MSU Sports

Most team sports have their own staff of athletic trainers that specialize in that specific sport, but the club sports at MSU share them.

The Spartans are nationally known for its men’s varsity program, but there is a women’s club team who wants to attain the same status.

The Spartans have a track record of dominating the competition in their previous league, so it was time to move up for stronger challenges.

Being in shape to be on a rowing crew is challenging, but knowing the experience is fulfilling brings MSU students to the popular club.

The challenges of triathlon are everywhere: long stretches of training, acquiring equipment, and dedicating the time to improve. MSU’s student triathletes are committed to improving and the rankings are reflecting the hard work.

“My son wasn’t for sale,...It wasn’t a factor to me at all, to any of us, actually. I’m not just speaking for myself. It was never about the money… Yeah, there were offers, but we weren’t trying to hear that.” - Nikki Chiles (Mother of MSU quarterback Aidan Chiles)

The band wants to bring energy and Spartan spirit to every sporting event, at home and on the road for MSU Athletics.
