Dodge City Community College Athletics

The Conquistadors compete in NJCAA athletics, which serves as the competitive level for community colleges nationwide. About 27% of Dodge City's 1,200 students participate in varsity athletics across 16 different sports. The college invests heavily in athletics with $1.16 million in athletic scholarships distributed among 320 athletes. NJCAA competition allows these student-athletes to showcase their talents while pursuing two-year degrees, often serving as a stepping stone to four-year universities. The athletic program reflects the school's agricultural heritage, with rodeo being a particularly strong tradition in this historic cattle town. Housing capacity of 370 students helps accommodate out-of-state recruits who make up nearly half the student body.
