The Metro State Roadrunners have won the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC)/Wells Fargo All-Sports Competition Cup for the second time in three years.

The conference announced Metro State’s win last Wednesday. Finishing first among the 14 colleges in the conference, Metro State had 858 points, beating out the second-place finisher, Adams State, by more than 80 points.

The RMAC All-Sports Competition Cup is awarded to the institution that accumulates the most points over the year based on its teams' outcome in the RMAC's four core sports and six wild-card sports. The four core sports are men's soccer and basketball, and women's basketball and volleyball. The wild-card sports consisted of three men's sports and three women's sports. The total points arecalculated based on how the teams finish in the RMAC regular season standings.

In the fall 2008 season, all five of Metro State’s teams qualified for postseason play while men’s and women’s basketball and indoor track teams played in RMAC playoffs. In the spring men’s baseball, women’s softball and men’s and women’s tennis and outdoor track teams also battled during the playoffs. Metro State’s men’s tennis team rounded off the season at No. 33 in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Tournament in Altamonte Springs, Fla.

Nicole Cito (women's soccer), Kellen Johnson (men's soccer), Jesse Wagstaff (men's basketball) and Sascha Ruckelshausen (men's tennis) were all named RMAC Player of the Year in their respective sports this year. Wagstaff and Ruckelshausen each earned RMAC Academic Player of the Year honors.
