WWWC athletes won the 2023 – 2024, Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC) President’s Cup! This honor is awarded yearly to the institution whose athletic program has the highest academic achievement.
The Executive Director of NWAC, Marco Azurdia, traveled to Walla Walla to present the award to WWCC’s athletes, Athletic Director Jeff Reinland, and President Chad Hickox .
Azurdia said, “Excellence can be achieved in the classroom and in athletics. One does not need to be sacrificed for the other. You all represent what you can do athletically and academically – you are the standard.”
Upon accepting the award, President Hickox praised the student athletes and coaches, “Of course we all want you to be winning athletes, but the main reason you are here is to learn, so I’m extremely proud of you that you have been successful as athletes and as scholars. On behalf of the entire college, congratulations, thank you, and keep up the great work.”
