In so many ways the 2023-24 athletic season was the most successful in the 99 year history of Trinidad State College. TSC sent 13 teams into NJCAA National Competitions and competed with the top teams in the country. The Trojans tallied a National Title, a National Runner-Up and three other top-10 NJCAA finishes. The TSC teams won five Region 9 Titles and had four individual NJCAA National Champions. We had 30 All-Americans and 66 All-Academic awards.
Here is a quick look back at the amazing year we had...
