High Point, NC> The University of Mount Olive has taken over
the lead in the Conference Carolinas Joby Hawn Cup with the
completion of the winter sports league championships. The
Hawn Cup is awarded to the league member that shows the highest
rating of excellence in conference-sponsored sports. The Hawn
Cup is tallied after each sport season (fall, winter, & spring)
and then awarded each year in honor of former Commissioner H.C.
"Joby" Hawn for his many years of service to the former Carolinas
Conference.
Conference Carolinas will name a winner for just the
women’s sports, a winner for just the men’s sports, and
then an overall winner using both the men and women’s
combined tallies. Hawn Cup points are awarded in each sport
based on the order of regular season finish with bonus points going
to the tournament champion (2 bonus points) and runner-up finisher
(1 bonus point), based on the number of participating teams in each
sport.
For the individual women’s cup, the top two spots remained
the same. Belmont Abbey held-on to the lead tallying 41
points for a .854 rating. The Crusaders initial lead can be
credited to their championship in women’s volleyball and
runner-up finish in women’s soccer. The
Abbey is followed by King who took the cross-country championship
and runner-up finish in the women’s indoor track & field
championship to total 40.5 points. Mount Olive is in third with
37.5 points and a .781 rating.
Mount Olive jumped to the top spot for the individual
men’s cup. The Trojans climbed from a tie for second
after the fall season to vault to the winter lead. By taking
the men’s indoor track & field championship along with
their earlier men’s cross country title, Mount Olive totals
30.5 points with a .897 rating. Lurking close behind is
second-ranked Limestone and third-place King. The Saints won
the men’s basketball championship to build to 27.5 points
while King finished as the basketball championship runner-up to
tally 25 points and a .735 mark.
For the overall tally, Mount Olive also holds the winter
top-spot with 68 points and .829 rating. The Trojans jumped
from third to first following titles in both the men’s and
women’s indoor track & field championships. They
also gained points with their women’s basketball runner-up
finish. King dropped one position into second place although
runner-up finishes in men’s basketball and women’s
indoor track & field showed their fight to tally 65.5
points. Limestone moved-up two spots overall and into third
with championships in both men’s & women’s
basketball as they lurk closely with 58 points and a .707
rating.
Four teams improved at least two spots from fall to winter
(Mount Olive, Limestone, North Greenville, and Erskine) with
Lees-McRae also improving one spot. Overall ratings for all
teams were: Mount Olive .829, King .799, Limestone .707, Belmont
Abbey .689, Barton .585, North Greenville .500, Erskine .478,
Pfeiffer .410, Lees-McRae .372 and Converse at .344
