Glenn Haller
Sports Information Director
The Marauder Sports
Information Office enters its 23rd year in
providing the media covering Antelope
Valley College Marauder Athletics with
the best possible information.
The office, headed by the Sports
Information Director, Glenn Haller,
is responsible for acting as a liaison
between AVC’s athletic department and
the media, compiling and maintaining
statistics, as well as producing brochures
and updating the web site for the
department.
In 2006 he was honored by the California
Community College Sports Information
Association (CCCSIA) as their BRASS
TOP Award winner. BRASS TOP stands
for “Bringing Respect And Superior Service To Our Profession” and is
given annually to an individual who has made a positive impact in the
field of sports information and through their work advances the cause of
the community college sports information professional.
In 2007 he received the Scoop Hudgins Outstanding SID Award
by the All-American Football Foundation. The award is given by the
Foundation to those who excel in their efforts to promote the game of
football.
He finished his tenure in 2005 as the Past-President of the CCCSIA,
having served a two- year term as President which began August 2001,
and was the first Secretary-Publicist for the organization.
He is also a member of the College Sports Information Directors
Association, which recognized his 1991 Volleyball Media Guide as the
second best in the nation. His 1995-96 men’s basketball program was
named second in the state by the California Community College Public
Relations Organization.
In 2002, the office, in conjunction with the Antelope Valley College
Department of Government and Public Relations, received a Bronze
Paragon Award for Sports Brochure. This national award is given by the
National Council for Marketing and Public Relations. The two offices
also shared a first place in Sports Release awarded by CCPRO.
In early 2000 he was listed 16th on the Top 20 People Who Shaped
AVC Athletics list compiled by the Antelope Valley Press.
Haller became a permanent member of the AVC faculty in early
2000, and has been granted tenure and the academic title of “professor”
as well.
Prior to coming to AVC, Haller headed the Media Relations
Department for the Fresno Flames, a professional basketball team in the
World Basketball League.
Haller began work in the sports information field as a student
assistant at Fresno State, a position which culminated with him being
named as Director of Tournament Information for the 1983 NCAA Golf
Championships. In 1984, he was named Sports Information Director for
California Bowl IV.
Haller attended Wm. S. Hart High School and received his bachelor’s
in journalism (public relations option) in 1983 from Fresno State, in
addition to his master’s in physical education (athletic administration
emphasis) from that same school in 1989. He received his juris doctor

the Ridgecrest School of
Law.
An Eagle Boy Scout,

childhood “backyard”
of Bouquet Canyon with
