    10 Years of NCAA Championship Data

    With another NCAA Tournament in the books, it gives us the opportunity to add more data to the ever-growing pile of stats. Looking back at the last ten years, here are some updated figures regarding key benchmarks in college wrestling.

    Since there was no national tournament in 2020, our look has extended back to the 2013 season. Also, remember that the Ivy League schools did not participate during the 2021 season, so their numbers may have taken a slight hit, as a result.
