2024-25 NCAA Women's College Wrestling Rankings

160 pounds

Notes:

1. With last year’s results taken into account, here’s the first look at this year’s rankings in our preseason edition. It’s important to note that this season has brand new weight classes: 103, 110, 117, 124, 131, 138, 145, 160, 180, 207

2. You’ll see some new names in these rankings, but not unfamiliar names! Olympic silver medalist Kennedy Blades is now on the Iowa roster, along with multiple-time World teamer and five-time age-level medalist Macey Kilty. They’re both ranked at #1 as there’s plenty of Senior level results to warrant entering the college scene at #1.

3. Keep in mind, this list will have a lot of new names as all 2024 graduates are removed. It’s possible some names that have been removed still have eligibility, but that will be corrected next round.

4. Transfers are a massive part of the offseason now that we’re in the day of the NIL and the transfer portal for college athletes. Some significant names you’ll see this year in new singlets are:

#1 at 110 Sage Mortimer (Grand Valley State)

#8 at 117 Kiely Tabaldo, SO (Grand Valley State)

#6 at 124 Nichole Moore, SR (Fort Hays State)

#9 at 131 Skye Realin, JR (Iowa)

#1 at 138 Katie Lange, JR (Grand Valley State)

#9 at 160 Clarissa Agostini, JR (Grand Valley State)

#6 at 180 Tiffani Baublitz, SR (East Stroudsburg)

5. Please note that we do not rank more than two women from the same school, as the rankings reflect the NCAA postseason, where no more than two women are allowed to enter per weight. That said, there were several weights where programs like Iowa, North Central and King had enough rankable candidates for three and sometimes four in the top ten, but we had to remove the lowest-ranked wrestlers.
