MANSFIELD, PA— The Mansfield University sprint football program is the subject of a feature story in the fall issue of NCAA
Champion magazine.
The story by Gary Brown, entitled “Game Day Again,” chronicles the birth and development of the Mountaineers sprint program after the Division II program was discontinued after the 2006 season.
The eight-page story features 22 pictures taken during MU’s season opening win over Princeton on September 19.
Now in its second season in the Collegiate Sprint Football League (CSFL), Mansfield competes against Cornell University, the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, the United States Military Academy at West Point (Army) and the United States Naval Academy (Navy).
MU is the only public university in the country offering sprint football, which has the same rules as regular college football with a weight limit for players of 172 pounds.
