Women's wrestling on Wednesday took a big step toward becoming the 91st NCAA championship sport, with its projected first NCAA championship occurring in winter 2026.
The NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics voted at its meeting Wednesday to recommend Divisions I, II and III sponsor legislation to add a national collegiate women's wrestling championship. The Association-wide committee oversees the Emerging Sports for Women program, which includes women's wrestling.
