Jimmie sports have been a staple of great culture and passion over the 2022-2023 season. The competition, hard work, and excitement around each sport this year have been ingrained into this school. A solid college season in sports can be a thrilling experience for players and fans alike. It takes an immense amount of hard work and dedication to reach a level of success at the college level, and those accomplishments of a great season can be very rewarding. Jamestown has a rich history of athletic team success, from basketball to football, volleyball to wrestling, and hockey to baseball; each team this season has shown to be a successful program.

A big part of all Jimmy sports is the sense of community and camaraderie it fosters among all student-athletes. Many of the different sports at Jamestown are composed of students from diverse backgrounds, which creates many memorable connections between athletes; this also amps up the skills we see from team to team. Further, from the start to the end of the season, each sport here at UJ has proven why they deserve to be at the top in their divisions and even as contenders for the top of the league. As for some sports like women’s hockey, this was the first time the program has had a women’s team, and for the first time in program history they had a solid year beating some of the best teams in the league; they did fall short of making nationals, but they paved a solid start for years to come.  

UJ sports have a rich history of success and have produced many talented athletes. The university continues to invest in its athletic programs, as the school plans to build a new athletic complex that will be perfect for all outdoor sports during the winter season. With this investment and continued commitment, UJ sports are sure to continue to thrive in the years to come. If we look back at all the sports over the past two semesters, as students and faculty we can see how each sport gives a component of culture and identity to the school and creates a strong community that is very much connected. Overall, I know personally as an athlete on the men’s hockey team that I am super excited for next season to see what we can bring to the plate, so I would imagine that like myself many others would feel the same about their seasons.
