The University of Denver finished No. 54 in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup, the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) announced today.
The Pioneers sent 11 sports programs to NCAA postseason competition and finished with 396.50 points. DU also finished first among Front Range schools for the second consecutive season, followed by Colorado (No. 69), Air Force (No. 105), Colorado State (No. 127), Wyoming (No. 192) and Northern Colorado (No. 271).
“We are once again honored to represent the Front Range as Denver’s University,” DU Vice Chancellor for Athletics and Recreation and Ritchie Center Operations Peg Bradley-Doppes said. “We are growing into a consistent contender on the national scene of Division I athletics. We still have a lot of work to do, but we are proud of this year’s accomplishments.”
The Pioneers earned 100 points for their 20th NCAA skiing championship, 75 for a fifth-place NCAA finish in women’s golf and 52.5 for gymnastics’ 19th-place finish at NCAA nationals.
In addition, Blake Worsley (Steamboat Springs, Colo.) earned DU 47 points for his performance at the NCAA Men’s Swimming & Diving Championships. DU also earned 25 points each from men’s soccer, women’s soccer, hockey and women’s tennis. The men’s golf team chipped in 22 points with its seventh consecutive NCAA appearance.
Stanford University continued its record NACDA winning streak by claiming its unprecedented 15th consecutive award.
