Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges

Claremont began competing in the SCIAC in 1947-48 when Pomona College and Claremont Men's College combined to form one athletic team. Pomona-Claremont competed in the SCIAC for 11 years until 1957-58. During that time the team won 25 SCIAC titles. In 1958-59 Claremont Men's College combined with Harvey Mudd College and began competition as Claremont-Mudd. The team continued as this entity until the SCIAC began sponsoring women's sports in 1976-77 at which time it became Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (Claremont Men's College became Claremont McKenna College in 1981).

Claremont-Mudd-Scripps is the only team in the SCIAC which has won a conference title in each sport and they have won all 19 sports at least twice. The men's program has won 147 SCIAC titles since its inception while the women's program has won 55 SCIAC titles. Claremont-Mudd(-Scripps)' men's program has won the SCIAC All-Sports Competition 30 times including the last 19 in a row. The women have won 14 All-Sports Trophies including the last 12 in a row. The combined Claremont-Mudd-Scripps athletic program has won the All-Sports Trophy 19 times with victories in 18 of the last 19 years and 13 years in a row.

In addition to their strong showings in the SCIAC the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps athletic program has also performed well in post-season competition. CMS has won two national titles. Claremont-Mudd won the NAIA swimming crown in 1967 and the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's tennis team tied for the NCAA title in 1981. The men's swimming and tennis teams have also combined to win 11 second place trophies at the NCAA championships. In addition, men's soccer was the NCAA runner-up in 1983. Overall 17 of the 20 CMS sports have competed in the post-season and 13 have finished in the top 12.

In 1995-96 the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics began their Director's Cup Competition for Division III institutions. This competition is similar to the SCIAC All-Sports competition except that points are earned based on national results rather than conference and that there are 430 eligible schools (as of 03-04) instead of eight. CMS finished 30th in 2003-04 and 13th among programs with under 2600 students. Claremont-Mudd-Scripps has finished in the top 60 all nine years of the competition with seven finishes in the top 40, five in the top 30, three in the top 20 and a best of eighth. These have been among the best showings by small colleges and was the best result by a SCIAC school eight of the nine years.
