By Rachel Potter–<\/strong>There is no better way to spend your spring break than in the warm sun doing what you love.\u00a0 Morningside College student athletes have the opportunity to compete in some of the southern parts of the US over spring break.<\/p>\n

The men’s and women\u2019s golf teams will spend their break in West Palm Beach, Florida. The softball team will be soaking up the sun in the Gulf Shores of Alabama. The baseball team will travel to California. The bowling team will not spend \u00a0week in the sun, but the men\u2019s team and two individual women will compete in sectionals in Chicago, Illinois.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis trip is a great experience for our team, it allows us to play some great teams so it mentally prepares us and also we get to see what we need to work on before the season starts and get closer as a team,” said sophomore golfer\u00a0Myla Brown.<\/p>\n

Traveling during spring break allows athletes to play in different tournaments without missing classes.\u00a0 Each athlete is responsible for raising money to pay for their ticket for the trips. The athletes sell t-shirts, golf accessories, popcorn, Scentsies, and work the concession stand for other sporting events to name a few of the ways they fund raise.<\/p>\n
