Wanjoku looked at University of Montana in Bozeman, and the University of Wyoming before deciding on WWCC.

“The financial aspect played a big role in my decision. I wanted to stay closer to home and be comfortable as I take a step into college,” he said.

Putting in the Work

Wanjoku hopes to bring a hard work ethic to WWCC’s soccer program.

“I plan to give it all I’ve got and to put in effort in all I do, on and off the field,” Wanjoku said.

As for continuing his collegiate soccer career once his two years at WWCC are over, he said it depends on how well he plays at Western, and how much he’s willing to push himself in the years to come.

Wanjoku plans to major in biology.
