Daniel Swain brings it home
By Josh Martin, Sports Editor

ur very own Daniel Swain, who competes for the

wrestling team here at Douglas College, captured

the men’s championship in the 149 Ibs class last
weekend at the National Collegiate Wrestling Association
in Macon, Ga. The 20 year-old squared off against
MA Baltimore’s Daniel Carr in the finals where Swain
ultimately took home the championship, defeating his
opponent by a fall. In all five matches that Swain wrestled, pa
he beat all of his opponents by fall, except for the semi- Ps
finals against Trevor Bailey from Marlon Military Institute.
Douglas College was the only Canadian school that entered
the tournament, so it’s a pretty big accomplishment by
Swain to take home the championship while representing
his country.
With the victory, Swain completed his wrestling season
with an impressive record of 10-0 in NCWA competition
and is expected to compete in the US Open Freestyle
Championships this summer.
“Daniel has a huge amount of confidence and wrestled like
someone who expected to win,” says Steve Rose, head
wrestling coach at Douglas, “it was admirable how calm he
was. He showed a great deal of poise. I think he has a great
future. He also does mixed martial arts, and I think he’s got |
a bright future in both.”
The freshman is currently enrolled in general studies at
Douglas College in his first year. Make sure to congratulate
him if you see him around. PJ
