CHAMPS Cup


The CHAMPS Cup is a competitive game that is played by all the varsity sports teams at Wake Forest. It is a fun, easy way to track volunteer hours, and it gives a sense of personal accountability for teammates. It provides a means by which student-athletes can compete on behalf of their teams for points in different categories.

The categories are based on the five commitment areas of the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, renamed slightly to fit the needs of Wake Forest. The categories are:

  • Community Outreach
  • Enhancement Programs
  • Athletes Supporting Athletes sporting events
  • Athletic Achievement
  • Academic Achievement

One women's team and one men's team is named each year as the victors. The 2014-15 winning squads were women's soccer and men's track & field! They were treated to a victory dinner by Director of Athletics Ron Wellman, and each team was given a trophy to display in their locker room or office.
