YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — It was another record-setting season in both athletics and academics for Eastern Michigan University student-athletes in 2018-19.
The Eagles finished near the top in the battle for the Mid-American Conference all-sports championships. The women's athletic program turned in a second-place showing in the race for the Jacoby Trophy, while the men's athletic program finished fifth in the battle for the Reese Trophy.
It marked the eighth time in the past 12 years that Eastern Michigan placed inside the top-five spots in both standings. Furthermore, when the averages from both the Reese and Jacoby Trophies are combined, Eastern ranks second in the league behind only Miami University, which won both the awards in 2018-19.
