MIAC ALL-SPORTS/DURENBERGER TROPHY

A traveling All-Sports Trophy is awarded to the college that accumulates the best all-sports record during the MIAC academic year. The MIAC All-Sports trophies had its beginnings in the 1963-64 school year, when Bob Schabert, who, at the time, covered the MIAC for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, began determining men's all-sports results. The current men's trophy, named in honor of long-time athletic director George Durenberger '28, was donated by Saint John's University beginning in the 1972-73 school year. Prior to the 2003-04 season, the determination of the All-Sports trophy was altered slightly. First place points are now determined by the number of teams participating in that sport. Second place, third place, etc., receive points in a descending order, based on the first place point total. Prior to this change, determination of the recipients of the All-Sports trophies was calculated as follows: Men - 11 points will be awarded for first place, 10 for second, nine for third, etc. Women - 12 points for first, 11 for second, etc.

Academic Years Won: 14 (1968-69, 1971-72, 1975-76, 1976-77, 1977-78, 1989-90, 1996-97, 1998-99, 1999-2000, 2000-01, 2001-02, 2002-03, 2005-06, 2006-07)
