Saint Martin's University Athletics

In four years, Mike Danford posted a record of 72-9-1 and, as a freshman, won the city championship. He won the state championship at 136 lbs. as a sophomore, and was the first wrestler in Saint Martin's history to bring home a first-place medal. As a junior, he took second in the state. Following his junior season, he was chosen to wrestle on the area's All-Star Team against a Japanese cultural exchange team touring Washington. He went undefeated through the regular season as a senior, advancing to the state championships for the fourth year in a row. Danford was co-captain of his team in 1971-72, and was three times the recipient of his team's Most Valuable Player Award. During his senior year, he also served as acting head coach.
