American Rivers Conference - Wrestling

The American Rivers Conference administers NCAA Division III men’s and women’s wrestling. Men’s conference competition is decided through the dual-meet season and leads to NCAA Division III Region VI qualification, while the women’s championship awards team honors and medals to the top three finishers in each weight class before NCAA National Collegiate qualification. Wartburg won its 43rd men’s A-R-C title in 2026 with an 8–0 conference dual record, then captured the Region VI title; 29 A-R-C men qualified for the NCAA Division III Championship and 16 earned All-America honors. Wartburg also won its second women’s A-R-C title, and the conference sent 11 women to the inaugural NCAA National Collegiate Championship, where five earned All-American recognition.
