The MMA Powerhouse of the Great Plains.
Championship banners and All-American honors have long defined @loperwrestling The Lopers have claimed five NCAA Division II team titles and finished as national runner-up six times while producing more than 180 All-Americans and 26 individual champions across the NAIA and DII levels.
That tradition of success has shaped a culture built on hard work, toughness, discipline and an unrelenting drive to compete. For some former UNK wrestlers, those qualities became the foundation for a new kind of fight.

Nebraska is home to the D2 wrestling national champs @loperwrestling! Their success builds to a long tradition of titles and grit. I was pleased to join the team and coaches in their celebration and recognition at the Nebraska Blue & Gold Team Camp in Kearney.
🚨 This week’s Wrestling Snacks features Dalton Jensen — NCAA DII National Champ and Head Coach of UNK Wrestling, where he’s led the team to two NCAA DII National Titles. He shares powerful insights on athlete development, parenting, and sustainable program building.
One of my favorite parts of the interview:
💬 "Don’t remove the struggle... Facing hard things early teaches kids how to adapt, troubleshoot, and build real toughness. If they don’t face it before college, they’ll be unprepared when it hits."
