Two coaches at Lyon College in Batesville have been promoted to associate athletic directors.
The women’s head basketball coach, Tracy Stewart-Lange, and the women’s head softball coach, Elliott Sampley, received the promotions, said Kevin Jenkins, the athletics director (AD) at Lyon.
Jenkins said Stewart-Lange is now the associate AD for advancement and marketing while Sampley is now the associate AD for compliance at Lyon.
“I am honored that Coach Jenkins would consider me for the position,” said Sampley. “I look forward to assisting in the growth of Lyon College in any way I can. “
“I am grateful for the opportunity to expand and help the athletic department and college at the same time,” said Stewart-Lange. “It will be a balancing act with coaching and additional duties, but I am excited for the new challenges it will bring.”
