Athletics
RCSJ fields two distinct intercollegiate athletics programs—Roadrunners at the Gloucester campus and Dukes at the Cumberland campus plus our Unified Sports program.
Competing in NJCAA Region XIX and the Garden State Athletic Conference (GSAC), RCSJ’s Roadrunners and Dukes athletics support a comprehensive, non-scholarship Division III program of 28 sports teams across both campuses. The Roadrunners have earned national recognition, including multiple Learfield Sports Directors’ Cups as the top junior college athletics program in the nation.
RCSJ’s Unified Sports program provides year-round training and athletic competition for students with intellectual disabilities. This program promotes social inclusion through shared sports training and competitive experiences.
Cumberland Dukes
The Dukes represent RCSJ–Cumberland in NJCAA Region XIX and the Garden State Athletic Conference (GSCA), fielding competitive teams in men’s and women’s cross-country, track & field, golf, basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, and volleyball. The program has steadily grown in both participation and success, recently capturing a Region XIX Championship and expanding its reach with inclusive initiatives such as Unified Sports. The Dukes have a strong commitment to athletic excellence and campus engagement—fostering student-athlete development and school spirit through competitive athletics.

Gloucester Roadrunners
The Roadrunners compete in a full array of men’s and women’s sports including baseball, basketball, tennis, cross country, track & field, golf, soccer, softball, volleyball, and wrestling. They’ve captured numerous NJCAA Division III national championships in baseball (including three consecutive titles by 2025), tennis, wrestling, track & field, and more. The program has twice won the Learfield Cup—most recently in 2023–24—as the top non-scholarship two-year college in the nation. RCSJ is notable as the only non-scholarship program to earn that honor.
