Central College Athletics

Blake Wynn
MIlan, Illinois
Class of 2026

Why did you choose Central?

When I first got to the campus and saw the layout of the campus, with the pond in the middle and the tulips surrounding I could see myself working on homework and studying outside Fred's, providing that the geese don't interrupt that.

Favorite professor and why?

My favorite professor would have to be Mark Mills, just because he was the first professor I talked to on campus during my vist and he was so welcoming. I have also had some of my most difficult classes with him and he has been so good at communicating with the class to make it easier for everyone. 

You're majoring in actuarial science and economics because? 

I love working with numbers and these majors allow for data analytics opportunities which challenge me.

Besides athletics, what else are you involved in on campus?

I try to get around to anything Central is hosting on campus, and if you want an easy way to make new friends, Central has plenty of ways to get to know new people.

Who are your go-to musical artists?

Depends, I listen to different genres of music based on what I'm doing at that moment. If I'm on the golf course, Country (Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson). Lo-Fi when studying, and artists like Outkast and Kendrick Lamar when I'm just chilling.

How was attending Central and playing a sport impacted your life?

It keep sme busy for sure and makes me learn how to manage balancing golf time and school time.

What's your favorite course you've ever played?

This is the most difficult question to answer because I can't even remember all of hte courses I have played. Eau Claire Club in Eau Claire, Wisconsin would have to be one of my favorites just because of the layout and the difficulty of the course.

What's the one club you know you'll hit pure every time?

I wouldn't say every time, but my most consistent club would probably be my 7 iron and being able to stick that close whenever I need to. 

If you had to give up one of your five senses, which one would it be and why?

Smell because I thought of the cons of losing all the other senses and smell has the least.

What's the best concert you've ever been to?

I haven't been to a concert but the closest think to a concert I have been to would be my friends who rapped in school, doing a performance at an assembly.

Favorite TV Show?

Kind of a typical answer but I have watched The Office way too much to not say The Office.

What's it like to play for Coach Blasi?

I think he was the perfect coach for me to have coming out of high school because my ball striking was way ahead of my short game in terms of skill and Coach Blasi is big on short games and makes sure we know that strokes are gained around the green.

What's your favorite part about being a member of Central's men's golf team?

Traveling around the Midwest and playing some of the most beautiful and challenging courses possible would be my favorite part of being art of the men's golf team.

What do you hope to be doing 10 years from now?

I hope to have a successful position in my future job and be the best golfer among my peers.

Favorite food from Central Market?

Brisket quesadillas, for sure, no question about it.
