Iowa Western Captures 2nd Daktronics and Directors' Cup

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa - The National Alliance of Two-Year College Athletic Administrators (NATYCAA) announced this week that Iowa Western is the 2021-22 NJCAA Scholarship Division Daktronics Cup Champions for overall program excellence in two-year college athletics.

Iowa Western Scored 189 points behind national championship victories in men's soccer, volleyball, women's indoor and outdoor track & field, second-place finishes in football men's cross country, and men's outdoor track & field, and third-place finishes in women's golf and men's outdoor track & field to claim the top spot.

The Reivers have also earned the top spot in the standings of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Learfield Directors' Cup for two-year colleges.  "Iowa Western is very excited and honored to be receiving the Learfield Cup for the junior college division this year," said Iowa Western Athletic Director Shane Larson. "This is by far one of the best seasons in Iowa Western Reiver athletics history.  It has been a fun ride for all of us here at Iowa Western and we're looking forward to starting all over again in a month and trying to do this all over again."

The Reivers scored 192 points, in a competition that includes the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA), and were 12 points clear of second-place Mt. San Antonio College (CA).  This is the second time in school history that Iowa Western has claimed each trophy, the first season for both awards coming after the 2013-14 season.
