NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships


The NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships for individuals and teams were first officially sponsored in 1963 and have since been held annually.
The NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships is a double-elimination tournament for individuals competing in ten weight classes. Sixteen wrestlers in each class qualify through four "Super Regional" tournaments. During the championships, individual match winners earn points based on the level and quality of the victory, which are totaled to determine the team championship standings.
In addition to determining the national championship, the NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships also determine the Division II All-America team. The top eight finishers in each weight class qualify for Division II All-American status.
On March 13, 2020, the NCAA cancelled all of its 2020 wrestling championships due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Division II wrestlers to Division I championships

Sources
Through 1989, the Division II finalists advanced to the Division I championships, held the following week, where many athletes earned All-American recognition in two divisions during the same season. This practice was discontinued after Carlton Haselrig of the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown won the Division II heavyweight title and advanced to Division I, where he also won the heavyweight title three years in a row, 1987–89.
