Trinity
retains President's Trophy
Tiger program has won 10
of last 11 All-Sports titles
ATLANTA, Ga.
- Trinity University clinched the 2003-04 Southern
Collegiate Athletic Conference President's Trophy - the program's 10th
all-sports trophy in 11 years - after winning four of the eight league
championships contested at the SCAC Spring Sports Festival at Oglethorpe
University.
A bell, donated by the Norfolk and Western Railroad, was adopted as the
conference's President's Trophy and serves as the symbol for the conference.
This bell is displayed for one year on the campus of the school with the
combined men's and women's athletics program that accumulates the highest number
of points towards the all-sports trophy.
This weekend, Trinity captured championships in baseball, men's and women's
tennis and women's track and field. Last fall and winter, Trinity won titles in
football, volleyball, men's soccer, men's and women's swimming and diving and
men's basketball.
In other spring sport championships decided this weekend, DePauw University
claimed titles in men's track and field and women's golf, Sewanee-University of
the South won its first-ever softball title and Rhodes College claimed its first
men's golf title since 1991.
Trinity finished with 830 total points - the most points accumulated in the
history of the President's Trophy race. DePauw finished in second place with 700
points - the program's fifth second-place finish since joining the league in
1998. DePauw is also the only school other than Trinity to win the all-sports
trophy since 1993 (2000-01).
Rounding out the standings, Rhodes narrowly defeated Sewanee for third place.
Rhodes finished with 560 points while Sewanee followed with 555 points. Centre
