IWU’s DeMichael Repeats as Crossroads League AD of the Year
AVON, Ohio – Indiana Wesleyan’s Mark DeMichael has been named the 2019-2020 Crossroads League Athletic Director of the Year for a second-straight time. The honor is DeMichael’s fifth award in the past nine years.
“The Athletic Director-of-the-Year Award is a direct reflection of the outstanding work done by everyone in our athletic department,” said DeMichael. “The fact that it is an award voted on by friends and colleagues in the Crossroads League makes it very meaningful.”
DeMichael recently wrapped up his 12th and final year as Indiana Wesleyan’s Athletic Director, after taking over the department in 2008. During the 2019-2020 year, DeMichael saw IWU claim the Crossroads League All-Sports Championship for the 11th time under his watch.
In addition to finishing first or second in eight of the 11 sports offered by the Crossroads League during the COVID-19 shortened year, Indiana Wesleyan secured six league titles, saw every varsity program post a grade-point average over 3.0 and led the league with 44 CL Athlete-of-the-Week honors.
The Crossroads League Athletic Director-of-the-Year honor is voted on by the 10 Athletic Directors from the Crossroads League and announced each summer.
