Suggested first step: Submit the wrestling recruit form, then email head coach David Shapiro at drs202@case.edu with your weight class and academic profile; 285 is the one weight with nobody listed on the 2025-26 roster, and CWRU's admission rate is 36.5%, so transcripts and test scores matter as much as results.
Women's wrestling: No

1 crowded weight · 1 lighter weight on the 2025-26 roster (25 listed) · Wrestling competitiveness: Strong
