.C. Dantzler, Colorado Springs, Colo. (Gator WC)
Will face returning World champion Volodimir Shatskykh (Ukraine) in the first round
"I want to pick up where I left off last year (after placing fifth in the World). I'm really anxious about this tournament and looking forward to this opportunity. I've worked hard and I'm very motivated to win this."
Brad Vering, Colorado Springs, Colo. (New York AC)
Will face Nikola Kinezvic (Montenegro) in the first round
"I feel real good and I'm ready to get it rolling. I feel real good wrestling on the same day as Justin and T.C. I train with both of those guys and I feel real comfortable wrestling on the same day as both of them. I'm ready to go, I can't wait."
Justin Ruiz, Colorado Springs, Colo. (New York AC)
Will face John Tarkong (Palau) in the first round
"I think the experience helps out a lot. I've had a good year and I'm really excited to be here. Not placing here last year has been a huge motivator for me. I've tried to look at my weak points and I've tried to strengthen them."
"We have a very strong team. Seeing our teammates doing well definitely inspires us to want to go out and do well. I'm looking forward to getting out there tomorrow and seeing what I can do.
