Let's see nope a medal is definatly much bigger than a kid who just stands out.. Danny Swan stands out to for a huge upset by beating the unrated NATIONAL WRESTLING CHAMPION. Plus he received a first place medal for doing this. He is a wonderful teenager who worked his butt off through the season and then gave all the wrestling fans the best upset of the year by beating his opponent... Go Danny Swan!!!

No question about it. Danny Swan deserves it. After being one of his practice partners throughout the season, I don't think I have ever worked with such a hard worker. This kid had so much heart.
