Whether it was stated by his college cross country and track coach or himself, Corbin Hansen, a 2016 graduate of Sandy Creek High School, is “that classic Class C kid that was a multi-sport athlete in high school and came into the University of Nebraska-Kearney cross country and track programs with nothing to lose and everything to gain.”
His coach, over the past four years at UNK, Brady Bonsall knows the feeling of being that small class kid hitting the big stage at the next level, as Bonsall was a standout runner at Burwell High School and went on to star at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
“Corbin, in my mind, battled through some injuries in his career here, but he did exactly that, he battled,” Bonsall said.
“Corbin is just a competitor that doesn’t like to lose, and that really propelled him in his career. He has worked hard to get where he got and truly became a leader for our programs on many levels,” shared Bonsall.
