Under his three-year leadership, the Hornets achieved Florida Athletic Coaches Association 5A Athletic Program of the Year, 5A Academic Team Champion, three consecutive state championships in women's soccer (#6 in the nation), and three consecutive national championships in competitive dance.

Back to his roots, Wennington graduated from Boston College in 2014 with a bachelor’s degree in communications and a minor in management and leadership.

He went on to earn a master’s degree in sports administration from Northwestern University in 2018 where he was a graduate assistant for the Wildcats men’s basketball team.Â
Son of 3-time Chicago Bulls NBA champion, Bill Wennington, sports has always been in his DNA. When he is not in the office, he is cheering for the Green Bay Packers, planning trips to the beach, and spending time with his family.Â
“I am blessed to be back on the Heights to serve a community that has shaped me into the man I am today.”Â
