They have also won 13 NWCA National Duals titles.

This page is exclusive to Wartburg men's wrestling. The school announced the addition of women's wrestling in 2021, with varsity competition originally set to start in 2022–23 but delayed to 2023–24. At the time, women's wrestling was part of the NCAA Emerging Sports for Women program; it became an official NCAA championship sport in 2025–26.
