Volleyball had a perfect score of 1,000, and men’s soccer set a program record with a 959. Of the more high-profile sports, men’s basketball posted a 969 and football a 952.

Five programs set or tied single-year highs. Men’s golf, men’s swimming and diving, volleyball and women’s tennis also recorded 1,000, and the football team had a 983.
