Simon Fraser Clan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Simon Fraser Clan are the athletic teams that represent Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.

SFU's teams formerly played in the United States National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for all sports. In 2000, Simon Fraser sought to join the U.S. NCAA as a Division II school, but was turned down.[1] After this, SFU decided in 2002 to partially transfer to Canadian Interuniversity Sport. Before the transfer, SFU did not compete in Canadian football, instead playing American football. SFU currently competes in the following sports (affiliations included):

SFU is the only school to have finished in the top five of the NAIA division of the NACDA Director's Cup, an award given to the top overall college sports program in the United States, in each year since the award was first given to NAIA schools in 1996. The Clan won the NAIA Cup consecutively from 1997 through 2001, and again in 2004. The last win was especially impressive because it occurred after SFU partially transferred to CIS.

Oddly, the SFU Clan holds the NAIA record for most All-Americans and U.S. National Champions (individual).[citation needed]
