Daniels  helped Chadron State win the NAIA District 11 swimming championships in both 1969 and 1970. In ’69, he won both backstrokes, was second in the 200-meter individual medley and was a member of the 400-meter freestyle relay team. The relay victory allowed CSC to nip Kearney State 140-137 for the title. The following year, Daniels set new district records while winning both backstrokes and he also won the 200 individual medley. He scored seven points at the NAIA National Meet that year, and was the only CSC swimmer to ever place at the national meet.
 A native of Cheyenne, Daniels owned an auto detailing business in Blackhawk, S.D., for 27 years. He now has a sign and logo printing business there.
