WVU women’s rifle placed first in the Capital One Cup standings, while women’s cross country finished eighth. The Mountaineers join three other Big 12 schools to rank in the top 50: Texas (No. 17/15), TCU (No. 12/33) and Baylor (No. 47/18).
Presently, Ohio State leads the men’s cup with 85.5 points and Stanford leads the women’s cup with 91.5 points.

The Capital One Cup winners will be determined at the end of the spring season and honored at the ESPYS in July.
Last year, the University of Notre Dame’s men’s athletic program and the University of Florida’s women’s athletic program took home the winning trophies. This is the fifth year of the Capital One Cup.
