MBU’s Athletic Training Department has experienced extensive growth with the addition of new sport teams on campus. The trainers have unified to serve athletes spiritually and physically.
MBU hosted their third annual Homecoming Football game last Saturday. Students, faculty, and staff met to roast marshmallows and grill hotdogs and hamburgers. MBU’s dance team performed right before Spartan Walk to pump up the crowd.
Mini Spartans from all over the St. Louis area learned new skills and techniques taught by the Spirit Program during a recent clinic. After the clinic, Mini Spartans had the opportunity to perform alongside MBU’s Spirit Program during the halftime show.
Hundreds of marchers turned out recently in support of Mia Brueggeman, daughter of one of the team’s volunteer coaches, and raised donations during the Adult Congenital Heart Walk.
