Christopher Newport and Methodist Win President's Cups
(FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.) - Following the conclusion of
the
2005-2006 USA South competition, the standings for the Overall, Men's and Women's
President's Cups have been determined. The 2005-2006 season is the
first year that the USA South has presented an Overall, Men's and a Women's
President's Cup as Christopher Newport University claimed the Overall
and Women's President's
Cup while Methodist College won the Men's President's Cup.
Christopher Newport claimed six conference regular season championships,
three each on the men's and women's side. The Captains also finished runner-up in four other conference races. These
President's Cups are the 14th and 15th that Christopher Newport has won since it's
inception during the 1978-1979 academic year.
Methodist won three men's conference championships, including two of the
three
men's sports that the USA South sponsors in the spring. The
Monarchs also finished runner-up in another men's sport. This marks
the 10th time that Methodist has won the USA South President's Cup.
The USA South Athletic Conference President's Cup symbolizes the
league's top men's and women's athletic program each year. The President's
Cup is awarded by a points system where the first place team in each
sport will be awarded the number of points that corresponds to the
number of schools that sponsor teams in that sport. The second
place team receives one point less than the first place team and so on,
down to one point for the last place team that competes.
