Northwest Missourian
Bearcat Pitch
receives honor
Bearcat Pitch, maintained by
Northwest Landscape Services, was
named by Pioneer Athletics as one
of its 2013 Fields of Excellence award
winners in recognition of the fields
maintenance program and presentation.
Pioneer Athletics will award
Northwest a certificate as well as a
banner to display at Bearcat Pitch.
Northwest Landscape Services treats
and maintains roughly 100 acres on
campus. In addition to mowing the
field two or three times a week, staff
members make stencils for logos that
are painted onto the fields.

Ebrecht leads the team, which consisted of sports field groundskeepers
as well as five student workers in 2013.
Northwest received the award in
2006 for its management of the turf at
