The program is one of the oldest sports traditionally played at the University of Houston, as it began in 1946 along with the football program. The team is one of the most successful college programs in history, with 16 team national championships and eight individual national championships. This makes the team the second-most successful team of all time, only behind Yale. The team also holds 20 conference championships, and 44 All-Americans.
