The Great American Conference sponsors championship events for 12 of its 13 sports. The football champion is the team with the best conference record.

The 2011–12 season was the first year of the conference. Arkansas Tech led the way with four championships (3 team, 1 individual). East Central and Harding each had three. As a new conference it did not receive automatic qualifying to NCAA championships; however, several teams and individuals were selected to postseason championships.

East Central, Harding, and Southern Arkansas participated in the men's cross country regional meet with ECU placing 2nd (3 top 10 runners) to advance to the national meet where ECU earned an 11th-place finish. Arkansas Tech, East Central, Harding, and Southern Arkansas participated in the women's cross country regional meet with HU placing 7th (1 top 10 runner). Arkansas Tech's volleyball team fell in the regional first round while the men's basketball team advanced to the regional finals, and Ouachita Baptist's men's tennis team advanced to the national quarterfinals. Rebecka Surteval (ATU) finished 16th at the women's golf super regional. Jack Garrett (ATU) finished 12th and Matt Jennings (HSU) finished 54th at the men's golf super regional. Southern Arkansas ended the Baseball regional with a 1–2 record, winning its first game.

Baseball

Champion
Southern Arkansas

Southern Arkansas' Jason Dahl sent a towering fly ball over the right-center field fence in the bottom of the 11th inning to give his team the title with a 4–3 victory over Ouachita Baptist in the finals of the inaugural Great American Conference championship tournament. Dahl was also responsible for forcing the game into extra innings after hitting an RBI double down the right field line in the bottom of the ninth.

Ouachita Baptist defeated Southern Arkansas by the same score in the first game of the day. SAU rallied in the ninth inning to score one run on an RBI groundout from Rafael Thomas, but Southern Arkansas left two runners on base when Ryan Dardenne grounded out to the pitcher to force the deciding second game.[8]

Men's golf

Champion
Team – Southwestern Oklahoma State
Individual – Matt Jennings, Henderson State

Southwestern Oklahoma State claimed the inaugural Great American Conference men's golf championship after ending the final round five strokes ahead of eventual runner-up Arkansas Tech.

SWOSU turned in its highest team total of the three round tournament in the final round with a 306 to give the team a final score of 898. Arkansas Tech shot a 300 as a team in the final round to increase its final total to 903. ATU bettered its team score by one stroke in each round of the event, but it was not enough to overcome SWOSU's first and second round scores of 297 and 295.

The final round needed a sudden-victory playoff to decide the individual champion. HSU's Matt Jennings won the first playoff hole over ATU's Jack Garrett by two strokes to take first place. Garrett shot a 74 in the final 18 holes, while Jennings turned in a 77 to give the pair a regulation three round total of 219 each.

Jennings becomes HSU's first individual conference champion in men's golf since the institution joined the NCAA Division II ranks in 1994.[9]
