We take athletics seriously around here. We like to run, jump, hit, dunk, lift, dive, throw and anything else that keeps us active and moving. Mountaineers compete in Division I athletics, premier, club and intramural sports, and some of us just compete against ourselves to break personal goals. And each and every one of us is filled to the top with bona fide, blue and white, busting-at-the-seams Mount Maniac school spirit!
One out of every four students here competes as an athlete on one of our 24 Division I athletic teams. Some teams are just breaking onto the scene and some have a proud history of success. From the basketball court to the track there's always something to cheer for as the Mountaineers compete against some of the best athletes in Division I.

Our men's rugby team is the perfect example of what makes Mountaineers so special. Competing at the premier sport level, our men’s rugby team pushes through challenges of endurance and mind, joins together to serve others and each other, and wins matches – a lot. They give their heart and soul to the game with some players even traveling to New Zealand to train. THAT is what the Mount spirit is all about!

If you're looking to compete at a higher level, our club sports teams are primarily student-run and travel to compete against other schools' club teams regionally and nationally. Mount students currently run over a dozen successful club sports teams - from the ice hockey team, field hockey team, and dance team, to our highly recognized equestrian team and more.
