    NCAA DI Champions Since 2000

    On Thursday morning, 330 wrestlers entered the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City with the goal of being a national champion. After the final match was wrestled on Saturday night, only ten wrestlers were left standing without a loss and declared champions. They'll get to add their name to the very exclusive list of NCAA champions. Below we've added the 2024 champions into the list of wrestlers who have won national titles since the year 2000.

    And Cornell, with far more restrictive eligibility requirements as part of Ivy League finishes 2nd in a year with many 5-time all Americans, with the extra year of eligibility given to everyone outside the Ivy League which doesn’t even allow redshirting and forbids graduate students from eligibility.
