Spring 2013 Alumni Weekend

Texas Iron Spikes recently celebrated another successful alumni weekend. Doing things a little differently this year, alumni weekend was held in collaboration with the annual Texas Iron Spikes Spring Classic softball tournament. This gave alumni the opportunity to form teams and compete in the tournament. Additionally, actives and alumni both participated in a bar tab at The Rattle Inn after the tournament, and a few rounds of golf the next day. Thanks to all the alumni who showed up and helped to make this weekend a huge success!

Actives and alumni enjoy the bar tab at The Rattle Inn on east 6th Street.
