BOSTON, Mass. – Lauren Eck, who has served as Wentworth Institute of Technology’s Assistant Athletic Trainer since 2007, today announced her resignation to join the athletic training staff of the Laredo (Texas) Lemurs baseball team. Director of Athletics Angel Ayres accepter her resignation, which is effective May 3.

“It has been a great pleasure to have been a part of the Leopard family for the past six years,” said Eck. “Seeing the student-athletes grow athletically, emotionally and academically has been professionally enlightening and gratifying. I wish continued success to all of our student-athletes – past, present, and future.”

During her time at Wentworth, Eck served as the primary athletic trainer for many sports, including women’s soccer, ice hockey, and softball; was in charge of all student-athlete pre-participation paperwork; and handled student-athlete insurance claims.

Prior to arriving at Wentworth, Eck was an Assistant Athletic Trainer at Bridgewater State University for four years and was the Athletic Trainer at Holliston (Mass.) High School for six years. Outside of intercollegiate athletics, Eck has worked with both the Brockton Rox baseball team and the Cape Cod Baseball League.

“I’d like to thank Lauren for her service to Wentworth and its student-athletes over the last six years,” said Ayres. “We wish her well in this new endeavor.”
