Chad Briscoe will make his reemergence at the helm of the Lancers’ athletic department starting mid-summer.
Briscoe, before recently serving as the AD at Mooresville High School for two years, led Grace athletics from 2007-2011.
“Our family is very honored and excited for the opportunity to return to Grace,” Briscoe said. “I look forward to the continued pursuit of Christian excellence through athletics that has been such a great tradition at Grace College. I am committed to assisting all 15 of our athletic programs to continue to build success through the athletic and academic experience at Grace. I look forward to once again working with the coaches, students, campus and community that make Grace such a special place to serve.”
During his tenure at Grace, Briscoe was honored as the conference’s Athletic Director of the Year in 2010.
Under Briscoe’s guidance, student-athlete aid at Grace increased substantially. He also raised funds for a press box and scoreboard at Grace’s softball diamond, a pristine team room for the volleyball team and a remodeled coaches’ office at the Gordon Recreation Center.
“I want to thank Dr. Manahan, Dr. Katip and Dr. Swanson for the opportunity to serve through leading the athletic department at Grace College,” Briscoe said. “There is a strong commitment by the college administration to continue building athletic success and for the athletic experience to assist students to grow spiritually, academically, socially and athletically. My family and I look forward to once again being a part of the campus community.”
Before he accepted his position at Mooresville, Briscoe secured Grace College as the host for the NCCAA Division I National Championships for men’s and women’s basketball from 2012-2014 – the first time the NCCAA has held both championships at the same venue.
He also arranged Grace’s first Big Ten basketball game in school history when the Lancers played Indiana University at Assembly Hall on Nov. 4, 2009.
“It’s exciting to welcome Chad back to Grace as director of our athletic program,” Grace Vice President for Academic and Student Services Jim Swanson said. “Chad’s abilities with developing coaches, enhancing programs, and marketing athletics are among many of the strengths he brings to the position. Chad is a leader in bridging the greater Warsaw community and Grace’s athletic program, and we are looking forward to his return.”
While at Mooresville, Briscoe oversaw a $100,000 project for the school’s softball fields. He also secured a three-year sponsorship from St. Francis Hospital for the athletic department as well as directed improvements at the school’s tennis courts, baseball field, weight room, football and track building, basketball gym and soccer field.
“We appreciate the impact that Chad has made on the lives of people of Mooresville Schools and the greater Mooresville Community,” said Moores-ville Superintendent Brad Lindsay. “Chad showed us the way, the truth and the life to the glory of Jesus during his time at Mooresville.”[[In-content Ad]]
