A Message from Athletic Director Jeffrey L. WileyThere are milestones in each of our lives. The same is true for Jefferson as it celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.Jefferson athletics has a rich 40+ year history of success on the field and off. JCC athletic teams have earned 24 trips tothe National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region III Division III Championship tournament. The men’s andwomen’s basketball teams have collectively won four Regional Championships and in 2008, the Lady Cannoneers soccerteam won its first Regional Championship in the history of the college. Since the Mid-State Athletic Conference wasformed in 1990, JCC has won 19 conference championships and were runners-up 20 times.Several JCC athletes have been recognized as All-Americans, while even more have earned NJCAA All-Region teamstatus. In 2009, Jefferson athletics started a new chapter with the first class of inductees to the new Cannoneer Hall ofFame.As a former Cannoneer, former coach and alumni of the College, I can attest to the commitment of Jefferson Community College to ourstudent athletes. We strive to provide our athletes with the best co-curricular mix and the opportunity to achieve athletic and academicsuccess – a tradition that will continue for the next 50 years.Nominations for Athletic Hall of Fame Due March 31Jefferson is now accepting nominations for its Athletic Hall of Fame.
