College Sports Information Directors of America

The UVa-Wise athletic department announces Chris Myers as the new sports information director. Myers joins the Highland Cavalier family after spending the past three years in a similar capacity at NCAA Division II East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania.

Myers will take over the direction of the 11-sport NAIA sports information department of UVa-Wise. The Highland Cavaliers compete in the Mid-South Conference in football and the Appalachain Athletic Conference in all other sports.

“We are excited to have Chris on board starting today,” said UVa-Wise assistant athletic director Danny Sterling. “He brings a high level of experience and his professionalism will be a welcomed addition to the staff.”

Myers is a veteran to the field of collegiate sports information entering his seventh year as a sports information director and 10th year overall in the profession. He comes to the Cavaliers after directing the 19 team sport information department including NCAA Division I wrestling over the past three years (2002-05) at East Stroudsburg University.

“I am excited to come to UVa-Wise and the opportunity to take the sports information department to new heights,” tells Myers. “There is a lot of potential to do great things here and plan to be the foundation to help realize this untapped potential.”

Before heading to East Stroudsburg, Myers spent one year as the sports information director at Denison University in Granville, Ohio, and two years at McMurry University in Abilene, Texas. He was also assistant sports information director at Clarion University of Pennsylvania for two years and spent two seasons in minor league baseball with the Jamestown Jammers of the New York-Penn League.

The Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania native earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from Clarion University of Pennsylvania and a master’s degree in sport management from East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania. He, his wife and sons are excited to reside in Wise.
