Eagles Finish in the Top 15 of the Daktronic Cups

The Oxford College of Emory University Athletic Department finished in 13th place in the final standings of the Daktronics Cup as announced by the National Alliance of Two-Year College Athletic Administrators (NATYCAA). Heading into its 20th year, the Daktronics Cup recognizes the top athletic programs in the three divisions of two-year college athletics. Daktronics has sponsored this award for the last five years in conjunction with NATYCAA. Emory Oxford is in the Non-Scholarship Division (Division III), which has 161 athletic programs. 

Colleges earn points based on their performance in each division's end-of-the-season championship events. The winners of each championship earn 20 points, second-place finishes earn 19 points, third-place finishers receive 18 points, etc. Colleges use their top-five sports finishes per gender to accumulate points toward their division's cup standings.

In the fall, the women's tennis team claimed their seventh consecutive national title, while the women's cross-country team finished in third place at the nationals. In the spring, the men's tennis team also won their seventh-consecutive title, while the women's golf team won their first-ever national championship.
