Mission Making a Comeback

Mission College has begun the process to restore athletic programs, President Tom Oliver said.

In a best-case scenario the school would field baseball and softball teams next spring, and men’s and women’s soccer and golf teams next school year.

Mission dropped athletics in July 1997 because of budget constraints.
