FWCD Boys Athletics Wins 2024-25 SPC Athletic Directors’ Cup

The Southwest Preparatory Conference honored FWCD’s boys athletic program with the 2024-25 Athletic Directors’ Cup, a prestigious recognition that reflects the overall strength and consistency of the School’s boys athletic teams across all sports.

The Athletic Directors’ Cup, often referred to as the AD Cup and the “all-sports trophy,” ranks schools based on their finishes in each SPC sport throughout the fall, winter and spring seasons. FWCD’s boys teams earned top placements across multiple sports this year, leading to a first-place finish overall, a major step up from last year’s third-place tie.

“This award by no means suggests that if we played Kinkaid and Episcopal High School and St. John’s across the board we’d have the best boys athletic program in the conference,” said FWCD Athletic Director Leigh Block, “but it does show that when you look at the competitiveness of our boys teams across all sports, we’ve had great success. That speaks volumes about our coaches and athletes.”

This year’s win is particularly significant, as it marks the final year the SPC will award a single boys and girls Directors’ Cup for the entire conference. Starting next year, SPC is splitting the cup into 3A and 4A divisions, grouping schools by size. While FWCD will only compete for the 3A Cup moving forward, the 2024-25 victory stands as a testament to the program’s strength within the entire SPC.

Unofficial calculations suggest that if the cup had already been divided this year, FWCD would have earned the top co-ed score among 3A schools, placing first in boys and second in girls, another encouraging sign for the future.
