About Jan Weaver
The Jan Weaver Invitational honors the memory of one of the biggest supporters of Murray State University and Racer Athletics. When Jan passed away in 2009, Murray State lost a dear friend. A career teacher and administrator, Weaver served her students for more than 40 years at the high school and college level. Her tenure at Murray State in the College of Education (1985-97) included serving as dean of the department. Along with her husband, Dick, the two helped Racer Athletics back up its commitment to ensure that Racer student-athletes have every opportunity to excel in the classroom as well as on the athletic fields. In 1997, Murray State athletics established an academic center named in honor of the Weavers who provided the funding to build it. The Weaver Academic Enhancement Center was opened at Roy Stewart Stadium June 30, 1997 and is still a critical piece to the student-athlete experience at Murray State. Dick and Jan were honored posthumously in the MSU Hall of Famer in the Hall of Distinction category in 2018.
