IMG Academy alum to lead athletic department at New College

A former Team USA baseball coach and IMG Academy alum has been named athletic director and head baseball coach at New College of Florida.

The four-year liberal arts college in Sarasota named Mariano Jimenez to lead its new intercollegiate athletics department. The department will be an addition to its existing intramural sports. 

“We are confident that this hire will continue to elevate student life at New College of Florida and attract scholar-athletes to our campus to take part in competitive sports from baseball to softball to soccer and basketball,” interim President Richard Corcoran says in a release.
