TS, you have to look at what level the accomplishments took place. That's why your answer will vary. Mark won an NCAA championship and also placed 7th in the Olympics. Dan neither won an NCAA championship nor made an Olympic wrestling team. Dan was just an all-american at the collegiate level and only an alternate at the Olympic level (didn't make the team). Although "he (Dan Severn) quickly became a top high school and collegiate wrestler capturing many titles, honors, and several national and world titles. As a high school wrestler Severn was a two-time national champion and set eight national records in his career. Severn was inducted into Arizona State University's wrestling hall of fame at the end of his collegiate career. After completing his degree program and graduation Severn entered numerous competitions from 1982 to 1994 that took him to Japan, Hungary, Cuba, France, and Turkey. On each trip, Severn captured another title. He also secured 13 National AAU wrestling championships during those years."
