For track & field, he is a 4×400 Relay school record member and Milesplit Indiana All-State Honorable Mention.
Chisman told WPMQ, when asked about his choice to attend school and participate in track & field there, “I am beyond thrilled to be running track for Wabash College. When I first stepped on campus, I knew instantly that I was at home. The students, faculty, coaches, and team members all felt like a real family, and are very supportive. I really appreciate the culture of academic excellence and success at Wabash. I can’t wait to be a part of their many great traditions and not just become a better athlete, but a better man. Go Little Giants!”
Charlestown cross country and track & field head coach Jerry Doyle shared his sentiments on Chisman’s decision and said, “This signing is the culmination of four years of very hard work, passion, and determination. I tell the underclassmen that if they want to be their best, look to Wyatt as the perfect example of how to train. He gives it his best, no matter if it’s practice or in competition.”
