Viking Night -Support our Student-Athletes!

$5,800 Raised So Far For Our Student Athletes!

Viking Night -Support our Student-Athletes!

If you were not able to join our live Viking Night broadcast on September 15, don't worry-there is still time for you to make a gift in support of Viking student-athletes.  

Please consider how you can support scholarships and make your gift today!

Viking Night has been a tradition at WWU for more than 30 years and is the key fundraiser to support Western’s 15 varsity intercollegiate programs.   As we prepare for our upcoming seasons, our need to raise funds to support our student-athletes is greater than ever. 

Covid has changed so much.  But despite these challenges, our unwavering commitment to the student-athlete experience remains unchanged. Your generosity will ensure these outstanding young people have the resources they need to excel both in the classroom and in their sports.

 

Even with a condensed season where fall sports were played in the spring, and a late start with limited practices for the traditional spring sports, 2020-21 was still a year filled with highlights for the 10 teams that were in competition!

 We Had:

  • 61 All-GNAC Awards
  • 115 GNAC All-Academic Honors
  • 27 All-Region Awards
  • 4 All-Americans
  • 46 GNAC Player of the Week Awards
  • 3 GNAC Team Titles (Softball, Men’s Track & Field, Women’s Golf)
  • 5 Teams represented at NCAA Division II Championships (out of six possible teams)

 

In addition to the record 115 GNAC All-Academic selections, WWU Athletics earned the NCAA Presidents’ Award for Academic Excellence for the third time in the last four years. WWU’s student-athletes recorded an Academic Success Rate of 90%, part of a record 42 NCAA Division II member schools that earned the NCAA award in 2020. Western also earned the award in 2017 and 2018, and fell one-percent short in 2019. Western was one of only six public institutions to earn the award out of the 42 schools in 2020.

 

Every dollar will go directly support student athlete scholarships.  Thank you for your generosity and Go Vikings!
