After receiving a world-class new floor in 2025, the Rike Center updates have continued in recent months with new, automatic Cardinalred bleachers installed this past spring, as well as a renovation of the weight room in summer 2026.
The generosity of several donors over the past few years have made the renovations possible, with leadership-level gifts coming from the Vida S. Clements Foundation, “O” Club Foundation, Roush Family Foundation, Bud Yoest ’53, Dave ’68 and Cynda Schuler ’70 Widder, and Deb Scott Thresher ’77 and her late husband, Mark Thresher ’78, who served on the Board of Trustees for 21 years and was chairman for eight of those years.
