A Message from Coach

As a Class of ’83 cross country alum, I often reflect on my time as a student-athlete at Hanover. Those memories are filled with some of the experiences that helped to shape and mold me into the person I am today. The time spent with teammates both on and off the course created lifelong relationships. The bond of long bus rides, overnight trips to meets throughout the Midwest, and the adrenaline of competing together at a high level are things that made my time at Hanover special.

Now, as the coach of that same program, I want my athletes to have those experiences. The lessons learned and memories made as a collegiate athlete are forever. The support of those who have come before is vital to continuing the tradition and legacy of Hanover Cross Country. Join me in helping this latest generation of cross country athletes experience some of the same thrills and lasting memories that we all know.

Brady Wells, Class of '83
Head Men’s/Women’s XC Coach

Win for 10 Endowed Fund for Women's Basketball $100,000 MATCHED!

To commemorate the inaugural Athletics Day of Giving at Hanover College, we invite you to join us in support of the Women's Basketball Team by way of the Win for 10 Endowed Fund for Women's Basketball. An anonymous donor has generously offered to match, dollar for dollar, all gifts up to $100,000.

This fund will live in perpetuity at Hanover and will be part of the legacy at the College of all who support it. The name "Win for 10" honors #10 Lexi Riggles '22, who passed away unexpectedly during her senior year. It is also the team's pre-game chant and inspires them to leave it all on the court for Lexi.

We hope you'll join us in support of the fund today and take advantage of the match that will double the impact of your gift! This is an incredible opportunity to make a big difference for the Women's Basketball program we love, for generations to come!
