UVA Athletics ranked fifth overall in the 2023-2024 Learfield Directors’ Cup, and was tops in the ACC.

The final numbers for the all-sports competition were released on Wednesday by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics.

Virginia finished up with a strong spring sports season, with the women’s swimming team bringing home its fourth straight national title, men’s lacrosse getting to Championship Weekend and baseball making a third trip to the College World Series in the past four years.

The fifth-place finish is the second straight top-five for UVA, which ranked fourth in the final rankings last year.

“We had another incredible season in competition and in the classroom,” Athletics Director Carla Williams said. “Our student-athletes, coaches and staff continue to perform at the highest level while representing themselves and this wonderful university with honor and integrity. Our continued excellence is a tribute to their hard work and dedication. We are so grateful for the opportunity to represent the University of Virginia.”
