Born in Celina, Ohio, he earned his undergraduate degree from Bowling Green State University,where he was a pitcher on the varsity baseball team. After receiving a master’s from Bowling Green,he joined the faculty and coaching staff at Elmhurst (IL) College in 1971,serving as head baseball coach,assistant basketball coach,assistant football coach and associate professor of health and physical education. He ended his association with basketball in 1976,but one year later became Elmhurst’s ath- letic director and guided the NCAA Division III program to new heights. A total renovation of the athletic facilities at Elmhurst was undertaken under his direction and every sport at the school improved its won-lost record during his tenure. Elmhurst recognized Wellman’s contribution to its program in 1985 by naming him to its Hall of Fame. His accomplishments as a baseball coach were substantial as well. Elmhurst teams won more than 200 games (210-136) under his leadership, and in five of his last seven years there, he was named conference coach-of-the-year. That success continued in 1981 when Wellman became head baseball coach at Northwestern. In five years, his squads compiled a 180-97 record (65.0 winning percentage) and 15 of his players signed professional contracts. Additionally,his 1984 team set a school record with 44 victories. Equally noteworthy was that in his final three years at Northwestern (1984-86), 18 of his players achieved either Academic All-America or Academic All-Big Ten honors. Wellman began devoting his energies to athletic administration on a fulltime basis in 1986 when he was named athletic director at Mankato State (MN) University. He spent 12 months with that program,then in July of 1987 accepted the athletic directorship at Illinois State. Among his accomplishments at ISU were facility development and the Academic Excellence Banquet concept which he brought to Wake Forest. Wellman and his wife Linda have three daughters -- Angie,who works for ESPN Regional in Charlotte, Nicole, a student in the Wake Forest University Medical School; and Melissa, a graduate Ron and Linda Wellman student in the Wake Forest University counselor education program. 2002 Seattle Bowl Champions 115 coaches & staff athletic department staff
