WWW..GOAIRFORCEFALCONS..COM 19 MOUNTAIN PACIFIC SPORTS FEDERATION
The MPSF The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) was established during the 1992-1993 academic year to serve the competitive needs of member institutions from the Big West, Pacific-10, Mountain West, Western Athletic and West Coast Conferences and other selected universities in the western United States; and to provide championship competition for Division I intercollegiate Olympic sports in a conference setting. The MPSF was originally formed to provide enhanced competition and championship opportunities for sports without conference affiliation; to contain the costs of competition; and to ensure the survival of sports impacted by Title IX and other fiscal pressures. The Federation has served as an incubator for emerging women's sports and as a safe harbor for sports impacted by conference realignments. In 2006-2007, the Federation celebrated its 15th year of competition and is affirmed that is more relevant today than at any other time since its inception. As a testament to its viability, the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation continues to successfully ride the ever-changing wave of college sports by fostering contraction and expansion of its intercollegiate athletics portfolio to meet the dynamic needs of its member institutions and conferences. Since its inception, MPSF teams have won 49 NCAA team championships and many individual titles as well. In 2008-2009, the MPSF will again provide competition in nine Olympic intercollegiate sports while serving over 1,500 student-athletes and approximately 75 head coaches from 32 universities in 12 western states. All MPSF teams compete at the NCAA Division I level in men's soccer, men's and women's water polo, men's and women's indoor track and field, men's and women’s gymnastics, women’s lacrosse and men's volleyball. All MPSF champions are eligible to compete in NCAA Championships with MPSF men’s soccer, men’s and women’s water polo, and men’s volleyball champions earning automatic qualification into NCAA championship events. In 2007-2008, five MPSF teams won NCAA championships to total 53 NCAA team titles since the Federation’s first season of competition in 1992-93. Almost a score of Federation teams and hundreds 2007 ALL-MPSF TEAMS of student-athletes competed in NCAA post-season competition. California started things off by win- ning their second-consecutive NCAA men’s water polo title last fall. Arizona State pulled off a double MPSF Player of the Year Chris Wright, Jr., MF, New Mexico win with both the Sun Devils’ men’s and women’s indoor track and field teams taking NCAA crowns, after the women won both the MPSF and NCAA titles for the second year in a row. Oklahoma then MPSF Newcomer of the Year won the NCAA men’s gymnastics title, also after taking the MPSF championship. This was the Daniel Cruz, Fr., F, UNLV Sooners fifth NCAA crown in seven seasons and fourth-consecutive MPSF title with nine outright or co-conference titles in the past 10 seasons. UCLA capped the season by repeating as NCAA women’s MPSF Co-Coaches of the Year water polo champions after winning the MPSF title, pulling off dual titles for the second year in a row. Bobby Muuss, Denver Other Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Champions for the 2007-2008 season include New Mario Sanchez, UNLV Mexico’s fourth-consecutive conference title in men’s soccer, the Lobos’ sixth in seven years; Oregon won it’s first-ever MPSF men’s indoor track and field championship while UC Davis added the Aggies’ First-Team first MPSF women’s gymnastics title.

Few schools in the country have an athletic program as exten- sive as the Air Force Academy's. The goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical conditioning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officership, to teach leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. There are three subdivisions of the athletic program: intercollegiate athletics, intramurals and physical educa- tion. The intercollegiate program has 17 men's and 10 women's NCAA-sanctioned teams, facing some of the top competition in the nation. Men’s teams are football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, cross-country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and and Navy combined.

Paul Davies is the superintendent of grounds maintenance with Embassy Landscape Group, Kansas City, Mo., a sub-contractor to J & J Maintenance, 10th Civil Engineering Squadron. Davies has 20 years experience in turf management and has a degree in golf course manage- ment at Elmwood College, St. Andrews, Scotland. Davies and his staff, which ranges from 16 to 20, maintain 117 acres of sports turf. A vision in 1983 became a reality on Aug. 29, 1995. That date marked the dedication of the new soccer complex fol- lowed by the men’s and women’s exhibition games. The first phase of the construction began in May, 1995. It included the new natural grass field, permanent seating for 1,000, a press box and a fence encompassing the entire complex. Beneath the press box are home and visiting team locker rooms. The beginning of the 1998 season saw the second phase of the stadium project completed. Added to the already impres- sive facility were completed locker rooms, with showers and a changing area. Other improvements included permanent public restrooms, concrete pads for additional seating on the east side and a walkway between the east and west seating areas. In the spring of 2003, permanent lights were added with three banks of lights on each side of the field. The vision of head coaches Lou Sagastume and Marty Buckley was put into action following the 1993 season.
