SDSU Wins Summit League Men's All Sports Championship

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The Summit League awarded South Dakota State with its sixth Dr. William Steinbrecher Men’s All-Sports Award Tuesday. Conference titles from cross country, indoor track and field and men’s basketball carried the Jackrabbits in the men’s all-sports race, while baseball and outdoor track and field finished second in their respective sports. Programs are awarded points in relation to their final regular season or conference meet finishes, and with 41.5 points, the Jackrabbit men claimed the trophy with a double-digit victory. Regular season titles for women’s soccer and women’s basketball helped the Jackrabbits towards a third-place finish in the Dr. Helen Smiley Women’s All-Sports Award race, and South Dakota State narrowly missed their sixth Commissioner’s Cup – a combined men’s and women’s competition. The Jackrabbits were one-point shy of topping South Dakota for the overall trophy, finishing with 89 points.
