  • For 130 years, sports have been a meaningful part of life at our university, from community recreation to the intercollegiate student-athlete experience.   In this month’s 130-year anniversary reflection, we’re looking back on our athletic history. While official intercollegiate programs didn’t begin until more than 60 years into our story, starting with men’s basketball in 1959, our commitment to athletics has grown tremendously. Along the way, our student-athletes, coaches, staff, and fans have contributed to numerous conference and national achievements.   Here’s just a small glimpse into the history of our ever-growing intercollegiate athletic experience!
