West Coast Conference A tradition of academic and athletic excellence.

The West Coast Conference was formed in 1952 to provide a convenient venue for five San Francisco Bay Area schools to compete in basketball. Since that modest beginning, the Conference has evolved and grown to become a nationally recognized and competitive force in intercolleg iate athletics, with 13 league-sponsored sports: baseball; both men's and women's basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, and tennis; and women 's volleyball and crew.

The eight wee members span the weste rn coast of the United States, from t he pine forests of Eastern Washington, to t he Columbia River Basin, to the dynamic San Francisco Bay Area, to the sunny beaches of Southern Cal ifornia. The Conference is characterized by the stability of its membership - only two conferences have been together longer - and its unique emphasis on combining excellence in athletics with excellence in academics. The Conference recognizes championships in each of its sports, has hosted NCAA championship events, and produced 33 NCAA individual or team champions. And, many outstanding wee student-athletes have gone on to excel in professional sports.

The long and rich history of the WCC demonstrates that success in intercollegiate athletics can be built on the foundation of va lues, character, and academics.
