高级285磅的Seamus Carroll说：“这绝对很棒，因为每个人都希望您能获得最好的东西，并且您希望每个人都拥有最好的。” “这绝对会推动您和周围的其他人。我会说，这就是您可以看到最大的成长的地方。”

When asked about the success, wrestlers point to the collectively strong mindset and the work everyone has put into the sport.

"Before big tournaments, we'll all settle down and do some meditation, get our minds in the right place and get ready to wrestle," said senior Lucas Mosher, coming off a football season in which he was third-team all-state in Class A.

高级卢卡斯·莫瑟（Lucas Mosher）说：“在大型比赛之前，我们都会安定下来，做一些冥想，让我们的想法在正确的位置摔跤。”

"Practice is really all mental. There's a lot of physical and you just have to be mentally prepared, want to be there, want to do it. It makes it so much easier."

“练习确实是全部精神。有很多身体，您只需要做好精神准备，想在那里，想做它。这使它变得更加容易。”

一位出色的教练人员

This is Owen's seventh season as head coach. Troy Monks, a longtime coach at Elmira and an NCAA Division III national champion at Cortland State, has been his assistant since day one. Former Elmira High sectional champion John Robyck is in his third season as an assistant.

这是欧文（Owen）担任总教练的第七个赛季。特洛伊·僧侣（Troy Monks）是埃尔米拉（Elmira）的长期教练，也是科特兰州立大学（Cortland State）的NCAA III国家冠军，从第一天开始就一直是他的助手。前Elmira高级冠军John Robyck在他的第三个赛季担任助手。

Owen said he and Monks complement each other, adding Monks relates well to the wrestlers while bringing a different coaching style.

欧文说，他和僧侣互相补充，增加了僧侣与摔跤手相关，同时带来了不同的教练风格。

"I've only been wrestling for three years and they just help me with everything," Carroll said of the coaches. "My success on the mat is all them, I'd say. Well, mostly them."

卡洛尔谈到教练时说：“我只摔跤三年了，他们只是为我提供了一切。” “我在垫子上的成功就是所有人。好吧，主要是他们。”

Owen, who coached previously at Waverly and the University of Scranton, came into Horseheads with a focus on having intense, physical teams.

欧文（Owen）曾在韦弗利（Waverly）和斯克兰顿大学（University of Scranton）执教过，他进入了马头，重点是拥有激烈的身体团队。

"I think the first couple years that was a little bit harder, but a lot of these kids that are on varsity now, I started coaching at youth 10 years ago or something," Owen said. "That has transpired into them knowing the system from day one and really buying into it."

欧文说：“我认为最初的几年有点困难，但是许多现在正在大学的孩子，我10年前就开始在青年时代执教。” “从第一天起就知道了系统，并真正购买了系统。”

Horseheads has qualified for the state dual-meet tournament since it started in 2018. The Raiders beat Sachem North, 39-27, and Saratoga Springs, 42-18, this year to get to the semifinals for the first time in a watershed moment for the program.

自2018年开始以来，马头已经获得了州双锦标赛的资格。突袭者队今年以39-27击败了萨切姆北部和42-18的萨拉托加·斯普林斯，这是第一次在该计划的流域时刻进入半决赛。

"It was huge getting to that semis match," Mosher said. "Obviously didn't go how we wanted, but being the first team to get there, it felt great. We wanted more out of it though."

莫瑟说：“进入半决赛是巨大的。” “显然没有走我们想要的，但是作为到达那里的第一支球队，感觉很棒。我们想要更多。”

Time in the wrestling room and competition have gone hand-in-hand to produce a special season. Horseheads has wrestled around 40 dual meets, including tournaments and competition for its B team, along with several traditional invitationals.

在摔跤室和比赛中的时间已经与之共同制作了一个特殊的季节。 Horseheads摔跤了大约40次双打聚会，其中包括其B团队的比赛和竞赛以及几个传统邀请赛。

Mosher credited the coaches with helping the wrestlers prepare for big meets and said the busy schedule was pivotal in getting the Raiders primed for the postseason.

莫瑟（Mosher）将教练称赞为帮助摔跤手做准备大会的比赛，并说忙碌的日程安排在使突袭者队为季后赛中启动时至关重要。
