    KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- For the first time in association history, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) will deliver the final bouts of the 2016 NAIA Wrestling National Championships, presented by USA Wrestling-Kansas, on ESPN3. The 10 matches will begin at 8 p.m. EST/7 p.m. CST on Saturday, March 5.

    "The association has had a great partnership with ESPN, and we're excited to expand that relationship into the sport of wrestling," said Jim Carr, NAIA President and CEO. "ESPN3 will put our wrestling championships in more homes than ever before, which is great exposure for our student-athletes and institutions. I also want to thank our host partner Visit Topeka for helping make this happen. Each year in Topeka, the organizing committee has worked hard to raise the quality of the student-athlete experience. This is a great example of the many things they've done."

    ESPN3 is ESPN's live multi-screen sports network, a destination that delivers thousands of exclusive sports events annually. It is accessible on computers, smartphones, tablets and connected devices through WatchESPN.
