History of Success

2019 Golf Region Champs


The Raiders have been a part of the Michigan Community College Athletic Association Conference since the 1926-27 season.  The MCCAA used to be the MJCAA until the 1960's. 

Since 1969, the Raiders have won 24 Conference titles, 12 MCCAA titles, 10 Region titles and have participated in 20 National Championships as either a team or individual.  This success includes having won 16 straight Conference Titles (2009-2025) and participating in every National Championship (either as an entire team or individual) since 2013.  

The NJCAA National Tournament began in 1959 as an Invitational. In 1968 it was known as the National Championship and teams had to qualify. Brian Hudley placed the highest of any Raider in nationals when in 1991 he finished third.  Brandon Meyaard (8th), Alex Fleming (9th) and Jerud Joynt (9th) also finished inside the top-10. 

There was no spring season in 2020 due to Covid-19 and there was no MCCAA champion crowned in 2024.

The Raider golf program has had numerous individuals receive post season honors every year including 10 NJCAA Athletic All-American's.  For a complete list of all individual post season awards, click here.
