TRU names new athletic director
KAMLOOPS — Thompson Rivers University has named its fourth athletic director in the history of the post secondary institution, which opened in 1970 as Cariboo College.
Curtis Atkinson takes over from Ken Olynyk, who retired last month after holding the position for 14 years.
40-year old Atkinson was born in Kamloops, and spent most of his growing up years in Nelson.
Atkinson comes into the TRU job with a wealth of experience in Canada West and USports.
