LWC Athletics lends a hand in campus-wide day of service Malvina Farkle Day celebrated on Wednesday. Teams contribute To street cleanups in Columbia and Dunbar Cemetery, Cranmer Dining center, Green River Animal Shelter, and Adair County Little League Park By Tyler Scott News from Lindsey Wilson College COLUMBIA, KY - Lindsey Wilson College student-athletes took a break from classes and competitions Wednesday to embrace the community that supports Blue Raider athletics throughout the year. The Lindsey Wilson athletic programs joined the rest of the student body in a day of community service as the campus celebrated Malvina Farkle Day. Members of the bowling, football, men's basketball, wrestling, cycling, golf teams, soccer teams, tennis teams and cross country and track and field teams were part of a massive clean-up operation on the streets of Columbia. The men's and women's swimming teams helped clean up the Dunbar Cemetery, repairing and painting fences. Cross country and track and field head coach Jamaine Gordon can relate to helping out on Malvina Farkle Day as he took part in the tradition when he attended Lindsey Wilson as a student-athlete. "When I was a student, we saw it as simply going to pick up trash and help clean up the area," Gordon explained. "But when you are a coach and you see the team bonding through their interactions together, it makes a big difference overall." The women's basketball team helped clean the Cranmer Dining Center. The cheerleading and dance teams visited the Green River Animal Shelter to spend time playing with abandoned dogs and cleaning the shelter. The Blue Raider baseball and softball teams set out improving and renovating the Adair High School softball field and Adair County Little League Park. Lindsey Wilson baseball coach Jonathan Burton said his team works toward building a strong working relationship with the community. "Each year we try and get our guys more involved and acclimated to doing more in our community and show that we do want to help and we do care," Burton said. "You don't want to be labeled as just an athlete. You want to be labeled as a student-athlete and someone that cares about more than just a particular sport." "We all want to work together and anytime you are in a small town we need that community support," Burton said. "It's important that we work hard and be visible in what we do and let the community know we care about more than just baseball." This story was posted on 2014-09-12 02:51:28
