UW-Eau Claire and UW-Whitewater Claim All-Sports Awards
Madison, Wis.--University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and UW-Whitewater have claimed the 2007-08 Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) All-Sports Awards. UW-Eau Claire won the women’s award, while UW-Whitewater secured the men’s plaque and the combined trophy.
The women’s award for the Blugolds is their second straight and eighth in school history. UW-Eau Claire won women’s conference championships in basketball, cross country and soccer.
The Warhawks’ men’s trophy is the eighth in school archives, while the combined honor is the first for the institution. UW-Whitewater earned league titles in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, football, softball, women’s tennis and women’s volleyball.
The three All-Sports Awards are given annually by the conference. Points for the awards 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.
