27 BS: ere are a lot of things I'll take with me. Growing up, being an adult, being independent, and moving forward in every aspect of life, wheth- er it's sports or work or whatever it is. PL: e biggest thing that I've taken away and talk- ed about a lot in job interviews is the three-legged stool. You have your academics, your athletics, and your social life. You have to have it all in balance or your stool will fall over. Tom and Terry are al- ways harping on that. You have to have balance or it will affect the other aspects of your life. LV: Logan, you mentioned you want to be a veteri- narian, has that always been the plan? LM: When I first came here I was pre-physical therapy. at was too boring for me, so I switched to pre-med, but I didn't want to be inside all of the time, so I stuck to the vet thing. I grew up on a farm, so it kind of made sense. LV: What is something you guys learned about Tom and Terry that most people don't know? PL: Everybody sees one version of Tom and Terry at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, but what I would say to everybody is that Tom and Terry care. If you think they don't care, then you don't know them. ey care about you, the care about your wrestling, they want to know about your social life and family. ey genuinely care from their heart. BS: at's good. I was going to say they're the type of guys that give you the shirt off their back. LM: I'll go home and people will ask me if that's an act when they're out there jumping around on the mat during the meet. But the answer is no. ey're just that fired up about everything. ey're pure competitors. LV: All the heart in the world, not just for the sport, but for their athletes. I think that's fair. Lastly, what is the one thing you're going to miss most about your experience at Iowa? PL: e whole athletic experience in general. My teammates. I love these guys. I couldn't ask for better roommates. We may have different per- sonalities, but we get along great. And athletics in general. I have a lot of friends from other sports and it's fun to hang out and get perspective and cheer them on in their endeavors, whatever they're pursuing. LM: I'm going to miss the wrestling, the athletics, and everything, because next year will be the first time I can't necessarily call myself an 'athlete.' It was a big part of my life I had growing up that isn't going to be around anymore. BS: e teammates. Even the guys that have come and gone throughout our career. And I'll miss my roommates. I'll probably have to find my own house or something. LV: We know Logan is pursuing vet school, what are your plans for aer college? BS: I don't know yet. I'm still debating what I'll eat for supper tonight. I've got options out there, but right now my sole focus is to win a national title. at's the goal right now and that's where I'm put- ting all my energy. PL: I've applied for different jobs, but I'm not focused on it until aer March 17. I know I'm pas- sionate about sports and agriculture food sustain- ability, so I would like to get into one of those two realms. Maybe graduate school down the line, but I'm going to work for a couple years and get a taste of that. BS: I probably will not be taking graduate school. LV: So we know that about you. PL: He still does well in school. We have a good household GPA. LV: All those nights sitting by the TV fire are pay- ing off.
