Rev. Patrick Cahill, C.S.V., Athletic Director Father Patrick Cahill, a member of the Viatorian Fathers and Brothers, came to the University in 1979 with the responsibility of ad- ministering the expanding men and women's athletic programs. Since Father has taken over, USO has added men's cross country, and soccer as well as women's softball and cross country to its inter- collegiate program. Men's baseball, basketball, golf, soccer, cross country and tennis moved in 1979 to NCAA Division I ranks and the West Coast Athletic Conference. 1983 saw all but one of the women's teams join the NCAA Division I ranks with softball playing at the Divi- sion Ill level. This year, women's volleyball, cross country, basketball, tennis and softball will join the West Coast Athletic Conference. Soft- ball will join the others and participate at the NCAA Division I level. Men's football remains an NCAA Division Ill participant and USO boasts an intercollegiate crew program for both men and women. Father Pat has brought to the University his integrity, leadership, and devotion to the job; he has given to the staff and student athletes at USO an added meaning to the word "friend." Father Cahill has a B.A. from St. Ambrose College in Davenport, Iowa, and a M.S. in Education with a Physical Education major from Eastern Illinois University. Prior to USO, he served St. Viator High School in Arlington Heights, Illinois, for sixteen years, fourteen as Athletic Director and two as its President/Principal.
