The Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs wrestling team represents Gardner-Webb University as an Associate Member of the Southern Conference of NCAA Division I wrestling (G-W's primary conference, the Big South Conference, does not sponsor wrestling).[1]

History

The Gardner-Webb wrestling program was started as an NAIA program in 1989-90 by Richard Wince, who headed the program through 2007 and again from 2009 through 2012, moving to the NCAA's Division I in 1990. In 2012, as the program joined the Southern Conference, Wince was succeeded by his associate head coach and former student, Daniel Elliott.[2] Elliott was named the 2015 SoCon Co-Coach of the Year.

Since moving to Division I, fourteen G-W wrestlers have qualified for twenty appearances in the NCAA National Tournament.[3]
