Eight Wisconsin Badgers coaches get one-year contract extensions

Eight University of Wisconsin head coaches received routine, one-year contract extensions from the Athletic Board on Friday.

Meeting in a brief closed session, the board approved the athletic department's rollover recommendations for Mick Byrne (men's and women's cross country and track and field), Yvette Healy (softball), Michael Burcin (men's golf), Todd Oehrlein (women's golf), Kelcy McKenna (women's tennis), Danny Westerman (men's tennis), Chris Clark (men's rowing) and Bebe Bryans (women's rowing).

All except Healy have three-year contracts that now run through the 2021-22 season. Healy's five-year deal was extended through 2023-24.

Byrne led a memorable season for the cross country and track teams, with senior Morgan McDonald headlining the honors by taking home four NCAA titles.
