COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference released their all-conference baseball teams on Wednesday (May 9) morning ahead of the conference baseball tournament. A total of 10 players represented Colorado Mesa with three earning at least a share of the major awards.
 
Colorado Mesa head coach Chris Hanks was named the RMAC Coach of the Year for the 12^th time in his career. Hanks has led the Mavericks to their 11^th straight Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference title and in the process earned his 1,000^th win of his career becoming the fastest coach in NCAA Division II history to do so.
 
Senior Julian Boyd earned All-RMAC First Team honors and was named a Co-RMAC Player of the Year after a fantastic final season as a Maverick.

The Los Angeles native is just three stolen bases shy of tying the program record for stolen bases.
 
Junior shortstop Harrison Rodgers was named to the All-RMAC First Team and, like his teammate, was named the RMAC Co-Player of the Year.
