During his time at Bishop Fenwick, Sasala was nominated for the Horizon Award for the Southwest District Athletic Board. He also oversaw the renovation of Bishop Fenwick’s new eight-lane track and the formation of a new Student-Athlete Leadership Team.

I am beyond excited to meet the faculty, staff, coaches, student-athletes, and community and cannot wait to get started."
