MSUB’s Athletic Department welcomes students from Sandstone Elementary School to campus on Monday to get an inside look at the university and interact with coaches and student-athletes. BILLINGS, Mont. – The Montana State University Billings athletic department continued its community engagement initiative Monday, welcoming students from Sandstone Elementary School for a field trip for the second year in-a-row on the main campus. “It’s always a breath of fresh air to welcome these young students onto our campus and introduce them to Yellowjacket Athletics,” said MSUB director of athletics Krista Montague. “It’s important to give back to our local community, as our student-athletes would not have the same opportunities without the support we receive from Billings. We are looking forward to working with these students in the future as the next generation of Yellowjackets.” Around 80 students toured the MSUB campus before breaking up into groups and working with Yellowjacket coaches and student-athletes at various stations around the Physical Education Building. Activities ranged from basketball in Alterowitz Gym to kickball on the softball field at Avitus Group Stadium.
