On May 2, 2026, alumni, parents, and students gathered for dinner to honor five decades of �ֲ��ý Softball—a program built on a foundation of grit, community, and excellence. Fifty years after the first generation of Bobcats took to the field, that original spirit continues to define our team today. We hope these photos serve as a wonderful reminder of a milestone weekend spent toasting the student-athletes who have made this program so special.
