BYU's 21 athletic teams consistently rank among the best in the nation. The past 10 years have brought numerous successes in Cougar athletics. BYU teams have finished their respective seasons ranked in the nation's top 25 on 102 occasions and in the nation's top 10 on 43 different occasions. During that span, BYU has averaged 10 top-25 finishes and 3.4 top-10 finishes per year. BYU has also produced six national champions in the last 11 seasons. In BYU's first season in the WCC and MPSF (swimming and track & field), BYU won four conference titles. During their time in the Mountain West Conference, the Cougars won 128 out of 316 conference championships. That is 40 percent of all championships, by far the most of any school in the Mountain West. In 2000-01, BYU won all but three conference championships (16 of 19). BYU also dominated the Western Athletic Conference from 1962-1999, winning more championships than any other WAC school. In fact, during the last three decades in the WAC, the Cougars won 60 percent of the WAC Championships.
