Allen’s athletic department continues to raise its profile within junior college athletics in a changing wider landscape of college sports. With everything the last year has presented, some athletic departments are feeling the heat. At Allen Community College, they are feeling a boom.
“The state of Allen athletics is pretty good,” said ACC Athletic Director Doug Desmarteau. “We are in one of the best spots competitively that we have been in. We have nationally ranked teams, and we have teams going to the national tournaments in the last few years.”
Last season, the women’s soccer team made it to the national tournament and Elka Billings won third in the NJCAA National cross country meet.
