Faith Wayman returned to California Lutheran University in January 2026 as the Sports Information Director, overseeing all aspects of athletic communications for the Kingsmen and Regals. In her role, Wayman manages the department’s website, statistics and records, media relations, social media platforms, and live streaming operations across all athletic programs.
A Cal Lutheran graduate, Wayman rejoins the Purple & Gold after serving as Co-Sports Information Director at Eastern Oregon University, an NAIA institution competing in the Cascade Collegiate Conference. At EOU, she led media coverage, communications, and event operations for the department’s 17 programs while serving as the primary communications contact for volleyball, cross country and track & field, men’s basketball, lacrosse, and baseball.
Wayman earned her master's degree through Cal Lutheran's Sports Management Program, where she served as the department's first-ever Sports Information and Marketing Graduate Assistant during the 2024-25 academic year. In that role, she managed CLU's athletic social media platforms, served as the primary communications contact for cross country and track & field, swim & dive, men's and women's volleyball, softball, and lacrosse, and worked closely with the Sports Information Director to gain hands-on experience across all areas of athletic communications.
Since returning to Cal Lutheran, Wayman has played a key role in expanding the department’s digital and broadcast capabilities. She helped launch the university’s first live-streaming coverage of tennis while enhancing broadcast production for water polo and several other sports. She has also elevated game-day productions through the addition of graphics, pregame content, and other broadcast enhancements.
Wayman oversees the department’s sports information internship program, continuing its growth while providing undergraduate students with hands-on experience in athletic communications, media relations, broadcasting, photography, and content creation. During her first year as Sports Information Director, she traveled with the Kingsmen volleyball team throughout its NCAA Tournament run to the national semifinals, serving as the team's communications contact while leading photography, social media, website coverage, and media relations efforts.
She also partnered with Associate Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator Katie Bell to help lead the department's annual Senior Athlete Farewell celebration, serving as the event's emcee and helping coordinate program highlights and student-athlete recognition.
An active member of College Sports Communicators (CSC), Wayman regularly engages in professional development opportunities and represented Cal Lutheran at the 2026 CSC Convention in Las Vegas.
A former collegiate student-athlete, Wayman was a four-year starter on the softball team at Bushnell University. She was named the team's Most Valuable Player and earned all-conference honors in 2023 while also being recognized as a two-time CSC Academic All-District selection. Wayman completed her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Coaching and Athletic Administration in spring 2024. Having experienced the impact athletics can have on a student's college experience, she is passionate about telling stories that celebrate student-athletes and the communities built around them.
Outside of athletics, Wayman enjoys roadtripping with her golden retriever, Sadie, listening to music, and dominating her brother Jacob in Wii Sports. She resides in Simi Valley, California.
