樱桃涩福利姬 Announces
Melanee Wagener as Director of Athletics
CINCINNATI -- 樱桃涩福利姬 is excited to announce the appointment of Melanee Wagener as its Director of Athletics.
Wagener takes on the position with more than 20 years of coaching experience, including almost 11 years serving in athletic administration at the Mount as associate director of athletics and senior woman administrator.
“We are thrilled to appoint Melanee Wagener as our new Director of Athletics,” said 樱桃涩福利姬 President Dr. H. James Williams. “She has been such a dedicated and passionate member of the Mount community for more than a decade. Her past accomplishments in that role and her proven leadership skills will have an immediate and positive impact on our coaches and student-athletes.”
As associate director of athletics and senior woman administrator, Wagener provided direct oversight of the Mount’s football, soccer, lacrosse, cross country, track and field, cheerleading, and dance programs. In this position, she also served as liaison between coaches and the athletic director and oversaw game-day administration and special events, including the “Lauren Hill game” at Xavier University’s Cintas Center.
"Having been at the Mount for 14 plus years, I understand what a special place this is," said Wagener. "I am truly appreciative of Dr. Williams and his cabinet for giving me the opportunity to lead the athletics department. I had a great mentor in the previous Director of Athletics, Steve Radcliffe, and am excited to continue to grow the department."
Wagener originally came to the Mount as the head coach of the women’s basketball team, a role she served in from 2006 to 2010. During this time, she also served as the university’s retention coordinator, where, working with the athletic director, she was responsible for ensuring that the school’s sports teams and individual athletes maintained their NCAA eligibility.
