On behalf of the University of Arizona athletics department, I would like to wish everyone happy holidays. I hope you all have a safe and healthy holiday season while enjoying the company of family, friends and loved ones.

This past year saw Arizona Athletics continue its storied legacy by achieving excellence on the field and court, in the classroom as well as in the community. The entire Wildcat Family has a lot to be proud of in 2022, and our championship success continues to be powered by our tremendous group of supporters. Thank you for your commitment and support of our athletics department and its 500 student-athletes. Living the Wildcat Way every day is paramount to our mission of developing student-athletes into academic, athletic and life champions.
Happy holidays and we can't wait to see you in 2023.

FINAL HOME GAMES OF 2022
While this Wildcat Wednesday email is the final edition of the year, we have some key games coming up. Arizona Men's Basketball closes out non-conference play with a 6 p.m. (MST) game on Thursday, Dec. 22 versus Morgan State in McKale Center. We have tickets available for that game, which you can purchase by clicking here.
Our women's basketball program will host our in-state rivals from Tempe in McKale for its Pac-12 opener. The Wildcats welcome the Sun Devils to town on Thursday, Dec. 29 at 6 p.m. (MST), and this game will be a RED OUT with complimentary pom poms for the first 2,500 fans to arrive.

We are excited to welcome Wes Johnson to the Wildcat Family as our first-ever triathlon head coach. We will begin competition in this new and emerging sport next fall, and Wes is the ideal leader to build Arizona Triathlon into a program of championship excellence.

Please join me in welcoming Wes and his family to Southern Arizona. Bear Down!
