Even to the casual viewer, it’s apparent that San Diego State athletics are on the rise with outright Mountain West Championships won in football, men’s basketball and women’s soccer.
Athletic Director Jim Sterk was rewarded for the school’s success Thursday, being named the Under Armour Athletic Director of the Year, voted on by the National Association of Collegiate Director of Athletics.
Sterk is one of four FBS athletic directors to take home the award, and out of those, is the only athletic director not from a Power Five conference.
The award reflects the athletic director’s devotion to student-athletes and positive impact on the community.
