Go Presidents!

With W&J College student-athletes making up nearly half of the student body, athletic life on campus is a critical part of student life, for those on the team and those who cheer you on. We have dedicated coaches and mentors to take you to the next level and some of the most impressive practice and playing facilities in Division III.

Men's Sports

Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, water polo, and wrestling. Baseball has advanced to two College World Series since 2017. Football has posted a winning record in 39 consecutive seasons. Men's Golf has 20 conference titles. We're proud of our student-athletes and what they've accomplished on and off the field - and they're hungry for more. Join the team and see where it takes you.

“Without the extra push from W&J, I would not have prioritized an internship as highly as I did. This allowed me to step outside my comfort zone and have a great experience. I know I’m working toward what I want to do,” Julia said.

“[In the lab], I felt like…I was in the midst of developing science,” Kunkle said. “I read manuscripts and grants, and Dr. [Jessica] Klusek, [the associate professor of communication sciences and disorders at the University of South Carolina who directed the lab], would email me research and say, ‘Hey, we’re looking to get this published next week, can you look over it?’ And just being a part of that was really amazing.”

“I had to deal with a lot of failure last summer—a lot of the experiments I did just didn’t go how I wanted or expected them to—but it made me really good at looking at things critically,” she said. “Dr. Shanmuganathan and Dr. DeBerry really encouraged me…and I’m going back to the same lab for the summer of 2022.”
