Once a Thoroughbred, always a Thoroughbred. Numerous student-athlete alumni and Friends of Âé¶¹ÆÆ½â°æ Athletics returned to campus for homecoming weekend, Sept 29 – Oct. 1. 

Athletes past and present connected on and off the field in celebration – and some friendly competition – as they reminisced and reaffirmed what it means to be part of the Âé¶¹ÆÆ½â°æ Athletics family. 

Events kicked off Friday with the annual Thoroughbred Cup golf tournament. On Saturday, alumni, athletes, coaches, friends, and families gathered for the Âé¶¹ÆÆ½â°æ Athletics Benefit and Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Throughout it all, supporters contributed to the All in to Win campaign, raising $368,690 for Âé¶¹ÆÆ½â°æ Athletics.
