THANK YOU

From March 4-6, Stevenson Athletics hosted the department's 3rd Annual Campaign for Mustang Athletics, reaching new milestones and setting records for the program. The three-day initiative once again showcased the incredible generosity of the Mustang Community, as alumni, families, fans, and friends came together to support Stevenson student-athletes in a powerful way. 

After closing last year's campaign with $159k in gifts, Mustang Athletics shattered that mark in 2026, raising more than $273k in support across the 29 athletic programs. The momentum was also reflected in participation, as the number of donors grew significantly— from 1,213 supporters in 2025 to an impressive 1,966 donors this year.  "We are incredibly grateful to everyone in the Stevenson Athletics community who participated in this year's Campaign for Mustang Athletics," said , Director of Athletics. "The historic success of this campaign speaks volumes about the passion and pride that surrounds Stevenson Athletics and sends a strong message to our student-athletes that there is an entire community of support behind them." The remarkable generosity seen in this year's campaign provides resources that allow our student-athletes the opportunity to train, compete and grow while representing Stevenson at the highest level. The Stevenson Athletics administration, coaches, staff, and — most importantly — its student-athletes are incredibly grateful for the unwavering support of #StangNation and the Mustang Athletics family to continue elevating the student-athlete experience both on and off the field.  Mustang Athletics thanks every supporter who helped make this year's campaign a record-breaking success and for continuing to Fuel the Stampede.

MUSTANGS OF THE MONTH

Carleigh Barwick (women's ice hockey), PJ Cera (men's soccer), Brennan McKneely (men's lacrosse), and Jesse Resnick (men's lacrosse) are taking on a special project this semester in Athletics. Each student-athlete is in the midst of their spring internships, and are digitally archiving the history of Stevenson Athletics.

As technology continued to evolve throughout the years, some things were never digitalized, including the stats and achievements of Villa Julie and Stevenson student-athletes from 1994-2008. These four students, will be tackling the project of making alumni's achievements linked to their bios on GoMustangSports.com for fans and family members to see for years to come.
