GREELEY, Colo. – The University of Northern Colorado Athletics Department has announced that Stormie Sickler has transitioned into the role of Assistant Director of Compliance, continuing her service to UNC Athletics in a new capacity. She will officially begin her new role on July 1.
Sickler has been a member of the UNC Athletics staff since 2019, when she joined as Assistant Cross Country and Track and Field Coach. She was promoted to Associate Head Cross Country/Assistant Track and Field Coach in 2023, and now brings that same dedication and experience to the compliance team. In her new role, Sickler will support NCAA rules education, monitoring, and interpretation for UNC's coaches, student-athletes, and programs.
