(PRINCETON, W.VA)---The West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference has named the victors of the Presidents' and Commissioner's Cups for the 2009-10 athletic season. The trophies honor all-around athletic excellence among its member schools.
West Virginia Wesleyan grabs both titles for the third consecutive season.
Wesleyan won league championships in women's basketball, women's cross country, men's cross country, women's track and field, men's track and field, men's tennis, and softball. The Bobcats also received second place finishes in women's soccer and women's tennis before winning post-season events in those sports.
Charleston was second in a tightly bunched Presidents' Cup finish. The Golden Eagles were trailed by Alderson-Broaddus, Seton Hill, Wheeling Jesuit, Shepherd, and West Virginia State.
Concord placed second in the Commissioner's Cup standings, followed by Seton Hill, Charleston, Wheeling Jesuit, and West Liberty.
The Presidents' Cup is awarded to the school that has the highest average score for sports sponsored within the WVIAC. Points are awarded based on finishes in the regular season of each sport. The number of schools participating for each championship also factors into the rating.
The Commissioner's Cup is awarded to the institution with the highest cumulative score as determined by a scoring method used by the league. Points are awarded based on the school's finish after completion of each of the sports sponsored by the WVIAC.
WVIAC champions are determined by the regular season standings in sports that receive NCAA automatic qualification for the tournament winners. Tournament champions in all other sports are considered conference champions. The tournament winner is considered the WVIAC champion in sports with a divisional setup.
