Marcy Weston to retire in March 2015
Marcy Weston, who has spent more than four decades as a coach and administrator in the Central Michigan University Athletics Department, has announced her retirement will come next spring.
Weston is set to retire in March 2015.
Since joining CMU in 1972, Weston has coached three different sports, won multiple coaching and administrating awards and served as as the Executive Associate Director of Athletics/Sport Administration at CMU since 2012.
“I don’t really know what I’m going to do,” Weston said in a release. “I’m not going to do anything calculated for six months. I don’t even know what’s out there.”
During her time at CMU, Weston has been a major advocate for women’s sports and Title IX, the historic legislation guaranteeing equal access for women.
“I’m pleased to see the value that society places on sports for girls and women,” Weston said. “Leadership, fitness, outlook on life, self esteem, confidence.”
In 2004, Weston was inducted into the CMU Athletics Hall of Fame, which is named after her.
Weston was twice named the NCAA Regional Gymnastics Administrator of the Year and was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Tenn in 2000.
“Marcy Weston has been a cornerstone of CMU Athletics for over 40 years and her legacy will guide this program as we go forward,” CMU Director of Athletics Dave Heeke said in a release. " Marcy has done so many incredible things here at CMU, but what will be missed most is her unwavering commitment and dedication to the success of student-athletes, coaches and staff. She truly makes all those around her better."
