Where the good news shines

Colorado State University Pueblo senior punter Regan Baker was named the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference’s Football Summit Award winner on Thursday.

Baker, a Brisbane, Australia product, is an exercise science major who entered the season with a 4.00 GPA. He played in all 11 games for the ThunderWolves and averaged 39.8 yards per punt, with  12 of his 39 punts downed inside the 20-yard line.

The RMAC’s Summit Award is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative GPA competing at the finals site of their respective sport’s championship or whose team won the RMAC regular-season title in those sports without a postseason championship. Summit Award winners must have competed in 20 percent of available competitions throughout the current season.
