Penn State is favored to claim another team title and Cornell's Yianni Diakomihalis and Iowa's Spencer Lee are seeking their fourth national titles at the NCAA Division I wrestling championships. The championships start Thursday in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Penn State has won nine titles in the past 11 years, and all of them all under coach Cael Sanderson. Roman Bravo-Young, Carter Starocci, Aaron Brooks, Greg Kerkvliet and Levi Haines lead a confident Penn State squad. If Diakomihalis wins at 149 pounds or Lee wins at 125 pounds, they will join just four wrestlers who have claimed four Division I national titles all time.
