The new $30 million Mountaineer Field House was opened in the spring of 2014.

Western State Colorado University, the highest four-year institution of higher learning in the United States at 7,703 feet above sea level, opened its doors to students 103 years ago this fall and celebrated a century of educating educators three academic years ago.

Western is located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, with academic programs that take advantage of the natural laboratory that surrounds campus. The college has the only college-based Mountain Rescue Team in the nation and is consistently ranked by National Geographic and Fly Rod and Reel Magazine as one of the top colleges for students to experience outdoor recreation.

Crested Butte Mountain Resort and Monarch Mountain are both within an hour drive of campus for winter sports, and Hartman Rocks features a range of activites in the summer. The City of Gunnison hosted the start of the “Queen’s Stage” of the USA Pro Cycling Tour, which several international cycling experts called one of the toughest stages to receive certifi cation.

The Mountaineers have maintained one of the top small college athletic programs in the nation, with the fourth-highest average in the history of the Learfi eld Sports Directors’ Cup. With 90 RMAC championships, 107 individual national championships and 15 national team championships, the Mountaineers have been building “Champions Out of Thin Air” since the college opened in 1911. The programs have maintained one of the top graduation rates in Division II when compared to the student body, with several programs outpacing the national average many times over.

FOOTBALLMOUNTAINEER BOWL

Sitting at an elevation of 7,750 feet, Mountaineer bowl is the highest collegiate football and track complex in the world.

The Western State Colorado University Mountaineers moved from the existing fi eld below the current University Center to Mountaineer Bowl in 1948, and broke the new facility in with a 20-0 contest against Colorado School of Mines. Since then, the facility has seen 19 RMAC championship teams play on the surface, and was the site of the 1991 NAIA Division I National Quarterfi nal game.

Today, the facility can seat 4,000 fans in the permanent seating, with room for thousands more on the hillside surrounding the fi eld.

Mountaineer Bowl features a pair of press boxes - one for game-day staff and one for radio and working media.

The Bowl also features an offi cial collegiate track, which was rebuilt and resurfaced in 2006 with an eight-lane track and resurfaced again in 2010. A new scoreboard, with messageboard and audio system, was installed the year before in 2005.

The facility hosted the 2008 and 2012 RMAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships. The Bowl is also used annually for the spring commencement for Western State Colorado University.

FOOTBALLJas Bains looks to lead the Mountaineers to victory in 2014. The Western State Colorado University Head foot-ball Coach is in his fourth season at the helm.

Bains’ fi rst few seasons at Western have been known for his overpowering defense. In 2012, the Mountain-eer defense led the Rocky Mountain Athletic Confer-ence (RMAC) in rush defense and ranked 16th in all of NCAA Division II, allowing only 1,139 yards. The Mountaineer defense followed that with another im-pressive defensive showing in 2013, again leading the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) in rush defense allowing 1,358 yards on the ground.

After a season as defensive and special teams coordina-tor for the Mountaineer football program in 2010, Bains began his fi rst season as Head Coach during the 2011 season.

While Head Coach, Bains has spearheaded community engagement projects with the Gunnison County Partners Organization, the Colorado Department of Transporta-tion and Gunnison County youth. The Mountaineers also hosted a free kids clinic in the spring of 2011 and will established Mountaineer Buddies, a mentoring program with the Gunnison Community Schools.

Bains coached the top kick-blocking team in the RMAC in 2010 and one of the top kick-blocking teams in Divi-sion II. His defense was also ranked among the top half of the conference in interception return average and opponent fourth-down conversion.

Bains spent fi ve seasons as a member of the coaching staff at Chadron State, with the fi nal three as special teams coordinator and defensive secondary coach. He was part of a defensive staff that led the RMAC in total defense, passing defense and opponent fi rst downs. He coached a punter and kicker to All-America honors as the special teams coordinator and tallied 30 blocked kicks in his fi ve seasons. His punt and kickoff returners were consistently ranked among the top fi ve in the nation.

Bains graduated from Fresno State in 2004 where he helped lead the Bulldogs to three bowl victories as a de-fensive back and special teams player against Georgia Tech, UCLA and Virginia. He transferred to Fresno State from Willamette University, where he started at safety as a true freshman.

A native of Fresno, Calif., Bains was the Clovis High School Athlete of the Year in 1999-2000. He was a two-time all-conference safety, a member of state tournament wrestling teams and was a member of the baseball team.

Bains is often a featured speaker at conventions, workshops and clinics on the role of defense and special teams. He is also a talented and respected recruiter in the state of California, as evidenced by the signifi cant increase of West Coast athletes on the Chadron State rosters.

Bains was a member of the Chadron State staff as a graduate assistant before becoming a member of the full-time staff in early 2007. He earned his master’s degree from Chadron State in December 2006.

FOOTBALLCOLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference announce the selec-tions for the 2014 RMAC Football All-Academic teams on Tuesday. Western State Colorado University had two RMAC All-Academic First Team selections, including the 2014 RMAC Football All-Academic Player of the Year in Austin Ekeler (So., Eaton, Colorado). In total, 20 Mountaineer football student-athletes were named to RMAC All-Academic teams.

Ekeler, a sophomore running back, maintains a 3.49 grade-point average as a business administra-tion major. While Ekeler has been excelling in the classroom, his per-formance on the football fi eld has been nothing short of stellar in 2014. Currently, Ekeler ranks fi rst in the RMAC in total rushing yards, average rushing yards per game, touchdowns, longest run, total all-purpose yards, and average all-purpose yards per game. At the national level, Ekeler ranks seventh in Division II for average rushing yards per game, fi fth for total rushing yards, and seventh for average all-purpose yards per game.

Last season, Ekeler was selected to the 2013 Don Hansen All-Super Region IV Offensive First Team and was named the 2013 Don Hansen All-Super Region IV Freshman of the Year. Prior to those honors, Ekeler was named a 2013 RMAC Offensive First Team selection and was named the 2013 RMAC Offensive Freshman of the Year.

Joining Ekeler on the 2014 RMAC All-Academic First Team was defensive back Cole Waliczek (Sr. Thornton, Colorado). Waliczek, a double major in sport and exercise science and psychology, maintains a 3.54 GPA. Currently, Waliczek is second on the team in total tackles with 59 and leads the team in solo tackles with 41. Waliczek ranks sixth in the RMAC for solo tackles and 12th for total tackles.

Waliczek was garnered RMAC All-Academic First Team honors in 2012 and was selected to the RMAC All-Academic Honor Roll in 2013.

To qualify for Academic All-RMAC, student-athletes must have a grade point average of 3.30 or better, be a starter or reserve, and have completed two consecutive semesters or three quarters at their current institution. Their cumulative GPA is what they had earned prior to football season beginning.

A total of 18 other Mountaineers were named to the 2014 RMAC All-Academic Honor Roll.
