The Indiana High School Athletic Association has selected Paul Neidig as its next commissioner. Neidig, who has served as an assistant commissioner since 2017, will begin his new role in August.

Neidig, a native of Poseyville, succeeds Bobby Cox, who in January announced his plans to retire this summer. 

During his time as an assistant commissioner, Neidig has administered boys and girls cross country, boys basketball, boys and girls track and field, and unified track and field.
