CRASH THE COUGAR

Hi, my name is Crash and I am the official mascot for Cal State San Marcos! I'm passionate about my school and fellow colleagues, but most of all, I love to #BleedBlue and support all of our student-athletes year round. You can usually find me roaming around campus, running through our athletic fields, hyping up the crowd at The Sports Center or resting near the beautiful mountains that surround us. With 13 athletic programs to support, you could say I'm usually very busy, but i'm always up for making new friends and having a good time!

Be sure to visit MY PAGE and submit a request for us to meet
and have me hang out with you at any of your events!

Fun Facts About Me:

I'm spirit blue.
I wear the number 89 to represent the year my home, Cal State San Marcos, was founded in the CSU System.
I was custom made for CSUSM by Alinco, a renowned design agency responsible for many NBA, NHL and NCAA DI schools' mascots.
I remain gender non-conforming because I represent everyone!

My History: I was first brought to life by Associated Students, Inc. in 2004 with a student vote and have served CSUSM as the campus life mascot for 13 years. The inaugural season as a full NCAA member was in 2017-18 and I was officially moved within Cougar Athletics. As part of that transition, students were consulted to create a design that embodies the athletics brand, unifies fan support and elevates the athleticism of the mascot.
