Tolton Catholic High School athletic and activities director to step down at the end of the school year

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Fr. Tolton Catholic High School Athletic and Activities Director Gary Link will not be returning next school year, according to a release from the school.

"It has been a great privilege to serve as Athletic and Activities Director at Fr. Tolton Catholic High School," Link said. "I want to thank those who have given me the opportunity to be a teacher, coach, and administrator at this amazing school. I'm especially grateful to have had the honor of interacting with so many outstanding students, student-athletes, coaches, and staff and I'm thankful for the numerous achievements we've collectively attained."

Link was named Interim Atheltic Director in March 2019 and the "interim" tag was dropped in the summer. During his three years at the helm, Tolton Catholic won eight team State Championships, nine individual State Championships, and ten team District Championships.

"Mr. Link not only made a tremendous impact on our athletics and activities programs during his tenure but on the lives of our students as well," said Tolton Catholic President Dr. Dan Everett. "He greeted every student by name in the hallways and was always willing to lend a hand wherever we needed him. His positive attitude, smile and signature line of 'GO BLAZERS' will be dearly missed."
