Penn State's Tim Curley has been named one of the top four athletic directors in the nation -- called the Under Armour ADs of the Year award.
Curley, in his 16th year at Penn State, was the northeast region winner. He previously won the award in 2003.
The other 2008-09 winners were Damon Evans of Georgia, Lawrence Cunningham of Tulsa and Sandy Barbour of California.
Curley has directed Penn State's 29-sport athletic program since Dec. 30, 1993. During the Nittany Lions' 16 years in the Big Ten, they have won 17 NCAA Championships -- nearly double the next closest Big Ten school. Curley also has seen his teams win 55 league titles.
The fencing team has won nine national titles under Curley's tenure. And six of Penn State's overall national titles have come since March of 2007, including two by the women's volleyball team.
