History of the Eagles

The American Eagles have a long and storied history in NCAA sports. From their first season in 1947 to today, they’ve had plenty of success on the field, court, and track.

The Eagles have won three conference championships – two outright titles–and four bowl appearances in football alone. They also made it to six consecutive FCS playoffs from 2006-2011 with an impressive run that included back-to-back national championship game appearances in 2010 and 2011 (the only times they’ve ever done so). The team has boasted some truly great players at this level, including NFL Hall of Fame inductee Art Monk who played for them between 1975–77 before heading off to professional glory with the Washington Redskins.

In basketball, there is much success for fans to cheer about; since joining Division I play (in 2003), American has appeared twice each in both NIT tournaments & NCAA Tournaments while winning five regular season conference titles along the way! Most recently, they claimed a share of their fourth CAA title last year while making it all the way up into March Madness, where unfortunately, they were knocked out by eventual Final Four participant Oregon Ducks during second-round action at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena - but still put together quite an impressive showing nonetheless!

Finally, when we look at track & field then again, one can see how competitively successful this program has been: since joining Division I athletics back in 2009, not only did 2013 mark just their third full outdoor campaign, but already within that short period span managed to make two separate trips East Regionals Championships; most notably coming away from 2012 competition having secured nine top ten finishes across various events ranging sprinting distances through hurdles throws shotputs javelins etcetera... This consistency shows how dedicated coaches and staff are to ensure athletes receive the best possible training preparation for the highest levels of collegiate sport available today!

These combined successes make it straightforward why so many sports fans proudly support American Eagles throughout any academic year - no matter what particular discipline may be involved or outcome achieved on the playing surface… Go Birds!!
