Join Us

Warren Wilson athletic teams welcome all interested student-athletes regardless of level or experience.

Consider, for example, our Cycling team. The year they won the national championship, the team featured two freshmen riders with contrasting backgrounds. Freshmen Paul Wright came to Warren Wilson from New Zealand as a world-class rider. On the other end of the spectrum was Sophia Allen, who had never ridden a mountain bike before she joined the team in August. She got herself to a place where she could race for a national team just two and a half months later.

If you’re ready to contribute, we’re ready to meet you.

Owl Statue - Mascot

Our Mascot

At Warren Wilson, our mascot is the Owls. It’s why you hear the cheer “hootie hoo” across campus, why our annual scholarship event is called a “Parliament”, and why owl art is so widely displayed across campus.

Fellowship of Christian Athletes

Warren Wilson College provides our students a way to combine their faith and sport through our chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). Focusing on serving local communities by equipping, empowering and encouraging people to make a difference, FCA allows people to grow in their faith using the examples that sports provide.
