As the 2018-19 school year started, our officials chapter was greeted with the news that PIAA had officially approved changing our name to the “David B. Eavenson” Chapter of PIAA Track and Field Officials.

That switch was made to honor the legacy of Dave Eavenson, chapter Treasurer and retired AD of Carlisle School District, who passed away recently, as well as his namesake father, the Director of Athletics at Dickinson College for many years and a founder of the chapter in the 1970s.

Although nothing else will change about the chapter’s focus in central Pennsylvania, we will begin trying to change our website and other communications to reflect our new and – now – official title.
