This is the first time in history that a MAC program has captured both trophies in back-to-back seasons.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe RedHawks won their second-straight Reese Trophy (and 27th overall) as the top men&#8217;s athletic program in the MAC during the 2025-26 academic year. Miami captured its eighth Jacoby Trophy (and second in a row) as the top MAC women&#8217;s program in 2025-26. The RedHawks also claimed both trophies in 2025, 2019, 1997 and 1983. \u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nDuring the past academic year, Miami competed in six men&#8217;s sports and won the men&#8217;s golf championship while also claiming regular season titles in men&#8217;s basketball and baseball. The RedHawk football team also made it to the MAC Championship title game. Miami&#8217;s Reese score this year marks the highest men&#8217;s score of all time.\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nMiami competed in 10 women&#8217;s sports during the 2025-26 academic year and won the field hockey and women&#8217;s basketball tournament titles and regular season championships.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Winning these awards is a testament to our amazing student-athletes across all our sports, along with our talented coaches and staff that guide them on our mission to Graduate Champions from Miami University&#8221;, said Director of Athletics <a href=\"https:\/\/miamiredhawks.com\/staff-directory\/david-sayler\/179\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"179\" target=\"_blank\">David Sayler<\/a>. &#8220;To win both all sport trophies two years in a row, a feat that has never been done before in the history of the Mid-American Conference, is a tremendous accomplishment for all RedHawks to be proud of. Success like this is not accidental, it is purposeful and comes with tremendous commitment from everyone involved with Miami University &#8211; along with strong support from our donors and fans. Kudos again to our fantastic student-athletes on\u00a0an amazing year, but I want to stress that we are not done and will not rest in our relentless\u00a0pursuit of comprehensive\u00a0excellence.&#8221;<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8220;This is an extraordinary accomplishment for our athletic programs to be awarded the Jacoby and Reese All-Sports Trophies,&#8221; Miami University President Greg Crawford said. &#8220;This marks the second consecutive year our teams have earned this honor, a testament to their hard work, competitive spirit, and unwavering commitment to teamwork. As a student-first institution dedicated to excellence, we are proud of our student-athletes who excel on the field, court, and pitch as well as in the classroom. Our student-athletes exemplify Miami&#8217;s enduring values of love and honor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the Reese Trophy, points are awarded based on each school&#8217;s finish, with the overall total divided by the number of sports sponsored by each school. The men&#8217;s trophy is named for former MAC Commissioner David E. Reese. \u00a0Reese was the first-ever MAC Commissioner and served the conference from its inception in 1946 until 1964.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nFor the Jacoby Trophy, points are awarded based on each school&#8217;s finish, with the overall total divided by the number of sports sponsored by each school. The women&#8217;s trophy is named for former MAC Commissioner Fred Jacoby. \u00a0Jacoby was the MAC Commissioner from 1971-82 and is credited with incorporating women&#8217;s athletics into the conference structure.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2025-26 Final Reese (Men&#8217;s) Final Standings<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nSchool, No. Sports, Points, Avg.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n1.
