Princeton Ranks No. 14 In Winter LEARFIELD Directors' Cup Standings
April 07, 2023 | General
Most Recent LEARFIELD Directors' Cup Standings
Princeton has moved up to No. 14 in the most recent update to the LEARFIELD Directors' Cup standings, a jump bolstered by an exceptionally strong winter championships season which saw the Tigers score points in six of the 11 sports tracked so far this winter season.
Currently, Princeton has totalled 590.00 points this academic year, scoring 361.00 of them in the most recent season. Princeton's winter championships performance of 361.00 points was the seventh-best of any Division I program this winter.
After the fall rankings, Princeton had ranked No. 36 overall with 148.00 points earned by men's water polo, field hockey, men's cross country and women's cross country.
Fencing led the charge this winter with a No. 2 finish at the NCAA Championships, while men's basketball's run to the Sweet Sixteen also was a key contributor. Wrestling, led by NCAA champion Patrick Glory and a No. 13 finish as a team, played a huge role in Princeton's ascent as did women's basketball, men's indoor track and field -- led by NCAA pole vault champion Sondre Guttormsen -- and men's swimming and diving.
The LEARFIELD Directors' Cup was developed as a joint effort between the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and USA Today. Points are awarded based on each institution's finish in NCAA Championships.
Please note, standings published midseason are unofficial. Official standings will be published upon the completion of the spring season. Complete standings and the scoring structure can be found on NACDA's website at www.directorscup.org. In addition, please visit www.thedirectorscup.com and follow us on Twitter @ldirectorscup.
