The NCAA wrestling is raging in full force as several collegiate wrestling powerhouses are establishing dominance right from the get-go. However, despite the blazing performances of all teams, the Nittany Lions never shy away from asserting its dominance in every NCAA season. 

The Penn State Nittany Lions have been dominating the collegiate wrestling scene for a really long time. A recently uploaded social media post reflected upon the might of Penn State’s wrestling. In fact, the post comes just days after David Taylor made a huge claim about the upcoming Paris Olympics.

The towering reign of Penn State in the NCAA Division 1 Wrestling

The Nittany Lions Wrestling Club (NLWC) has always come out on top season after season and defeated almost every powerhouse team. The strong competitiveness of Penn State also attracts great wrestling talent to the NLWC. Big Ten Wrestling recently reflected on a massive feat Penn State University has achieved via its official X account.

The tweet carried an image that said, “Penn State has won 10 of the last 12 National Championships.” The image displayed several members of Penn State University’s wrestlers along with a picture of the entire team. While a multitude of universities have been making the news for grand victories in duals, the tweet shed light on entire season wipeouts.

Adding further nuance, the tweet’s caption revealed the winners of NCAA championships in the last 12 years. Interestingly, NLWC pulled off a couple of four-peats in their 12-year reign as well. Penn State’s David Taylor had recently made quite a claim regarding the Olympics several days ago. However, this tweet comes up as another backing testament to his claim.

What did David Taylor say about Penn State and the Olympics?

David Taylor is the reigning Olympic gold medalist in the 86kg weight class. In the episode 1 of the No Name Podcast, Taylor said that NLWC can easily mine a lot of gold medals in the Olympics if they simply send the Lions to Paris. He stated, “if we could enter nlwc into the World Championships we could wrestle we could enter NLWC our best 10-man world team from NLWC we win the World Championships. And if we can put our best six-man team in the Olympics we I think we right there winning Olympics.”
