FORT WORTH, TX: Texas Wesleyan University's Kevin Millikan has been named Red River Athletic Conference Athletic Director of the Year. The award was voted on by his peers.

 

In his first year as Texas Wesleyan's full time Athletic Director (Millikan held combined duties in the previous five years as A.D. and head men's golf coach) Texas Wesleyan's eight NAIA sports posted an overall record of 150-94 (.615). The Rams excelled in conference play, posting a record of 82-28 (.745) and winning RRAC Championships in Baseball, Men's Basketball, Men's Golf, and Softball. Five teams were ranked in the top-25 nationally while three made NAIA National Tournament appearances.

 

 

This year 31 Rams received All-Conference recognition while four were named NAIA All-American. Millikan's Rams also excelled in the classroom. Six athletes were named NAIA Scholar Athletes, while 82 posted GPA's of 3.0 or higher. In all, 242 student-athletes notched a cumulative GPA of 2.84.

 

This year Millikan also announced the expansion of the Athletic Department to include Cross Country and Track and hired an experienced coach in Natnael Amare to head the program. In addition Millikan has helped make tremendous improvements to the school's athletic facilities. A newly renovated Sid Richardson Center (Basketball, Volleyball, Table Tennis) opened in the fall of 2008, while improvements to Martin Field (Soccer) as well as a new University fitness center are also on track.
