Newsletter #4
Our players have completed
their last day of finals and the fall semester is officially a wrap! There were many things accomplished this fall
and we are excited about the direction of the program.
Winning Wolverine Challenge
Cameron Scudder and
Conner Hall were crowned the first Winning Wolverines. It is an honor that is earned through our
Winning Wolverine Challenge that lasted seven weeks this fall. The Winning Wolverines are the players who
best represent the blood, sweat, and grit that encompasses the players who play
in our program.
The challenge is a
series is a series of events designed to expand the limits of our players
mentally and physically. Together they
attack different challenges such as holding 45-pound plates in each hand for as
long as possible, running a 1.8 mile campus loop, med ball throws, focus board
challenges, etc. with points being awarded based on performance. The challenge concluded with an obstacle
course throughout campus and the baseball facility worth a significant number
of points. The grit displayed by Scudder
and Hall was evident over the entire seven week challenge and also showed
through as they each held the fastest time for their categories (pitcher and position
player) in the obstacle course.
