In the past nine seasons, 71 Vikings have earned All-American accolades and 42 wrestlers have been selected to the NAIA All-Academic Team.
“Promoting Coach Reedy to associate head coach was an easy decision for me,” said Mitchell, “Paul is involved in all aspects of this program and deserves much more credit than he receives for the success of Grand View wrestling. In my opinion, he is one of the top assistants in the country, and knowing that he could move on to be a head coach somewhere if he wanted to makes us all appreciate what he does here even more. This is just one way for us to show him how much we appreciate what he does and how much trust I have in him”.
