COACHES: Always remember why we got into coaching. Most of us coach for something bigger than wins, losses, glory, or power. Remember that true success is not measured by the number of wins we accumulate but by the number of winners produced.

The NCAA approved a proposal to establish a Division III women’s wrestling championship starting in the 2027-28 academic year along with a Division III women’s wrestling committee. Under the current format, all three divisions compete at the same NCAA Championships.
