Welcome to Dover-Eyota's Athletics Page! *Please Scroll down as needed for information, or use the tabs above!*
Hello! My name is Tim Andring. I am in my 33rd year here at Dover-Eyota. 13 years as a student, 19 years as a teacher, and starting my 3rd year as the athletic director. Sports have been a huge part of my life. Here at DE we are very proud of our athletic teams. Over the years our school has made state team tournament appearances in cross country, dance, girls soccer, football, boys basketball, baseball, softball, wrestling, and won the state championship in girls basketball in 2015. We also have three separate relay state champions and 15 individual wrestling champions.
We are also honored to be a part of the 11 schools that make up the Three Rivers Conference. Our conference and section is one of the most competitive in the state with our teams representing this area very well in MSHSL tournament competition.
Our coaches are experienced, dedicated and encourage the development of our players as hard workers, team players and respectful people. They understand that winning is a huge part of competitive athletics, but they also believe in the values that participation in extracurricular activities fosters-mental toughness, accountability, responsibility, cooperation/togetherness, perseverance and discipline to name a few.
Thank you for your support of our student athletes and hope to see you at a sporting event in the near future. Eagle Power!!
