Hall of Fame
Dan Thrush was a four-year varsity wrestling starter who made an impact early by racking up the most wins ever by a freshman–a record he led until 2003–and winning All Catholics. Dan would go on to win three more All-Catholic titles during his time at Canisius, making him the only Canisius Wrestler ever to win four total. In his junior year, Thrush placed second overall in the New York State Catholic High School Athletic Association. He repeated that feat as a senior and won the CHSAA Ironman Award for finishing in the top six in the state each of his four years at Canisius. Thrush also won the Monsignor Martin League's Most Outstanding Wrestler ward in 1999. Over his four years at Canisius Dan won numerous tournaments and 109 matches–a school record that stood for 20 years.
