Top 100 College teams Part 4 (in dual meet win percentages over history)
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. Verifying accurate team winning percentages are challenging as each win or loss recorded, or not, makes a difference. The following is the top 70 schools in the NCAA Division III teams ranked by top wining percentage. Part 1 had Women’s and National Junior College teams, Part 2 had the NAIA top teams. Part 3 had the Division III teams.
Note the W-L records in italics are not complete.
