TRAFFORD, Pa. (pacathletics.org) -- The Grove City College men's athletic program and Allegheny College women's athletic program captured their respective Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) All-Sports Trophy races for the 2022-23 academic year.
The all-sports trophies are annually awarded to the schools which perform the best across the board in league competition. First-place finishes are worth 11 points, runner-up finishes are worth 10 points ... last place is worth one point.
Men
Trailing by 10.5 points after the winter season, Grove City used two conference titles and two other top three finishes to edge Washington & Jefferson College by just 2.5 points to win the Men's All-Sports Trophy. It's the second trophy in the last three years for the Wolverines and their 12th in program history.
After winning the league title in swimming and diving in the winter, Grove City won PAC championships this spring in lacrosse and outdoor track and field, while adding in a runner-up showing in tennis and third place in baseball. The Wolverines men's golf team added a fourth place finish to help the program total 97.5 points. W&J totaled 95 points for the year after winning league crowns in baseball and golf and placing third in outdoor track and field.
Allegheny College, who won the PAC men's tennis title, took third place in the standings with 89 points, followed by Westminster College in fourth (82.5), Saint Vincent College (79.5) in fifth, followed by Geneva College (68.5), Franciscan University (53), Thiel College (49), Waynesburg University (44.5), Chatham University (39) and Bethany College (28.5).
Women
There was also a spring comeback in the women's race, as Allegheny, who trailed Grove City by 3.5 points following the winter, used one PAC title and three other top-four placements to come back to finish in first place. For the Gators, who spent the last 39 years in the North Coast Athletic Conference before returning to the PAC this year, it's their first Women's All-Sports Trophy in program history.
Allegheny, who won PAC championships in cross country and tennis in the fall and indoor track and field in the winter, added a fourth conference title for the year by winning in outdoor track and field. The Gators added a second place in lacrosse, third in golf and fourth in softball to total 38 points this spring and finish with 98.5 for the year. Grove City finished as the runner-up after scoring 27.5 points this spring to total 91.5 for the year
After winning the women's golf PAC title, Westminster jumped one spot in the standings from the winter to score 84 points and take third place, while W&J, who won the women's lacrosse championship, scored 69 points this year to finish in fourth place. Franciscan was next in fifth with 64.5, followed by Saint Vincent (63), Chatham (61.5), Geneva (56.5), Bethany and Thiel (40) and Waynesburg, who captured the PAC title in softball for the second year in a row, finished with 37.5 points.
