Our very own Faculty & Staff Wellness Instructor and Class participant, Daphne Scott (https://campusrec.wwu.edu/scottd) recently set the Track and Field Masters WORLD Record in the Decathlon in her age group! 🏆🙌👏

Daphne reported that "A number of us women who did the decathlon in Charlottesville, VA on 9-10 Aug, 2025, now hold a spanking new age-group World Record for the Decathlon. It has been a looooong time getting to this point in our history - that is what I am most excited about (above the personal record)."

Congratulations Daphne! We are so proud of your efforts, continued dedication, support of a greater cause, taking part in history, and of course, it is pretty impressive to be the BEST in the WORLD! 🙂

Please check out all the records in the link below... They are pretty amazing! If you want a quick look at Daphne's, I have attached a screen shot.

Science backing what we do at WWU! This study reinforces that movement (making wellness a priority) is the strongest predictor of longevity!

One of my favorite quotes here: "The best predictors for how to live longer? Physical activity, followed by age, mobility problems, self-assessed health, diabetes, and smoking. Take a moment to let that sink in: how much and how vigorously you move are more important than how old you are as a predictor of the years you’ve got left."

Scientists crunched the numbers to come up with the single best predictor of how long you’ll live—and came up with a surprisingly low-tech answer

Did you know retirees can still take Wellness Classes?!?

This crew of retirees, who met through Wellness Classes, were spotted around 10am on a walk along Boulevard! They were later seen around 12pm headed to their Wellness Classes. Just living that retired life!! 😊 So well deserved, and so thankful we still get to have them as a part of our program! 🙌
