The MPSF The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) was established during the 1992-1993 season to serve the competitive needs of member institutions from the Big West, Pacific-10 and Western Athletic Conferences, as well as other selected universities in the western United States; and to provide cham- pionships competition for Division I intercollegiate Olympic sports in a conference setting. The three founding principles on which the MPSF was originally formed were to provide enhanced competition and championship opportunities for sports without conference affiliation; to contain the costs of competi- tion; and to ensure the survival of sports impacted by Title IX and other fiscal pressures. The Federation has also served as an incubator for emerging women's sports and as a safe harbor for sports impacted by conference realignments. Since its inaugural season the Federation has seen its primary con- ference membership grow by the addition of the Mountain West and West Coast Conferences and their respective member institutions, as well as the addition of women’s gymnastics and women’s lacrosse. As a testament to its viability, the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation continues to successfully navigate the ever-changing sea of college sports by fostering contraction and expansion of its sports portfolio to meet the dynamic needs of its members. As the MPSF begins its 18th year in 2009-2010 and continues its legacy of championship competition, it affirms the relevance of its three founding princi- ples, particularly with today’s tumultuous economy. In 2009-2010, the MPSF will again sponsor competition in nine intercollegiate Olympic sports while serving over 1,500 student-athletes and approxi- mately 71 teams from 34 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. MPSF champions are eli- gible 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. 2008-2009 was a season of “first-evers” as four titles were garnered by teams that had never pre- viously experienced MPSF or NCAA titles. For the second-consecutive year, five MPSF teams won NCAA championships to bring the NCAA team championship total to 58 titles since the Federation’s first sea- 2008 ALL-MPSF TEAMS son of competition in 1992-93. A total of 24 Federation teams and scores of MPSF student-athletes MPSF Player of the Year competed in NCAA post-season competition last year. USC led the charge by winning both the MPSF Kyle Christensen, Sr., F, Denver and NCAA men’s water polo title and following with the MPSF women’s water polo title as well. However, UCLA went on to win their fifth-consecutive NCAA women’s water polo championship and seventh in the MPSF Newcomer of the Year nine years that championship has been held. University of DENVER won it’s first-ever MPSF men’s soc- Sam Garza, Fr., F, Denver cer championship, breaking the four-year streak of NEW MEXICO before falling in the first-round of NCAA tournament competition. In men’s indoor track and field UCLA won the MPSF title while the ORE- MPSF Coach of the Year GON men went on to win their first-ever NCAA indoor championship. STANFORD took the MPSF Bobby Muuss, Denver women’s indoor track and field championship for the fifth time in seven years. The Cardinal pulled a double win in men’s gymnastics taking the Federation and NCAA titles for the first-time since 1994-95. First-Team Stanford also pulled this double win during the MPSF’s inaugural season in 1992-93. In another first- Kyle Christensen, Sr., F, Denver ever feat, ALASKA ANCHORAGE beat the field to win its “first-ever” Federation title in women’s gymnas- Joe Willis, So., GK, Denver tics. To round out the season, USC took its “first-ever” MPSF men’s volleyball title with a determined Collin Audley, Jr., MF, Denver charge by a young Trojan team at season’s end, falling just short of an NCAA title, which was won in a Colin Jones, Sr., D, Denver rousing five-set title match by a veteran UC IRVINE squad; their second NCAA title in three years.

Few schools in the country have an athletic program as extensive as the Air Force Academy's. The goals of the athletic program are to enhance the physical condi- tioning of all cadets, to develop the physical skills necessary for officer- ship, to teach leadership in a competitive environment and to build character. There are three subdivisions of the athletic program: intercol- legiate athletics, intramurals and physical education. 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-coun- try, fencing, golf, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track, lacrosse, rifle, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and wrestling. The Academy fields women's teams in basketball, cross-country, fencing, gymnastics, rifle, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving, soc- cer, tennis and volleyball.

It’s a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses. The $5.6 million building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, the size of three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided into three areas--basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multi- purpose area. The three sections have a combined seating capacity of 11,000. Clune Arena seats 5,858. The Cadet Ice Rink has a seating capacity of 2,502, while the multipurpose area seats 1,000 fans for track and field competitions.
