Jacks 4, 61-kilogram world team member for Team USA.

Has it sunk in yet that you are the guy?

You are the senior representative for Team USA?

Yeah, you know, sometimes I'm thinking, you know, where I look like a year ago,

I was like I was good.

I was one of the guys that, you know, would have been in contention.

But then like fast 40 year later thinking like now I am the guy Like, it's not, I don't have to think about it and, like, try and work towards it. Like, now I am. So now it's trying to be the best in the world. So it's starting to sink in, which is pretty cool. Yeah. Um, the experience of, of, you know, not getting to wrestle at Final X and having to get delayed,

how did that affect you?

What were your thoughts around?

Just like, you're kind of gearing up.

It's going to be June, I think it was 15th or 14th, whatever.

And then it gets pushed a month.

Yeah, at first I was upset.

You know, there was like rumors of different things on

Twitter and my dad was hearing. And so he was telling me, like, you got to just be ready. You know,

you never know, maybe it'll happen, maybe not. But he was just telling me to stay focused. And then

once we heard, obviously, I was, my training changed a lot because obviously I was gearing up getting ready to wrestle on June 14th

So then everything changed I go home for a couple days and then it's I was right back down at Oklahoma State training

Trying to just prepare and then finding out that it's in Fargo

I it worked out perfect for me because, you know, my teammates are there.

My brother was wrestling and, you know, a lot of high school kids, you know, that I know

were there.
