DII WRESTLING HISTORY
The DII wrestling national championship dates back to 1963, skipping 2020 due to COVID-19, with the first-ever championship trophy going to Western State. Cal State, Cal Poly Bakersfield are tied for second with eight national titles. Central Oklahoma captured its ninth title last season in 2024, making it the winningest team in championship history.

Upper Iowa men's wrestling finished 6th in the Super Region V with 58.5 team points, fueled by five place winners. The day was highlighted by a runner-up finish from Lawson Losee (174) and Ethen Doty (149).
 
Losee won by fall (0:52) in his first match of the day over Grant Moraski (Sioux Falls) before rattling off two wins by decision in the following rounds. The 172-pounder dropped in a 10-5 decision in the championship bout. Doty posted two wins by fall in his first two rounds of the event. He then recorded a slim 1-0 win by decision in the semi-final to send him to the championship match. The 141-pounder came up shy and dropped to Cael Larson (Augustana) in an 11-6 decision.
