Welcome from Athletic Director
WELCOME
On behalf of everyone at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, welcome to Blue Devil Athletics.
Our 450 student-athletes compete in 18 varsity sports. We are a proud member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) where we see some of the best competition in the nation almost every week. The WIAC has won more National Championships than any other conference at our level, yet all Division III student-athletes compete for the pure love of sport and competition with no athletic scholarships.
Our student-athletes are engaged in being great students, actively involved in our community and being competitive in sports at a national level. College athletics helps student-athletes challenge themselves, learn to work as a team, develop leadership skills and shows how hard work and dedication transfer towards long-term goals. Challenging yourself in this way is a great example of the value of sport in our educational system.
We are very proud of our athletic programs and working hard to make them even better. In the last two years we have a new weight room, are updating our Athletic Treatment Center, added new turf to our football stadium, have new and updated athletic offices, increased our recruiting efforts, and are working on a long-term plan for new and/or updated facilities. We have an exceptional group of coaches and staff in place. We are excited about our future and believe the best is surely ahead. Stay tuned.
We hope you enjoy our new UW-Stout Athletics website and encourage you to follow our teams and attend some of our home athletic events.
Go Blue Devils!
