gochapsgo.com
Dr. Brian Caputo’s unwavering support of Chaparral Athletics has been a constant in his five years at the helm (2019-2024). His advocacy helped bring the Athletic Hall of Fame to fruition in 2019. His consistent presence at athletic events, men’s and women’s, and support of all 21 Chaparral sports teams played a key role in COD’s return to national excellence in the National Junior College Athletic Association. COD has won 11 national championships in five sports since 2021, capped by the College winning the 2022-23 LEARFIELD Directors’ Cup as the nation’s most successful junior college athletic program. His tenure achievements include accomplishing numerous facility improvements to support athletics; introducing the first institutional scholarships to support NJCAA sports teams (men’s and women’s basketball); and the addition of four new athletic teams (women’s golf, men’s volleyball, men’s and women’s lacrosse).
