Support CSU Bakersfield Athletics

• Champions made in the classroom: Our scholar-athletes are leaders among their peers, having achieved a department GPA of 3.0 or higher in 10 consecutive semesters.
• Champions made in the community: Our scholar-athletes give back to the community, devoting more than 3,000 hours to community service projects throughout Kern County last year.
• Champions made in competition: Our scholar-athletes have a proud history of winning, with 7 conference championships, 352 individual WAC honors, 400 Academic All-WAC honors, 65 DI All-American honors, and 30 DII National Championships.
• As we make the transition to the Big West Conference, we expect this winning tradition to continue, but it's going to require us all to do more than we have in the past. It's going to take 110% commitment from all ‘Runners. With your contribution, you can make a difference in the lives of CSUB scholar-athletes, helping them succeed in the classroom, give back to the community, and elevate our standings in competition.
