Chris Brandt ’85 P’14 P’18 says CMC Athletics changed his life

The only thing sweeter than savoring the highest highs of victory as a college athlete? Seeing your son extend those triumphs even further. For Chris Brandt ’85 P’14 P’18, his time as a basketball player and golfer influenced everything about his CMC experience—and beyond.

The 1987-88 year was a first, as CMS won all three SCIAC All-Sports trophies

The Claremont-Mudd-Scripps athletic department has made a habit of placing bulk orders for SCIAC trophies. The Stags and Athenas have won 343 SCIAC titles, almost 100 more than any other SCIAC institution, despite getting a late start with their first year coming in 1958-59, more than 40 years after the Bulldogs, Poets, Tigers and Sagehens were up and running.

The new complex became home to football and men's track and field

By 1954, Claremont Men’s College student-athletes had been competing with Pomona in athletics for seven years, but the wheels were already visibly in motion to allow CMC to split from the Sagehens and form its own athletic department on the North side of Sixth Street.
