Penn State jumped out to an early lead on Day 1 and hasn’t looked back.
Last season’s title went to the Buckeyes and that title broke a streak which the Nittany Lions had rolling. From 2011-2014, Penn State wrestling was winners of four consecutive NCAA team titles.
Now, it looks like they are back on track.
