Top College Teams by Wins #12–#23 (700+ wins)

Some of the schools with 700 and more wins have sponsored wrestling teams for over 100 years.  When looking at the number of seasons keep in mind that it was common for schools to discontinue teams in times of war and economic difficulties.  Cornell Univ. and Kent State Univ. are both in the top 15 schools and reached their 750th in last  season.  Indiana’s coach, Duane Goldman and Wisconsin’s Barry Davis both increased their totals and are the respective win leaders at each school.  Wartburg, Lycoming and Lock Haven all scored their 700th last season and are in the top 23 schools.
