The University of Toledo announced that Kevin Hadsell, the director of women’s track and field and women’s cross country, has resigned following an admission that he had violated university policy.

 

UT Athletic Director Mike O’Brien told Toledo Athletics, "We thank him for his many contributions to the success of our cross country and track programs, and wish him well in his future endeavors."

 

O’Brien went on to add that Hadsell did not violate any NCAA rules.

 

Hadsell said in a statement, "I want to apologize to the University, the Toledo community and the student-athletes, past and present, for letting them down. I have always told my student-athletes that there are rules, and that they must follow the rules or face the consequences. I hold myself to the same standards; it would be hypocritical not to. Therefore, I have submitted my resignation today as the director of women's track & field and men's and women's cross country."

Hadsell added, "The University of Toledo and the community of Toledo have been my home for the last 15 years. I am indebted to the University of Toledo for everything it has done for me. I will always be a Rocket."
