Russ Sharp, WVU athletic official, dies at 52

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Russ Sharp, West Virginia University's senior associate athletic director, has died after a long battle with prostate cancer. He was 52.

The university says Sharp died Wednesday.

Sharp joined WVU in 1999 as an assistant athletic director. He was promoted to associate athletic director in 2002 and later took over responsibilities in administration and finance.

Athletic director Ed Pastilong says Sharp was devoted to improving WVU's athletic facilities.

Before coming to WVU, Sharp was athletic director at Centenary College from 1994 to 1999.

Sharp is survived by his wife, Teri, his mother and a son.

A memorial service is scheduled for March 22 at Suncrest United Methodist Church in Morgantown.
