On National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD), Wichita State University Athletics is proud to celebrate the achievements of girls and women in athletics. Every day, our female student-athletes utilize the power of practice, preparation and competition to grow personally and professionally.
Our women's programs and female student-athletes are no strangers to success. Since joining the American Athletic Conference, softball has had four AAC Players of the Year (Sydney McKinney twice, Addie Barnard, Mackenzie Wright) and has made the NCAA Tournament three straight seasons and four of the last five. Softball has also had three All-Americans in program history, all within the last three years and won AAC Regular Season Championships in 2021 and 2023.
