Dakotas College Wrestling Programs
As we look at all of the colleges that have or once had a wrestling team the schools will be listed in their state in descending order by the number of wins. Continuing across the northern tier of states next up are the schools in North and South Dakota. North Dakota State and South Dakota State are the only schools with over 500 wins and the are the top in their respective states. Later we shall look at and publish the Top 10-20 coaches in each state. We welcome input, information and feedback. Contact us at martinkfleming@gmail.com
