4 HARVARD’S IVY LEAGUE TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS (Through March 2006)

Since the Ivy League began it has crowned over 1,300 champions in both men’s and women’s sports. Harvard ranks second to Princeton in the number of overall titles won with 319 (first on the men’s side with 222). As this year winds down there will hopefully be a few more to add to this list.
