The intercollegiate
athletics program and its students are important components to the overall
image and activities of the College.
The College has women’s and men’s basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball,
and wrestling. In addition, a coed
cheerleading/spirit squad entertains Cardinal fans. LCC is a member of the National Junior College Athletic
Association (NJCAA) and belongs to the Kansas Jayhawk Community College
Conference (KJCCC). The KJCCC is widely
recognized as one of the most competitive in the nation.
Cardinal athletics
continues to produce student athletes who go on to succeed at the academic
four-year level and several at the professional level. Historically, Cardinal athletics has been
noted for its nationally known wrestling program. It has produced scores of All-Americans, including several
academic All-Americans---and a Hall of Fame coach. Baseball and Basketball also have a record of their athletes
successfully moving to the next level.
Softball and volleyball, although new to Cardinal athletics, have been
solid performers from the beginning.
Not only are the Cardinals competitive on the field, but their GPAs
demonstrate that coaches demand that athletes also take their academic futures
seriously.
The Dean of Student
Services prepares an Equity in Athletics Report every year that provides
statistics and other specific information on budgets, scholarship money,
etc. The report, along with graduation
and transfer rates for athletes, is available from the Dean of Student
Services.
Student organizations on
campus provide activities for students with special interests. Any student interested in participating in
extra curricular campus life should contact the Student Life Coordinator (SLC)
located in the Student Union or the specific organization adviser.
Activities of student
organizations assist in the development of skills and/or knowledge in areas
such as leadership, teamwork, communication, interpersonal, social,
intellectual, organizational, and time management. Organizations also provide practical experience regarding the
principles of democratic and political decision making. Please refer to the LCC Student Handbook for
additional information.
