John Hangey has been named deputy athletic director at Rider University, 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 Rider 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.
