Ohlone College Athletics

The Renegades compete independently across 12 varsity sports with 154 total athletes, making up just 2.2% of the 6,958-student body. Independent status means Ohlone doesn't belong to a specific conference and schedules games individually with other community colleges. The school offers no athletic scholarships, typical for California community colleges that focus on academics and workforce development over big-time sports. Most athletes use sports as a pathway to four-year universities or personal fitness goals rather than pursuing athletic careers. The relatively small athletic program reflects Ohlone's mission as a transfer-focused institution where students prioritize academics. With such a diverse student body that's 43% Asian and 25% Hispanic, the Renegades draw from the Bay Area's multicultural talent pool.
