SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Spartanburg Methodist College has named a new Athletic Director to start the 2011-2012 school year.

            Tim Wallace, the long-standing head baseball coach, will assume the title of Athletic Director while still maintaining his head coach status. Wallace has twenty years under his belt steering Pioneer baseball, and has roped in repeated Coach of the Year awards [Region X Coach of the Year (1992, 1998, 2000, 2008, 2010), Carolina's Junior College Conference Coach of the Year (1992), Louisville Slugger Coaches Award (1993, 1996, 1997, 2001), and Diamond ABCA Regional Coach of the Year (2001, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2009)].

            Wallace has a long success rate in Spartanburg. A graduate of Wofford College, his success there led him to play in the major leagues for seven years. He returned to continue his coaching career. His achievements triggered his induction into the Wofford College Hall of Fame in 2000. He continues his dedication to helping his players hit their full potential, and now takes on the additional role of overseeing the Athletic Department. 

            Spartanburg Methodist College fields 14 athletics teams, and maximizes the benefits to student athletes by letting them participate as upperclassmen as soon as they enter the two-year college. After graduation from SMC, 92% of students transfer to a four-year college to continue their education and receive their degrees.
