Normally I don't post about my alma mater, but this is something that even I can be proud/amazed by.
Williams ranked was ranked #1 in both athletics and academics for the third straight year.
No school had ever topped both the US News & World Report college rankings (for academics) and won the Director's Cup (for athletics) in the same year before Williams did it in 2004. And they repeated the feat in 2005. And now again in 2006.
Mind you, this is a school of 2000 people. So you can't simply pull an accomplishment like this off by recruiting one pool of dumb jocks for the sports and one pool of pasty bookworms for the grades.
Quite an incredible achievement. Congrats all!
