The University of Kentucky is a founding
member of the Southeastern Conference. The Kentucky's sports teams
(nicknamed the Wildcats) include football, men's & women's basketball,
women's volleyball, baseball, softball, men's & women's cross country,
men's & women's swimming/diving, women's gymnastics, men's & women's
soccer, men's & women's track & field (indoor & outdoor), men's &
women's golf, men's & women's tennis, and the coeducational sport of
rifle.
Because the SEC does not sponsor men's soccer, that team had competed in
the Mid-American Conference. However, in 2005, the program jumped to
Conference USA, along with fellow SEC member South Carolina, who had
also been part of the former Metro Conference (the predecessor to
C-USA). The soccer team didnt enjoy there best season in 2005 however
this year (2006) they are looking to compete for the national
championship. With many incoming freshman looking to make a big impact.
The University of Kentucky cheerleaders have won the UCA Division I-A
Cheerleading Championship 15 times, more than any other school.
The school's basketball team is the winningest program in Division I
college basketball with over 1,974 victories, seven national
championships(the only school with more is UCLA with 11), forty-six NCAA
tournament appearances, runner-up three times, 13 Final Fours, and 28
