Welcome Day was special welcoming back 500+ athletes and our 2026 Mustangs!

We are excited to get started on the 2026 season! The road ahead will take hard work and a growth mindset to reload with 16 newcomers to the program.

Our Delta Athletic Department put on a show, handing out gear, raffle prizes, and feeding our athletes. There was so much to celebrate, including the success of our women’s athletic teams!

Our Women’s Basketball team was honored for winning the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP last spring! 🏆🏆🏆

Even more exciting, our women’s sports programs ranked #1 in Northern California overall and #3 in the state!

So much to be proud of and so much to look forward to!

Congratulations to our 2026 graduate and now Alumni Aliya Tipton for committing to University of Providence to pursue her Nursing degree and play basketball on the Argos team. She will start in the nursing program in the fall with the plan of completing her nursing degree in two years.

Aliya is the definition of perseverance and resilience. She put in countless hours preparing for her sophomore season, only to face a significant injury in November that impacted much of her year. Through determination, grit, and an unwavering work ethic, she fought her way back to the court to rejoin her Mustang family.

Aliya will forever be part of a legacy team that captured a California State Championship, with a permanent gold banner hanging proudly in Blanchard Gym as a reminder of what this team accomplished together.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire Tipton family, her parents, teammates, friends, and coaches who came out to celebrate and support Aliya after the two incredible years she dedicated to the Delta Women’s Basketball program.

You have left a lasting impact on our program, AT. You will always be a Mustang, and you will be greatly missed. 🖤💛

Surrounded by family, teammates, and friends, we celebrated Marci’s journey over the past two years. Her hard work, leadership, and positive attitude were just a few reasons why she was honored with the most valuable teammate award.

Best of luck to you #4! Your legacy of being a California STATE champion will live on forever. You will be missed 🖤💛

The past, the present, and the future. Nothing better than bringing all of our D squad family together. Thank you, Alumni for participating in the class. Love the competition, the leadership and the mentorship.

The future is bright.

Aliya earned Academic All-State honors by maintaining an outstanding 3.90 GPA. She also completed multiple associate degrees during her time at Delta, beginning her college academic journey while still in high school.

Known to her teammates as “AT,” Aliya’s perseverance has defined her career. She dedicated herself to improving during the offseason and refused to let a November injury keep her from her goals. Through determination and hard work, she rehabilitated as quickly as possible to help lead her team through conference play and into the 3C2A Elite Eight.

Aliya is a true champion on and off the court. She will forever be a part of Delta College history as a member of our 2026 3C2A State Championship team. We are incredibly proud of everything you have accomplished and can’t wait to see what the future holds.
Keep working hard, continue chasing your dreams, and always strive to be the best version of yourself.

Once a Mustang, always a Mustang. We will miss you, AT! 💛🖤🏆
