Cloud County Finishes Eighth in 2021-22 Daktronics Cup Standings

For the fifth-straight year, the Cloud County Community College athletic department has finished inside the top 10 of the annual National Alliance of Two Year College Athletic Administrators (NATYCAA) Daktronics Cup Standings following an eighth-place finish in the 2021-2022 standings. 

Earning a total of 103 points in the National Junior College Athletic Association Scholarship Division, the T-Birds finish the year as the third-highest Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference school behind third-place finisher Barton (162 points) and fourth-place Cowley (151 points).  The KJCCC/NJCAA Region VI is the only region to place three schools inside the top 10 of the NJCAA Scholarship division, with NJCAA Region V (Western Junior College Athletic Conference) and Region VI (Iowa Community College Athletic Conference) each placing two teams inside the top-10. 

The eighth-place finish follows up last year's program-best sixth-place finish as CCCC earned a total of 116 points in the 2020-21 season as Cloud County has finished inside the top-10 of the NJCAA Scholarship Division each year dating back to the 2017-2018 Daktronics Cup. 

 Colleges in each division are allowed to use their top-five finishes per gender at their highest level of competition to earn points for the Daktronics Cup.  The champions of each competition score 20 points, second place scores 19, third place 18, etc.  This is the fourth year that Daktronics has sponsored this award in conjunction with the National Alliance of Two-Year College Athletic Administrators (NATYCAA).
