The SECCC had a very successful weekend at Mountain Bike Nationals in Angel Fire, New Mexico this past weekend. The SECCC kept the D2 omnium in the conference for the 3rd straight year, this time going to Union College after Brevard won the award in 2009 & 2010. Other teams also did very well:
D1 (Lees McRae (4th), Florida (12th), Tennessee (34th))
D2 (Warren Wilson (2nd), Mars Hill (5th), Brevard (6th), Cumberland (13th), ETSU (14th), Milligan (20th))
Individual National Champions from the SECCC were Kerry Werner (LMC, D1 Ind Omnium) and Eva Wilson (WWC, D2 Ind Omnium).

The Southeastern Collegiate Cycling Conference was established to support collegiate cycling in the Southeast United States. The conference is made up of schools from Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and a few schools in North Carolina. The SECCC is one of 11 conferences in the United States that make up the National Collegiate Cycling Association (NCCA). The NCCA administers, develops, promotes, and governs collegiate cycling across the country. The NCCA is a standing committee of USA Cycling.

Eash school can become an NCCA club or team, regardless of size, and regardless of whether the school intends to compete in collegiate events or not. Today, there are over 200 registered collegiate cycling clubs that are registered with the NCCA, representing over 2,500 athletes.
