In 2006, he placed fourth at nationals at 165 pounds, after finishing sixth at 165 pound in 2005. That season, the Vikings were the national runner-up.
A two-year captain, Henriksen was a three-time NWCA All-Academic team selection. In addition, he is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, is a student mentor and is a volunter at Children's Care Hospital.
After graduation, Henriksen plans to attend dental school.
