Three-time defending national champ Penn State claimed its fourth consecutive crown, and eighth in the last nine years, Saturday afternoon at the 2019 NCAA Wrestling Championships.
The Nittany Lions were so dominant that they clinched the team crown, the Big Ten's 13th straight, by the way, before the event's individual finals.
Here's a look at the Big Ten's recent run of national champions:
2007: Minnesota
