MVC Announces All-Time Track & Field and Cross Country Teams

In 2006-07, the Missouri Valley Conference celebrates a century of excellence as the nation’s second-oldest NCAA Division I conference is in its second centennial as a leader in college athletics. As a part of the Centennial Celebration, The Valley is naming all-centennial teams for each of the Valley’s sponsored sports.

Team composition for each sport has been determined through an on-line fan vote (www.mvc100.org) and by a centennial committee. Fans also designated all-time coaches as part of the on-line voting process. Track & Field holds the ultimate Centennial Celebration distinction as the very first athletic event ever contested in the Missouri Valley Conference, holding the first league championship in May of 1907. Iowa State claimed the initial team championship.

In the league’s first 99 seasons, 32 members combined for 28 national championships, while 55 Valley student-athletes captured NCAA individual titles. In addition, Valley student-athletes and coaches earned 49 National Player or Coach of the Year honors in their respective sports. And the league had a myriad of student-athletes who collected All-America honors and earned national academic distinction in The Valley’s first century.

Track & Field/Cross Country (sponsored 1907 to present): Thirty-one programs have sponsored track & field in conference history. Drake is the longest-tenured member, completing its 95th season in 2006-07. All-time sport sponsors in order of tenure: Drake (1907-08 -- 1950-51; 1956-57 -- present); Tulsa (1934-35 --1995-96); Wichita State (1945-46 -- present); Bradley (1948-49 -- 1950-51; 1955-56 -- present); Creighton (1928-29 -- 1942-43; 1945-46 -- 1947-48; 1976-77-- present); Washington (Mo.)
