The Future of Holy Names Athletics | | |
|
Getting to Know Athletic Director Devon Tomson
To say he had big shoes to fill would be an understatement, following the likes of Carlo Cherubino and Teagan Waddingham. Fortunately, for Devon Tomson, athletics is in his blood, so he’s done his part to make his transition a seamless one.
“I had been a director of several organizations in my career, so being an Athletic Director like my father (longtime Bard College Men’s Soccer Coach and AD Joel Tomson) was something that I had always kept as an option for my own career.”
