CLEVELAND -- Wittenberg posted top-five finishes in 18 of 22 sports on the way to its second North Coast Athletic Conference All-Sports Championship. The Tigers opened the year with outright championships in football and volleyball and a shared title with Wooster in field hockey. Wittenberg then rolled through the winter season with top-five finishes in all six winter sports, including first-place in women's basketball. The Tigers capped the year with a strong spring performance, earning championships in golf and men's lacrosse (shared with Ohio Wesleyan) and five additional top-five finishes to compile a year-long total of 156.5 points. Wittenberg also won the All-Sports crown in 1995-96.

Ohio Wesleyan, fourth after both the fall and winter seasons, totalled 154.5 points to earn a second-place final standing. The Battling Bishops turned in eight top-five spring finishes, and 16 overall, including the men's and women's outdoor track & field championships and shared titles in men's lacrosse and softball (with Denison). Denison (151.5) finished third, followed by Allegheny (143.5) and Wooster (134.0) in fourth and fifth, respectively. Kenyon (127.5), Oberlin (117.5), Wabash (79.5), Earlham (50.0) and Hiram (49.5) rounded out positions six through 10.

Wittenberg's championship campaign was highlighted by six NCAC titles. The Tigers also picked up two second-place finishes throughout the year to cement their All-Sports win. They improve their position in the final standings from last year by two spots, jumping from third to first. Earlham improved one spot to ninth, in its final year of NCAC membership.

The All-Sports champion earns the Dennis M. Collins Award, given annually to the school that performs the best across the NCAC's 22 sports. Ten points are awarded for a first-place finish, nine for a second, eight for a third, and so on. Men's and women's performances are combined, exemplifying the North Coast's commitment to equity and balance among programs. Wooster won three of the first four All-Sports championships, interrupted only by Denison in year two. Ohio Wesleyan followed with a six-year run leading to titles by Wooster (twice), Wittenberg (once), Denison (nine), OWU (twice) and finally the tie between Ohio Wesleyan and Denison last spring.

Ohio Wesleyan leads the way with 125 team championships during the NCAC's 26 playing seasons. Denison is next with 109 titles, followed by Allegheny (104), Kenyon (95), Wooster (70) and Wittenberg (68).
