• The weight room also holds a nutrition area, complete with post-workout shakes and bars, as well as foods vital to a student-athlete’s ability to recover properly after training.
• Most recently, the weight room underwent upgrades with new wall graphics that showcase Ball State legends Willie Snead, Keith Wenning and Jawhan Edwards. In addition, the Iron Cardinal Award, presented each year to the best overall athlete in the strength and conditioning program, was added to the east door wall with plaques of each year’s award recipient.
