DURHAM, N.C. (AP) Duke athletic director Kevin White is looking forward to a better – and healthier – 2017-18 for all of his school’s athletic teams.
On the whole, the Blue Devils took a step back during this past season. They rank 35th in the most recent standings for the Director’s Cup – awarded annually to the school with the best performance in all sports. Duke hasn’t finished that low in the final rankings in 21 years.
In an interview with The Associated Press, White said it was an ”interesting year” because of the relative youth across the rosters and the widespread injuries that derailed so many of the teams.
