      Jumbos Rising

      Since 2010, Tufts has become a sports powerhouse. The Jumbos have won nine national championships, in men’s lacrosse, softball, men’s soccer, and field hockey, as well as nine individual titles, in swimming, tennis, and track. Women’s basketball, meanwhile, has reached four straight Final Fours and two title games. Just last month, the men’s swimming and diving team won its first-ever conference championship. Even football, barely three years removed from a thirty-one-game losing streak, has transformed itself into a NESCAC stalwart. We look at the people, programs, and on- and off-field decisions that, taken together, tell the story of the stunning rise of Tufts athletics.
