The University Interscholastic League named Jamey Harrison as the organization's next executive director Monday.
Harrison, who has been the UIL's deputy executive director since 2011, will replace the retiring Charles Breithaupt.
In a press release, the UIL credited Harrison for his "key role" in areas such as competitive equity, the addition of Class 6A and the playoff split for team sports that was implemented this school year. The UIL added Harrison aided the biennial realignment by "advancing technology and mapping software."
Harrison was also vital in navigating through the COVID-19 pandemic, the release said.

I look forward to building on this legacy while preserving what makes UIL great."
