[edit] History
Indian Hills Community College (IHCC) was formed by the consolidation of three previously existing post-secondary education institutions: Iowa Tech-Area XV Community College, Centerville Community College, and Ottumwa Heights College. The main campus is located in Ottumwa, encompassing all of the former Ottumwa Heights faciities plus several other buildings added since the consolidation. Included are residential halls, Advance Technology Center, and the Hellyer Student Center, where the IHCC Warriors basketball team plays.
[edit] Athletics
Indian Hills participates in the National Junior College Athletic Association in the following sports.[1]
- Women: Volleyball, soccer, softball, and cross country.
- Men: Basketball, baseball, soccer, golf, and cross country.
The men's baseketball team pulled off a "three-peat" in the late 1990s, winning the NJCAA National Championship back-to-back-to-back in 1997, 1998, and 1999. The Indian Hills men's golf team also won an NCJAA Championship in 2000 and 2011.
All teams use "Warriors" as a mascot/name except for the baseball team, which uses "Falcons", an homage to their past heritage as Centerville Junior College. The baseball team has made eleven trips to the Junior College World Series.[2]
