The NAIA National Wrestling Tournament is very unique. It is the only collegiate national championship that allows wrestlers to compete against each other. Cumberland University entered two wrestlers at the 149 weight class and the 184 weight class in the NAIA National Championships. Both of Cumberland's All-Americans came at the 149 weight class. The two wrestlers' per weight uniqueness helped the Bulldogs place 16th, which will ensure them an invitation to the NAIA National Duals in 2008.

The 50th annual NAIA National Wrestling Tournament in the Tyson Events Center (Sioux City, Iowa) brought home All-Americans Corey Bleaken (3rd place) and Theo Dotson (8th place) for Cumberland University.
