Bio

Yogi Davis was first introduced to Colt athletics while serving as a student manager for several Colt teams. He was team manager for the cross country squad in 1968, 1969 and 1970 and served in that same capacity for the baseball teams in 1969, 1970 and 1971. He also managed the wrestling team for one year.

In 1974, Davis returned to the College as a full-time technical assistant for the Physical Education Department and the equipment manager for the Athletics and Recreation Department. For the next 39 years, until his retirement in 2013, Davis was a constant presence throughout the Physical Education complex. Today, he remains at the College in a part-time capacity, serving as a building supervisor for the college's Recreation Club.

Davis was a member of the Association for Equipment Managers of America (AEMA) and served as an advisor to the cross country, basketball and baseball teams for a number of years. He has been a member of the Middletown Jaycees and the Middletown Elks and remains active with Orange County Special Olympics.

No one has been more involved with the Colt programs, more instrumental in their success, or more supportive of the athletes and coaches. He has watched more minutes of soccer and basketball, and more innings of baseball and softball than any other Colt, and there is no bigger fan of the Colts.
