Neuhart Voted Crossroads League SID of the Year
JACKSON, Mich. – The Crossroads League announced on Wednesday that Josh Neuhart of Grace College had been named its 2023-2024 Sports Information Director of the Year. The award is the third for Neuhart and the Grace Sports Information Department.
“The Crossroads League is filled with tremendous SIDs who encourage and challenge each other in our work,” said Neuhart. “I am thankful for them, and it is very humbling to be selected by them for this award. Additionally, I am very thankful to Dr. Drew Flamm, Chad Briscoe and our administration for their support. Adam Basinger and Grant Cook are second-to-none, both in their abilities in the profession and their hearts to serve our coaches, fans and student-athletes. Our coaches also make the job enjoyable and rewarding to work alongside every day. I could not ask for a better group of people to be around.”
Neuhart also led his Grace Sports Information Department to the same honor during the 2015-2016 and 2019-2020 years, now becoming the first SID to receive the award three times.
Neuhart began his time with GC Athletics as a freshman in 2007 and has since spent nearly 15 years as the department’s Sports Information Director, racking up a host of national and regional awards for his work promoting the Lancers.
During the 2023-2024 year, Neuhart’s team provided extensive coverage of the Lancers, resulting in a 37-percent spike in followers on Facebook, a 17-percent jump on Instagram and numerous features on the Indy Star platforms.
“Josh and his staff do a tremendous job serving Grace College,” said GC Director of Athletics Chad Briscoe. “This award is incredibly deserving for their work overseeing all the varsity programs at Grace. Josh is the longest-serving SID in the Crossroads League and is a leader among his peers.”
The Crossroads League Sports Information Director-of-the-Year award was voted on by Sports Information Directors from the Crossroads League.
