For the second consecutive year De Anza College won the Coast Conference All Sports Trophy beating 16 Bay Area community colleges last year. "We have many new coaches and have been aggressively recruiting top level players from local high schools, which has a direct correlation to our success," said Kulwant Singh, college athletics director. To win the All Sports Trophy, a college must have accumulated the most placement-points by the end of the sports year. Since most sports have different point scales, all athletic teams are scored by first, second and third place rankings. The Don's accumulated 141 points edging out West Valley's second place score of 133.3. Singh said that the All Sports Trophy shows the overall excellence of De Anza's athletic program. "Our strongest teams last year were Men and Woman's Cross-Country, Woman's Tennis and Track & Field," he said. Unfortunately, if you wish to view the physical trophy, you are out of luck. The accolade has been missing for years. However, although De Anza can not house the award, Singh said "it is a sense of pride for staff and student athletes."
