Intercollegiate and intramural athletics have always
been an important aspect of the University of California experience,
and individual and team sports are a UC tradition among students
and alumni. Athletic competition is an important complement to the
rigors of academics and is a vital connection for UC alumni, prospective
students and their parents, and nearby communities.
UC students have been engaged in athletics from the university's
inception. The sports in the university's earliest days included
rugby, football and baseball. Nowadays, most UC campuses field women's
and men's teams in major and minor sports, with many of the teams
securing national rankings.
UC alumni have gone on to play professionally in major sports such
as football, basketball and baseball, and large numbers of UC
student
athletes and alumni have represented the U.S. and other countries
in the pinnacle of athletic competition, the Olympics.
UC sent more athletes to the 2004 Summer Games than many countries. Historically, participants with UC connections have performed well in these international competitions: in 2004, 35 medallists had UC ties.
