Tennessee athletics has had a strong run, and the latest example came when the baseball team clinched its latest trip to Omaha.

That’s why the Vols have promoted that Tennessee is the only school since 1998 to win a BCS/NY6 bowl, advance to men’s and women’s basketball Sweet 16 and advance to the baseball and softball College World Series in the same academic year.

This year also saw Tennessee win the second straight All-SEC sports title, and NCAA berths in volleyball, women’s soccer, men’s golf, women’s golf, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, swimming and diving and track/cross country.

Earlier, Tennessee swept both SEC softball championships, and also finished in the top 3 in regular or postseason events: football (second East), men’s cross country (second), women’s swimming & diving (second), men’s tennis (second), men’s swimming & diving (third), women’s basketball (third), men’s golf (tied for third), soccer (third), women’s tennis (third), women’s indoor track & field (third) and men’s outdoor track & field (third).
