Tom Hickman retired in June as Winthrop's Director of Athletics after leading the athletic department for 21 years and serving another six years as the associate AD.  During his tenure as AD, Eagle teams captured 50 Big South Conference Championships and made 50 NCAA team appearances, while 15 student-athletes earned individual NCAA invitations.  In 2007, Winthrop earned the Big South All-Sports Men's Cup, and was awarded the Kallander Cup four times by the Big South for community service by its student-athletes.  During his tenure, over $20 million of new facility construction and facility improvements were overseen by Hickman between 2000 and his retirement.  In addition to his leadership of Winthrop Athletics, he was also involved in committee work on both the conference and NCAA levels.
