1. 2002: The Huskies men's Cross Country tied with Mt. San Antonio College's men's Track & Field for best in conference that year. The Mounties edged the Husky green for the conference title by a team score of 45-39.
2. 2014-2015: Men's Basketball took the crown. Coach Mosley's squad beat several higher-ranked teams to finish as the runner-up to the CCCAA State Title.
3. 2015-2016: Coach Bruce Turner's women's basketball squad tied with Mt. SAC's women's basketball that year. Both teams were the last two standing in the State playoffs that year, with the Mounties narrowly edging the Huskies 57-55 for the State Title.
