Virginia & West Virginia College Wrestling Programs

The following are colleges and universities in Virginia and West Virginia that have or have had wrestling teams.  For the ones that we have some history they are ranked by the most historical dual meet wins to the least.  The numbers and dates in italics are tentative and uncertain or incomplete.  For several schools we have no records other than they had a wrestling program at one time.  They are listed at the bottom.  These state by state lists will also be posted on The TakeDown Report Twitter and Facebook accounts.  We encourage you to check out those sites for more wrestling news.

Football Playoffs

Well in a jump away from wrestling the College Football Playoff Semifinals today (well Division I) have two schools with solid college wrestling programs playing two schools who had teams but dropped them.  Makes it easy to decide who to rout for.  Attended the last home match at Clemson in February of 1995.  For some reason the poor cash strapped Southeast Conference can’t afford a sport that is minimal in cost to operate. Shame on them.

NC State Brings Home Two Titles at Midlands Championships

Pack places fourth as team, four finish in top-five overall
Evanston, Ill. – For the first time in program history, a member of the NC State wrestling team capture a first place finish at the prestigious Midlands Championships – and the Wolfpack did so twice tonight. Redshirt-seniors Tommy Gantt (157 pounds) and Nick Gwiazdowski (285) each won NC State’s first titles at the Midlands Championships.
Gantt claimed the Pack’s first-ever title at the Midlands Championships, cruising to a 6-0 record and the title at 157 pounds. Going 4-0 on Tuesday to reach the semifinals, Gantt picked up two wins over ranked foes in Wednesday action for the championship. He started with a 6-4 win in overtime over #15 Chad Walsh of Rider. In the title bout, Gantt defeated top-seed and #7 Cody Pack of South Dakota State, 4-2.
Gwiazdowski was dominating enroute to his title win, and extends his NCAA-best winning streak to 71 straight matches in the process. He used three bonus point wins – two falls and a major decision – to reach Wednesday’s semifinals. Just like Gantt, Gwiazdowski beat two ranked foes on Wednesday to win the title. He took out #13 Sam Stoll of Iowa in the afternoon session with a 10-1 major decision, then in the night-cap defeated #15 Tanner Hall of Arizona State, 4-3.
Both Gantt and Gwiazdowski remain undefeated on the season, combining to go 28-0, including nine wins over ranked foes.
In addition to Gantt and Gwiazdowski’s wins, NC State also had two other grapplers on the final podium as So. Kevin Jack was third at 141 pounds, and Jr. Pete Renda was fifth at 184.
Jack was a perfect 4-0 in action on Wednesday in the wrestlebacks. He started with a 16-1 technical fall, followed by decisions of 7-4 and 6-3. In the third place bout, Jack topped #4 Anthony Ashnault of Rutgers 5-2.
Renda scored a pair of wins over ranked foes on his way to a fifth place finish. His first match resulted in a first-period pin, and then downed #20 Nicholas Gravina of Rutgers. Renda narrowly fell to #9 Sammy Brooks of Iowa, 8-7, but finished strong with a 3-2 win over #17 Abram Ayala of Princeton in his final bout.
In the team standings, NC State placed fourth with 95.5 points. No. 2 Iowa won the event with 152 points, followed by Nebraska (135) and Rutgers (110).
Up Next: NC State will be in action for the first time this season, when the Wolfpack travels to Duke on Jan. 6 for a 7 p.m. dual.
