The Brock Badgers swept the men’s and women’s team titles at the 2024 U SPORTS Wrestling Championships, held on Saturday, March 1 in Guelph. The national championship event adopted a one-day format for the 2024 edition, with the University of Guelph serving as host of the U SPORTS Wrestling Championships for the sixth time in school history, and first time since 1999. The Brock Badgers men’s and women’s wrestlers combined to claim 16 medals on the day (8 gold, 6 silver, 2 bronze) en route to securing an 11th national title on the women’s side, and the 22nd national title in program history on the men’s side. For the Brock men, it marked a 9th consecutive U SPORTS title, while the Brock women have now claimed 10 of the last 11 U SPORTS banners.

The University of Alberta finished 2nd in both the men’s and women’s final team standings, while the McMaster men and Saskatchewan women rounded out the podium. In total, 158 student-athletes representing 17 different universities from across the country made their way to the Guelph Gryphons Athletics Centre for a full day of U SPORTS wrestling action. A pair of McMaster Marauders student-athletes swept the Outstanding Wrestler of the Year awards, with Serena Di Bennedetto (gold, women’s 53kg) and Gregor McNeil (gold, men’s 68kg) earning the national honours.
