WVSports – West Virginia AD Baker receives two year extension
West Virginia Athletic Director Wren Baker has received a two-year contract extension.
The news was first reported by Pete Thamel of ESPN.
The extension will take Baker through December of 2030 in Morgantown after it was originally set to end in 2028.
Baker came to West Virginia from North Texas where he held the same position in December of 2022 and has helped lead the athletic program through several major hires including men’s basketball coach Darian DeVries, women’s basketball coach Mark Kellogg and volleyball head coach Jen Greeny.
The athletic director has been well received by the fan base and the administration at West Virginia clearly agrees with the news of the extension.

West Virginia Mountain Bike Association holds Race to Lil Moe’s in Philippi
PHILIPPI, W.Va (WDTV) – The West Virginia Mountain Bike Association kicked off its cross country series Sunday with the Race to Lil Moe’s in Philippi.
The event had options for all skill levels. Bikers had the choice to race 6 miles, 14 miles, or 19 miles.
Each race had a mix of straight track biking, and twisting and climbing through the woods. Bikers of all ages could participate, and each age group had its own race and results.
“I really do think that trails build community, and if you can get outdoor activity where people can come out and hike and bike,” said George Finly, a mountain biker and trail volunteer. “This is as much as a hiking trail as it is a biking trail. It’s right along the river, which is beautiful. Eagles were flying back and forth yesterday, and today is great because we’ve got a lot of kids out here.”
The next WVMBA cross country mountain bike race will be April 19 in Buckhannon.
