NCWWC Regions Announced ahead of 2024-25 Season

Following approval from the Executive Committee Thursday, the regional assignments for the National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling Championship (NCWWC) for the 2024-25 season have been solidified.

The NCWWC will move from a six-region qualification to eight regions for the coming year, a testament to the explosive growth the sport of women’s wrestling is currently experiencing. A total of 96 teams across NCAA Division I, II and III will field women’s wrestling programs this coming season, with 23 of those programs competing for the first time in the fall of 2024.

“The NCWWC Women’s Coaches Leadership Group spent quite a bit of time looking at this from all angles to develop a solid working set of recommendations,” Leadership Group Chair Cliff Cushard of Adrian College said. “The inter-complexity of the various pieces was really quite impressive. I commend everyone involved and want to thank the NWCA for their expert input and guidance along the way. The NCWWC Executive Committee understood and appreciated this work and approved it for next season. It is going to be an amazing final year of the NCWWC – with a large field and the opportunity for more NCAA student-athletes and varsity programs to earn their places in history. I’m excited about the future of our great sport!”

In moving to the eight regions, the top four at each weight class will still qualify to the National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling Championship March 7-8, 2025, increasing the field of student-athletes to 320 from 240 this season. The 2025 NCWWC will take place at Xtreme Arena in Coralville, IA. … more at … NWCAonline.com/NCWWC-regions-announced-ahead-of-2024-25-season
