Campus map of athletic facilities
As part of the Hesston College's "Enhancing Excellence" campaign, all outdoor
athletic facilities have been renovated. This is the architect's drawing
of the athletic facilities.
Yost Center
Yost Center houses a hardwood maple playing surface for two basketball
and two volleyball courts. Along the perimeter is a one-twelfth mile synthetic
jogging track.
The building includes two racquetball courts, four locker rooms, a training
room, coaches' offices, and a classroom. Bleacher seating for 1,000 is
available for games.
Campus Activities Center
The Campus Activities Center is a 15,000 square foot building that has
a synthetic playing surface designed for volleyball, basketball, or indoor
soccer. Also included is a weight-training and fitness center equipped
with free weights, standard weights, and other fitness equipment.
Tennis Courts
Four lighted tennis courts currently exist south of Yost Center, with two
more to be added. The college also has access to eight lighted courts at
the local high school.
Baseball Field
Hesston College boasts one of the best small college baseball stadiums
in the state.
Fans can view the game from the stadium seating behind the plate as
well on the bleacher seating above the dugouts.
With new lights and poles, the majority of games are held at night.
Players from Hesston, as well as other teams, love to play on this
top-notch field.
The field offers underground irrigation, a large scoreboard, a warning
track, and an eight foot fence that surrounds the entire facility.
This past summer saw the construction of a brand new hitting cage on
the southwest end of the field.
Soccer Field
Hesston College boasts one of the best college soccer-only fields in the
state. The fall of 1997 was the inaugural year for the brand new
game and practice facility. The new 120 x 75 field includes new lighting,
underground irrigation, new turf, new goals, electronic scoreboard, stadium
seating, and pressbox.
Softball Facilities
There is a practice diamond on the south side of campus. Games are played
on the lighted city diamond several blocks from campus.
Golf Course
The city of Hesston boasts a beautiful 18-hole course which is the home
course for the college's golf team.
