History

The De La Salle Green Archers were a founding member of the NCAA in 1924. La Salle participated in the league for 57 years winning five NCAA General Championships in the process (1972, 1974, 1976, 1977, and 1980). The high school (Juniors' division) counterpart was the La Salle Greenies from La Salle Green Hills until 1968 when De La Salle High School in Taft Ave. Manila was dissolved. The Greenies had won two General Championships. La Salle Green Hills (LSGH) was established in 1959 and was eventually made the high school counterpart of De La Salle University. It inherited the moniker Greenies and eventually became known as the Junior Archers. LSGH won eight General Championships until 1980 when La Salle withdrew from the NCAA.
