Exira-EHK alum Evan Hansen accomplished something no other Grand View Wrestler has on Saturday night at the NAIA National Wrestling Tournament, he won his 4th National Championship of his career. Hansen won the 197-pound title for Grand View and helped his team to another team title as well. The Kimballton native capped off his senior season with a 15-0 record.

Grand View won their 9th National Championship in the past ten years. The Vikings scored 157 total points to win it. Menlo (Calif.) was the Runner-Up with 84.5 points.

The tourney was held at Hartman Arena in Park City, KS over the weekend.

Hansen beat fellow Iowan Isaac Bartel, of Montana State in the title match. He’s the 8th athlete in NAIA history to win four national titles and the first for Grand View to win four straight.
