Five-peat! Penn State wrestling wins 2026 NCAA national championship
Penn State wrestling is coming home form the NCAA championships with the 14th team title in program history, and 13th under Cael Sanderson.
Even as time flies by, some things remain the same. For the fifth straight year, Penn State wrestling will add a national championship trophy to its collection. A dominant showing in the consolation rounds by freshmen PJ Duke and Marcus Blaze helped Penn State's team clinch this year's NCAA wrestling national championship.
This is Penn State's 13th national championship in the past 16 years (there was no championship tournament in 2020) and head coach Cael Sanderson has led Penn State in each. In doing so, Sanderson is now second in NCAA all-time history with 13 head coaching titles, bringing him two shy of the all-time record. 👋 Hello!!
