Westminster College has a long history of success in intercollegiate athletics. The Blue Jays rose to prominence in the early 1900s under the guidance of coaches Jim Pixlee and Brutus Hamilton. Missouri coaching legends Henry "Hank" Iba and Tom Botts played collegiately at Westminster and paved the way for major leaguers such as Fulton's own Arnold "Bake" McBride.
A long-time power in the Missouri College Athletic Union (MCAU) and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), Westminster now competes on the Division III level of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and is a member of the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. |
