Winning titles for Indian Hills CC were Mya Turnmire (101), Kennedy Shropshire (109), Heaven-Leigh Jackson (116) and Alondra Rosado Martinez (136). Jackson won her second career JCNC title, after claiming the 109-pound championship in 2021. Indian Hills also had three runners-up.
Indian Hills CC scored 164.5 points, ahead of runner-up Umpqua CC with 138 points. Grays Harbor College placed third with 103 points, followed by Iowa Western CC in fourth with 99.5 points, Big Bend CC in fifth with 91 points and Southwestern Oregon CC in sixth with 71.5. All six teams in the national tournament had at least one individual champion.
Runner-up Umpqua CC was led by individual champion Victoria Baez-Dillone (130) and Raina Herzog (235).

Other individual champions were Dallas Gomez of Grays Harbor College (123), Krista Warren of Southwestern Oregon CC (143) and Yarissa Gallo of Iowa Western CC (170). Warren became a two-time JCNC national champion with her victory.

The JCNC dual meet championships will be held on Saturday, with Indian Hills CC also defending their 2021 national title. Competition is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Brackets will be available on TrackWrestling, with a live stream on FloWrestling.
