Impressive spring championship showings in softball and men's track and field boosted Tennessee to a best-ever, seventh-place finish in the U.S. Sports Academy Director's Cup.
Stanford led the way with 1,429 points, followed by UCLA, North Carolina, Michigan, Southern California and Florida in the first six. Tennessee tallied 1,045.75 points, with Texas, California and Arizona State rounding out the top 10.
"It has been a goal of ours to have both the men's and women's athletics programs ranked in the top 10 nationally," UT women's athletics director Joan Cronan said. "This year's final ranking is a tribute to the athletes, coaches and administration who have collectively worked so hard to take their programs to this level."
Tennessee's best previous finish was an eighth-place showing in 2004-05.
