Women’sBasketball 2017-18 3 Triton College President Welcome and thank you for your interest in Athletics at Triton College. If you’re reading this, you are probably a sports enthusiast like me and can appre - ciate the value of athletics in higher education. Triton, too, values the role of Mary-Rita Moore athletics in the collegiate experience for both the student-athlete and the college community as a whole. You’ll find me and my staff in the bleachers from time to time cheering on the Trojans and I encourage support of our athletes and teams among the student body, college employees, and throughout the commu - nities we serve. The Triton Athletics Program is widely respected for producing All- Americans and Academic All-Americans from every sport, as well as champi - onship teams and individuals in conference, regional, and national tourna - ments! The variety of sports offered for student-athletes to engage in intercol - legiate competition is an integral part of our learning environment and allows students to accomplish their athletic as well as educational goals. Many Triton Trojans are recruited and transfer to university teams, and we’ve had a number go on to professional sports. Whatever a student’s interests or goals, Triton is here to support them on their path to success. All the best for a great season!
