HILLSBORO, Kan. – Tabor College is planning an Athletic Spring Showcase featuring several of our sports teams, food and a lot of fun from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Saturday April 25 at several of our athletic facilities on campus.
This event will be a showcase for our football, and men’s and women’s soccer teams, who have been working hard during their spring practice seasons. It’s also a special day for our baseball and softball teams, who are closing out their regular season home games.
Rusty Allen, vice president for intercollegiate athletics, is pleased to be able to have so many of our teams competing on the same day.
“The Spring Showcase has become a tradition at Tabor College,” Allen said. “Not only is it a lot of fun to have friends, alumni and family of our athletes on campus for the day, but it allows everyone an opportunity for a big picture look at the excellence we strive for in the athletic department.”
This day is a culmination of hours of practice and preparation for actual competition or inter-squad scrimmages.
“All of our athletic teams work very hard in season and during the off-season to develop competitive excellence. We believe excellence enhances ministry,” Allen added.
Tabor College president Jules Glanzer is thrilled to have many of our athletes supporting one another in a special event for the Bluejays.
“Athletics is part of the Tabor experience,” Glanzer said. “They give us memories that last for a lifetime. We count time by certain athletic events. With the athletic programs at Tabor increasing in strength and prestige, hanging around winners is just plain fun.”
