Stanford has a history of producing All-American wrestlers that dates back more than five decades. In 1967, sophomore teammates Len Borchers '69 and Terry Crenshaw '69 finished fourth nationally in their respective weight classes and became the school's first All-Americans. Since then, 14 more Cardinal wrestlers have accomplished that feat, and the program now boasts 16 All-Americans with 23 combined awards.  

Much of Stanford's success has come in recent years, as the program has racked up 13 All-America finishes since 1999. In 2004, junior Matt Gentry completed a perfect 42-0 season and became the school's first NCAA Champion, claiming the 157-pound title in St. Louis, Mo. In 2007, juniors Tanner Gardner and Josh Zupancic became the first Stanford duo to earn All-America honors in the same season since Borchers and Crenshaw, and Gardner joined Chris Horpel '75 as the school's only two-time All-Americans at the time. 

In 2008, Gardner continued his run, becoming the first three-time All-American in school history with a fifth-place finish at 125 pounds. Zupancic finished sixth at 157 pounds, joining Gardner and Horpel as the only Stanford wrestlers to earn multiple All-America honors. Nick Amuchastegui, then a sophomore, became the program's 14th All-American in 2010 after placing fourth at 165 pounds at the 2010 NCAA Championships in Omaha, Neb. 

In 2011, three Cardinal wrestlers earned All-America honors for the first time in school history, also marking the fourth time in program history and the third time in three years that Stanford produced multiple All-Americans in the same season. Amuchastegui added a second-place finish at 174 pounds to become Stanford's fourth repeat All-American and just the second Cardinal to advance to the NCAA finals. Sophomore Ryan Mango and senior Zack Giesen finished sixth in their respective weight classes to become Stanford's 15th and 16th All-Americans. 

In 2012, Amuchastegui capped off his storied career with his second consecutive runner-up finish at the NCAA Championships in St. Louis, Mo. He became the only Cardinal wrestler to reach the NCAA finals on multiple occasions and joined Gardner as the only three-time All-Americans in school history. Mango secured a fifth-place finish at the championships to become just the fifth Cardinal wrestler to earn multiple All-America honors.
