DES MOINES, IOWA - The 2025-2026 athletic year at Grand View University was nothing short of historic. Highlighted by four national championships (pushing Grand View past 20 total NAIA National Championships), including NAIA titles in Football, Men's Soccer, and Men's Wrestling, along with an Esports League of Legends national championship, cementing Grand View as one of the premier programs in NAIA athletics. The Vikings earned a 13th-place finish in the Learfield Directors Cup, claimed a 3rd-place finish in the HOA Commissioners Cup, and were crowned UEN Conference Cup Champions. Six individual national champions, 35 NAIA All-Americans, 113 All-Conference honorees, and 181 Daktronics Scholar-Athletes further underscore a program that competes and excels at the highest level both on the field and in the classroom. From Jackson Waring earning NAIA Player of the Year in football, to Kevin Ventura taking home the same honor in men's soccer, to GK being named NAIA Most Outstanding Wrestler of the Year, Grand View's student-athletes represented the Viking standard with pride all year long.
