A former NCAA Division III national champion and Division I assistant, Nate Hansen enters his second season as the head wrestling coach at Simpson in 2013-14. He went 1-14 with a young lineup in his first season with the Storm. Hansen comes to Simpson from South Dakota State University, where he spent five seasons as an assistant coach for the Jackrabbits. “This is really a dream job for me,” said Hansen, who wrestled collegiately at Luther College. “Getting back to the Iowa Conference is a great opportunity for me. It’s a special conference and I want to give the same type of experience I had as a student-athlete to the students at Simpson.” A native of Gregory, South Dakota, Hansen was a two-time NCAA Division III All-American and the 2007 national champion at 125 pounds for the Norse. He also won the Iowa Conference Championship at 125 in 2007 and was a two-time National Wrestling Coaches Association Scholar All-American. In high school, Hansen was a three-time state champion. “We are very excited to have Nate leading our wrestling program,” director of athletics John Sirianni said. “After a fantastic career competing in the Iowa Conference, Nate was able to grow as a coach at South Dakota State. We believe he has the tools to continue to grow our program and reach the ultimate goal of competing for championships in the nation’s toughest wrestling conference.” Hansen graduated from Luther in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in Health and Physical Education before earning a master’s in Health, Physical Education and Recreation from South Dakota State in 2009. Hired on May 29, 2012, Hansen is the 17th head coach in program history.
