The James Madison University Dukes (JMU) is the name given to the athletics teams of James Madison University, in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The name "Dukes" is derived from Samuel Page Duke, the university's second president. JMU is a charter member of the Colonial Athletic Association, which sponsors sports at the NCAA Division I level. In football, JMU participates in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) of Division I, formerly known as Division I-AA. The university mascot, Duke Dog, is frequently seen at all sporting events, and the school colors are royal purple and gold. JMU has won two NCAA national championships, tied for third most among Virginia colleges and universities. JMU's women's athletics tradition is among the oldest in the nation, dating nearly back to the institution's founding in 1908. Strong intercollegiate programs for women have been in place at the university since the early 1920s, and JMU was among the first of the nation's institutions to provide well-rounded overall intercollegiate offerings for females. Men's athletics began at JMU during the late 1940s, and a comprehensive program for men began evolving in the late 1960s when the university became fully coeducational. ==Teams== Men's sports * Baseball * Basketball * Football * Golf * Soccer * Tennis Women's sports * Basketball * Cross country * Field hockey * Golf * Lacrosse * Track & Field (Indoor) * Track & Field (Outdoor) * Soccer * Softball * Swimming & Diving * Tennis * Volleyball 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Madison Dukes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
