Delaware Technical Community College-Terry Athletics

Delaware Technical Community College-Terry competes in NAIA athletics, which represents a mid-level between major college sports and purely recreational programs. The Roadrunners field teams in 7 varsity sports with just 90 total athletes, meaning less than 1% of the 11,012-student body participates in athletics. The athletic department distributes $107,125 in scholarships across all sports. NAIA schools typically emphasize balancing academics with competitive athletics while maintaining smaller budgets than Division I programs. Community college athletics often serve as stepping stones for student-athletes looking to transfer to four-year universities. The Roadrunners compete against other regional NAIA institutions, though sports culture remains secondary to the college's primary mission of workforce development and transfer preparation.
