Centralia College Athletics

Centralia College fields 8 varsity teams with 154 total athletes, meaning about 10% of students compete at the intercollegiate level. The Trailblazers compete at the NAIA level, which sits between major college athletics and recreational sports programs, offering moderate athletic scholarships and regional competition. The college awards $108,516 in athletic scholarships annually across all sports. As a community college in a town-distant setting with just 1,476 students, athletics serve more as a community-building activity than a major campus draw. The relatively small athletic program reflects the school's primary focus as a transfer institution and workforce training center. With limited on-campus housing for just 110 students, game attendance likely consists mainly of local community members rather than a large student body cheering section.
