She was a three-time all-state basketball player at Montrose, and was the state’s 4-A Player of the Year after leading her team to a state title in 1991. She was a two-time all-state selection in volleyball, helping her team to state championships in 1989 and ’90. She will assist Brenda Davis, who is the school’s first head volleyball coach and was promoted to head women’s basketball coach this season. Milavickas joins the Rose-Hulman football staff part-time this season as the team’s defensive line coach. Milavickas has been the head football and track coach at Paris (Ill.) High School since 1993, and is also a mathematics teacher at Paris. Milavickas played college football at the University of Wyoming, Moraine Valley Community College and Eastern Michigan University. He is a 1998 graduate of EMU, and is currently working on a master’s degree in educational administration at Eastern Illinois University. Milavickas fills the coaching vacancy that remained following the June 30 resignation of Keith Schrage, the former football offensive coordinator and head men’s golf coach. Rene Foli will step up and become the football team’s offensive coordinator. Foli joins the Engineers’ staff full time this season, after serving as a part-time coach for the past three years. Jim Shaw, Rose-Hulman’s head men’s basketball coach, will also become the head men’s golf coach. Sinclair joined Rose-Hulman’s staff in May, and will serve as the facility manager for the school’s new $19 million athletic and recreation facility. Sinclair returns to Rose-Hulman where he was an assistant baseball coach for the Engineers in 1995-96.
