Suggested first step: Email head coach Chris Freije at cfreije@nmhu.edu directly with weight class, GPA, transcript and competition video, since NMHU publishes no online questionnaire; the athletics mailing address is New Mexico Highlands Athletics, P.O. Box 9000, Las Vegas, NM 87701.
Women's wrestling: No

35 wrestlers listed on the 2025-26 roster · per-weight counts not published by the school · Wrestling competitiveness: Moderate

Counted from the 2025-26 roster. We recount when New Mexico Highlands's 2026-27 roster goes up, and the change log shows it.

The roster carried 35 wrestlers in 2025-26 but only one national qualifier - how many of those 35 actually wrestled varsity duals, and how is the room split between the competing lineup and developmental wrestlers?
NMHU went 0-6 in RMAC duals in 2025-26 and 0-7 in 2024-25 against Adams State, Colorado Mesa, Chadron State, Western Colorado, CSU Pueblo and Mines - what is the plan to close that gap, and which weights are you targeting to do it?
