Wayland Baptist is ranked eighth and five Pioneers are slotted in in the top 10 in their respective weight classes in the Women’s Collegiate Wrestling Association college preseason rankings.
Wayland, which finished seventh at WCWA Nationals last year, is ranked between No. 7 University of Cumberlands and No. 9 Missouri Baptist.
Campbellsville (Ky.), last year’s runner-up, takes over the No. 1 ranking going into the new season. Campbellsville was tied with two-time defending WCWA national champion King University (Tenn.) with 107 points, but Campbellsville moved to No. 1 by having the most wrestlers in the individual rankings.
Rounding out the top five teams are No. 3 Oklahoma City, No. 4 Lindenwood (Mo.) and No. 5 Simon Fraser (Canada). Last season, Oklahoma City placed third at the WCWA Nationals, Simon Fraser was fourth and Lindenwood was fifth.
The WCWA has expanded for the new season, with the addition of four new varsity teams. Newcomers Adrian College holds the No. 11 preseason ranking, Lyon University at No. 14, Ferrum at No. 23 and Emmanuel at No. 24.
In individual rankings, the highest-ranked Wayland wrestler is senior Valerie Rosales, who is No. 2 in the 155-pound division. Redshirt senior Tarkyia Mensah is third in 123s, junior Kierra Boyce is fourth in the 191s, sophomore Rizpah Umi is sixth in the 136s, and junior Kristin Navarrete is eighth in the 116s.
Wayland’s season gets under way Oct. 21 when the Pioneers host Warner Pacific (Ore.).
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).
