Mountaineer football graces the cover of Sports Illustrated { more }
While the Appalachian State University football team garnered three NCAA Div I FCS national championships between 2005 and 2007 - and upset the University of Michigan in 2007 - Mountaineer athletics has more to brag about than just its gridiron success.
Appalachian fields twenty NCAA Division I varsity sports, nineteen of which compete in the Southern Conference (SoCon). In 2008-09, the Mountaineers claimed SoCon championships in five sports (men's cross country, football, men's indoor track and field, women's indoor track and field and women's outdoor track and field) and finished second in three more (men's soccer, men's outdoor track and field and softball).
University Recreation oversees all non-varsity sports activities on campus, including intramurals, club sports, outdoor programs, and fitness and informal recreation.
