Three three-peats, a new record, one inaugural title and one halted streak. That about sums up the 2004-05 Deseret Morning News All-Sports awards.
The award denotes the top overall athletic programs in each of the five classifications.
During a school year in which Mountain View's seven-year reign as champion school was ended by Lone Peak, Davis High finally captured its first coveted All-Sports title in the News' 27th year of the award.
Class 2A's Juan Diego set a new record with 112 points, surpassing Mountain View's 109-point record set in 1998-99. Next year they'll contend with Judge, this year's 3A All-Sports title, as the Soaring Eagle make the jump to 3A.
Judge won its third straight title, and fifth overall. Waterford also won its third straight 1A title, but like Juan Diego, repeating will be difficult as it jumps classifications next year.
Lone Peak won its second overall 4A title, last winning in 2000-01.
Just like last year, every school in Class 4A and 2A scored at least one point. Seven schools didn't record any points.
Schools earn All-Sports points for placing in the top eight positions at state. Ten points are awarded for first, eight for second, six for third, five for fourth, four for fifth, three for sixth, two for seventh and one for eighth. Points are divided when teams tie.
Teams earn points in football, cross country, golf, basketball, wrestling, swimming, baseball, track, soccer, tennis, volleyball and softball.
Brighton, which finished sixth this year in 5A, holds the record with 11 consecutive awards from 1980-1991.
Here's a look at each classification:
CLASS 5A: The race for the award was as tight as its ever been, and was realistically all decided back in November at Rice-Eccles Stadium. That was the night Davis beat Skyline in the 5A semifinals. Those few extra points were enough to help the Darts tally 81 points to edge the Eagles' 75.5.
Davis won state titles in football and boys and girls track, and received points in 15 of the 18 sports.
Skyline finished second, thanks to state titles in boys and girls swimming as well as boys tennis.
CLASS 4A: Lone Peak ended Mountain View's long legacy of All-Sports titles in very convincing fashion. The Knights' 93 points was an incredible 48 more than second-place Timpview. Lone Peak's boys teams alone outscored the rest of 4A with 57 points.
Amazingly, Mountain View finished with 41.5 points.
Lone Peak's boys won state titles in basketball and soccer, while the girls won titles in volleyball and swimming.
The race for second was very tight between Timpview (45), Orem (44), Murray (43), Mountain View (41.5), East (40.5) and Spanish Fork (40).
CLASS 3A: In winning its third straight title, Judge Memorial used another balanced year from its boys (40 points) and girls (38 points) programs to edge Park City 78 to 74. The boys won titles in cross country, swimming and track, while the girls only state championship was in swimming.
Pine View finished third (61), followed by Ogden (54) and Wasatch (37.5).
CLASS 2A: Juan Diego's seven state titles (football, boys and girls cross country, boys basketball, baseball, boys track and girls tennis) was the most by any school in the state this year. To break Mountain View's record of 109 points, Juan Diego got 63 points from the boys and 49 points from the girls.
No classification was more balanced than 2A with all but five schools recording at least 20 points.
Juab finished second (52.5), followed by Manti (47.5) and Richfield (46.5).
CLASS 1A: Waterford departs 1A as three-time champs thanks to its 71 points, and Panguitch is probably glad to see the Ravens go. Prior to Waterford's All-Sports run, Panguitch had won five straight titles.
Waterford won state championships in baseball, boys tennis and girls cross country.
Panguitch finished second with 59 points.
St. Joseph (36.5) finished third, with Duchesne (31.5) in fourth and Piute (30.5) in fifth.
