UW-Oshkosh and UW-Whitewater Claim All-Sports Awards
Madison,
Wis.--The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) has
announced the recipients of its three All-Sports Awards for the 2005-06
academic year. UW-Oshkosh won the combined award and women's award,
while UW-Whitewater secured the men's trophy.
The combined award for the Titans is the second in school history (2006, 1999), while the women's prize is the eighth in school archives (2006, 2004, 2002, 2001, 1999, 1996, 1992, 1991). UW-Oshkosh won conference championships in women's basketball, women's volleyball and women's indoor and outdoor track and field, while adding second-place finishes in men's cross country, baseball, women's golf, women's soccer and women's softball.
UW-Whitewater's men's award is the seventh in school history (2006, 2004, 1991, 1989, 1988, 1986, 1985). The Warhawks secured men's titles in baseball, basketball and football and added second-place standings in indoor and outdoor track and field.
The All-Sports Award is given annually by the conference. Points for the award are given according to the final conference standings in each sport on a 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis, or 8-7-6, etc., depending on how many schools compete in each sport. Either (but not both) indoor or outdoor track and field are included in the calculations and the awards are determined on the basis of the lowest number of sports offered by any WIAC institution in each category.
