Ohlone dedicates softball field in honor of former coach Donna Runyon

FREMONT – The Ohlone College softball team will have a new place to call home when it begins play in the upcoming spring 2024 season.

Although the complex is still the same, the scoreboard at the facility now proudly bears the name Runyon Field. The field was renamed and dedicated in honor of the long-time former Ohlone head coach on Saturday, Oct. 28 as part of the annual Alumni Game weekend.

Runyon, who led the Renegades for 27 years, was on hand for the ceremony along with over 60 of her former student-athletes as well as past coaches and staff.

She was recognized by Fremont Vice Mayor Teresa Cox and Ohlone Dean of Kinesiology, Athletics, and Performing Arts Chris Warden.
