Lees-McRae Takes Early Lead in
Conference Carolinas
All-Sports ‘Joby Hawn Cup'
High Point, NC> Lees-McRae College has taken an
early lead in the Conference Carolinas Joby Hawn
Cup with the completion of all the fall sports league
championships. The Hawn Cup is awarded to the league member
that shows the highest rating of excellence in all
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.
Hawn Cup points are awarded in each sport based on the order of
regular season finish with bonus points going to the tournament
champion and runner-up finishers, based on the number of
participating teams in each sport. Men's & women's golf,
men's and women's cross country, and men's and women's track &
field are the only conference sponsored sports in which points are
determined solely by conference tournament finish.
Lees-McRae has the current highest rating of .784. The
Bobcats early success has been highlighted by their women's
volleyball regular season and tournament championships, men's
soccer regular season championship, and men's & women's cross
country runner-up finishes.
Anderson currently sits in second place with a solid fall
campaign and rating of .642. Limestone and Pfeiffer are close
behind in a third place tie with a .574 rating.
Rounding out the schools in order were Belmont Abbey .524, Queens
.507, Erskine & Mount Olive .399 (tied), Coker .284, St.
Andrews .270, Converse .237, and Barton .196 respectively.
