The book is closed on UK Athletics’ 2012-13 season, but a record is still within reach.On Friday, updated Directors’ Cup standings were released and UK came in 25th. UK scored 120 points since the latest standings update on the strength of solid performance by softball (advanced to super regionals) and men’s track and field (finished 18th at NCAA Championships).With no more Wildcat teams competing, UK won’t score any more points. However, if UK remains in 25th place, it would set a school record for the highest finish in the 20-year history of the Directors’ Cup, making progress toward Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart’s goal of finishing in the top 15 by the year 2015. The previous record is 26th, set in 1996-97.UK also ranks sixth among Southeastern Conference schools in the latest standings. That would tie a school record also set in 1996-97.
