NCAA III Learfield Sports Directors Cup standings, finishing 15th in the
nation in Division III in 2012-13 with a total of 651.0 points.

the nation in Division III by winning with a score of 1,273.75 points.
The Cup is presented annually by the National Association of Collegiate
Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and Learfield Sports to the best overall
collegiate athletics programs in the country, and is based on points earned by
teams that compete in NCAA Championship events.
Division III points are awarded based on finish in championship competition.
Each national champion receives 100 points with a national runner-up finish
worth 90 points. Third place is worth 80 points and fourth place finishes count
for 75 points with a sliding point scale continuing on down by order of finish.
Calvin picked up 143.0 points during the spring sports season as its men's
track and field took 19th at the NCAA III Championships, its women's track and
field team took 26th and its men's golf team 30th.
