Cross Country & Track and Field

As WWU T&F concludes our 2019 championship season we look back and soak in all the moments that make this experience possible. We were able to bring 93 athletes to our GNAC Conference Championship thanks to the incredible contribution of supporters like you! The men’s team arose VIKtorious scoring points in nearly EVERY event. The women’s team fought courageously gleaning some valuable experience and with much of the women’s team returning the future looks bright for our lady Viks!

This season we are doing our fundraising a little different. In order for your donation to help the event or the athlete that you care about most, we are dividing our fundraising efforts into the event groups and raising funds for specific things. Simply type in the event group you wish to support in the "DESIGNATION" section of the donation page. Here are your option and what each event group is raising money for and where they are at as of the beginning of May 30th:

  • Women’s Distance ($685 from goal!)
    • Stipend for a female distance coach
  • Javelin (Goal has been achieved!)
    • Throwing Machine and refurbished javelins

Western Washington University Track & Field and Cross Country is home to some of the brightest, most hard working student-athletes around. They have won championships as individuals and as a team, they have worked diligently toward academic excellence, and they have made a noticeable impact on our Bellingham community. They are committed, passionate and eager to learn and grow. Will you steward the legacy of Viking Track & Field and Cross Country with a gift on Give Day? Every donation will be given a percentage match. Last year the match percent was 30%. So, for every $100 donated we received an additional $30 from the matching fund pool! Needless to say, this is a fantastic opportunity for your contribution to go further! Thank you so much for your support and GO VIKINGS!!
