Wichita State has a new director of Athletics.
Kevin Saal from Murray State University will take over for interim director Sarah Adams starting mid-July, WSU strategic communications announced Wednesday.
Saal served as Murray State University’s athletic director since 2019, while leading the university through two athletic conference realignment and transition processes. He also grew the department to new heights with increases in student-athlete APR, league championships and NCAA tournament appearances, according to a WSU press release.
Saal also served at the University of Kentucky for 12 years working under the leadership of Kentucky Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart.
