Meet the Athletics Team

Lacy Gilbert

Lacy Gilbert

Director of Athletics

At Wesleyan, athletics is an integral part of the student experience and an extension of our school’s mission to challenge and nurture the mind, body, and spirit. We are committed to providing a competitive, Christ-centered athletic program that not only develops physical skills but also shapes character, deepens faith, and builds lifelong values.

Our teams pursue excellence and competitiveness, but our mission extends far deeper than wins and losses. We seek to cultivate an environment where student-athletes are challenged spiritually, physically, and mentally, and where lessons in discipline, perseverance, teamwork, humility, and service are learned and lived out. Athletics at Wesleyan provides opportunities for students to discover their God-given potential while experiencing the joy and responsibility of being a part of something greater than themselves.

Through practices, competition, and shared experiences, our athletes grow in character, sportsmanship, and community. We desire that every student leaves Wesleyan not only as a stronger competitor, but also as a young man or woman prepared to lead, serve, and thrive beyond the playing field.

It is a privilege to serve our athletes and coaches each day!

Go Wolves!
