I haven't been able to find out a lot about Northwest Missouri State wrestling but I do know that they ruled the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) during the conference's last years of sponsoring wrestling as a sport. The Bearcats won team titles in 1984, 1985 & in MIAA's last year of sponsorship 1986. 1986-1987 was the final year for Bearcat wrestling & no longer having sponsorship from the MIAA had at least something to do with why the program was discontinued.
