» For the sixth consecutive year, the Columbia College Athletics Department won the American Midwest Conference (AMC) Presidents’ Cup.

The Presidents’ Cup is awarded to the institution accumulating the most points, determined by final regular-season standings or the final results from the AMC Championship for cross country, wrestling, golf and track & field. CC competed in 15 of the 16 conference sports and brought home eight first-place finishes.

“This year it took some clutch performances late from our spring sports to secure the Cup for another year,” Columbia College Director of Athletics James Arnold says. “I’m so very proud of all our student-athletes, coaches, athletic trainers, sports information staff and the entire Cougar community.” –ND
