Maryland Junior College Athletic Conference
The Maryland Junior College Athletic Conference (MD JUCO) is a sports league for Maryland’s community colleges that compete in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), Region 20. Founded in the late 1960s, it has 17 full member schools, most of them public, all located in Maryland. The league is based in Baltimore, Maryland, and the commissioner is Greg Witkop.
MD JUCO offers 17 sports: 8 for men and 9 for women. It runs several awards, including the Presidents’ Cup (a points-based trophy for overall performance; as of the 2010-11 season, awarded separately for men’s and women’s teams) and the Sportsmanship Award. There are also academic honors, such as the Student-Athlete of the Month and the All-Academic Team (students with a GPA of 3.6 or higher). Each sport has All-MD JUCO first and second teams.
Member schools can qualify for the NJCAA Region 20 championships in their sport. MD JUCO teams also compete against the Pennsylvania Collegiate Athletic Association in regional play, and regional winners advance to the NJCAA national tournament. MD JUCO schools have earned 26 national championships.
