| 2008 NCAA D-1 National Wrestling Championships Championship Semi Finals p1 Images by John Sachs and Tony Rotundo |
| 125--Semi: #1 Angel Escobedo (Indiana University) vs. #5 Charlie Falck (Iowa) |
| "He was tough on top and I was just like, ‘I have to find some will to win…something just to pull out that I’ve never used before.’ That was a move that I’ve never hit in my life. To get to the NCAAs you have to use every strength and ability you have to get to the finals.” Angel Escobedo, Indiana University |
| 125--Semi: #2 Jayson Ness (Minnesota) vs. #3 Paul Donahoe (Nebraska-Lincoln) |
| “You never give up. You never know what’s going to happen late in a match. [My opponent] was tired, I’m tired, but good things are going to happen if you wrestle hard for seven minutes.” Jayson Ness, Minnesota |
| 133--Semi: #3 Coleman Scott (Oklahoma State University) vs. #2 James Kennedy (Illinois) |
| What is going to be your preparation and expectations heading into your finals match against Iowa’s Joey Slaton? “It’s the national finals. It’s going to be the most intense match of both of our careers. I know that and he knows that. I’m just looking for a good match, and it’s going to be fun. I’m excited.” Coleman Scott, Oklahoma State University |
| 133--Semi: #4 Joey Slaton (Iowa) vs. #1 Franklin Gomez (Michigan State University) |
| “I have learned that you need to be ready for every match. Two of my matches…one I ended up winning and the other I lost to Gomez. I wasn’t ready and I wasn’t prepared mentally. I didn’t get a good enough warm up, and I think that’s the biggest change this weekend.” Joey Slayton, Iowa |
| 141--Semi: #1 Chad Mendes (Cal Poly) vs. #4 Nathan Morgan (Oklahoma State University) |
| “There were a few times in the match I was pretty nervous. Nathan’s [Morgan] a tough guy, but I knew if I could keep my head in the game and kept wrestling I could get him.” Chad Mendes, Cal Poly |
