Luke Swanson put together one of the strongest months for the Cougars, finishing with a 10–3 record highlighted by a tournament title and two additional podium finishes. He captured the Dan Harris Open championship with a dominant 4–0 performance, delivering three tech falls (21–3, 23–5, 19–3) before closing out the final with a decisive 10–3 victory. Swanson continued his momentum at the Augsburg Invite, placing second after earning a 6:10 pin, a 17–1 tech fall, and a 10–3 decision before a narrow 7–6 loss to No. 2 Cooper Willis. He added five tech falls and a pin throughout the month—one of the highest bonus-point rates on the roster. Swanson also secured a 4th-place finish at the Jimmie Open, notching 18–2 and 21–4 tech falls before falling in sudden victory (11–8) and later to No. 17 Lane Ewing.
