Oct. 1, 2009

STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS—The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents met Sept. 24 and 25 and passed a resolution honoring Tarleton State University’s Sports Information staff.

Joey Roberts, sports info director, and Dameon Myres, assistant director, were honored for their work during the 2008-09 academic year.

The staff received many honors during the year from the College Sports Information Directors of America including the Best in the Nation award for the men’s basketball media guide and the Best Cover in the Nation award for the women’s basketball media guide. They also received a No. 2 national ranking for the women’s basketball media guide and a No. 3 national ranking for the football media guide.

“Our job is to publicize the student-athletes, the Tarleton athletics department and Tarleton State University,” Roberts said. “We take great pride in each and every piece of information we distribute, whether it be press releases, advertisements, brochures, posters, media guides and everything in between. We are excited about these honors and hope people can see the many hours of work that go into everything we do. However, we aren’t used to the spotlight. Really, these awards are for our department, the student-athletes and our university.”

Tarleton President F. Dominic Dottavio presented Roberts and Myres with a framed copy of the resolution during the Texan Club social before Saturday’s football game.
