Virginia & West Virginia College Wrestling Programs

The following are colleges and universities in Virginia and West Virginia that have or have had wrestling teams.  For the ones that we have some history they are ranked by the most historical dual meet wins to the least.  The numbers and dates in italics are tentative and uncertain or incomplete.  For several schools we have no records other than they had a wrestling program at one time.  They are listed at the bottom.  These state by state lists will also be posted on The TakeDown Report Twitter and Facebook accounts.  We encourage you to check out those sites for more wrestling news.
