Capilano University recently named Milt Williams manager of athletics and recreation in charge of the school's six varsity teams.
The North Vancouver resident has worked at Capilano for 22 years in positions ranging from coaching, management, communications and athletics. He spent the past 10 years as Capilano's sports information director.
"I am very excited about the opportunity Capilano University has given me as athletics manager," Williams stated in a recent release. "I look forward to working with the student-athletes, coaches and staff and continuing the great work we have accomplished at CapU."
Williams becomes only the third athletic director in 47 years of Blues athletics, following Neil Chester and Joseph Iacobellis. Williams takes over for Iacobellis who served in the position for 22 years and was named the CCAA athletic director of the year for 2008-09. Iacobellis recently took a medical leave but has now returned to Capilano to work on various projects on a part-time basis.
"I am very fortunate to follow in the steps of Neil Chester and Joseph Iacobellis," said Williams. "It is upon their good work that I will be able to add to the rich and successful championship history at Capilano University."
To date Capilano has racked up 57 provincial titles and 15 national titles. Williams received Capilano University's Spirit Award in 2014 and the Exceptional Service Award in 2012.
