Qwentin Welborn won the State Championship for the South Carolina Wrestling Tournament. He defeated Davis Stubbs from Woodruff 6-3. On his way to the finals he had victories over Battery Creek and Lake City. The Lake City wrestler, Andre McFadden, was the reigning state champion and was undefeated going into the semi-final bout with Welborn. Qwentin defeated him with a takedown in overtime to take the victory. Qwentin was the state runner up last year and compiled a record of 38-3 this season. He was the region champion, upper state runner-up, and becomes the first Daniel wrestler to win an individual state championship since 1999. Great job, Qwentin!
