Luther AD Renae Hartl will step down from leading the Norse after a new AD is hired in the spring, at which point she will transition to a new role as Assoc. AD for Facilities Development in addition to her Softball HC role. President Jenifer Ward: “From the time of my arrival at Luther, I've had tremendous respect for the work Renae has performed in her dual appointment. On behalf of Luther College, I want to express our thanks to her for her tireless work leading the Norse while still providing championship-level coaching to our softball team. Higher education, including Division III collegiate sports, is in a state of rapid change and increasing complexity. Going forward, a program as large and robust as the Luther Norse will have an administrator with undivided focus, and our softball team can continue to build on its extraordinary reputation with its accomplished and long-serving coach at the helm.” (link)
