Year of the Tigers

The 2000-01 athletic season could be termed another "Year of the Tigers":

• Princeton finished 24th in the Sears Directors' Cup Division I standings, which recognize the nation's top collegiate athletic programs.

• Two teams won national championships (men's lacrosse, women's lightweight crew); the University has produced at least one team national champion for 15 straight seasons.

• Three individuals won national championships (squash's David Yik and Julia Beaver and fencing's Soren Thompson).

• 14 teams were Ivy League champions, tying the league record for most in a school year, set one year earlier by Princeton.

• Princeton established a four-year league record for Ivy championships with 50.

• A total of 33 Tigers won All-America honors, up from 22 the previous year.

• Princeton won the unofficial Ivy League all-sports points standings for the 15th straight year.
