ALTOONA'S INGOLD HONORED BY NACDA AS ADMINISTRATOR OF
THE YEAR 6/22/09
Penn State Altoona Athletics Director Fredina
Ingold, who has served the university in a
variety of capacities for
more
than 30 years and played a critical role in the
growth of Lion athletics, is one of four
Division III Athletics Directors in the country
to receive the Under Armour AD of the Year
Award, the National Association of Collegiate
Directors of Athletics (NACDA) announced.
Ingold was the Central Region recipient
representing Division III, which alone consists
of more than 400 institutions in the United
States. She will be recognized on Saturday,
June 20, at a luncheon during the annual NACDA
convention.
In 1986, Ingold was appointed Director of
Intercollegiate Athletics at Penn State Altoona,
and she also served as the Director of Student
Marketing and Enrollment from 1994-1999, a
period of time when varsity sports did not exist
at Penn State Altoona. Upon the reinstatement
of varsity athletics in 1999, Ingold returned to
her position as athletics director and has
guided the 15-team intercollegiate athletic
program to new heights over the last several
years.
One of her most significant achievements has
been the successful transition of the
intercollegiate athletics program from junior
college status to NCAA Division III membership.
Under Ingold’s direction the total number of
sports offered has expanded, there have been
improvements to and construction of athletic
facilities; and the program has grown in stature
as a member institution of the Division III
National Collegiate Athletic Association, the
Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC),
and the Eastern Coast Athletic Conference (ECAC).
Under her influence, Penn State Altoona
athletics were recognized by The Chronicle of
Higher Education for demonstrating a history
and continuing practice of expanding women’s
sports programs. Penn State Altoona saw the
number of female athletes increase by 129% from
1999 to 2006, a direct credit to Ingold, who is
considered a pioneer in women’s athletics.
Just this year, Ingold began serving on the NCAA
Division III Management Council, one of the
highest legislative bodies in Division III. She
is also a board member and President-Elect of
the ECAC.
A distinguished athlete in her own right, Ingold
was a member of the first high school basketball
team at Altoona Area High School, first women’s
varsity volleyball and basketball teams at Penn
State Altoona and was later a member of the
softball and inaugural women’s volleyball teams
at University Park. In 1990, Ingold became
the first woman inductee in the Blair County
Sports Hall of Fame. In 2002 she received the
Robert. J. Scannell Roll of Honor Awared for
serving the Penn State Commonwealth Education
System, Athletic, Intramural and Recreation
Programs with distinction.
