Todd Upton has been a supporter of the OU athletic department for many years. Through Dillman and Upton Hardware and Lumber in Rochester, his support has taken on greater opportunities.
Improvements recently made in the pool and on the baseball field are thanks in great part to Todd's generosity and knowledge. Through the Lumber company, Todd donated the lumber for the deck area around the new diving boards, something which has given that area a much nicer look and added a higher touch of class to that area of the pool. The baseball field was certainly lacking prior to Todd's intervention. The first two years of the reinstated program, there were no dugouts to protect the teams from the elements, something very important to baseball in Michigan in April. Thanks to the donation of lumber, we were able to build two dugouts and a much needed press box. His cooperative attitude and free advice have been very supportive to the program.
