All Things

Varsity, club, and intramural athletics offer Calvin students an opportunity for enriching competition and exciting spectator involvement. Calvin fans have cheered the men's basketball team to a NCAA D3 National Championship and have set attendance records for the MIAA and NCAA. Seeking excellence, scholar-athletes are the norm.

In fact, the cross country teams have wowed the NCAA with the women's team earning back to back national championships in 1998 and 1999 and the men's team earning the national championship in 2000, 2003, and 2004. Not surprisingly, Calvin athletes have been recognized as Academic All-Americans 62 times including 13 times in the last three years.
