Having 3/5ths of your team wrestling for national championships is insane. If PSU goes 6-6 tomorrow (and I think they might), this team will set records that will never be matched.

Watched it. Now 11 NCAA Team Championships over the past 13 years.

Starocci a class act, for those who follow this stuff!

The Oklahoma State Cowboys have won more NCAA team championships than any other school, with 34 titles (including 3 unofficial), the most recent being won in 2006. Ed Gallagher coached the Cowboys to their first title in 1928 and won 11 in 13 years from 1928 through 1940.

Iowa has won the second most team titles with 24 NCAA titles. Under head coach Dan Gable, Iowa had the longest streak of consecutive titles at nine from 1978 through 1986. Penn State has won 12 titles, Iowa State has won eight titles, and Oklahoma has won seven championships. Only seven other schools have won a team title, with none of those schools having won more than three championships.

Since 2011, Penn State under head coach Cael Sanderson has won 11 NCAA team titles. Only the 2001 Minnesota Golden Gophers have finished the NCAA Tournament with an All-American at every weight class, and famously won the team championship despite not having a single finalist.

Cael Sanderson has put together some of the greatest teams in history.

It also seems they are a very spiritual group of wrestlers.

Brooks and Starocci went to shake Trumps hand at the Nationals last year when they won. Trump was in the stands.
