Cycle Mania

Dave Sanders recently had a cycle in 2 consecutive games. That prompted me to do a little research. There have been 197 cycles in recorded D1 history. Not surprisingly, that total has more than doubled in just the last few years, since the advent of the "bionic ball". We have 12 this season, the most ever for a Fall season. The record is 20 set in the Winter 2026 season, and to complete the trifecta Summer 2026 holds the all-time Summer record with 9. Who are the career leaders? Glad you asked. #1 on the list is Mike Cudworth with 7, and #2 is Pete Zrinski with 6.

Here are the cycles this season:
