Gone, Lost and Forgotten: Missouri College Athletic Union Team Titles won by Schools that No Longer Have Wrestling

The Missouri College Athletic Union existed from 1924 through the 1970-1971 season.  When exactly they first started sponsoring wrestling, I do not know.   They had wrestling up until the end though. 

What's confusing is that there is a school, called Graceland that won three team titles.  If it is referring to Graceland as in Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, they still have a wrestling team.  Albeit they dropped it for thirty some odd years and then added it back a few years ago, but they have wrestling.

I wonder though, and if you can answer this, it'd be much appreciated....did Graceland in Independence, Missouri have a wrestling program at one point?

If so, then they'd be the answer as to what is meant by Graceland. 

If so....
