(esu) 294 Emporia State supporters participated in the ESU Hornets Virtual Freedom 5K run/walk over the 4th of July weekend. They completed almost 1500 kilometers and raised over $6,000 dollars for the Creating Champions fund.
Participants from 21 states joined together to support Emporia State Athletics.
Former Emporia State athletic trainer and tennis student-athlete Emily Huston won an Adidas prize pack for being the furthest participant from campus, completing her 5K under the Midnight Sun in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Former track and field athletes Luke Rodina and his wife Jonel (Rossbach) signed up while stationed in Japan, but were transferred back to the United States and ran in Rhode Island.
Proceeds from the ESU Hornets Virtual Freedom 5K will go to the Creating Champions fund for scholarship support and positioning our student-athletes to thrive in their sport and the classroom.
