Cael Sanderson and his team clinched the national championship title for the fifth consecutive year on Saturday morning in Session V of the NCAA Championships. This is the Nittany Lions’ 13th national championship title in 15 seasons.
Penn State had six wrestlers advance to the finals and two compete for third place. Eight Penn State wrestlers earned All-American honors.
