Join "The Starting Lineup" as we sit down with Katie Pritchard, the new Athletic Director for Willard High School and School District. A multi-sport standout inducted into the Drury Athletics Hall of Fame for her prowess in both soccer and basketball, Katie takes us through her fascinating journey from star athlete to assistant coach, head coach at Marshfield, and now her exciting, evolving role in administration. Discover how she's navigating this new chapter, balancing leadership with support, and embracing the daily challenges of an AD position that's "new every single day."

Rather than chasing headlines, Pritchard is focused on supporting coaches, learning new sports, and understanding what each program needs to thrive. She shares why Willard’s “small town feel” matters, how mentors like Molly Miller shaped her leadership style, and even laughs about being known as “Emily Pritchard’s sister.” It’s a candid, local conversation about leadership, community, and showing up for student-athletes beyond the scoreboard.
