Four returning WCWA national champions sit at No. 1 going into the new season: junior Cody Pfau of Oklahoma City at 109, sophomore Kayla Miracle of Campbellsville at 136, senior Victoria Francis of Lindenwood at 170 and junior Tiara Scott of Campbellsville at 191.


Campbellsville has the most No. 1 preseason ranked wrestlers with four, Miracle, Scott, junior Rosemary Flores at 130 and junior Hanna Hall at 155.


King has three No. 1 athletes in the preseason: sophomore Marina Doi at 101, junior Hanna Grisewood at 123 and junior Forrest Molinari at 143.


The other No. 1 wrestler is Lindenwood’s Diaysha Moore at 116.


The WCWA competition season begins in early October, as teams begin their tournament and dual meet seasons.


The 2016 WCWA Nationals will be held Feb. 12-13 at Oklahoma City University. Women’s college national titles have been held since 2004 and only five teams have won national team titles: Oklahoma City (4), University of the Cumberlands (3), Missouri Valley College (2), King University (2) and Simon Fraser (1).
