Cougar Tradition
The track and field program has a competitive history. The men’s and women’s teams have finished in the top three on eleven occasions in the past 15 years. Clackamas athletes do well while at CCC and beyond. Clackamas alumni have performed at the NCAA Championships with a champion in the women's vault, third in the men's decathlon and seventh in the women's javelin just to name a few. Our alumni have also earned Western Athletic Conference Men's Athlete of the Year, Great Northwest Athletic Conference Men's Athlete of the Year, twelfth place in the men's 5000 at US Nationals (13:50), and sixth place at the Nike Cross Country Team Nationals (finishing just behind Adam Goucher).
