Black Hills State athletics is excited to announce that Lueders Food Centers has joined BHSU as a new corporate sponsor in becoming the Official Grocery Store of Yellow Jacket Athletics.

Lueders is also sponsoring a new fueling station located in the Donald E. Young Center to help student athletes better fuel themselves in preparation for competition.

"The fueling station is an integral part to the success of BHSU athletics," said Athletic Performance Assistant Director Derek Van Blarcom. "Nutrition is the driver of performance and the fueling station will better help us serve the needs of our student athletes."

This station will be stocked by Lueders to provide healthy options to our student-athletes every day.

"The fueling station will be a great addition for post work out nutrition and allows us an opportunity to offer a state of the art fueling station at the Division II level," Blarcom added.

BHSU understands the importance of nutrition as well as shopping locally and hopes this partnership can help shine a light on that within our community.

"We are thrilled for Lueders Food Centers to become the official grocery store of Black Hills State University and Black Hills State University Athletics," said Assistant Athletic Director Thayer Trenhaile. "Lueders is positioned to serve our students, alumni and fans with their locations in Spearfish and Belle Fouche. We look forward to helping build connections with our passionate Yellow Jacket Family."
