Coach and wrestler matched from GRHS Hall of Fame, Grand Rapids High School (ISD 318, Minnesota) (Hall-of-fame list page; the inductee entry headed 'Nalan (skip) Norvard' ('Inducted 1993' follows it), two paragraphs, from the heading through '188-59-3 in dual meet competition.' The entry's body text writes the name as 'Mr. Norvard' and 'Skip'; the surname Nalan appears only in the heading.).

How these are counted

• NCAA tournaments are the championship years in which Norvard Nalan was the established head coach of a team with entrants. They are not years of employment; there were no championships in 1943–45 or 2020.
• A year inside the span with no established coach is listed but not counted. A year with two head coaches counts in full for both.
• Team titles are official NCAA titles from the published standings (1928, 1931 and 1933 have none). Top four and top ten come from the same standings.
• Entries count each wrestler once per tournament; All-Americans are counted as each era awarded them; wins and losses include forfeit, default and disqualification results; falls exclude forfeits.
• The head coach for each year, with sources, is on that year's program page. Report a correction.
