Breaking: Hurst Named New AD

NOMINATE FOR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

GOSHEN — Sources close to the situation tell Bleeding Bruin Blue that cross country coach Benji Hurst will become Bethany's next athletic director, effective July 1; he is expected to remain as cross country coach as well. Hurst replaces Bryan Kehr, who is leaving Bethany to become head women's soccer coach at Hesston (Kan.) College.
Bethany's cross country job is only one stop in Hurst's coaching career; he has begun practice for his second season as track coach and led the Bruin middle school cross country team in 2005. Prior to that, he coached girls cross country for five years at Goshen High School.
Hurst resides in Goshen with his wife, Leah, and their two children.
