FARMINGTON, Utah (June 8, 2023) – After another outstanding year in Bozeman, the Montana State Bobcats have been named the recipients of the 2022-23 Big Sky Conference Men's All-Sports Trophy, the league office announced on Thursday.
The Men’s All-Sports Trophy win for Montana State marks the seventh all-time for the Bobcats and is the second straight for the athletic program. Last season's win for MSU snapped an eight-year winning streak by Northern Arizona for the award.
The Bobcats were paced by their football team in 2022-23, who were co-champions alongside Sacramento State this past fall. Montana State also finished second in the league for basketball and posted second-place finishes in cross country and indoor track & field.
The Men's All-Sports Trophy standings are determined by a formula that takes into account each school’s regular-season finish or conference tournament/championship result for all conference-sponsored sports the institution offers. Basketball, football and tennis awards points based on regular-season finishes, while points for track & field, cross country and golf are awarded based on conference tournament/championship results. Indoor and outdoor track & field points are averaged to create one score for track & field.
