Cougar Athletics has a proud tradition of excellence created by its current and former student-athletes, student-body, alumni, and fans. The WSU Athletic Department needs your help to take another step in continuing this tradition of excellence. Our goal is to increase the competitive experience for our student-athletes and improve the Cougar Athletics program as a whole. To help us accomplish this goal, Cougar Athletics is starting the Student-Athlete Excellence Account, a fund to assist us with completing facility projects to improve the collegiate experience for all WSU student-athletes, regardless of the sport.

The first project to be funded by this account is a renovation of the Cougar Mania Weight Room. The weight room benefits ALL WSU student-athletes in EVERY sport the department offers. At one point the weight room was the premier facility in the Pac-10 Conference and Cougar Athletics has achieved numerous accolades in the 12 years since the weight room was opened. The strength and conditioning facility and staff contributed a significant component to this success and the time has come to reinvigorate the complex.
