LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ – Rider University Athletics announces that Head Athletic Trainer Tim Lengle will be departing the University to pursue another professional opportunity and extends its sincere appreciation for his dedication, professionalism, and years of service to the University and its student-athletes.

Lengle joined Rider's Sports Medicine staff during the 2001–02 academic year and has since been a vital member of the Department of Athletics. A certified athletic trainer since 1995, he earned his undergraduate degree from West Chester University and later completed his master's degree at Rider University.

Throughout more than two decades of service, Lengle demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the health, safety, and well-being of Rider student-athletes. His expertise and leadership were especially impactful within the Rider Wrestling program, where he served as a cornerstone of the program's daily operations and long-term success.

In addition to his contributions at Rider, Lengle's professional service extended at the state and national levels. He served on the State of New Jersey Governor's Task Force on Steroid Use and Prevention and was selected as Director of Medical Services for the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in both 2002 and 2011.

While Lengle's departure marks the conclusion of a distinguished tenure at Rider University, his professionalism, dedication, and lasting contributions to Rider Athletics will be long remembered. His impact on student-athletes, coaches, and colleagues across the University has been significant, and he will be greatly missed.

Rider Athletics thanks Tim Lengle for his exemplary service and wishes him continued success in his future professional endeavors.
