ATCHISON, Kan. – Benedictine College Athletic Director Charlie Gartenmayer has announced the hiring of Henry Brun to lead the Raven Track & Field program.

“I really like the fact that Benedictine is a small school with strong traditions and a long history,” Coach Brun said. “Then when I got to campus, it’s just an amazing and beautiful place. I’m also excited about the mission of the school and how things are centered around that.”

Brun comes to Benedictine from Adrian College, a NCAA Div. III school in Adrian, Mich. He served as the Associate Head Track & Field Coach as well as the recruiting coordinator at Adrian.

While at Adrian, Brun was responsible for coaching sprints, jumps and hurdles and also planned daily practices, strength & conditioning programs while also coordinating team academic progress, an alumni/family support program, fundraising efforts and community service projects.

“We are excited to have Coach Brun join our department,” Gartenmayer said. “He brings a wealth of experience to the Raven Track & Field program as a coach and student-athlete, we look forward to having him continue the success the program has continued to experience in recent years.”

Brun was a NCAA Div. III All-American at Alma College where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication.

Before he became a standout on the track for Alma, Brun served as a Senior Airman in the United States Air Force from 2005 to 2010.

“The cardinal virtues and the character values that the military teaches is what I’ve taken with me the most,” Coach Brun said. “While winning championships and being a great athlete is important, at the end of the day as a coach its important for me to mentor the athletes and help them become the best person they can become.”

Brun currently has a USA Track & Field Level 1 Certification and a USTFCCCA Track & Field Technical Certification.
