INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Indianapolis has earned its 12th consecutive Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) All-Sports Trophy, the league office announced on Monday. The Greyhounds totaled 199.5 points during the 2023-24 academic year, winning by 18.5 points over second-place Lewis University.
The trophy is UIndy’s 15th in program history, with wins in the 1978-79, 1994-95, and 2002-03 seasons, as well as the past 12, dating back to 2011-12. The GLVC did not award the All-Sports Trophy in 2019-20 due to the COVID-19 pandemic that suspended spring sports competition that year.
The GLVC All-Sports Trophy is presented to the institution that demonstrates the best all-around performance in the league’s 24 sponsored sports. Points are allocated based on overall finish in the respective sport’s Conference tournament and league standings.
UIndy captured a league-high eight GLVC titles this season to earn top points in men’s soccer, football, men’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s golf, as well as men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s lacrosse. In addition, the UIndy women finished runner-up in swimming and softball.
The All-Sports Trophy was first instituted in the GLVC during the 1978-79 season with seven different institutions having claimed the award.
