Cyclone Athletics to host 45th anniversary celebration

Moraine Valley Community College will host the Athletics 45th anniversary celebration on Saturday, April 30, from 1 to 3 p.m., in the gym of the Health, Fitness & Recreation Center (Building H) on the main campus, 9000 W. College Parkway, Palos Hills.

This event is geared toward alumni and members of the community as well as their families. There will be giveaways, food, music as well as games for children and the opportunity to watch the Cyclone men's tennis team and softball team compete. The annual Athletics Hall of Fame ceremony also will take place at 2 p.m.

"We're very proud of how much our Athletics program has grown over these last 45 years from its humble beginnings. We've had many influential coaches, some amazing athletes and supportive staff to make Moraine Valley Athletics so successful," said Bill Finn, Moraine Valley Athletics director. "We're really excited to showcase our facilities and athletes while celebrating our proud traditions at our celebration, especially since it'll coincide with our Hall of Fame ceremony. It'll be a fun day for everyone."

This event is free for all who attend. Because the weather forecast on Saturday is for thunderstorms, everything will be held in the Building H gym.
