Senior Wes Kiser swept the outdoor men’s track and field honors

For the third-straight year and 28th time overall, Appalachian State University won the Southern Conference Commissioner’s Cup, awarded annually to the conference’s top all-around men’s sports program. Appalachian’s 28th Commissioner’s Cup title in the past 31 years came on strength of winning four conference crowns during the 2007-08 academic year — outright titles in cross country and outdoor track and field, a co-championship in football and the North Division co-championship in basketball. ASU also claimed runner-up finishes in indoor track and field and wrestling. In all, ASU earned 84 points in the league’s scoring system, 11 more than runner-up Furman. The Mountaineers’ 28 Commissioner’s Cups are by far the most won by any school in the 39-year history of the award. William & Mary boasts the Whitney Tossie closed out her career with second-most at five, followed by East Carolina (four) and Chattanooga, East all-SoCon honors Tennessee State and Furman (one each). Since joining the SoCon in 1972-73, Appalachian has never finished lower than third in the Commissioner’s Cup race. ASU hasn’t finished lower than second since 1976-77. ASU women’s teams have claimed the title eight times in the history of the award, but just twice in the past 15 academic years.
