History Washburn
The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, a 11-member conference of NCAA Division II institutions in Missouri and Kansas, was first organized in 1912 as the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Over the past 20 years, the league has undergone several changes, highlighted by increased participation in national championships. The MIAA has gained the reputation of being one of the top NCAA Division II conferences in the nation. MIAA student-athletes have won 14 national team championships and more than 100 individual national titles. The MIAA currently conducts conference championships in eight men’s and eight women’s sports. Men’s championships include football, cross country, basketball, indoor and outdoor track and field, baseball, tennis, and golf. Women’s champions are determined in volleyball, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor and outdoor track and field, softball and tennis. On Sept. 20, 2010, Dr. Bob Boerigter became the fourth full-time MIAA Commissioner replacing Jim Johnson who spent three years as the league’s commissioner. Boerigter spent nine years as the athletic director at Northwest Missouri State. Johnson resigned to become the athletic director at Pittsburg State. Amber Feldman joined the MIAA offices as Assistant Commissioner for Compliance in August 2010. Larry House started in the summer of 2007 assisting the MIAA in the marketing of the conference events. Kellen Coleman started in the summer of 2009 as the director of communications overseeing media relations for the conference.
