For only the third time since 2000, the University of Tennessee Athletics Department finished second in the USA Today SEC All-Sports title race. The Vols and Lady Vols ranked second to Texas, ending Tennessee’s record-setting three-year streak as the top overall athletic program in the conference.
Tennessee claimed its first three SEC All-Sports titles for the 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24 academic years. The Big Orange became only the second school in league history to win three consecutive titles, following Florida.
“Although we are disappointed not to have won our fourth straight SEC All-Sports title, finishing as runner-up in the largest and most competitive league in the country is still a remarkable testament to the strength of our athletic department,” said Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Danny White.
The champion is determined based on a points system devised by the USA Today Network that rewards the highest points total based on the number of teams per sport competing for conference regular season championships.
Texas captured the top spot with 179.75 points, followed by Tennessee (149.5), Texas A&M (148.25) and Florida (148).
The second-place finish solidifies Tennessee’s most successful four-year run in the history of the SEC All-Sports title race.
