NORTHERN STATE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS

Northern State Athletics has a rich history of success both on and off the field of play. Since the first South Dakota State Championship in 1906-07, in men's basketball, the Wolves have compiled over 130 State and Conference Champions. The Wolves have also recorded numerous individual conference titles in cross country, track and field, and swimming. The athletic department has grown along with the school from Northern Normal in the early 1900s, competing throughout the state of South Dakota, to Northern State University today, competing in the Northern Sun Conference at the NCAA Division II level. A full list of team and individual conference champions can be found below.
