Hester Athletics: The dynasty rolls on!

Intramural Sports at Murray State University are one of the many reasons that helps make the Residential College System so successful in improving the college experience for students. Intramurals at Murray State include independent, Greek, and Residential College Teams throughout many sporting venues. The friendly yet competitive atmosphere provides a platform for individuals to make new friendships and improve ones physical well being, all while having a good time.

The Hester Residential College Hedgehogs have excelled in intramural sports for the past few years, having received the All-Sports President's Cup for Athletics for the past four years, and five out of the last six years. The reputable Hedgehog Athletics program participates in the following sports each academic year: Softball, Flag Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Golf, Soccer, Tennis, and the newly implemented Swimming. Students who participate on A teams and play regularly throughout three seasons of competition in one of the major team sports, or play regularly throughout two seasons in the same two sports, or who play regularly throughout one season of competition in any three sports are eligible for a coveted Hester Athletics jacket. The jackets are distributed at the annual sports banquet in the spring.

For more information about participating in athletics at Hester, contact one of the Athletic Directors.

Keep up to date with the Dynasty!

During the fall semester, Hester's intramural athletes competed in softball first. Hester's men's team finished the regular season with a record of 4-3 which made them eligible for the tournament. The men won their first round game but then lost in the second round, ending their season 5-4. The women's team finished their regular season 3-4, not making them eligible for the tournament. Even though they finished with a losing record, they played hard and had a great time.

In October, Hester's intramural athletes began their flag football season. The men's team finished their season 3-3 and the women's team finished their season 4-3. Both teams qualified for the tournament but lost in the first round.

Congratulations to all of the Hester intramural athletes who competed this Fall. Thank you for a great semester of intramurals and good luck in the Spring semester!
