With growing programs — softball and baseball competing in the spring 2023 NEPSAC playoffs, and football winning the Drew Gamere Bowl championship — many of CA’s programs are growing in talent and demand. In the 2022-2023 academic year, nearly 40% of student-athletes committed to playing at the collegiate level.
