Back-to-Back (and Back) Titles
Our By The Numbers looks at title streaks by Wolfpack sports teams over the years.
The women’s cross country team has enjoyed tremendous success the last few years, winning the national championship in 2021, 2022 and again in 2023. The team is also on a streak of eight consecutive ACC championships. The team’s recent championships got us thinking about other winning streaks by NC State teams through the years.

(2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022)
