NC State is No. 7 in early Director’s Cup standings

Related Topics: Cross country running

Thanks to a strong effort from NC State’s cross country teams this fall, the Wolfpack checks in at No. 7 in the Directors’ Cup standings. The Directors’ Cup is a useful but imperfect measure of the overall quality of a school’s athletics department—points are awarded on a sliding scale based on postseason finish.

The women’s cross country team finished fourth at nationals, and the men were 22nd. Up to this point, the only point-scoring sports are cross country and field hockey, and NC State does not have a field hockey team. Buncha darn cheaters are loading up on field hockey points!
