UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE

Chrissi Rawak never set a university athletic director’s job as her top professional priority. “I never managed my career that I want to be X,” Rawak, the University of Delaware’s new athletics director, said in a recent interview in her office. “If you focus on being X, you lose out on a lot of opportunities around you.” Rawak, 46, was an outstanding swimmer for Germantown Academy and Team Foxcatcher. Later, she swam for the University of Michigan. Rawak is Delaware’s first female AD. She succeeds Eric Ziady, who departed the university at the end of 2015. According to NCAA figures, there were only 33 female athletics directors among the approximately 350 Division I schools last year. –philly.com– Read More
