The team has won 11 Ivy titles, including the first official Ivy League championship in 1956, and three EIWA titles (in 1911, 1941, and 1978). Jimmy Reed was coach from 1934 to 1964.

Clay McEldowney, Class of 1969, chaired the Friends of Princeton Wrestling during the 1990s and distributed the 50th Anniversary materials in 2017.
