Manny

Manchester鈥檚 most famous fan is Manny, our mascot. You might see him venturing beyond the athletic fields from time to time, participating in various student activities on campus. And at the game, you never know, he just might challenge you to a dance-off at halftime!

The Smith Gate

The Smith Gate leading to the Manchester athletic facilities is a gift from a former student-athlete. The commemorative plaque, “Honor comes from playing by the rules,” reminds us that being a Spartan student-athlete goes far beyond the confines of the playing field.
