WuShock is a big, bad, muscle-bound bundle of wheat. He's been WSU's mascot since 1948, a friend to every Shocker fan and the No. 1 supporter of all things Wichita and Wichita State.
WSU's main campus is now home to a larger-than-life sculpture of WuShock at the entrance plaza of the new Steve Clark YMCA and Student Wellness Center, thanks to Clark – a longtime Greater Wichita YMCA board member, volunteer and donor – for whom the area’s tenth YMCA branch location is named.
Local artist Wade Hampton and sculptor Connie Ematt worked with WSU Athletics and Clark create the bronze sculpture. A documentary about the creation of the sculpture won "Best Kansas Documentary Short" at the 2020 Tallgrass Film Festival.
