GUNNISON, Colo. – Western State Head Track and Field Coach Chris Bradford and Head Cross Country Coach Jennifer Michel and their staff will welcome 31 new student-athletes to compete for the Mountaineers during the 2010-11 season. The group includes a mix of National Letter of Intent signees, institutional letter of intent signees and those who will walk onto the program.

"I am very excited to welcome these student-athletes to Western State College," Bradford said. "Our staff has worked hard to bring in an outstanding group that will help us in every event area. One of the things I am most proud is that they are not only top level athletes, but also top level students. I couldn’t be more excited about my first recruiting class at Western State."
