The SIUE community mourns the loss of Assistant Athletic Trainer Kristin Weller, who passed away Tues., Oct. 1, due to complications from a medical procedure. She was 25.
“Kristin was an extremely talented and dedicated athletic trainer,” SIUE Head Athletic Trainer Gerry Schlemer said. “She used her compassion and listening abilities to touch the lives of so many of our student-athletes even in just a short time. She will be greatly missed.”
Weller joined the SIUE Sports Medicine staff in September 2018 and had worked closely with SIUE student-athletes, specifically assigned to the women’s basketball and tennis teams.
Weller, a native of Centennial, Colorado, was a 2016 graduate of Northern Colorado and earned her master’s from Texas A&M Kingsville.
