Big Bend Community College Athletics

Big Bend fields six varsity sports with 109 total athletes, representing about 8.5% of the 1,281-student body. The Vikings compete at the NJCAA level, which means mid-tier competition among community colleges with some athletic scholarships available. The school distributes $396,974 in athletic scholarships across its teams. As a community college in rural Washington, Big Bend emphasizes sports as both competitive outlets and pathways to four-year transfers for student-athletes. The athletic programs serve the local Moses Lake community while providing opportunities for students who may not have had Division I or II recruitment coming out of high school. With only 200 students living on campus, game attendance relies heavily on local support rather than a traditional college sports atmosphere.
