Flash back to the NCAA College Division champions and medalists of 1963!

It was the very first year for what is now DII and DIII nationals. Prior to 1963, only a single national championship was held for all members of the NCAA.

The championships were hosted at State College of Iowa (now University of Northern Iowa) in Cedar Falls, IA.

Western State (CO) took home the team title, and SIU-Carbondale claimed four champions.

I never even heard of Hiram and I have no idea where "Western State" is - sounds like a made up college for a National Lampoons flick.  And being an IL native, the fact that SIU Carbondale had 3 D1 national champs is pretty damn mind blowing.  

Times have certainly changed in the college wrestling world.

Well SIU Carbondale didn’t have 3 D1 champs…
