Aquinas College

Junior Peyhton Wade joined the Aquinas Track & Field program after transferring from Grand Rapids Community College and is pursuing degrees in Business and Sport Management. A native of Grand Rapids and graduate of East Kentwood High School, Wade brings a versatile athletic background and valuable collegiate experience to the Saints.

Wade competed in varsity baseball, football and track during high school before continuing his track & field career at the collegiate level. He earned All-Conference honors as part of the 4x100-meter relay in 2025 and ranks fifth all-time in the 60 meters. He chose Aquinas because of the opportunity to compete every day while building lasting friendships with teammates.

Peyhton hopes to help all four Aquinas 200-meter runners earn All-Conference honors and believes team success is one of the most rewarding aspects of collegiate athletics. Away from the track, he enjoys playing sports and listening to music.
