Cyclones win All-Sports trophy
for a three-peat
Moraine Valley has won the Illinois Skyway
Collegiate Conference All-Sports trophy for the 2008-09 sports season—the
college’s third consecutive year receiving this honor.
This trophy recognizes the collective achievements of a college’s sports teams.
Each of the eight colleges in the conference is awarded points based on its
team’s placement at the end of the season. The colleges are then ranked using
total point accumulation. Moraine Valley was one point ahead of second place.
The Cyclones’ golf and men’s and women’s basketball teams each placed first in
conference.
Competition was fierce this season, but the combined effort of athletes, coaches
and staff yielded the award. “It’s really a culmination of everyone in the
Athletics Department. We recruit the best local athletes we can and it’s
showing,” said Moraine Valley Athletics Director Bill Finn. “People will expect
to win, to be in the hunt when they come to Moraine Valley. A three-peat is
great, and it’s getting harder to repeat every year.”
