    Page returns to Central as volunteer assistant coach

    Daniel Page proves that once you've gone Dutch, there's no turning back, as the NCAA All-American wrestler for Central College is returning to his alma mater as a volunteer assistant coach for the Dutch, the Division III school in Pella, Iowa announced Friday.

    Page, who graduated this spring from Central, earned All-American honors by placing seventh at the 2015 NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships. The four-year letterwinner from Tumwater, Wash. was a three-time NCAA qualifier, and was named all-Iowa Conference three consecutive years. Page was team co-captain as a senior, completing his mat career with a 103-44 record. He is just the 11th wrestler in Dutch wrestling history to reach the 100-win mark, and the first since 2003.

    Beyond the impressive stats, Page achieved additional honors as a Central wrestler. He earned the team's outstanding freshman award in 2012, the most outstanding performer award in 2013, 2014 and 2015 and the Lawrence Award for outstanding work ethic in 2014 and 2015.

    "We're really excited to have Daniel join our staff," head coach Eric Van Kley said. "He has been through our program and knows the expectations of the wrestlers. Daniel is going to be a huge help working with our 125 and 133 weight classes."

    "Daniel is a tremendous young man," Van Kley added. "He is an all-American and guys really look up to him."

    Page is now the sixth coach on Central's wrestling staff.

    "Our staff continues to get stronger every year," Van Kley said. "It helps anytime you can grow the staff and add more experience."
