Travis Wall was hired as head coach of the Kenyon College men's soccer program in July of 2023.
Wall, a 2012 graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University and native of Columbus, Ohio, comes to Kenyon after serving four seasons as head coach at Saint Olaf College, an NCAA Division III institution in Northfield, Minnesota.
At Saint Olaf, Wall's teams posted a combined 43-18-3 (.695) record, including a 22-7-1 (.750) mark in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC). In 2022, the Oles went 15-5-2, won the MIAC Tournament, and made another showing in the NCAA Sweet 16. Wall's teams twice ranked among the NCAA's top-10 in scoring offense and reached national poll marks as high as No. 10. He had two players named MIAC Rookie of the Year, eight players named to All-Region teams, and three named All-Americans. He guided the 2021 Oles to a 19-3-1 record, the MIAC regular-season title, and an appearance in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament. He was named both the 2021 MIAC Coach of the Year and the 2021 United Soccer Coaches Region IX Staff of the Year.
Prior to his time at St. Olaf, Wall was assistant coach for two years and associate head coach for two more years at Ohio Wesleyan. During that span, he recruited three NCAC Newcomers of the Year and the Battling Bishops made the NCAA Tournament three times.
During his collegiate playing days, Wall was a two-time first team All-American, captain of Ohio Wesleyan's 2011 national championship team, and the 2011 NSCAA National Player of the Year. He was named to the NCAC's All-Decade Team and, after taking his place among Ohio Wesleyan's top-five all-time career leaders in goals, assists, and points, was inducted into the university's Athletics Hall of Fame.
