The Jefferson High School softball field will officially become Larry Niemeyer Field on Wednesday, June 5.  The naming ceremony will be held at 7:15 p.m., between the Jefferson - Waterloo West games. The event was originally scheduled for May 28 but was postponed by rain.

The special program will include comments by CRCSD Superintendent Dr. Dave Benson, the presentation of a naming plaque, and the unveiling of the Larry Niemeyer Field sign by Niemeyer and his family.

Superintendent Benson approved the request by the Jefferson High School Booster Club and administration to name the field in honor of Niemeyer last fall.

Niemeyer led Jefferson High School to 19 state softball tournaments and 3 state championships. His total of 2,089 softball victories stands as the most ever by any high school coach.
