“Facilities are what kids are looking for these days,” says Dennis Francois, Athletic Director, Central Washington University. “Our recent renovation, including the varsity weight room and the Fieldhouse with Mondo tracks, has been a game-changer in motivating our athletes and enhancing our recruitment efforts.

“From the moment our student-athletes step into these upgraded facilities, there is a noticeable shift in their attitude and performance. These new spaces are not only about providing top-tier facilities but also about instilling a sense of pride and belonging among our athletes.”

Central Washington University’s athletic prowess isn’t just a stroke of luck; it’s the result of careful planning and substantial investment in world-class facilities.
