With
its 28-10 win over No. 15 Wisconsin on Sunday afternoon, No. 3 Iowa

regular season conference title marks the sixth in the past seven years
for the Hawkeyes. Iowa, Minnesota and Penn State each ended the Big Ten
dual meet season with matching 7-1 marks to share the title.
The

Lions have won each of the last eight Big Ten Championships, including
the last three titles for Penn State in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Iowa was
victorious in the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Big Ten Championships and leads
all schools with 34 titles, while Minnesota won the title in 2006 and
