Reader Interview

Great interview with a great representative of ISU, Jon Reader:

Reader reflects on national championship, his future - Iowa State Daily: Sports

Nice article, it's great that he's staying. Hopefully he can influence others with his intensity and character. You can easily tell he loves Iowa State.
This quote of his was surprising:

"I actually still talk to coach Sanderson. We're real good friends, and I'm glad he won the title. He's a great guy, and I have nothing but great things to say about him."

ISD: Where are you going from here in your wrestling career?
I am actually staying here and being part of the Cyclone Wrestling Club under coach Jackson. I've had other places ask me to come to their schools and universities, but there's no way I'm leaving coach Jackson and the Cyclone nation. Everything they've done for me to help me reach my potential, I want to give back to this university and help these Iowa State athletes reach their potential.

Glad he's staying around and hopefully the Cyclone Wrestling club can get the support they need to keep him and others in Ames as training partners for the team, as well as keeping Olympic caliber guys in a CWC singlet.

I love the way he talks about Coach Jackson, sounds like he's an awesome mentor.
