1, 2, 3: PSU claims third consecutive NCAA title

Eying its third consecutive NCAA wrestling crown, Penn State's Ed Ruth and Quentin Wright delivered Saturday night in Des Moines, Iowa.

Ruth claimed the 184-pound title to give Wright the opportunity to clinch the team crown with a victory in the 197-pound class. And Wright didn't disappoint, taking the individual title to seal his perfect season (32-0) and the Nittany Lions' third consecutive national championship.

The performance caps another dominating year for Penn State, which also won its third straight Big Ten Championships earlier this month.
