Trojans fourth in Director's Cup

June 29, 2009 |  4:52 pm

Usc_240 USC finished in fourth place in the 2008-2009 Director's Cup standings, the school's best finish since the ranking system started in 1993. The National Association of Collegiate Athletic Directors (NACDA), Learfield Sports and USA Today compile the standings, which rank a school's athletic program based on how all of its teams finish each year.

Stanford finished first for the 15th straight time, followed by North Carolina and Florida. USC's previous high rank was fifth, in 2006-2007.

"That success is a reflection of the hard work put in by all of our student-athletes and coaches," USC Athletic Director Mike Garrett said in a press release. "They are to be congratulated."

USC won two NCAA championships this past school year, in men's tennis and men's water polo.
