Home of the eight-time national champion Women's Track and Field program (though Wheaton does not have outdoor track), Wheaton's athletics and recreation programs are also a vital contributor to Wheaton's excellence. Students can participate in intramural activities, club sports, and intercollegiate teams. Wheaton fields 21 intercollegiate teams for women and men, including baseball, softball, basketball, soccer, track and synchronized swimming. Our NCAA Division III teams take on competitors at such schools as Williams, Wesleyan, Bowdoin, Smith, Brandeis and MIT. Many teams and individual players qualify for postseason play in NCAA, ECAC  and other tournaments.
