This national championship caps a historic season for the Menlo College women’s squad that saw the Oaks win a pair of titles at the WCWA National Championships and the Inaugural NAIA Women’s National Invitational.  Menlo also led the Individual Scholar All-American awards with ten wrestlers earning spots on the team. Of their ten award winners, half were NAIA finalists and four captured national titles. Team runners-up, Eastern Oregon followed with seven individual honorees while three other schools had two apiece (Central Christian College of Kansas, University of Providence, and Waldorf University).
The NAIA has been a leader in the growth of women’s wrestling on the collegiate level for many years and they took another step when they implemented the National Invitational this season which was hosted by the University of Jamestown. Rest of the story at
