The University of Jamestown women's wrestling team had three wrestlers compete at the 2024 NAIA Women's Wrestling National Championships, held Friday and Saturday at Harold Newman Arena in Jamestown.

Rayana Sahagun (109 pounds), Allyssa Johnson (155), and Agatha Andrews (191) took to the mats Friday in hopes of finishing their season as an All-American.

Sahagun faced Valeria Ahumada of Siena Heights (Mich.) in the round of 32, and Ahumada came away with an 8-6 victory by decision. After a bye in the first consolation round of 16, Sahagun took on Missouri Valley's Hailey Holland. Holland was the winner by 16-3 tech fall, ending Sahagun's run.

Johnson received a bye in the round of 32, then was matched up against Missouri Valley's Josette Partney in the championship round of 16. With 23 seconds remaining and Partney up 10-6 in the scoring, an injury to Johnson made her unable to continue. Johnson was forced to medically forfeit her consolation round of eight match against Kendra Thompson of Campbellsville (Ky.).

Andrews opened with a 10-0 tech fall loss to Baker (Kan.)'s Jannell Avila in the championship round of 16, but responded with a victory in the second consolation round of 16. Andrews pinned Shan Briggs of Avila (Mo.) in 0:50 to move on to the consolation round of eight. There, Baker's Elisa Robinson emerged victorious, pinning Andrews in 1:08.
