On Saturday, April 23rd, the Whippet Softball Team hosted Brodhead in a doubleheader. In between games, the Varsity Softball Field was named in honor of the late softball coach Tim Hering.

Attending the ceremony were two of Coach Hering’s daughters, Kelly and Laura, along with their families. Also celebrating this special occasion were many former players, coaches, and friends.

Special thanks go to the Coulthart family for agreeing to share in the naming of the facility along with Larry Kachel and Don Vruwink who took the initiative to get this naming process moving forward.  Thanks go to Athletic Director Justin Crandall and Athletic Assistant Shannon Cushman for all of their hard work in making this day a success.

Guest speakers along with Kelly and Laura were Justin Crandall, Don Vruwink, Diane Schwab, Larry Kachel, and Laurie Kyle Mack.
