Top 100 College teams in dual meet win percent in history – Part 2 (NAIA)
Top 100 College teams (in dual meet win percentages over history) Part 2
Earlier we listed the top college teams in total dual meet wins across the past 120 years. This list ranks the teams by the highest winning percentages of dual meets across the program’s history. Now, verifying accurate team winning percentages are more challenging as each win or loss recorded, or not recorded, makes a difference. Thus with that caveat, the following is the top 30 schools in NAIA collegiate teams ranked by wining percentage. Part 1 had Women’s and National Junior College teams.
The top 30 schools with NAIA Wrestling Programs are ;
