2022 NCAA champion Roman Bravo-Young (Photo courtesy of Sam Janicki; SJanickiPhoto.com)With another season and national tournament in the books, it also means that another set of data points is available for us media types and fans to interpret. So with that in mind, let's use the 2022 NCAA Championships national champion and All-American data, to look at team performance at the last ten NCAA Tournaments. We've added those champions and All-Americans into the mix to see which schools have produced the most, which states boast the largest number, and which conferences perform the best. This does not include All-American data from 2020, as the tournament was not wrestled and All-American honors were given out by the NWCA. Since the landscape of college wrestling has changed considerably over the last decade, you'll see schools with wrestling teams that no longer exist and conferences that have disbanded.
