STAMFORD—Trinity Catholic High School has named interim Athletic Director Frank Fedak as Director of Athletics. The move comes three months after joining Trinity as interim athletic director following the departure of its former AD in late-December 2018.
“When I arrived here in January, we were immediately immersed in filling coaching vacancies in football, softball, baseball and lacrosse”, states Fedak. We have accomplished this and have seen a surprising number of student athletes come out for all of these sports. Fedak adds: “I’m excited about the promise of these programs under the bright, young coaches we have in place.”
Trinity was experiencing flux in both its enrollment numbers and coaching staffs since building was completed on its $2.8M turfed, multi-use athletic complex back in 2016. That same fall, long-tenured athletic director, Tracy Nichols retired. But this year, girls’ softball and JV basketball returned following hiatus’ in 2018. Trinity’s Lady Crusaders Basketball team won the Class S CT State Championship last month.
Pat Brady, Head of School for both Trinity Catholic High and The Catholic Academy of Stamford, Trinity’s PreK-grade 8 sister school, observes “Frank recognizes the athletic traditions here at Trinity and exactly where we are in building the department back from several years of change.” Brady adds: “We’ll be looking to have Frank run a successful program here at Trinity, one that draws student athletes to the school and that fields three-five solid sports per season, with full rosters.
Scott Smith, Principal of Trinity, adds: “Frank stepped right in and hit the ground running. He has a tremendous work ethic that will prove invaluable to the program here at Trinity.” He adds: “ Our students, parents and coaches have responded well to his approach and we are looking very forward to the future of the program under his leadership.”
Fedak is well-known within the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference. He brings over twenty years’ coaching and officiating experience on the high school, collegiate and professional levels, with experience at Weston High School, Northeast Baseball School, Notre Dame High School, Sacred Heart University and the Bridgeport Bluefish respectively.
Fedak is a graduate of Sacred Heart University in Fairfield with a Bachelor of Science Degree. He is a graduate of Fairfield Prep High School in Fairfield as well.
