Taylor & Tyler Riggi seniors Willowbrook What do you enjoy most about wrestling? Taylor: I enjoy how close you are with your teammates. Without their support and encouragement I wouldn't be where I am today. Tyler: Unlike other sports, wrestling is solely individual, so winning feels better. When you win in wrestling you know it was because of the work you put it and not because your team carried you. How have your skills improved since freshman year? Tyler: Great coaches my...

That makes it more fun - and we learn from each other. Do you have any pre-match rituals? I'm ver...
