Congrats to Michael Wiechmann on his commitment to continue his baseball career at Coe College next year.

Michael has put in a lot of work over the years and has built himself into a great baseball player. Anybody attending a Ballard baseball game knows that Michael brings the energy and is a team leader.

He will be seeking a degree in Kinesiology and hopes to have a career in Physical Therapy.

Best of luck to Michael this Sr Season. Can’t wait to continue to see all of the hard work pay off.

Thanks to Ava Faber, we have our first DMACC flag here at the Hangar! We want to congratulate Ava on her commitment to continue her softball career at DMACC next fall. Ava is another member from the absolutely loaded Ankeny Centennial team that we had the fortune to have train at the Hangar this offseason.

Ava plans to earn a degree in Business. Ava, and this Centennial team have big expectations this season and we can’t wait to root them along their path back to Fort Dodge!

The Hangar has hung flags for current members that commit to play college athletics over the years. These athletes are role models for our younger members as they showcase the work ethic it takes to achieve success on the athletic field.

To kickstart our 2026 college athletes we begin with two Ankeny Centennial stars. If you didn’t see these girls when you arrived the noise of their bats certainly got your attention! Huge congratulations to these two outstanding girls for everything they’ve accomplished on and off the field.

🥎 Jordyn Kennedy
Heading to study Kinesiology at the University of Minnesota. Jordyn leaves behind one of the most decorated softball careers around:
• 3x 1st Team All-State
• 3rd Team All-State honors as an 8th grader
• 4x 1st Team All-Conference
• Captain of the 5A All Tournament team

Best of Luck up North and remember they don’t really mean it when they chant “Who hates Iowa?”

🥎 Mady Ott
Another star from the loaded Centennial team, Mady will be continuing her journey at Drake University to study Business after an incredible career:
• Delivered the unforgettable walk-off against Urbandale
• Member of the 2023 State Championship team
• All-Tournament Team selection
• 2nd Team All-Conference in Volleyball

Both athletes represent what dedication, toughness, and commitment look like. They should be proud of what they accomplished and we are proud to have had them as Hangar members this past offseason.

Best of luck this upcoming season!!

The Dr. Dish is currently down and taking a well deserved break.

The good Dr. is averaging a little over 10,000 shots a month since its last motor change!

It will be back and operational soon so our athletes can get back to working in the dark!
