Wenatchee Valley College Athletics

Wenatchee Valley College competes at the NAIA level, offering a mid-tier athletic experience between major university programs and recreational sports.

The school distributes $183,674 in athletic scholarships across these programs. NAIA athletics provide genuine competition with scholarships available, though the atmosphere is more intimate than Division I venues. Wenatchee Valley's teams compete in the Northwest Athletic Conference alongside other Pacific Northwest community colleges and smaller four-year institutions. The Knights have built solid programs despite the school's relatively small size, with student-athletes balancing competitive sports with academics in a supportive environment that emphasizes both athletic and educational development.
