BELOIT, Wis. - After more than three years with Beloit College Athletics, Sports Information Director Sarah Hintz is leaving the department. Her last day covering Buccaneer Athletics will be Saturday, November 14th.
Since arriving at Beloit, Hintz has been central to how Buccaneer athletics is presented to the world. Her work on the department's website and social media channels helped build a stronger, more engaging connection between Beloit's teams and the people who support them.
Whether covering a home game, updating stats in real time, or sharing a recap for those who couldn't be there, Hintz kept the Buccaneer community informed. She worked tirelessly to make sure student-athletes were celebrated for their accomplishments and that fans and spectators had an enjoyable experience, whether in the stands or watching from home.
Her efforts touched nearly every part of the game day experience. Families who couldn't travel to a contest, alumni following from across the country, and fans cheering from their couches all benefited from her commitment to making Beloit athletics accessible and fun to follow.
"Sarah's loss leaves a big hole in our department that will be tough to fill," said Athletic Director Pat Miller. "Sarah was an incredible leader and professional. We are extremely grateful the great work that she did and how much of herself she gave to the department and college as a whole. Although we are thrilled for her in this new opportunity she will be greatly missed."
Hintz will be moving closer to home and has accepted the role of Sports Information Director and Head Cross Country Coach at Mount Mary Univeristy in Milwaukee.
Reflecting on her time at Beloit, Hintz said, "I am incredibly grateful for my time at Beloit. I have grown immensely, both personally and professionally. I will take the lessons I have learned here with me for years to come.
"There aren't enough words to thank everyone who has gotten me to where I am, but I would like to thank Dave DeGeorge, Kim Zarling, and Pat Miller for believing in me and entrusting Beloit College Sports Information to me over the last three-plus years. To my fellow coworkers and the coaching staff, thank you for everything. You have allowed me to grow into this role and have helped me in areas where I fell short.
"To Haley Carlin, the best student-worker I have had the pleasure of mentoring, I truly couldn't have gotten through this chapter of my life without your willingness to work and take on new responsibilities.
"While I leave Beloit as an employee, I will always be a fan of the Buccaneers. Go Bucs!"
Everyone in the Beloit College athletics community thanks Sarah for her dedication, her professionalism, and the countless hours she devoted to Buccaneer athletics, and wishes her the very best in her next chapter.
Beloit has already begun the search for a new Sports Information Director.
