Football The 2012 Illinois Wesleyan football team started the season 6-0 before key injuries and conference losses derailed its playoff aspirations. This summer, the Titans posted a 33-0 exhibition win over the Finland National Team in Helsinki. This is IWU’s fifth win in overseas trips. Previous stops were to Hamburg, Germany (1996); Bergamo, Italy (2001); Paris (2005); and Vienna, Austria (2009). In three of those four seasons following the trip, IWU either shared or won the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin title outright. In 26 seasons as head coach, Norm Eash has built the Titans into one of the region’s top NCAA Division III programs.
Golf The Illinois Wesleyan men’s golf team finished ninth in the NCAA Division III championships, played at the Sandestin (Fla.) Golf and Beach Resort.

Senior Stefan Johnson and sophomore Kenny Wienckowski were named to the second and third teams, respectively, of the PING All-America squads for Division III, announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America. Titan head coach Jim Ott, who in the spring begins his 14th year at the helm, is a multiple CCIW and Central Region “Coach of the Year.” |5
