CHAPEL HILL - Wachovia Bank, N.A., and the North Carolina High School Athletic Association have announced the final standings for the 2007-08 academic year in the Wachovia Cup competitions after the spring sports seasons. The Wachovia Cup award, sponsored by Wachovia Bank, N.A., and the NCHSAA, recognizes the high schools that achieve the best overall interscholastic athletic performances within each of the state’s four competitive classifications. The Wachovia Cup program has concluded its 29th year. Charlotte Catholic remained first in the 3-A classification on the strength of a men’s dual team tennis state championship and a finish in the top eight in women’s soccer for a total of 470 points. Three-time defending Wachovia champ Asheville T.C. Roberson had 402.5 points and tied for second with Asheville High School. Roberson had state runner-up finishes in both women’s soccer and women’s outdoor track while Asheville placed third in men’s outdoor track and sixth in women’s outdoor track. Wachovia Cup points are determined by a system based on performance in state-championship events. All schools that finish in the top eight positions (plus ties) earn points. In the playoff events involving teams from more than one classification, Wachovia Cup points are awarded based on the school’s standing against other schools in its own classification. If fewer then eight schools from a classification compete in a sport, only those schools that are represented are eligible to receive the Wachovia Cup points. Points are awarded for all sports as follows: 50 for first, 45 for second, 40 for third, 35 for fourth, 30 for fifth, 25 for sixth, 20 for seventh and 15 for eighth. In the event of a tie, the schools receive an equal number of points based on the number of teams that tie and the number of teams that finish higher in the standings. Five points are awarded for each sanctioned sport in which a school competes. Wachovia Cup standings are announced three times each school year: once after the fall and then the winter sports, and concluding with the winner after the spring sports season ends in June. The engraved silver cups are presented during NCHSAA Day activities at UNC-Chapel Hill each fall.
