BOONE, N.C. – After nearly four decades of coaching track & field at his alma mater, Appalachian State head coach John Weaver – a 43-time conference coach of the year – announced Monday that he will retire after the conclusion of the 2018 outdoor season.

"I've been so very fortunate to have been part of the growth of this program, with so many wonderful student-athletes," Weaver said. "It's just time. It's time for someone else to have their opportunity. In 47 years of coaching, I've probably had more opportunities than I deserve.
