Wrestling

[edit]

Wrestling dates to 1968 at Cal State Fullerton. The Titans never won a team championship but boast 31 conference champions, 12 Div. I and 3 Div. II All-Americans and 87 NCAA Div. I national qualifiers including at least one in each of the last 26 seasons. Titan Wrestling competed in Division I in the PAC-10 conference, as the Big West Conference did not support wrestling. Cal State Fullerton's intercollegiate wrestling program was discontinued after 43 years at the conclusion of the 2010–11 season. The program was given the opportunity to continue operating if it could fund its own annual budget. An action was considered at the end of the 2009–10 season, an extensive fund-raising campaign for the 2010–11 season came up short of the $196,145 cash deposited goal by the Aug. 2 deadline.[11] Two former Titan wrestler's include former UFC Bantamweight Champion T.J. Dillashaw and former Pride/Strikeforce/UFC Champion Dan Henderson.

Traditions

[edit]

Mascot

[edit]

As of 1962, a mascot hadn't been chosen to represent the nickname, "Titans".[1] In what began as a practical joke turned into the “First Intercollegiate Elephant Race in Human History.”[1] The event attracted elephants from universities around the United States and even one from England.[1] To publicize the event, an elephant called "Tuffy the Titan" was used and it began appearing on items around campus.[1] A crowd estimated at over 10,000 turned out for the event in Spring 1962.[1] As a result of hosting the race and with no other mascot, the elephant, "Tuffy the Titan", was adopted as the university mascot.[1]

School colors

[edit]

The school colors were chosen as a result of a vote by the student body.[1] The colors chosen were royal blue and white, but the athletic equipment manager at the time of the vote thought orange was appropriate on uniforms for a college then known as Orange County State College.[1] The unofficial color was adopted, but wasn't officially acknowledged by the Athletics Council until 1987.[1] In 1992, a change from royal blue to navy blue was initiated.[1]

Rivalries

[edit]

Because of the proximity to Long Beach State, the schools are considered rivals. The rivalry is especially heated in baseball with the Long Beach State baseball team also having a competitive college baseball program.[16] This of one of few sports where at least two teams from the Big West Conference frequently make the NCAA national tournament.[16] Fullerton also has an intense rivalry with Big West stablemate UC Irvine; the two schools are the only Division I universities in Orange County.[17][18][19]

Program Identity

Conference Affiliation

The Cal State Fullerton Titans athletics program achieved status in the 1974–75 academic year, marking a significant elevation in competitive level for the university's intercollegiate sports. This transition aligned the Titans with higher-profile competition and facilitated their entry into a major conference structure. Upon moving to Division I, Cal State Fullerton joined the Pacific Coast Athletic Association (PCAA) for the 1974–75 season, competing in this conference for most sports including , , and football. The PCAA, established in 1969, provided a regional framework for California-based institutions and expanded to include teams from other states over time. In 1988, the conference underwent a rebranding to the to reflect its growing geographic scope beyond the Pacific Coast, with Cal State Fullerton maintaining continuous membership thereafter for the majority of its varsity programs.

Over 23 seasons from 1970 to 1992, the Titans compiled an overall record of 107-150-3, reflecting a mix of early growth, mid-era highs, and later struggles with only five wins across the final three years. The program played its home games primarily at in Anaheim before moving to the on-campus Titan Stadium in 1991, but attendance and issues persisted amid broader system budget shortfalls.

Facing declining national participation and institutional pressures, the program was eliminated after the 2010–11 season due to severe budget reductions across the system, escalating costs for athletic scholarships, and the inability to replace departing full-time staff. All eight wrestling scholarships were honored through the athletes' remaining eligibility, with transfers encouraged to other programs. Post-discontinuation, alumni like J.D. Hawkins—a two-time conference champion wrestler from the who served nearly 40 years as an assistant coach—have remained deeply involved, training daily and advocating for revival efforts.
