GCC Sports Once Again Tops in America

There's no dethroning the Roadrunners.

For the second straight year, Gloucester County College has been named the nation's best overall National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) non-scholarship athletic program in winning the National Alliance of Two-Year College Athletic Administrators (NATYCAA) Cup.

A record-breaking spring season propelled the Roadrunners to victory, resulting in GCC’s program scoring their highest-ever number of points in the NATYCAA Cup program.

National championship performances by the men’s tennis team–their second consecutive national title–and the women’s softball team–their first national title–and second-place national finishes by the women’s tennis and baseball teams, as well as a fifth-place finish by the men’s track and field team and a seventh-place finish by the women’s track and field team helped lead the Roadrunners to the top of the leaderboard for the NATYCAA Cup.

A third-place finish by men’s cross country and a ninth-place finish by women’s cross-country in the fall 2010 season, and a fifth-place national finish by the wrestling team in the winter season also contributed to GCC’s winning total of 154 points.

The top three places in this year’s NJCAA Non-Scholarship College Division were awarded to the same colleges as last year.

GCC’s 154 points outdistanced Herkimer County College’s point total of 128 and Mohawk Valley Community College’s total of 127.

In addition to winning the NATYCAA Cup two years in a row, GCC has also won 18 national titles in the last 20 years and the Collegiate Athletic Administrators of New Jersey award for the last six years.
