Baseball Preview
Less than a year ago, Wheaton’s baseball team was wrapping up its season with a bit of a disappointing chip on its shoulder. Before the season started, the team was picked to finish fourth in the CCIW. Yet the Thunder unfortunately finished the season with a 10-11 record, missing out on the fourth and final […]
Softball Preview
The Wheaton women’s softball team has had a challenging start to their season. Last year’s team was anchored by four seniors who have moved on, leaving the current roster with only one current senior, Abby Butler, and only three juniors. Last year’s team set many records and had quite an impressive post-season as one of […]
Tennis Preview
If there are three things Wheaton students should be excited about as we begin the last quad of the year, it is the sun, the men’s tennis team and the women’s tennis teams.

Golf Preview
After an up-and-down 2016 fall golf season, both the men’s and women’s golf teams are looking to the spring with hope and optimism. But will the teams be able to top last year’s effort?

Swimming Recap
This season has been something that Thunder swimming and diving fans have almost come to expect from the incredibly successful men’s and women’s teams.

Women's Basketball Recap
The Wheaton women’s basketball team finished out an exciting season with an overall 24-5 record (14-2 conference record).

Wrestling Recap
This past season, the Thunder wrestling team had some very notable wins, but also some unfortunate losses.
