Top All-Time Division III Coaches in Dual Meet Wins

TDR Editor’s Notes ; This list of college coaches by the number of dual meet victories in which they led their teams while in Division III. Division III was created apart from Division II with it’s first championships in 1974. The D-3 schools are ones without athletic scholarships and in wrestling they are clustered mostly in the Northeast, Northern Plains and some in the midwest. Coaches with connections to North Carolina schools include Jamie Gibbs at Baldwin-Wallace (79th) who coached at UnC-Pembroke before going on to Ohio. Listed are just the top100 coaches but we seek to keep track of all. We welcome input, information and reactions to us at martinkfleming@gmail.com
