UNLV posts strong score in Directors’ Cup
Monday, June 26, 2000 | 10:12 a.m.
Thanks to strong finishes by its spring sports teams, UNLV completed its 1999-00 athletics season among the top quarter of NCAA Division I schools and in the top three of the Mountain West Conference, according to the Sears Directors' Cup final standings.
Tabulated annually by Sears, Roebuck and Co. and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, the Sears Cup this year went to Stanford for the sixth consecutive season.
Buoyed by a sixth-place national finish in golf and a 34th-place finish in track and field, UNLV finished 72nd among 324 schools.
Other Rebel teams that scored points in the Sears Cup competition this year were men's basketball, men's swimming and diving, and women's swimming and diving.
UNLV, which improved 23 spots over last year's finish of 95th, was third among Mountain West Conference schools, trailing No. 18 Brigham Young and No. 54 Utah.
With three conference championships in 1999-00 (men's basketball, golf and women's tennis), the Rebels won the second-most team titles in the league's first year, behind only BYU.
