Athletic traditions at WSU are abundant! In fact, it was on our campus in 1905 when the very first night football game was played west of the Mississippi River, thanks to a field lined with Coleman gas lanterns. Since then, WSU division I teams have been to the NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four, won the Baseball College World Series and Men's Basketball National Invitational Tournament, and played host to some of the greatest athletes in the world. As a WSU student, you can receive a free ticket to all WSU home athletic events! Wichita State is a member of the Missouri Valley Conference. WSU men compete in basketball, baseball, track/cross country, tennis and golf, while WSU women compete in basketball, softball, track, tennis, golf and volleyball.
