Meredith College will break ground this spring on a new athletic complex that will include athletic training space for softball, tennis, and golf, along with a student lounge. Lights have already been installed at the tennis courts and resurfacing of the tennis courts will take place as well. The softball complex will have two large indoor batting cages that will double as indoor golf driving ranges and locker rooms. There will also be a new LED wireless scoreboard. 

Chris Speight Brown, ’76, gave a $1 million lead gift that will name the Estes-Speight Family Athletic Complex in memory of her mother Mary Estes Speight, ‘53, and her father Bobby Speight. 

We need your support to fast-track phase one of the construction and start phase two, which will include other amenities for the complex. Meredith’s athletic program has had continued success with 10 athletic teams and keeping facilities up-to-date will support Meredith’s enrollment of student-athletes. Meredith student-athletes and coaches appreciate the support they receive from alumnae, friends, and the campus community.
