DEMOREST, Ga. - On Tuesday night inside Cave Arena, Piedmont Athletics was awarded the Overall and Men's Commissioner's Cups following the second year of competition in the Collegiate Conference of the South.

The Lions delivered a clean sweep of the three cups a year ago (2022-23) and repeated earning two of the three with the overall and men's cups in 2023-24.

Piedmont bookended the academic year with CCS titles, as men's cross country crossed the line first in October, while baseball put an exclamation point on the season with its run to a ring in May.

Repeating as champions on the men's side as well as the overall is a tremendous accomplishment for our athletic department. I am so grateful to all our head and assistant coaches for their commitment to our student-athletes for building and maintaining a culture of excellence for Piedmont athletics.

Jim Peeples, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics

Piedmont finished last season with four postseason championship titles overall and two more regular season titles. In addition to men’s cross country, men’s track and field and men’s golf’s postseason titles and men’s tennis’s regular season crown, Piedmont women’s tennis continued its run of dominance, with an undefeated regular season and regular season title, followed by a dominant tournament run and their second straight CCS Tournament Championship.

We are incredibly proud of the dedication and hard work demonstrated by all our member institutions this past year. The performances of Maryville College and Piedmont University are a testament to their commitment to excellence both on and off the field. Congratulations to both institutions for their remarkable achievements.
