National Championships
Johns Hopkins has won a total of 50 national team championships since the school fielded its first intercollegiate athletic team in 1882. Of the 50, 44 have been won by the Blue Jay men's lacrosse team, while three belong to the men's swimming team and three to the women's cross country team.
The women's cross country team claims the last three national championships for Johns Hopkins as the Blue Jays took home the walnut & bronze in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Hopkins grabbed four top-30 finishes, led by sophomore Hannah Oneda's fourth place finish, as the Blue Jays became the first team to win three straight since SUNY Cortland claimed four in a row from 1992 to 1995.
The record of success of the Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse team is as impressive as it is long. The Blue Jays won six ILA National Championships between 1891 and 1903 before taking 29 USILA Championships from 1929 through 1970.
The NCAA began sponsoring the men's lacrosse championship in 1971 and Johns Hopkins has since won nine national championships under the NCAA's banner. In 1978 and 1979, Johns Hopkins won the NCAA championship in men's swimming in the winter and added an NCAA title in men's lacrosse in the spring.
While only men's lacrosse, men's swimming and women's cross country have won that elusive title, Johns Hopkins is a regular contender for the national championship in several sports. Since 1990, the Blue Jay football, baseball, men's soccer, women's lacrosse, women's soccer, men's swimming, women's swimming, women's cross country, men's tennis, women's tennis and field hockey teams have all finished in the top eight in the nation.
