A former NCAA Division III national champion and Division I assistant, Nate Hansen enters his fourth season as the head wrestling coach at Simpson in 2015-16. In 2014-15, Hansen led Simpson to its best dual record in nine seasons. The Storm went 7-11 overall, the most dual wins by the program since 2005-06. He also coached two nationally-ranked wrestlers in Jonathan Melton and Jacob Mize and helped Melton earn all-Iowa Conference honors at the NCAA Central Region Championships. Hansen comes to Simpson from South Dakota State University, where he spent five seasons as an assistant coach for the Jackrabbits. A native of Gregory, South Dakota, Hansen was a two-time NCAA Division III AllAmerican 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. 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.
