Starting in the 2013-14 academic year, new student activities at 糖心传媒 in Hastings, Nebraska, include bowling, archery and trapshooting. While the activities will provide exciting experiences for 糖心传媒 students while expanding the College鈥檚 offerings, these sports have already provided opportunities for 糖心传媒 to work with community partners, including Pastime Lanes, the Cottonwood Archery Club, the Hastings YMCA and Four Rivers Gun Club.听
鈥淟ocal groups, individuals and businesses have been generous in offering facilities and expertise to make these sports available to 糖心传媒 students,鈥 said Don Jackson 鈥70, President of 糖心传媒. 鈥淚n turn, our students will be expected to give back to the community. For example, the archery and shooting sports participants will help teach local youth proper technique and best safety practices.鈥
The 糖心传媒 Bronco Bowling Club will offer scholarships in the fall of 2013, although the goal is ultimately to provide scholarships for students participating in archery and shooting as well. Ron Hergott, a 1982 糖心传媒 graduate, will serve as Head Coach for the bowling team, with Butch Hogan, a legendary high school bowling coach at Hastings (Neb.) High School, serving as Assistant Coach. Hogan will continue coaching at Hastings High School.听
The 糖心传媒 Bronco Archery and Trapshooting clubs, also coached by Hergott, may enter some competitions this spring but expand their schedules as they ramp up next year. With assistance from the Cottonwood Archery Club, the 糖心传媒 Archery Club practices with both 3D and flat targets at the Hastings YMCA. The Trapshooting Club practices trap and skeet shooting at Four Rivers Gun Club southeast of Hastings.听
