The National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) has released the latest NCAA Women’s Coaches Poll, with the Iowa Hawkeyes remaining in the top spot. King University and North Central College have swapped places for the second time in a row, with King now in second and North Central in third. Grand Valley State and McKendree University round out the top five rankings. The top-ranked wrestlers from the previous poll have retained their positions at their respective weights. The rankings are determined by a Tournament Power Index based on individual rankings directly correlated to placement points at the NCWWC.
The poll methodology includes a breakdown of TPI point totals, with rankings determined by individual performances rather than a team’s dual strength. Each region has representation on the ranking committee to ensure a fair and accurate assessment of the teams. The continued success of the Iowa Hawkeyes and the shifting positions of other top teams make the NCAA Women’s Coaches Poll an exciting and dynamic resource for wrestling fans.
