109: Samantha Miller (Mount Olive) vs Ivy Threatful (Simon Fraser)

Miller was a three-time All-American at Presbyterian before transferring to Mount Olive in the off-season. She tried her hand at 101 to start the season before bumping up to 109. Her fall in the regional finals shows she’s capable of success at her new weight. The Trojan star has a tough first-round test against Simon Fraser’s Ivy Threatful. 

109: Jaslynn Gallegos (North Central) vs Consuelo Garcia (McKendree)

Gallegos is competing this season at 109 pounds after winning the 116-pound title last year. Garcia was a late addition to the line-up and only has one loss on the season. North Central and McKendree are in the team race, so every win is important. 

116: Julia Vidallon (McKendree) vs Emily Klein (East Stroudsburg)

Vidallon won a WCWC title for Life University in 2020, while Klein was a sixth-place finisher at the 2023 National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling Championships. 

130: Emily Frost (Iowa) vs Sara Sterner (North Central)

This is the biggest match of the opening round since Iowa and North Central are expected to be in a tight team race. North Central has two wrestlers at this weight and Iowa only has one, so this could be a big opportunity for both teams to score and possibly prevent points. 

130: Salome Walker (North Central) vs Lily Sherer (Lock Haven)

Two returning All-Americans go head-to-head in the opening round. Both finished eighth at the national championships last year at different weights. 

170: Jade Herzer (Wisconsin-Stevens Point) vs Love Daley (Sacred Heart)

Herzer is a returning 2022 All-American at 155, while Daley has had an impressive freshman campaign. Both are capable of reaching the podium in 2024.
