Athletics

ICC is a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association (Region XIII). The school fields teams in seven sports, four for men (baseball, basketball, wrestling, and American football) and three for women (softball, volleyball, and basketball). In 2000, men's basketball replaced men's ice hockey as a varsity sport. Teams compete in the Minnesota Community College Conference. At the NJCAA National Wrestling Championship held in Rochester, Minnesota on February 22–24, 2007, heavyweight Chris Miller became ICC's first national champion.
