LU Swim & Dive Team Tryouts

Tuesday, October 8 | 5-6 p.m.
Wellness Center Pool – First Floor

Learn about the swim & dive program and see if it’s something you’d like to try!

Anyone with prior acrobatics (cheer, dance, gymnastics) would be excellent divers. Anyone comfortable with swimming would have a great opportunity to challenge themselves to becoming better swimmers—a lifelong skill!

The Crowdfund for Lawrence Athletics

This year each of our 24 NCAA Athletics programs are raising funds to support their programs directly. Projects will be announced on March 28. Will you help us get in the game and support Lawrence Athletics and our student-athletes?

Give to the Crowdfund!

With all teams working together, the overall goal for the crowdfund is to surpass 850 donors in 7 days! We are depending on our passionate Viking community of alumni, parents, and friends to come together and help us reach this goal. Every single gift matters, and every single donor counts.

  • Pick up on game days will be at the Wriston Turnaround.
  • First pickup will be 45 minutes before the game starts, and then the driver will loop back around for a second pass.

We encourage everyone to take advantage of this resource and go and support the LU Hockey teams!
