Inducted in 1995

Fife High School

deceased

Coach Daniels was very instrumental in the early development of wrestling in the state of Washington. His teams were always very competitive and excelled at the state level. Coach Daniels developed Fife High School into one of the state's most competitive programs at a time when Fife was one of Washington's smallest schools competing in wrestling. His teams won three league titles and, at a time when schedules included twelve or fewer duals a season, had a string of seventeen straight victories over a two year period. Rick Daniels coached his wrestlers to 8 individual state titles and led his team to a second place finish at state in 1955 behind Lincoln High School of Tacoma. He is now deceased.

Rick Daniels was inducted by Dallas Chestnut.
