Athletics

Mustang Athletics

The goal is to promote lifelong fitness, provide opportunities for growth and good sportsmanship, show the benefits of dedication, hard work, and continuous practice, and for students to simply have fun.

Mustang Athletics

Mullen High School offers 22 state-sanctioned sports for Mustangs boys and girls, and are open to all participants. We work to engender respect for adults, fellow team members and opponents.

For those who aspire to be serious athletes, Mullen also offers some of the finest coaches and most-competitive interscholastic teams in Colorado in its upper classifications.

Athletic Facilities

While the thousands of motorists who travel Hampden Avenue each day may know Mullen lies to the south off Lowell Boulevard, how many really know about its athletic facilities? And how many prep competitors, coaches and followers from other schools have had an opportunity to enjoy them?
