Lansing's Lattig Named 2024-25 MCCAA Athletic Director of the Year

Greg Lattig, Athletic Director at Lansing Community College, has been selected as the 2024-25 MCCAA Athletic Director of the Year. The award, which was first presented in 1990, is voted upon annually by the association's leadership on the basis of institutional athletic achievement, service to the MCCAA and helping the MCCAA progress forward in innovative ways.

The Stars have been a flagship program under Lattig's leadership and the 2024-25 season proved to be the latest banner year for the department. The men's cross country team set the tone early in the 2024-25 season by winning their second NJCAA Division II National Championship in as many seasons. The national title followed Western Conference, MCCAA and Region XII Division II titles for the perennial power program. The women's cross country team finished runner-up at the MCCAA/Region XII Championships, while women's volleyball cruised through league play to win back-to-back Western Conference Championships. Volleyball also finished as runner-up at the MCCAA Championship.

As the sports transitioned into the winter season, the women's basketball team won the outright Western Conference Championship one year after sharing the title and went on to finish as runner-up at the MCCAA Championship. The men's basketball program finished conference play in third place and went on to compete in the Great Lakes District C Tournament.

The Stars finished the year strong as the baseball and softball teams both won Western Conference Championships with softball punching the program's latest ticket to the NJCAA Division II World Series after winning the Great Lakes District B Championship.

On top of the athletic success, Lattig currently serves as the Western Conference Chair, as well as chair of men's and women's cross country, and helps drive the MCCAA forward as an active participant in leadership meetings.

"Greg has been a great addition to MCCAA leadership since his arrival and is most deserving of this honor," said MCCAA President and Macomb Community College Athletic Director, Bryan Rizzo. "Several of Greg's programs are mainstays on the national scene, but what is most impressive is his drive for an exceptional student-athlete experience not only at Lansing, but the MCCAA as a whole. On behalf of the MCCAA, we congratulate Greg for this well-earned honor."
