The athletic program at Grand Valley State University has had
astounding success.
For the sixth year in a row,
the Lakers won the Learfield Sports Director's Cup
for NCAA Division II.
That means the Lakers have the best program in the nation.
Grand Valley teams didn't win a single individual championship.
But what they did was have high showings across the board.
In the 08-09 academic year, the Lakers placed a total
of 18 teams in postseason play,
eleven of the teams finished in the top 10.
Strong showings came from women's cross- country,
indoor track and field, golf, and volleyball.
The men were strong in cross- country, football,
baseball and swimming.
These students are winners in the classroom as well.
The recruiting and practices are going on strong.
It takes a lot of hard work to stay on top.
