We're not in it for the Division III Awards—though we've got plenty. We're in it for the sweat, the teamwork, the leadership. This is what winning means.
Meredith College fields teams in basketball, cross-country,
soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball. 
Meredith athletic teams participate in Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Division III athletics offers student-athletes the opportunity to become well-rounded individuals who successfully integrate athletics and academics. Student-athletes are integrated into the student body, and they experience the full range of college life. Division III athletics feature athletes who can receive only academic financial aid and athletic departments that are staffed and funded like any other department in the college.
Meredith College fully supports the Division III experience that allows the student athlete to enjoy competitive sports and other activities throughout their college years. Enjoyment, love of the sport, and team membership serve as motivation for participation. Athletes follow the same academic requirements and standards as other students.
