The NCAA Division III Championships Committee has approved the regional alignment for the 2017-2018 season. It accepted the proposal sent by the Wrestling Committee that was published here in July. All six regions have either 17 or 18 teams in order to accommodate the 104 teams set to compete this season in Division III. That number is set to increase by at least three next year as two teams are already adding the sport and one will be completing its transition into Division III. The new region names are the Upper Midwest, Lower Midwest, Central, Southeast, Mideast, and Northeast.
