About TLU Athletics

• Texas Lutheran sponsors 14 varsity sports -- eight for women and six for men.
   
• All sports compete at the NCAA Division III level and in the American Southwest Conference.
     
• Texas Lutheran has won eight national championships -- one NCAA Division III title in women's track and field (indoor 4x400 meter relay), two NAIA-II titles in football, two AIAW-II titles in volleyball, two NAIA individual titles in men's golf and one NAIA individual title in women's golf.
   
• The athletics program has three goals: every student who completes his or her eligibility is expected to graduate, each sport should aspire to be competitive at the national level and an efficient and cost-effective support system for the operation of the existing athletics program should be developed and maintained.
  

Since joining the NCAA Division III and the American Southwest Conference in 1999, these honors have been achieved by TLU Athletics teams and student-athletes:
