JAMESTOWN, N.D. (UJ) – Representatives from University of Jamestown and Jamestown Public Schools announced that Darin Erstad donated to the campaign to renovate the Track and Football Field at the Charlotte and Gordon Hansen Stadium (formerly Taylor Stadium) and to provide a turf practice field at Jamestown High School.
In recognition of his donation and support of the Jamestown community, the turf practice field located on the Jamestown High School campus will be named Erstad Field.
The field will support practices and activities for both Jamestown Public Schools and UJ as part of the $11.7 million renovation project. “The Erstad Family is honored to be part of this project and give kids an opportunity in all sports to maximize their development,” said Erstad. “The community of Jamestown has given our entire family such wonderful memories, and we look forward to seeing generations of kids create their own memories while pursuing their dreams.”

Jamestown, which won its two opening games on Wednesday, finishes with a record of 34-14.
The Warriors took an early 1-0 lead on a double by Kaitlin Anders, but the Jimmies tied the game on Kassi Ward (JR/Olympia, Wash.)’s third-inning double.
Roni Foote hit a two-run home run off Kat Miska (JR/Pequot Lakes, Minn.) in the bottom of the fourth to put Midland ahead 3-1, then four straight hits off Miska in the bottom of the fifth led to three runs and a 6-1 lead. The Warriors added another run later in the inning off reliever Lucy Sinkkonen (FR/Cloquet, Minn.) to take 7-1 lead into the sixth.
