Triton Spirit

Meet UC San Diego's mascot, learn the fight song, and spread Triton spirit!

Who is the UC San Diego mascot?

The Triton is described as the offspring of Poseidon and Amphitrite, a demigod of the sea with a lower part of the body like that of a fish. They are known as a mighty and fierce sea warrior.

Given UC San Diego's close proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its connections with the world-famous Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Triton became a fitting mascot back in 1964.

Fight on,

Hail to, the Triton name.
Loyal Tritons

On to fame.

March on, in unity —
Bold and strong we fight
 for Triton victory.
