KEARNEY — The official ribbon cutting was held for the City of Kearney SportsPlex facility and was hosted by the Kearney Area Chamber of Commerce during the late afternoon of Thursday, April 10.

During the event, Brenda Jensen, City Manager of Kearney, announced that the three lane running track around the gymnasium space of the facility would be named in honor of Mike Morgan, the former city manager.

The plaque reads in part, “This track is dedicated in honor of Michael W. Morgan whose passion for running was matched only by his dedication to the City of Kearney.”

“His love for the sport endured throughout his life reflecting  his commitment to perseverance, discipline and excellence – values he also brought to his 19 years as Kearney’s City Manager.”
