2025 NCWWC Region 1 championships brackets and results (TrackWrestling.com)
NOTE: In each weight class, the top four wrestlers from the regional tournaments will secure their places in the NCWWC national championship tournament.
A wrestle-off will be conducted to determine a true fourth-place finisher if the fourth and fifth-place wrestlers did not have the opportunity to compete against each other during the tournament. In the rare scenario that they faced off twice, the outcome of their last match will determine the rightful fourth-place finisher.
