        titles, joining Iowa State University and Oklahoma State University;
Whereas 7 members of the Nittany Lions were named All-Americans at the 2014 NCAA

Whereas junior Nico Megaludis became a 3-time All American, junior Matt Brown 
        became a 2-time All-American, and senior James English, sophomore Morgan

Whereas crucial team points were earned by all 10 Nittany Lions competing in the

        record of 38 wins and 15 losses in championship matches;
Whereas Ed Ruth became the first Penn State University wrestler to win 3 NCAA
