Zeroing In on a Hundred

UCLA has set the standard in US collegiate athletics, and are about to be the first team to reach the milestone of 100 team championships.

They were a relative newcomer when they won their first championship in 1950, more than fifty years after Yale won the first NCAA team title. However, since then they have passed up every other school by a wide margin.

"The Bruins are No. 1 in No. 1s and are on the cusp of a milestone.

The women's water polo team notched UCLA's 99th NCAA team title on May 14 — toppling USC in the championship game, no less. Stanford is second with 92 titles, and USC is third with 84, with a huge margin over fourth-place Oklahoma State, which has 47."
