Meet the Cougars Track & Field Captains: Nathan Wadhwani

Nathan Wadhwani, a junior and Canadian native is one of the Men's track distance captains this season.

Wadhwani began running when he was eight-years-old, coached by his father, Vid Wadhwani. Growing up in Maple Ridge, B.C., Canada, he ran for the Golden Ears Athletic Track and Field Club.

After graduating from Terry Fox Secondary School, Wadhwani took a year off from school to train. Upon visiting WSU, he fell in love with the school and program and knew this was where he wanted to be.

"Coming here, you could just tell that everyone had a positive attitude and they were here to compete and be the best that they could be," Wadhwani said of his visit.
