The Crossroads League announced this July that MVNU alumnus Alex Stewart has been named the 2022-2023 Sports Information Director of the Year. The award was designated through a vote by all 10 athletic directors and sports information directors in the league. In his third year at his alma mater, Stewart became the first SID at MVNU to win the award.
“I am honored to receive this award,” Stewart said in a statement to the Crossroads League. “I truly believe the Crossroads League has the best group of SID’s in the country and to be voted as Sports Information Director of the Year by my peers means a lot to me.”
Stewart, along with his team of graduate assistants Braden Mast and Kaitlin Meade, posted over 550 articles to MVNU’s athletics website while making over 1,000 combined posts on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. However, Stewart’s roles in the redesign of the department’s website and MVNU’s athletic rebranding were what put him above other candidates for the award.
“Winning this award [is] a very validating feeling,” Stewart stated while on a WNZR.tv broadcast. “It feels good to know that my efforts are accomplishing something and making a difference.”
Stewart and his team enter an exciting 2023-2024 campaign with a new look for the Cougars and a new crew in the sports information department. Stewart welcomes back Kaitlin Meade for her second season in the department, while Mitch Mellert joins the team for the first time.
