GO THE DISTANCE

GO THE DISTANCE

cgibbs

Each year, a small number of Maryville student-athletes are not able to graduate on time. As a result, they lose their athletics scholarships, putting the completion of their degree in jeopardy. For this reason, Maryville created the Go the Distance scholarship fund. Gifts to the fund help provide an unprecedented number of opportunities for these student-athletes. In September, Maryville hosted the Go the Distance Virtual Run in conjunction with virtual homecoming events. Jackie Joyner-Kersee, three-time Olympic gold medalist and East St. Louis native, served as honorary chair of the event. Race participants tuned in virtually for the awards ceremony, featuring entertainment by Soul of Ferguson Revue featuring Brian Owens and the announcement of division winners, at the conclusion of homecoming week. Participants could run or walk one mile, a 5k or a 10k, with $12,000 raised to benefit the fund.
