Welcome!
“The Division II National Championship Festival is an ideal example of how intercollegiate athletics can enhance the educational experience of student-athletes by building community – in this case a number of sports platforms.” – NCAA president Myles Brand
The University of Houston is proud to host the 2009 NCAA Division II Winter National Championships Festival! During this Olympic-type event, more than 800 student-athletes will battle for NCAA titles in men’s and women’s track and field, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, and wrestling.
The festival will be held over a five day period, all events hosted in Houston, Texas. The primary goal of this festival is to enhance the student-athlete collegiate experience and, at the same time, create awareness and exposure for Division II sports by hosting multiple championships in a specified time period at one specific location.
Feel free to browse the web site and keep checking in for updates as the festival approaches!
