As a note for the scoring of the event, Directors’ Cup points are awarded bases on a school’s NCAA finish in 19 sports, four of which must be men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, and baseball.
Powered by a fourth-consecutive NCAA women’s swimming & diving championship, Final Four appearances in both field hockey and men’s lacrosse, a fifth-place finish in men’s golf, and another trip to the College World Series in baseball, Virginia placed in the top five for the second year in a row (4th in 2022-2023) and for the fourth time in the 31 years the LEARFIELD Directors’ Cup has been awarded. UVA is one of only 10 schools in the country to rank in the top 30 in every year of the Directors’ Cup’s existence.
“We had another incredible season in competition and in the classroom,” said UVA director of athletics Carla Williams. “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.”

MONTVALE, Va. (WFXR) — Hot, dry weather is having an impact on livestock farmers in the Roanoke and Lynchburg regions.
“We base on pasture management and grazing cattle 300 days out of the year,” said Johnny Divers of Chapel Creek Farms near Montvale. “Weather is one thing we can not control.”
Farmers like Divers have had to pivot to work around the problems dry pastures can create. In Divers’ case, that means rotating herds from pasture to pasture, and leaving some fields uncut or untouched. In addition, Divers says preparations and actions taken in the spring, like limiting the number of cattle in certain pastures, are paying off now.
“We don’t overstock our pastures for this reason,” Divers said. “If you overstock in early spring, you can pretty much guarantee yourself that you will run out of pasture in the summertime if you go into any sort of a drought.”
Divers also says keeping some fields untouched helps the soil in those pastures to retain moisture. That will extend their life and keep them viable for grazing later in the summer.
Pastures are just one concern. Herd hydration is another. Divers says each head of cattle can drink up to 40 gallons of water a day. He always makes sure his herds have two water sources wherever they are pastured.
