Local Sports from The CourierMonday, March 18, 2013Local roundup: ONU's Kwiat wins second national titleThe Tiffin native won his second straight NCAA Division III national wrestling championship by whipping Jules Doliscar of Ithaca (N.Y.) 8-0 for the 174-pound title. Kwiat, ONU's only four-time wrestling All-American, was dominant in the finals battle between the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the weight class.

In the third period, the Calvert product scored a reversal, got a penalty point after Doliscar locked hands and earned a point for riding time to complete the major decision. Kwiat (45-3) won the 2012 NCAA title as a junior, finished fifth as a sophomore and fourth his freshman year.
