ALL-TIME Coaches (NAIA)– Top 30 with 46+ wins (as of July 2017)

August 3, 2018 5:57 PM

Editor’s Notes; The gathering of totals for coaches’ dual meet wins in NAIA is challenging as the records are often not publicized as well as in other divisions. The NAIA has been great in recent years for schools starting or re-starting a program as they have more than doubled in numbers in the past decade. Another challenge in gathering numbers and records is that many schools have changed from NAIA to Division II or III and such so we welcome input, corrections and even snide remarks as long as they are accompanied by information that can help us improve our records.
