The pursuit of excellence is evident in Johnson County Community College intercollegiate
athletics. JCCC Athletics is regarded throughout the region and nation as a first-class program and regularly ranks among the top of the national rankings. JCCC’s great tradition was validated in 2007-08 as JCCC was honored as the 2008 winner of the NATYCAA (National Alliance of Two Year College Athletic Administrators) Cup trophy in the Scholarship Division, a program recognizing program excellence in two-year college athletics at the national level. JCCC has finished in the top 10 of 20 years the cup has been awarded, and has five top-5 finishes, including the cup championship. JCCC is proud of its great tradition and boasts one of the best coaching staffs in the country.
In addition to producing great teams, the JCCC coaches produce quality individuals. The
coaches demand their athletes strive to be the best they can be not only within the realm of their sport but also in the classroom. JCCC’s commitment to developing a well-rounded athlete has paid dividends over the history of the program.
JCCC teams have collected 196 conference titles, eight sub-regional titles, 152 region titles, 12 national championships and have finished among the top-five nationally on 106 occasions.
