One of the best ways to measure Penn State’s recent run of wrestling success is to look at the walls inside the Joyner Wrestling Room.

Pictures hang for every national champion wrestler. Howard Johnston was the first, winning at 165 pounds in 1935. Joe Lemyre joined him 17 years later at 167 pounds. Through the 2009-10 season, 18 Nittany Lion wrestlers won a combined 21 national titles.

Lately, though, the amount of wall space has shrunk considerably.
