Luke Stanich shared his reaction after defeating Bo Bassett at the U20 World Team Trials. He explained how he defeated Bassett, and spoke about staying in a good position and controlling the hand fight.

In an interview with USA Wrestling, Stanich explained what the key to his victory was, saying:

"Just staying in good position and controlling the hand fight. Bo's known for controlling the hand fight, but so am I. I knew it was going to be a battle, all three matches and I wanted to get done too, but huge kudos to him. He's a dog and he just got me better, I got better at wrestling because of him. So a lot of respect there.

"I'm really happy because that last match, I was actually able to get to my own shot and finish. A lot of people doubted that I was going to beat him again because I didn't have a lot of offense at the Open, so I'm glad I could get one of those," Luke Stanich said.

Stanich also spoke about competing in a three-match series, revealing that it was the first time he was competing in one.
