Athletics
Athletics teams from Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College and Scripps College compete as one team. Male athletic teams are called the Stags, and women's teams are called the Athenas. The teams participate in the NCAA's Division III and in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC). Pomona College and Pitzer College compete together in the SCIAC. Their team is called the Sagehens.
In addition to the Stag/Athenas and the Sagehens, there are several prominent 5C club sports teams, including roller hockey, men's and women's rugby union, both of whom attended Division II Nationals in 2004 and 2006, with women's team winning the Division II national championship in 2010, men's lacrosse, field hockey, crew, cycling, women's ultimate, who attended Nationals in 2004 and 2011, and men's ultimate frisbee, 2008 Southern California Sectional champions and 2011 Division III National champions.
Additionally, the Claremont Men's Volleyball Club had its inaugural season in 2007. Despite its novelty, it proved to be one of the most successful clubs this season, finishing in 5th place out of 48 Division II teams at the National Championship in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Claremont Roller Hockey Club has also been one of the more successful Claremont Consortium clubs, winning the Division 3 Championship of the WCRHL (West Coast Roller Hockey League) in both 2009-2010 and 2010-2011.
