Coach James Crafton
"Athletics gives you an opportunity to face and overcome barriers on a moment-to-moment basis."
Jim coached football, track, and golf, while also serving as director of athletics for over twenty years. His football teams won six Prairie College Conference championships in a row from 1963 to 1968. Named in his honor, the Coach Crafton Athletic Center recognizes Jim’s many contributions to Principia College.
