RTI Threads and Bob & Ellen's are hosting a D1 All-Star Athlete Showcase on Tuesday, July 14, from 4:00-6:00 p.m. at 100 S. Sodrac Drive, Suite 140 & 150, North Sioux City, SD. The free community event gives fans the opportunity to meet NCAA Division I student-athletes, take photos, and receive autographs.
Featured athletes include Olivia Martin from Nebraska Volleyball; Jackson McAndrew and Jasen Green from Creighton Men's Basketball; and Ava Zediker, Norah Gessert, and Neleigh Gessert from Creighton Women's Basketball. The showcase is open to the public and welcomes families, sports fans, and members of the Siouxland community.
Attendees will have the chance to interact with the athletes, celebrate collegiate athletics, and explore the RTI Threads retail showroom. This event underscores the growing trend of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) partnerships, where brands like RTI Threads collaborate directly with student-athletes to create officially licensed apparel. As an NIL partner, RTI Threads aims to connect fans with the athletes they support while providing a platform for athletes to engage with their community.
The showcase not only offers a unique fan experience but also highlights the importance of local businesses in supporting collegiate sports. By hosting such events, RTI Threads and Bob & Ellen's are fostering a sense of community and recognition for student-athletes who often balance rigorous academic and athletic schedules.
