The Maryville University Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) has developed a competition within the Athletic Department which will be known as the Saints C
up.
In total, there are 25 teams what will compete within the challenge, with Cross Country and Track combined into one team and split between male and female.
Â
The Saints Cup awards each team with points, separated within six categories:
- Academic Excellence
- Athletic Excellence
- Community Outreach
- Professional Development
- Supporting other Athletic Teams and Student Organizations
- SAAC meeting participation
These six categories comprise what it means to be a Saint, and throughout involvement and success in each category, provides our student-athletes with an all-encompassing experience at Maryville University.
Â
The points earned through each category are accumulated over the fall and spring quarters. Throughout the academic year, student-athletes are encouraged to compete with their fellow peers and earn as many points as possible. The winning team will be announced at the student-athlete banquet at the end of the year accompanied with a prize.
