Doane University Tops GPAC 2025-26 Men’s Wrestling Preseason Poll

(Sioux City, Iowa) –Doane University totaled 211 points in the preseason poll and is picked to win the 2025-26 Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) Men's Wrestling Championship.  The Tigers won the GPAC regular season and tournament titles last year.

Morningside is picked second this year with 146 points, while Concordia is third with 135.  

The poll, compiled by the NAIA, was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each conference. The highest and lowest ranking for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) is removed and the team's ranking is recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot.

The 2026 GPAC Men's Wresting Championship will be on February 20-21 at Northwestern.  GPAC men's wrestling will also have regular season duals this year, with duals days scheduled for November 25 at Morningside and February 7 at Doane.  Each member school will wrestle in a single round robin with a regular season champion crowned in conjunction with the tournament title.
