ASHEBORO — Matt Kiser is the new athletics director at Southwestern Randolph.
Kiser, also the boys’ basketball coach at the school, has been handling many of the AD duties alongside Chris Chapman.
In late May after all of Southwestern Randolph’s teams completed competition for the school year, Chapman announced the change.
Chapman spent 10 years as athletics director. He said this is an ideal time for a transition.
“Being the AD here was an absolute honor, and I appreciate everything that everyone has done to help make that job better than it is in most places,” Chapman wrote in making his announcement.
Chapman offered thanks to a wide range of school personnel and community for support during the past decade.
“I am part of this community and always have been, so maybe I’m a little biased, but I truly feel the SWR community is the best around,” Chapman wrote.
His father, Charlie Chapman, is also a former athletics director at the school.
Chris Chapman, who also has been an assistant coach for boys’ golf, said Kiser had transitioned to the role while tending to many of those duties this spring.
