For Stanford Athletics, No. 13 is looking more and more lucky. The Cardinal leads by a 236-point margin through winter in pursuit of its 13th straight U.S. Sports Academy Director’s Cup, the University announced yesterday.

Cross-bay rival California trails Stanford for the award given to the top athletic program in the nation. The Cardinal has 997.5 points, while the Bears have a 761.5 total. Wisconsin follows in third with 753.5 points.

Stanford owes much of its well-developed lead to winter sports such as men’s swimming and men’s gymnastics, which placed second and third, respectively, at their NCAA Championships. Other top NCAA finishers for the Cardinal include women’s swimming and men’s indoor track and field (both fourth-place finishers), women’s gymnastics (fifth) and women’s indoor track and field (sixth).

Women’s basketball’s disappointing finish in the NCAA Tournament’s second round also contributed, along with wrestling (32nd at NCAAs) and men’s basketball (a first-round loser at the NCAA tourney).
