Boise State Tied With Stanford and Louisville for Most Conference Championships

With its third, fourth and fifth conference championships that were won last weekend, Boise State is now tied with Stanford and Louisville for the most major college conference titles in the nation this school year (5).

Boise State captured Western Athletic Conference trophies in swimming & diving and men's indoor track & field and won the Pac-10 wrestling championship last weekend.  The achievements mark the first time in school history that the Broncos won three conference championships in the same weekend.  That brings Boise State's total to five this school year.  Last fall, the Broncos were the co-champions in football and won the WAC cross country title.

Stanford started the year with championships in men's and women's cross country, won the Pac-10 women's soccer title  and was co-champion in women's volleyball.  The Cardinal added a conference championship in women's swimming & diving last weekend.  Louisville has won Big East Conference championships in volleyball and both men's and women's swimming & diving and women's indoor track and shared the title in men's soccer. Florida is in third place with four conference championships while BYU, Michigan, Middle Tennessee and Syracuse have three each.
