Westminster University Athletics

Westminster competes in NCAA Division II, a level that balances competitive athletics with academic focus and offers athletic scholarships without the intense pressure of Division I. The Griffins field 13 varsity sports with 212 total athletes, meaning about 24% of the 882-student body participates in varsity athletics. The school distributes $1.41 million in athletic scholarships across its teams. Westminster belongs to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, competing against regional schools like Colorado School of Mines and Fort Lewis College. The intimate campus size creates strong support for Griffin athletics, with the small student body allowing most students to know team members personally. Division II athletics here emphasize both competitive excellence and the complete college experience, fitting the liberal arts mission of developing well-rounded graduates.
