MIDDLETOWN, Conn. – The Wesleyan men's soccer team hosted a 100-year anniversary celebration on campus on April 26, wherein current players and alums across multiple decades came back to campus to celebrate 100 years.
 
The WeSoccer100 event started with 20+ alums sharing highlights of their careers in small groups with active members of the varsity team over coffee in the Freeman Athletic Center. Then a larger group of 40+ alums gathered at Smith Field, donated by soccer alum Renny Smith '78.
 
Two half field matches, seven alums aside with goalies, were played on pitched divided between self-selected 'All-Stars or Legends'.
 
Then in the evening, the group reunited at the Daniels Family Commons in Usdan for a formal ceremony and dinner. Every team portrait from 1924 through current day was on display, along with some old uniforms. Founding Coach Hugh McCurdy's archived notes of his years, old Argus articles, histories of famous teams like the 1966 winners over Brown and the Wesleyan Hall of Fame 1991 squad (16-0-1 record), lists of team captains, All-Americans, and season records were also shared.
 
Athletic Director Mike Whalen '83, Dan Lynch '81, former Coach Don Long, current team captain Colin Campbell '25, and Head Coach Geoff Wheeler all spoke at the ceremony. Videos of a Terry Jackson interview and a congratulations from former USA Coach Bob Bradley were shown, as well as highlights from the 2024 squad that qualified for the NCAA Tournament.
