🥇 Penn State Wrestling Makes History: Nittany Lions Capture Record 13th NCAA Title with Unbelievable Point Total

KANSAS CITY, MO — In a display that redefined domination, Penn State Wrestling captured its 13th NCAA Team National Championship — and shattered records in the process. The Nittany Lions racked up a mind-blowing 177 team points, surpassing their own previous record and sending a thunderous message to the rest of the wrestling world: this dynasty isn’t slowing down.

Under the guidance of legendary head coach Cael Sanderson, Penn State put together a near-perfect national tournament performance. With five individual national champions and nine All-Americans, the Lions were untouchable from start to finish — outscoring runner-up Iowa by a staggering 60 points.

“This is what happens when you build a culture, not just a team,” Sanderson said. “Our guys believe in each other, they fight for each other, and they rise together.”

Stars like Carter Starocci (174 lbs), Aaron Brooks (197 lbs), and Beau Bartlett (141 lbs) continued their reign of terror on the mats, while rising talents like Shayne Van Ness and Levi Haines delivered crucial upsets and bonus-point victories. Every wrestler who stepped on the mat contributed to the Lions’ historic run.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the consistency of Penn State’s success. Over the last 14 NCAA tournaments, the Lions have won 13 national titles — a feat unmatched in modern college wrestling history.

Wrestling fans and analysts were left in awe, with many calling it the “most dominant team performance ever witnessed.”

As trophies were lifted and medals hung, one thing was clear: Penn State Wrestling is more than a program — it’s a powerhouse that keeps rewriting the history books.

The throne isn’t just theirs. They built it. 👑🦁
