6 colleges in the state sponsor women's wrestling, from the directory we built off each school's own athletics staff page.

Past the state final

The careers we have written down start where you are: a state tournament, then a college room, then for a few of them a national team. The colleges above are the next door; the directory has the coach's published contact for most of them.

One rule worth knowing before the series: a girl's legal minimum weight is built on the 19 percent body fat floor, not the boys' 7 percent. How making weight works covers the certification and what your state enforces at the scale, and the weight classes lists every set by level.
