RoadRunners Welcome New Billet Coordinator

Press Release

The Topeka RoadRunners are proud to announce Lynn Holthaus will be the new Billet Coordinator. Kevin and Tonya Grauberger, Billet Coordinators for the team since its arrival in Topeka, are retiring to focus on their growing family.

Billet Families are a very important part of the RoadRunner organization. Every year, families from Topeka and the surrounding communities open their hearts and homes to these 10 to 20-year-old elite athletes. They provide the caring, nurturing, and stable environment necessary for the player to be his best.

Lynn Holthaus certainly has the experience necessary to help the RoadRunners Billet Program thrive. She has been a Billet mom for all six seasons that the RoadRunners have been in Topeka. Prior to that, Mrs. Holthaus opened her home for the Topeka Scarecrows for two seasons. In all, she and her family have housed around 15 players, becoming an integral part of their lives while providing a caring, supportive environment.

“My time as a Billet parent has been extremely fun and rewarding,” said Mrs. Holthaus about the program. “Having the opportunity to help this team and these players grow throughout the years has been a joy of mine and I felt that it was time to take a more hands-on role in the Billet Program.”
