The GMC All-Sports Trophy will continue to rest in the Mason awards case next year as the Comets have earned the right to own the league hardware for the seventh consecutive season. Mason has won the annual Conference award, which recognizes the overall success of all GMC sports, each year since joining the league in 2007-08. Similar to last year, Mason (222.8 points) out distanced their nearest competitor by a whopping 50+ point margin (Lakota West 170.8 points). Sycamore was third overall with 160 points.
During the 2013-14 school year, Mason won or shared conference championships in 14 of the 24 GMC team sports that are offered by the league. They included 11 outright titles in Cross Country (boys/girls), Girls Golf, Boys Soccer, Girls Tennis, Chess, Swimming (boys/girls), Wrestling, and Track and Field (boys/girls). Mason shared team titles in Girls Soccer, Girls Volleyball, and Softball. Five other Comet teams placed second overall in league standings; Academic, Girl’s Basketball, Baseball, Boy’s Tennis and Boy’s Volleyball. In 2012-13 the school broke a 47-year GMC record winning 15 league titles.
The most AST's (All Sports Trophy) won by a GMC school is Princeton who captured 11 straight titles (19 overall) when the league hosted a 5-6 team format. The Vikings last title was some 20+ years ago. Mason holds the record for the longest consecutive winning streak during the modern era of the 8-10 league format.
The ten member schools of the Greater Miami Conference (GMC) compete in twenty-four sports. In each sport 11 points are awarded for a conference championship, 9 for runner-up, 8 for third, etc. The points are tallied at the end of the spring season and the school with the highest total gains possession of the traveling trophy. The league recognition has been annually awarded since the conference was founded beginning with the 1966-67 school year.
Lakota East is the 2014 GMC Boys Volleyball Champion! The Thunderhawks "ran the table" in the conference this season with a perfect 8-0 mark after sweeping Middletown on Wednesday evening. The Hawks have now won the league title four times; 2014, 2007, 2006 and 2003. In each of those championship years the team has gone undefeated to win the league. All conference teams are now posted.
