A local technical college is expanding its extracurricular offerings.

Blackhawk Technical College is now a member of the National Junior College Athletics Association and set to compete in Region 4 at the Division II level.

BTC will offer men’s golf and coed clay target shooting this spring, women’s volleyball and coed bowling in the fall, and men’s and women’s basketball in late 2024.

To oversee and lead Blackhawk Athletics, the college has hired Todd Voss as a part-time athletic director. He will work with a team of coaches and spearhead the recruitment of student-athletes.

The bowling team practices at RiversEdge Bowl in Janesville. The men’s golf team will use Riverside Golf Course as its home course this spring, and the clay target shooting team will work closely with the Janesville Conservation Club. The volleyball team and the basketball teams will use Blackhawk’s new gymnasium in the Public Safety Center, which is set to open in August.
