The Western Mustangs are the athletic teams that represent the Western University in London, Ontario, Canada. The university's varsity teams compete in the Ontario University Athletics conference of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport and, where applicable, in the west division.
Many Western varsity programs lead Canadian universities in the number of championships won. The women's volleyball team has won 10 provincial championships, the rowing team has won 23 provincial championships, the basketball teams have won 24 provincial championships and the football team has won 30 provincial championships. Additionally, the cheerleading team has won the national championship 29 times, including 22 straight, and the football team has won six Vanier Cup national championships. They also have one of the largest university marching bands in Canada.
The University of Western Ontario's Athletics program currently supports 22 varsity programs. Western Ontario Mustangs teams compete in:
Mustangs men's team in 2012 playoffs vs. Windsor Lancers.
Mustangs goalie in 2011-12 season.

The Western Mustangs football team is one of the most decorated in Canadian history. They play out of the TD Stadium, built in 2000, which can seat up to 8000 spectators. The team has appeared in the most Vanier Cup national championships out of all Canadian Universities, having made it to the title game 12 times, most recently in 2008. The program has gone on to win the Cup six of those times, a feat only recently matched in 2010 by the Laval Rouge et Or. The Mustangs have also won the Yates Cup conference championship 29 times in team history; more than any other Canadian University. Former Head Coach Larry Haylor led the team from 1984 until his retirement in 2006, and currently holds the Canadian Interuniversity Sport record for most wins.
