AUSTIN – Riverland Community College has named Austin native David Meyer as its new head baseball coach. His coaching responsibilities include conducting practices, coordinating athlete conditioning, travel with the team and other related responsibilities. Riverland baseball practice began Friday.

Meyer has been active in baseball his entire life.

&uot;David brings us some outstanding credentials and as a former Riverland student-athlete, he understands the level and competition in our league,&uot; said RCC Men’s Athletic Director David Lillemon. &uot;He will bring plenty of knowledge and energy from his playing experiences that we need right now in our baseball program. I am confident his leadership will greatly benefit the students at Riverland Community College.&uot;
