East Hampton Athletic Director Kathy Masterson has been named Section XI Athletic Director of the Year.

Masterson, who spent the bulk of her career as the AD at Westhampton, started her tenure in East Hampton in 2022.

“Winning this award is so humbling,” she said. “I am so honored to be a part of a profession that I love, and that means the world to me.”

The photo used with this post speaks volumes to Masterson’s character and devotion to the student-athletes she works with daily. She is accessible, and innovative and immerses herself in the school community to impact the lives of athletes, coaches and staff.
