WWU Give Day 2025
The Viking Track and Field team is making history in the GNAC conference, marking an extraordinary achievement that no team has ever matched—an impressive six-straight victory streak across men’s and women’s cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track. This incredible run has set a new standard for excellence in the conference and on the national stage.
As we reflect on the 2024-’25 school year, we’re thrilled to celebrate some of the
remarkable accomplishments our team has achieved. In cross country, the Viking men and women won the GNAC Championships and both finished in the top 15 teams in the country with one All-American individual. This success continued with another dominant performance at the GNAC Indoor Track and Field Championships, where both the men’s and women’s teams took home 1st place. In addition, we sent seven athletes to Indoor Track and Field Nationals, where four athletes earned All-American honors in the DMR and Women’s 400m. Our athletes also set 66 new entries on the indoor all-time list and 21 new entries on the outdoor all-time list as of the end of March!
None of this would be possible without the unwavering support of our community. Thanks to your generosity last fall, we were able to provide the best opportunities for our student-athletes to continue striving for greatness, bringing them to California, Texas, and Oregon for optimal competitions in warm weather and renowned stadiums. Donations during our current Give Day fundraiser will help to meet our team’s staffing needs, fairly compensating the coaches who contribute so much to our athletes’ development and success as athletes and individuals.
Your support ensures that we can continue to cultivate the Viking values of attitude, effort, and community, which are central to our team’s identity, through coaching mentorship.
Every gift directly impacts the future of our program and contributes to the growth of our athletes— athletically, academically, and personally. Viking family, friends, and alumni: your support means everything to our team and will help us keep building on the momentum we’ve created. Thank you for your support!
