Harvard track and field assistant coach Bryan Fetzer has been named the Director of Track and Field at the University of Virginia, the school announced Tuesday. Fetzer served as the sprints, vertical jumps and multi-events coach, as well as the recruiting coordinator, in his time at Harvard.

"While we are sad to see him go, Virginia hired an outstanding coach who I am confident will do a terrific job directing its program,” said Jason Saretsky, Director of Harvard Track and Field/Cross Country. “It is a great sign of how far our program has come when we have assistant coaches moving on to become Director of Track and Field programs in a BCS conference.  We wish Bryan well."

Fetzer came to Harvard after a three-year stint as an assistant at Mississippi State.
