Mountaineer athletic history dates back to a blustery fall day in 1891 when a less-than-well-organized group of University students gathered in a cow pasture outside of town to take on Washington & Jefferson in a new sport called football.

Baseball and basketball soon followed and many other diverse sports -- from boxing and wrestling to volleyball and soccer -- have been a part of the Old Gold and Blue over the years. Today, the West Virginia University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics sponsors 17 athletic teams and former Mountaineers number in the thousands and live throughout the world.

This web site is designed to help prospective student-athletes become better acquainted with West Virginia University athletics.

More detailed information about each sport can be found at the school’s official athletic web site MSNsportsNET.com.
