With the help and support of our fans, member institutions, administrators, coaches and student-athletes, the CCIW enters the 2011-12 academic year as its 66th season of competition, 26th for women’s sports. The North Central women’s cross country team enters this season as the two-time defending conference champions, having won this event six times. The North Central men have won every CCIW championship dating back to 1974. The CCIW, recognized as one of the “Best Small-College Conferences in the Nation,” has seen its share of success throughout its time, with 42 NCAA Division III National Championships in 12 different sports won by our member schools. Since the 1991-92 academic year, the CCIW has remained consistent in its membership with eight academically superior institutions, including Augustana, Carthage, Elmhurst, Illinois Wesleyan, Millikin, North Central, North Park and Wheaton. In 2007, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, located in Terre Haute, Ind., joined the CCIW as an associate member for men’s and women’s swimming. The CCIW, which sponsors 21 sports, has carried a long tradition of excellence dating back to its inception in 1946, helping student-athletes grow in their athletic as well as educational experience. The CCIW looks to continue that tradition and remains dedicated to helping our student-athletes towards success.

College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin History Entering its 66th season in 2011-12, the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) enjoys a reputation as the “Best Small-College Conference in the Nation.” In NCAA Division III competition, CCIW schools have accounted for 42 national championships, including 13 in men’s cross country, six in men’s basketball, six in men’s outdoor track and field, four in football, three in women’s soccer and men’s indoor track and field, women’s outdoor track & field, two in men’s soccer and one apiece in women’s basketball, baseball and women’s indoor track and field. Elmhurst College won a pair of NCAA Division III Volleyball Championships (1983 and 1985), and North Central College won a women’s basketball title (1983) before the conference began sponsorship of women’s athletics in 1986-87. North Central men’s cross country won its 13th national title in program history during the fall of 2009, while the North Central men’s indoor track & field team captured the 2010 national championship. The Cardinals made it clean sweep by winning the men’s outdoor track & field title in the spring of 2010. In addition, the Illinois Wesleyan women’s outdoor track & field team, as well as the baseball team, took home national titles, giving the CCIW five national championships during the 2009-10 season. North Central defended its titles in men’s indoor track & field and outdoor track & field in 2011. In 2004-05, the Wheaton women’s soccer team and the Millikin women’s basketball team added two more titles as both won their respective national championship. Wheaton women’s soccer won two more national titles in the 2006 and 2007 seasons while Illinois Wesleyan picked up the title in both women’s indoor track and field and women’s outdoor track and field in the spring of 2008. The conference was formed with nine charter members (Augustana, Carthage, Elmhurst, Illinois College, Illinois Wesleyan, Lake Forest, Millikin, North Central and Wheaton) on April 26, 1946, in Jacksonville, Ill., and opened competition in the 1946-47 academic year as the College Conference of Illinois. In 1967, the name was changed to the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin to recognize Carthage, which moved to Kenosha, Wis., in 1962, and Carroll, which entered the conference in 1955. Carthage left the conference in 1952, but returned in 1961. The CCIW sponsors 21 sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s indoor track & field, men’s and women’s outdoor track & field, volleyball and wrestling. As is often the case with athletic conferences, CCIW membership has experienced several changes since its inception. After Carthage left in 1952, Illinois College withdrew the following year. Elmhurst and Wheaton withdrew following the 1959-60 academic year. Wheaton rejoined for all sports but football in 1967 and for football in 1970. Elmhurst rejoined in the fall of 1967 for all sports but football and for football in the 1968 season. Carroll joined officially with the 1955 spring sports seasons. Carthage returned in the fall of 1961, and North Park entered the following fall. Lake Forest dropped out at the end of the 1962-63 season. The last member to leave the CCIW was Carroll following the 1991-92 season. In 2007, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, located in Terre Haute, Ind., joined the CCIW as an associate member for men’s and women’s swimming. Now eight members and one associate member strong, the CCIW continues its tradition of athletic and academic excellence. 1
