Thought I would share a brief summary of NC State’s performance in the 2009-2010 school year as well as a few observations. For each ACC sport (as well as gymnastics and rifle) I have listed State’s finish in the standings, overall record, ACC record, the ACC champion, the national champion and the finish and points awarded in the Directors Cup standings. (Note: the finish for swimming and wrestling are from the ACC championships, not the win/loss record)
Observations
Cross Country (M) and Rifle (SEARC) won conference championships.
In ACC competition for sports with win/loss records, only Swimming (M) and Swimming(W) with records of 3-2 had a winning record. Gymnastics had a winning record in the EAGL as did Rifle in the SEARC.
Of the 15 sports with win/loss records, 11 had overall winning records.
Cross Country(M) was the only ACC program to finish above 4th place. Gymnastics(EAGL) and Rifle (SEARC) also finished above 4th.
Outdoor Track (W) and Volleyball both finished last in the ACC, as did Rifle in the GARC.
Virginia won the most ACC titles with 7, followed by Florida St with 5 and Georgia Tech with 4.
ACC schools won 8 national championships. Duke, North Carolina and Virginia won 2 titles and Maryland and Boston College won 1. (Boston College won the the national championship in Men’s Hockey, a non-ACC sport).
In the Directors Cup standings, NC State ranked 89th, which is last in the ACC. In the next week or so I plan on posting an entry with a more detailed look at the Directors Cup for NC State as well as the rest of the ACC.
As maligned as NC State’s men’s soccer program is, it did earn the most points of any sport in the Directors Cup for a 17th place finish.
