Rec Sports offers variety for students

Intramural sports begin this week and some of the new fields will be open for practice.

KWTS Sports Director Tony Collins is among the students reveling in the excitement.  “This year Intramurals will be 10 times better because of the new fields,” Collins said.  “There won’t be as many cancellations due to the fields being able to soak up the water faster.”

Senior Broadcasting major Chase Horn, who played softball last semester, was more excited about the thought of games staying on campus rather than being moved to a different location.  “Last year during softball season, we had to play our games at different locations because of the poor field conditions,” said Horn.  “It’ll be nice this year to actually go out and play without having to worry about games or playoffs being cancelled.

While some students participate as something to keep them busy, that doesn’t seem to be the case for these students.  Collins said his favorite part is spending time with friends and creating lasting memories.

“I enjoy going out there after a stressful day,” Collins said.  “It’s a great way to bond with my friends and have some fun at the same time.  Plus winning feels really good as well.”

For Horn, he just loves friendly competition out on the field with everyone.  “I just love competition out there,” he said.  “I played sports in high school and so its second nature for me to want to go out there and play some more while I’m in college.”

If students would like more information about Intramurals, they can visit the Rec Sports office located in the Virgil Henson Activities Center, Room 210.  Students can also call them at 806-651-2400 or email them at [email protected].
