2023-24 Pound-For-Pound Women's College Rankings

2023-24 Pound-For-Pound Women's College Rankings

The college season is underway with Iowa programs occupying five of the top 10 spots in the women’s college pound-for-pound rankings. William Penn’s Adaugo Nwachukwu retains her #1 spot while her teammate Mia Palumbo is #10.

Iowa has eight wrestlers in the top 25 and three in the top 10, which is the most of any school. 

Those who have competed in at least one sanctioned college match are eligible to be ranked, which is why several top names with eligibility are not included. Off-season results factor into this ranking since women’s college wrestling uses freestyle rules. 

This is a collaboration between FloWrestling and American Women’s Wrestling.
