If you think it's been mostly an All-Pac-10 act this season when it comes to NCAA titles, you're right. As the league has just annouced, the Pac-10 has moved into "record territory'' this year with 13 NCAA titles already and another three yet to be determined. That's one short of the all-time mark of 14 set by the Pac-10 in 1996-1997 and gives the league 41 percent of this year's 32 titles. No other league has more than five. Here's the complete release: PAC-10 ENTERING HISTORIC TERRITORY WITH 13 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--Pacific-10 Conference institutions have won a remarkable 13 NCAA team championships during the 2007-08 academic year. That total is the second-highest ever for a conference and just one title shy of the all-time record of 14, which the Pac-10 achieved in 1996-97. With three NCAA Championships still to be decided (baseball and men's and women's track & field), the Pac-10 has the opportunity to equal or surpass that mark.
The Pac-10 leads all conferences in both men's and women's team titles this year, with the dominance on the women's side particularly noteworthy. Pac-10 men's teams have won five titles, with the Big Ten next with three. Pac-10 women's teams have landed eight NCAA crowns with no other conference claiming more than two. Following are the NCAA team championships won thus far in 2007-08 by the "Conference of Champions": Arizona: Men's Swimming, Women's Swimming Arizona State: Softball, Men's Indoor Track & Field, Women's Indoor Track & Field California: Men's Water Polo Oregon: Men's Cross Country Stanford: Women's Cross Country UCLA: Men's Golf, Women's Tennis, Women's Water Polo USC: Women's Golf, Women's Soccer |
