2018 Offensive MVP Back for WWCC - Colton Mathys

 Colton Mathys who had a wonderful freshman campaign playing for the Mustang soccer team will return to play his second year of eligibility at WWCC.  For his efforts he was named the team Offensive MVP for the season as voted on by his peers.

Mathys is a 2018 graduate from Mt. Crest High in Hyrum Utah.  Colton played mainly as an outside midfielder for Western but can fill in for an outside back and as a forward also.  During the fall 2018 season Colton had; 6 Shots, 3 Goals, 1 Foul, 9 Starts and 39 Halves Played.

In the spring scrimmage season of 2019 Colton continued to improve with his spacing off of the ball and learning how to hold the ball in the offensive possession.  Colton had an assist during one of our 2019 spring scrimmages.

Colton added some muscle to to his frame during the off season through his dedication to his fitness and his work in the weight room.

Mathys was also named to the Academic All Region team which means his GPA for the year was above a 3.25.  He is on track to earn his diploma from Western in the spring of 2020.

Western expects Colton to be a force to be reckoned with on and off of the field this fall.  Welcome back Colton.

David Medina Mustang Soccer Player

David Medina from Rock Springs WY and a recent graduate from Rock Springs High will play soccer for Western Wyoming in the fall of 2019.

David is a defender and played for RSHS as a center back during his senior year.  David possesses great speed, good size and endurance that is second to none.

We at WWCC are excited to have added an athlete like David to the team.  We feel that David will be useful on the pitch as a defender.  Perhaps in the center or even as an outside defender with his ability to get up and down the field.

Most of his years at RSHS David was an all-star for the Tiger Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track teams.  Medina earned multiple medals throughout competitions and state tournaments, in fact we was named all state for these sports many times.  David's love and passion for soccer helped him switch over to soccer for his final year at RSHS.

Ryan Arevalo - Mustang Sophomore 2019

Ryan Arevalo from Layton UT and a graduate from Layton Christian Academy will play again for his second season with the Western Wyoming Mustangs.

Ryan had a good freshman year in 2018 for the Mustangs but was bothered by a few injuries.  In his first year Arevalo had 3 Shots, 11 Fouls, 17 Starts and 35 Halves Played.  In the fall season Ryan saw a lot of action as a defensive mid and as an outside midfielder.  He even hit the field as an attacking midfielder from time to time.

The off-season months of November to May were good to Ryan as he gained weight and muscle mass in the weight room for a stronger and healthier sophomore campaign.  He showed maturity and growth as a student, soccer player and leader.  We were very happy with his work rate and his ability to be positive and happy in the daily struggle and grind.

In the 2019 spring scrimmage season Ryan showed his improvement and development as he played in all 4 scrimmages.  He had 2 assists in those scrimmages.

In the classroom Ryan is doing a good job to maintain a high GPA and get his credits along the way.  He was accrued more than half the credits he needs to graduate with his Associate's Degree in the spring of 2020.

Welcome back Ryan, we are excited to see you on the pitch in the midfield controlling the match for the Mustangs.

Sophomore Returner - Nicaise Kangah

 Nicaise Kangah will play his second season in the Red, Black and White of the Mustangs of Western Wyoming.

Nicaise came to WWCC in January of 2018 to pursue his academic endeavors in the United States.  Nicaise is originally from the West African nation of the Ivory Coast.

Kangah is an attacking player who can use his speed and skills to penetrate and break down defenses.  He played mainly as an outside mid and an attacking midfielder last season.  He also occasionally found some time as a striker.  In the fall 2018 season Nicaise amassed the following stats; 6 Shots, 1 Goal, 1 Assist, 7 Fouls, 4 Starts and 35 Halves Played.

In the classroom Nicaise is a very serious student and he does a good job to achieve high marks.  He is on track to graduate in May of 2020 with an Associate's degree.

 Starting way back in December of 2018 until the summer of 2019 Nicaise has devoted himself to become more of a physical presence on the pitch.  He has worked hard in the weight room, on the futsal court and again on the training ground.  Nicaise played well in our four 2019 spring scrimmages especially learning to get his timing down with his teammates and play at the same tempo as them.  We welcome back Nicaise and are happy that he will be a Mustang for one more season.

Luswin Trujillo a Mustang in 2019


Luswin Trujillo a recent graduate from Rock Springs High in Rock Springs WY has decided to stay close to home to continue his academic and athletic career at Western Wyoming Community College.

Luswin comes to WWCC with a very impressive high school resume.  His final two years playing for the RSHS Tigers were when he racked up the most stats.  As a junior in 2018, Luswin tallied 18 goals and had 9 assists while also being named to the 1st Team 4A West All Conference and 1st Team 4A All State.  2018 is the same year that Luswin helped RSHS win the Sweetwater Cup (rivalry cup with Green River) and qualify for the 4A WHSAA State Tournament.  During his final year, spring of 2019, Luswin had 10 goals and 3 assists.  For his effort he was named 1st Team 4A West All Conference and 2nd Team 4A All State.

Western believes that Luswin's speed and skills will translate very well to the collegiate game.  He should fit in well for the Mustangs as either a forward or a midfielder in the attack.  His ability to find the back of the net on a consistent basis will come in handy for a Mustang team with few returning forwards.

We wish the best of luck to Luswin as he begins his Mustang career.

Kamden Carroll a Sophomore for 2019 Mustangs



Kamden Carroll has decided to return to Western Wyoming in pursue of an Associate's Degree in the medical field and will use his remaining eligibility to play college soccer for the Mustangs.

Kamden was a 2016 graduate from GRHS in Green River Wyoming.  Due to an injury he did not join the Mustang soccer team until the spring of 2017.  Kamden played his freshman campaign for the Mustangs in the fall of 2017.  As a freshman he had; 2 Shots, 5 Fouls and 23 Halves PlayedIn the fall of 2017 Kamden mainly played as a forward and as an outside mid.  He did see action as a center back in a few scrimmages.

After Western Kamden went to an Art School in New York State and transferred to UVU.  After deciding to change majors, Carroll decided to get a different Associate's Degree to better his chances of getting into medical school in the future.

We at Western are very excited to have Kamden joins us again.  We feel he will have the most impact on the team this fall in the capacity of a center back.  He has the size and physicality to play that defensive position.  If defense does not work out for Carroll he will use his creativity and skills to get himself onto the pitch as an attacker.

Playing for the Mustangs this fall will be a family reunion of sorts as brothers Kamden and Jaymin will be on the pitch and father Roger is starting his second year as assistant coach for WWCC.
