I can't believe it's taken over five minutes for someone to answer.

And...it's gone.

Oklahoma was close in 1982.  They had three individual champions and a runner-up.  "Dr. Death" Steve Williams lost in the heavyweight title match to Bruce Baumgardner 4 - 2.  The Schultz brothers and Andre Metzger claimed titles for the Sooners.  However, the Sooners finished 3rd in the team standings that year behind Iowa and Iowa State.

Cornell in 2012 had three NCAA champions (Dake, Simaz, Bozak) and finished 4th.

this should be fun.  
 

Yes.  By 14.5 points.    Maybe it’s why they recruited over two of their starters who underperformed at NCAAs that year?   One lost to the 33 seed in the round of 12 no ?

Penn State seems to be almost locked in to a four year rinse and repeat cycle since 2010-11:

4 championships in a row (starting 2010-11)

Then "punt" (6th)

4 championships in a row (starting 2015-16)

Then "punt" ... sort of (2nd)

3 championships in a row (starting 2021-22)

.... and likely the 4th championship this season (2024-25)

Technically Berge did lose to Wyatt Sheets in the round of 12, famously the "34th seed", but Berge had to MFF the match (got a concussion in the quarters if I remember correctly).

you do remember correctly, though I think it was a knee rather than a concussion
