Guthrie added that he relies heavily on his interns each year. This year’ s interns were Luke Stuhlsatz from Kansas State University and Jill Uloza from Delaware Valley University.
Said Duncan,“ The best part of the experience is seeing the Little League players when they first see these fields and the first time they get to be out on them. Giving the kids a world-class playing surface is the best part of it. That is followed closely by the camaraderie of being part of the crew and sharing the experience.”
Duncan was born and raised in Williamsport, so he grew up very familiar with the event. The 2025 LLBWS was his twelfth time volunteering to be part of the grounds crew.
“ I’ ve been in this industry for 30 years, and the best part about it is the people,” he said.“ So many people have helped me along the way that I feel it’ s my duty to help others.”
This was the first year at LLBWS for Noel Harryman, CSFM, who wanted to not only give back to the Williamsport community, but also gain experience that he could bring back to his team and to the students and community of Jeffco Public Schools.
“ I’ d like to express my sincere appreciation to the entire volunteer team for sharing their time, talents and camaraderie with me. It was an honor to be a part of such a dedicated group,” said Harryman.
Clinton, who just wrapped his tenth year as a LLBWS volunteer, added,“ It is a great experience working with Rob Guthrie
