Amanda McClure joined the Colorado High School Activities Association in April 2023. In her role with CHSAA, she’ll serve as the primary media liaison, write stories and press releases, curate record books and guide the overall strategic communication plan for the organization.
Although McClure comes to CHSAA from Metropolitan State University of Denver, where she was the Communication and Social Media Manager for Student Affairs, she previously spent 15 years working in college athletics as a sports information director. She spent most of her career as the Associate Director of Athletic Communications at Loyola University Maryland. There, she ensured all media relations, social media, graphics, website and other publicity needs were met for her assigned sports. She also helped manage media days, post-game interviews, championships and various record books for all 17 sports, among other things for the Greyhounds.
She also worked in athletic communications at the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech. In all three roles, in addition to the traditional sports information duties, she also created talking points for speaking engagements, served as the liaison for in-game talent or TV production crews, and worked with local, state and national media outlets.
