John Hangey has been named deputy athletic director at ������ý����, taking on expanded responsibility for the day-to-day operations of Athletics.

In the role, Hangey will work closely with Christine Brown & Partners, the firm supporting ������ý���� with leadership consultation, operational assessment and strategic planning, as the University evaluates the department and its needs.

To focus fully on these responsibilities, Hangey will temporarily step away from his duties as wrestling head coach. The wrestling program will be led by associate head coach Nic Bedelyon, with support from assistant coaches Doug Umbehauer and Tyler Klinsky.

Liz Sapudar has also been named interim senior woman administrator for Athletics. She will take on the additional leadership responsibility while continuing in her current position as academic coordinator for Athletics.

“We are grateful to John, Liz and Nic for their willingness to take on these expanded responsibilities and for their continued commitment to our student-athletes, coaches and staff,” says ������ý���� President John R. Loyack, CPA, MBA. “We will continue to keep the ������ý���� community informed as our work to shape the future of ������ý���� Athletics moves forward.”
