Chris Wondolowski has proven himself as one of the decorated NCAA Division II athletes in history regardless of sport. A prolific player in Major League Soccer, Wondolowski is one of the ultimate success stories in MLS, going from late-round Supplemental Draft pick and bit-part player to one of the league's most feared goalscorers.

With 144 career goals scored in MLS play, Wondolowski needs to net one more to tie Landon Donovan's scoring mark and two to become the league's outright scoring champion.

Although, Wodolowski did not graduate from Chico State before turning his focus to professional soccer, he played four seasons for the Wildcats where he was a second team All-America honoree in 2003, and four-time first-team All-CCAA selection. Wondolowski helped lead Chico State to an NCAA runner-up finish in 2003, after the team won the CCAA title and marched through the brackets downing UC San Diego, Cal State Dominguez Hills, Midwestern State and Findlay before falling to Lynn in the tussle for the title.

In 2013, he was named to the NCAA Division II 40th Anniversary Tribute Team, with the group reflecting the core values of Division II athletics and exemplifying the Life in the Balance approach to collegiate sports.

A former SAAC member at Chico State, he continues the tradition of giving back to the community through his involvement with Nike's N7 Program and Street Soccer USA along with his most-recent endeavors helping Butte County youth heal from the recent Paradise Fire with the Chris Wondolowski Soccer Camp organized by fellow Chico State men's soccer alumni and hosted by the Wildcats last December.
