When Linfield athletic director/Linfield grad Scott Carnahan, former Linfield head baseball coach, missed the Oct. 2, 2010 Willamette at Linfield football game on Maxwell Field -- Wildcats won 35-7-- it was a milestone event for him.
Up until that time, he had been at every Linfield home football game since returning to Linfield as its baseball coach in 1984. He became the college’s athletic director in 1996. One of his athletic director duties is home football game management.
His reason for missing the game was for a wonderful reason. He and his wife, Linfield grad Cathy Carnahan, principal of McMinnville’s Duniway Middle School, were in Washington, D.C. She was honored there on Oct. 1, 2010, as 2010 National Middle School Principal of the Year during an awards banquet kicking off National Principals Month.
Both Carnahans are members of the Linfield Class of 1973.
