There are more than 600 student-athletes and nearly 300 full-time employees in our athletics department. That community has built Minnesota into a nation's top-ranked public school with respect to student-athlete academic performance in each of the past four years, a span of time during which the Gophers have won 13 conference team titles and a collection of individual conference and national crowns.

We are proud of our decorated history, but we are prepared to achieve even greater success in the years to come. Ski-U-Mah!
