WALESKA, Ga. - On Friday, the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) announced the updated standings of the AAC Duard Walker All-Sports Trophy, listing Milligan atop the ranking with an astounding 280 cumulative points.. They currently outpace second-place Reinhardt by 96 points.

Milligan collected first-place AAC finishes in men's swimming, women's swimming, and men's indoor track & field while sharing first place in women's basketball. The Buffaloes also tied for second in men's basketball and were third in women's indoor track & field. Milligan tallied 157.5 points during the winter season.

This is the fifth year the current point system has been used. Teams earned points based on their regular-season finish only, unless the sport (i.e. cross country, track & field, swimming & diving) only hosted a championship meet. Points are assigned as follows: first place receives 30 points, second place 25, third place 20, fourth place 15, fifth 12, sixth 11, seventh 10, eighth 9, ninth: 8, 10th 7, 11th 6, 12th 5, 13th 4, 14th 3, 15th 2, and 16th 1. If teams are tied for a place, the points are shared. For example, if two teams are tied for first place, each will receive 27.5 points (30 points for first plus 25 points for second, divided by two).
