MARK FORTUNE PUBLISHER [email protected] JOSIE SELLERS EDITOR [email protected] NANCY FORTUNE CIRCULATION [email protected] Follow us on Facebook The Beacon is published by AloNovus Corp. © Copyright 2020 BF-00471218 Wesney to serve as athletic director at RVHS River View High School and the River View Local School District announced the hiring of Kate Wesney as the new athletic director for the district. Wesney is only the fourth athletic director in the history of the district, dating back to 1965. She is a graduate of River View High School and the University of Mount Union, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in sports business and a minor in business administration. Wesney follows a short list of athletic directors who have supported the district since 1965, all of which are River View Sports Hall of Famers: Joe Prosek and Ron Tisko and most recently Rod Lindsey, who will be inducted into the hall in December as a result of him being in the OHSBCA Hall of Fame (baseball coaches), and Wesney, who was part of the 2006-07 state champion Lady Bears basketball team. Wesney has been with the district for eight years in various roles including the secretary to the athletic director of three years and most recently the secretary in the main office at River View High School. River View High School and River View Local District would like to thank Lindsey for his service as athletic director over the past nine years. “Rod has done a wonderful job with our programs in some very tough economic times.

Kate is going to do a fantastic job. She has great ideas and is willing to create opportunities for our student-athletes and their families.” “Rod Lindsey is a true Black Bear who has devoted much of his life to River View Local School District and River View Athletics. Being an athletic director is a tireless position in any district and requires a dedication to wanting kids to experience the joys of competition as well as life lessons learned from extracurricular athletics. We want to thank Mr. Lindsey for his years of dedication and service. We also want to welcome Katie in her new role,” said Dalton Summers, superintendent of schools. Summers explained Wesney’s expanding role. “She will be adding these responsibilities to many of her existing roles in the district, and the task will Kate Wesney be large. We are confident in her ability to take on such an important role and responsibility and look forward to the direction she will choose for our athletic programs.” Submitted Wesney will start her new duties immediately as fall sports reopen on campus with off-season workouts and weight-room sessions.
