It did not take any theatrics this time around. Penn State locked up an NCAA Wrestling title before the medal matches even started Saturday afternoon.

Here are the top three teams after Saturday’s first session which included consolation semifinals, third, fifth, and seventh place matches.

1. Penn State 123.5

2. Ohio State 96.5

3. Oklahoma State 84

Ohio State can not mathematically catch up to Penn State in the final round which gives Penn State fans reason to celebrate early. The win marks Penn State’s eighth national title in nine years.

Two Penn State wrestlers competed in Saturday’s first session. Roman Bravo-Young and Nick Lee finished up their NCAA Tournament performances.

The results are as follows courtesy of Penn State Athletics:
