Working Nights & Weekends Is Life in Sports Information

From maintaining game stats to writing news leases, Westminster's new sport information director is burning the candle at both ends. Justin Zackal keeps tabs on everything from football, soccer to women's volleyball. He has it all covered and is constantly attending games, writing articles and updating the Titan Athletic web page. He comes to Westminster after working sports information at West Virginia University where he was the "go to guy" when anyone needed to know about the Mountaineer gymnastic or rifle teams. He's also working to complete a masters of science degree in journalism from WVU. Zackal goes "Behind the Mic" with Titan Radio's Chris Norris to talk about what he does at Westminster and his connection with one of the Titan's chief rivals in the PAC.
