Read the whole story here.Garnett Purnell says he’s in heaven, and he has a long list of guardian angels to thank for helping him get there. Now he’s returning the favor by helping others find their own paradise.
Purnell is in his 10th year as director of athletics and recreation at Wittenberg, and after walking a path that led him through high school administration, coaching, compliance oversight, a stint on the NCAA staff and the rehabilitation of a Division I athletics program, he says he feels no urge to move further along from the Division III program he now leads.
Founded in 1983, the NCAC is commited to equity, a broad base of athletic programs, and excellence in academics and has served as a model for conferences throughout the country. The North Coast membership stretches across Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana: Allegheny, Denison, DePauw, Hiram, Kenyon, Oberlin, Ohio Wesleyan, Wabash, Wittenberg and Wooster and affiliate member Earlham.
