The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference released the final standings of the 2024-25 RMAC All-Sports Competition on June 17. For the second consecutive season, Western Colorado University was awarded fifth place out of 15 rival institutions.
The Mountaineers accumulated 706 points over the year, a 66-point increase over the 2023-24 season's fifth-place total. It is also the third-highest point total in program history behind only the 2008-09 season's 724.5 and the 716 points accumulated in the 2016-17 season.
Calculations for the all-sports trophy begin with four core sports that include volleyball, women's basketball, men's basketball and either football or men's soccer (the higher point total of the two). Western tallied 265 core points, generated by 94 from women's basketball, 90 from football, 58 from volleyball and 23 from men's basketball.
Six additional sports – three men's and three women's – are then added to the core total to complete the annual calculations.
The Mountaineers accumulated 217 women's points from cross country (81), outdoor track and field (68) and indoor track and field (68). Men's cross country (87), indoor track and field (77) and wrestling (60) combined for 224 points.
The fifth-place finish marks the 18th consecutive year in which Mountaineer Athletics have placed within the top nine of the final RMAC all-sports standings. It is the fourth straight year Western has accumulated more than 600 points.
Overall, within all of NCAA Division II, Western finished 76th out of 259 scoring institutions in the 2024-25 LEARFIELD Directors' Cup standings with 261.5 points.
