Mike Kirk was hired as Central’s Sports Information Director in the Fall of 1987 and spent the next 29 years publicizing the accomplishments of thousands of Broncho student-athletes. He saw the Central wrestling team win eight national championships and the UCO softball team win the first women’s title in school history.

Kirk watched, and promoted, as more than 200 student-athletes earned All-American honors between 1987-2016. Kirk also won over 50 publication awards for his work in the sports information office, creating media guides, posters, game notes, and other promotional material for the Bronchos. He served on various regional and national committees for the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) during his career and was also a member of the NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships Committee from 2010-15, including a three-year stint as chair.

Kirk worked the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta as the Press Information Officer for wrestling. He was inducted into the Oklahoma Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2012 and the CoSIDA Hall of Fame in 2018.
