For the fifth time is six years Penn State wrestling is the national champion.

The Nittany Lions didn’t even have to wait until the tournament finals to claim the NCAA title on Saturday in New York City at Madison Square Garden.

With a loss by wrestlers from Virginia Tech and Oklahoma State, coach Cael Sanderson’s squad mathematically clinched the championship before the final session took place.

The Lions were able to clinch early due largely to the team going a perfect 5-0 in the quarterfinals. The team has five wrestlers competing for individual championships today.

Nico Megaludis (125 pounds), Zain Retherford (149 pounds), Jason Nolf (157 pounds), Bo Nickal (174 pounds) and Morgan McIntosh (197 pounds) will all vie for their weight classes’ titles.

In the a 141-pound consolation bout, the Hokies' Solomon Chishko fell to Rutgers’ Anthony Ashnault, which eliminated Virginia Tech from title contention.

Then as soon as Cowboys’ heavyweight Austin Marsden lost to Ty Walz of Virgina Tech, “We Are” Chants started to break out in “The World's’ Most Famous Arena" as word spread that the Lions had just clinched another title.
