WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC ASSISTANT ATHLETIC DIRECTOR RUSTY EGGEN GARNERS "PRESTOSPORTS SIXTH MAN" AWARD
ROCKVILLE, Md. - Worcester Polytechnic Institute Assistant Athletic Director/Sports Information Director Rusty Eggen has been named the PrestoSports Sixth Man award winner.
PrestoSports created the award to recognize the client who makes a significant contribution to the product or company. As PrestoSports has grown over the past six years, many of its advancements have been as a direct result of client input.
"Rusty has provided an invaluable help to our staff in transitioning the PrestoSports network scores, schedules and links to an institution's site," PrestoSports Product Manager Robb Modica said. "With any new technology, we're excited to hear feedback from our clients. Rusty has been responsive in offering concerns and feedback on performance from an institutional perspective."
Eggen offered a unique perspective of the PrestoSports Network. Since its launch, WPI's site has been networked for scores, schedules and game links to the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC), d3hoops, d3football, d3scoreboard and many other conference and institutions throughout New England. Through live, in-game basketball statistics, WPI also took advantage of live system updates with the first live statistics to provide immediate updates to these sites.
PrestoSports expects to announce its second award winner in late spring. Clients who offer feedback for new features, troubleshoot potential concerns with new technology and otherwise add to the network will be considered for the award.
"Clients have offered feedback on several new features such as the mobile scoreboards, tournament pages and splash pages," Modica added. "With over 100 meticulous clients out there, I don't anticipate an easy decision for the next recipient."
