“Given the support of Big 12 events over the years in Kansas City, staging our first neutral site wrestling championship at Sprint Center is a natural fit,” commented Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby.
One hundred student-athletes will compete across 10 weight classes for a chance to be a Big 12 Champion and for automatic berths into the NCAA National Championship tournament. Big 12 programs have a rich history of wrestling success garnering 49 NCAA team titles and crowning 277 individual national champions.
“We are thrilled that the Big 12 Conference chose Kansas City to host the first off-campus Big 12 Wrestling Championships,” said Kathy Nelson, President and CEO of the Kansas City Sports Commission.
In July, the conference announced the addition of six wrestling affiliate members. Air Force, Northern Colorado, North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Utah Valley and Wyoming will join Iowa State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and West Virginia in Kansas City for Big 12 Championship competition.
