The UCCS men’s and women’s track & field teams finished off a sweep of the 2022 RMAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships on Sunday afternoon as the women’s team tallied 191 points to defeat second place Colorado School Mines (97 points) by 94 points and the men’s team racked up 189 points to finish 58 points ahead of the Mines men’s team (131 points). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I\u2019m just so proud of this team, coaches as well as support staff,” said Ross Fellows, Head Track & Field Coach. “They did a phenomenal job. We had a training plan, got into a flow, trusted the process, and came away with four great victories for our program.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mountain Lions’ sweep of the outdoor conference championships marks the second consecutive year that they have accomplished the feat and the second straight year that the program has completed the 4-for-4 sweep of the indoor and outdoor RMAC conference titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This meet really showed our depth, and showed how well rounded of a program we are being on the podium in almost every event,” Fellows said. “It\u2019s hard to win in this conference and doing it back to back years on the men\u2019s and women\u2019s side is unheard of. We are looking forward to seeing what we can put together at nationals in a few weeks!”
