- Águilas Blancas
Águilas Blancas IPN (White Eagles) is an American football squad which plays in
ONEFA (National Student Organization of American Football).This squad is the heir of the
Burros Blancos del IPN that was one of the oldest institution with an ancient American football tradition in Mexico (the other and their main competitor is thePumas Dorados de la UNAM ), the beginning of this squad can be traced to the late 40's.The modern age started in the sixties and the origin of this squad as we know it now was the mid sixties, with the foundation of the three teams of IPN; the Buhós ESM-ENCB (Owls ), Cheyenes ESIME-ESIA (Cheyennes ); and Aguilas Blancas ESCA (White Eagles)] .Aguilas Blancas was the best ranked team of the IPN during the first years after the foundation. The first championship came in 1973; later from 1974 to 1980 the squad found a lot of ups and downs; in 1981 came the second championship and in 1982 the third championship.
Due to the critical economical situation in Mexico the IPN authorities decided to join the three teams and then came the foundation of Poli Guinda.1988 is the year of the fourth championship and this time the relevance was large, because Aguilas Blancas (now revived) defeated the
Pumas Dorados de la UNAM at the final match.In 1992 came the fifth and last championship of the team.From 1998 to 2006; the team has not reached any post season game, the season 2000 was the worst of its history. Today the team is in a renewal process and is one of the mayor candidates to win the champion ship of the new CONCEN Conference.
