Unmatched
Tradition
With more than 140 years of tradition, Gopher Athletics is one of the oldest and most decorated athletics departments in the country. As a founding member of the Big Ten Conference, our teams have won 259 conference titles and 29 national titles.
While our history is rich with success, our current teams and more than 600 student-athletes are adding to that legacy, leaving their own mark on the Maroon and Gold to be remembered for years to come. Every accomplishment is a testament to those who invest in their success.
