"Our student-athletes did a great job during the fall semester and have set an amazing precedent for semesters to come, achieving an overall department grade point average of 3.30,” Athletic Director Nick Weinmeister said.

The NICC dance team competed at their first competition in program history on Dec. 4 at the Iowa State College Championships in Des Moines. The Cougars received a Division I rating, which means they scored high enough to be a top scoring divisional team.
Student-athletes arrived at Northeast Iowa Community College’s (NICC) campus in the middle of August, and this was the official start for Cougar athletics programs.
