Rose-Hulman holds the early lead in each of the three 2009-10 major athletic department awards presented by the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference, in fall results compiled Monday.
The Engineers lead the Commissioner’s Cup standings with 53.5 points through eight sports seasons to hold a nine-point edge on second place Hanover. The Commissioner’s Cup is presented to the league school with the top combined finishes in all 19 league sports.
Rose-Hulman also holds a three-point lead after five of nine sports in the Women’s All-Sports Trophy standings. The Engineers relied on a league co-championship in soccer, a second-place finish in tennis, third-place efforts in golf and cross country and a fourth-place showing in volleyball to earn the early three-point lead over Hanover.
On the men’s side, Rose-Hulman is tied with Manchester for the Men’s All-Sports Trophy following three of 10 league sports. The Engineers earned the outright regular season championship in men’s soccer and recorded finishes of fourth in football and cross country.
Rose-Hulman has won the Men’s All-Sports Trophy for the past two years and captured the Commissioner’s Cup in 2007-08. The Engineers are in search of their first Women’s All-Sports Trophy from any conference.
