Kansas Wesleyan\u2019s weight room \u2014 the Everett Morgan Strength Training Center \u2014 will host a soft opening on Thursday, Aug. 29, at 1 p.m.<\/p>\n

The weight room is opening after a complete renovation, including branded weights, new equipment and the construction of an office for the university\u2019s first full-time strength and conditioning coach.<\/p>\n

Custom racks, benches, dumbbells, new flooring, cardio equipment, TVs and a new sound system are all being installed, with the expectation that KWU will have one of the best strength and conditioning facilities in the NAIA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is another feather in the cap of Kansas Wesleyan,\u201d said Ken Oliver, executive vice president of advancement and university operations. \u201cNumerous supporters have come together to help fund this project, which will better the physical development and preparation of countless Coyotes. We look forward to this space being an important part of the KWU experience!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Everett Morgan Strength Training Center is a vital part of the KWU lifestyle, as it serves a critical role for both athletics and the entirety of the KWU student body. It is also used as an academic lab.<\/p>\n

\u201cA large number of supporters have worked to make this possible,\u201d said Oliver. \u201cBusiness and individual donors helped light the fire at Night with the Yotes, while the Kieborz family, Mac Steele, Salina Regional Health Center, Bob Meyer and Marla and Lee Beikman were particularly vital in getting it across the finish line. There will be small pieces added after Thursday\u2019s event, but the facility will be ready for Coyotes to use, and we couldn\u2019t be more excited!\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":35488,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[153],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35487","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-athletics"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCoyote Weight Room to Reopen Thursday -
