Cross Country Media Guide

MEDIA INFORMATION All media inquiries for Kutztown University athletics, its coaches and student-athletes, are to be directed to the Golden Bear Sports Information Office. Media inquiries include all requests for sports information file photographs, photo shoots and interviews (either by phone, e-mail, in-person or otherwise) at all times, in- cluding during the active playing season, pre- and post-seasons, as well as during and outside of practices. Sports Information will provide information on game credentials, photo and film creden- tials, radio, television and scouting. Sports Information reserves the right to refuse or alter media requests, especially those that conflict with practices, games, travel, classes or other team/uni- versity activities. Approved requests will be fulfilled at a time that is mutually convenient for all parties. The Sports Information staff manages press row during home games and provides complete statistics for members of the work- ing media. Press row seating passes and credentials must be re- quested at least 24 hours in advance of each contest. Members of the media will receive priority seating. The KU Sports Information Office is located in the university’s University Relations Depart- ment, room 303, Schock Education House.
