Wake AD sees progress despite losing records in key sports
Wake Forest finished at No. 68 in the final standings for the Director's Cup, awarded annually to the top overall athletic department.
Both golf programs and the men's soccer team also made it to postseason play.
The school continued its building boom, finishing its $21 million, 80,000-square-foot indoor practice facility as the first phase of a $58 million sports performance center and opening a $4.5 million headquarters for the golf teams.
A project to renovate its baseball stadium and build additional training facilities there is underway, and Wellman says they're planning a new practice gym for the basketball programs and a renovation of the tennis complex because Wake Forest is hosting the men's and women's NCAA championships in that sport in 2018.
