🌾 ​ And much, much more!

🌾 ONE BIG THING

Wichita State Athletics has partnered with SCHEELS to become the Official Online Team Store for the Shockers. The All Sports retailer has been a proud supporter of Shocker Athletics since 2022, and after opening its Wichita location on July 1, 2023, the two entities have worked together to bring Shocker fans the highest quality apparel both in-store and online.

🗣️ "We are thrilled for the opportunity to strengthen our partnership with SCHEELS. As our new e-commerce partner, Shocker fans now have another avenue to find and purchase first-class Shocker gear." - Mark Rogers, General Manager for Shocker Sports Properties.

🔼 New In Town. Shocker women’s golf announced an addition to the roster with New Zealand native Kayla Van de Ven. Joining the Shockers for the 2025 spring semester, Van de Ven has a tournament average round score of 74. She recently won the 2024 senior women's club championship in New Zealand.

🔼 Welcome In. Shocker women's tennis head coach Colin Foster announced the addition of former Miami Hurricane Tatyana Nikolenko to his squad's 2024-25 roster. Nikolenko will provide winning experience to the Shocker lineup, coming from a Miami team that went 35-14 overall in her time there, including three match wins at the NCAA Tennis National Championship.

🔼 The Roundhouse Podcast. Radio voice of the Shockers Mike Kennedy and Bob Lutz, host of “Bob and Jeff” on KFH radio and former Wichita Eagle columnist chronicled the Mark Turgeon era from start to finish. The two reminisce about that time and what it meant to Shocker basketball.
