Longtime East End AD Kathy Masterson Announces Retirement

After years of dedicated leadership on the East End, East Hampton Athletic Director Kathy Masterson has announced her retirement.

A respected and familiar figure in Long Island high school athletics, Masterson became East Hampton’s athletic director on July 1, 2022, following an outstanding 16-year tenure leading athletics at Westhampton Beach. Though her time in East Hampton has been relatively brief, her impact has been immediate and meaningful.

Just months after arriving, Masterson was honored as the Section XI Athletic Director of the Year, a testament to the respect she has earned across the Long Island athletic community.

Given all she has accomplished, it’s hard to believe her time in East Hampton has spanned only as long as the Class of 2026. Her leadership, dedication to student-athletes, and commitment to educational athletics have made a lasting impression on programs throughout the East End.

Congratulations to Kathy Masterson on an incredible career and a well-deserved retirement. 🏅

John Glenn Wrestling Coach TJ Brocking Reaches 300 Career Dual Meet Victories

John Glenn High School wrestling head coach TJ Brocking reached a remarkable milestone this past weekend, earning his 300th career dual meet victory and further cementing his legacy as one of the most respected coaches in the region.

Brocking, who began his tenure as head coach during the 2006–2007 season, has spent nearly two decades building the John Glenn wrestling program into a consistent and competitive force. Under his leadership, the Knights have developed a reputation for toughness, discipline and strong postseason performances.

Despite the milestone, Brocking said his focus has never been on personal accolades.

“I never thought about dual meet wins,” Brocking said. “I’ve always set my schedule for the kids to be their best in the postseason.”

That philosophy has helped shape the program’s culture, emphasizing preparation, growth and success when it matters most. Over the years, Brocking has guided countless student-athletes through demanding seasons while helping them develop both on and off the mat.
