Championships
Iowa State has won thirteen NCAA National Team Championships in three sports. By far Iowa State's most successful sport is Wrestling, which in spite having not won a national title for over twenty year, has continued to remain a contender for the national title. In Wrestling, Iowa State has finished as runners up for the National title numerous times, their last being in 2007.
Despite Iowa State's success in Wrestling, their most resent NCAA National Team Championship was in Men's Cross Country in 1994. Iowa State is not known as a national powerhouse in Cross Country, however, it is not unusual for the ISU Cross Country team to make into the NCAA tournament.
Probably the more unusual titles that Iowa State has won is in Men's Gymnastics. A highly successful period of Men's Gymnastics, led ISU to 3 national titles in 4 years. Men's gymnastics is no longer a sport sponsored by Iowa State.
