Annual Season Kick Off Event
Kearney, Neb. – The annual “Here Come the Lopers!” will be held this Saturday, Aug. 26, around the City of Kearney.
On a Saturday at the beginning of the fall semester every year, Nebraska Kearney student-athletes and coaches go to area businesses around town. The Lopers introduce themselves, hand out the UNK Athletics poster and take pictures with the employees, owners and fans.
The event begins at 11 a.m. and runs for approximately one hour. Each team will be walking four or five blocks and stopping at businesses that are open at that time. Some of the starting points are MONA East and West sides, the Kearney Public Library, Runza South and Kearney Clinic. There are 17 starting points overall with volleyball and soccer not taking part this year due to home scrimmages.
Fans can follow along via UNK Athletics social media channels and will see #HereComeTheLopers throughout the day.
