Christopher Newport Captures All Three President's Cups
(FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.) - Following the conclusion of
2007-2008 USA South competition, the standings for the Overall, Men's and Women's President's Cups have been determined. The 2007-2008 season is the
third year the USA South has presented an Overall, a Men's and a Women's
President's Cup. This season, Christopher Newport University has claimed
all three cups for the second consecutive season.
Christopher Newport captured six conference regular season championships,
three each on the men's and women's side. The Captains also finished
as the runner-up in seven other conference races. This is the third
consecutive Overall President's Cup and Women's President's Cup for the
Captains. The Men's President's Cup is the second straight for the CNU program.
Additionally, these
President's Cups are the 19th, 20th and 21st that Christopher Newport has won since it's
inception during the 1978-1979 academic year.
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.
