New College Weights Approved For Next Season

College wrestling will look different next season. Women's freestyle wrestling has 10 weight classifications ranging from 101 pounds to 191 pounds.

The NCAA Women's Executive Committee approved the weight classes below for use in women's NCAA collegiate wrestling, beginning in the 2024-25 season. 

The NAIA will now put this slate of weight classes forth to its National Administrative Council in the first week of March for its approval.

Most classifications will stay close to the same, but the heaviest three will face significant changes. The biggest adjustment is at 170 pounds. Any current wrestler in that category would move up or down 10 pounds. 

The heaviest category is 207 pounds. The heaviest international weight class is 167 pounds.

Below is a chart with current college weights, new college weights, and current international weights.
