What does it mean to be a Lyon?

Teamwork? Breaking Records? Amusement? How about a little bit of everything!

The 2021-2022 year has been like nothing we have ever seen before. While Wheaton athletics looked different this year, all of our student-athletes trained, conditioned, and participated in team-building and leadership activities safely together. We saw the continued need from each sport for new equipment and programming needs they would like to fulfill to prepare for a triumphant return when competition resumes next academic year.

Wheaton has remained committed to our student-athletes and ensuring that we give them every possible opportunity to succeed with a world-class education and an elite competitive experience. And, each sport continues to have equipment and programming needs they would like to fulfill to prepare for a triumphant return when competition resumes next academic year.

The LYONS PRIDE CHALLENGE provides an opportunity for all supporters of Wheaton College Athletics to come together and "Be a Lyon"!

Teamwork:

Every Wheaton varsity team has an opportunity to win a share of the $5,000 challenge funds by increasing their donor participation. If your favorite Wheaton team exceeds its all-time annual participation record, they will get an equal win-share of the $5,000 challenge funds. Gifts from all athletic alumni, parents of student-athletes, current student-athletes, and friends of Wheaton athletics are eligible.
