Colorado College Athletics

Jaylin Airington, who played three seasons under Jeff Conarroe at California State University Bakersfield, has joined his former coach’s inaugural staff at Colorado College as a full-time assistant coach.
 
Airington, who graduated from CSUB in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology, helped the ’Runners earn the school’s first appearance in the National Invitational Tournament and become the first No. 8 seed in NIT history to reach the national semifinal.
 
A College Insider Defensive All-American and first-team all-Western Athletic Conference selection as a senior in 2017, Airington displayed an ability to influence the outcome of a game at both ends of the court. He set the CSUB Division I record with 500 points that season and did so while guarding the opposing team’s top offensive threat.
 
During the first round of WAC Men’s Basketball Championship, Airington became just the 12th player in program history to amass 1,000 career points, accomplishing the feat in just three seasons.
 
In 2016, Airington helped the ’Runners win the WAC Championship and earn the school's first appearance in the NCAA Division I Tournament.
 
After completing his career, Airington played three seasons of international basketball in Poland (2017-18), Hungary (2018-19) and Ukraine (2019-20).
 
In addition to his exploits on the court, Airington has a long-standing history of community service both on and off campus.
 
A few of his volunteer efforts include the Ronald McDonald House (2014), Toys for Toddler Christmas toy drive (2014), Teen Challenge: Walk to Recovery (2014), Recess with the Runners (2018), Dignity and Adventist Health Toy Drives (2013-2018) and Above All Things Dream Foundation/Youth Foundation (2018-Present).
