UMass Lowell has announced staffing updates within its sports medicine team, with the addition of Assistant Athletic Trainer Jeanette Welch and the promotion of Christine Muller to Associate Athletic Trainer.
The news was shared by Associate Athletic Director for Sports Medicine and Performance, Lainie Williams.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jeanette Welch to the Athletic Healthcare staff,” Williams said. “She’s a great addition to our group and brings new perspectives and skills from her time at Grand Valley State University.”
Welch most recently worked with the cross country and track and field teams at Grand Valley State, managing sport-specific conditions such as stress injuries, shin splints, and muscle strains. She also emphasized recovery strategies, hydration, and nutrition education while tailoring mobility drills and workouts to help athletes safely return to competition.
Before her time at Grand Valley, Welch worked with baseball at Johns Hopkins University, men’s lacrosse at Loyola University Maryland, and football at Towson University. She holds a bachelor’s degree in exercise science from Shippensburg and a master’s degree in athletic training from Towson.
“I’m very excited to be joining the UMass Lowell Athletics Staff,” Welch said. “I’m also looking forward to working with such a great group of student-athletes and coaches.”
Meanwhile, Muller’s promotion recognizes her outstanding work since joining UMass Lowell in 2022. She has provided care for baseball, cross country, and women’s soccer, building on more than a decade of experience that includes working with the USA Luge Jr. National Team, the Atlanta Falcons, and multiple professional organizations.
“I’m very happy for Christine being promoted to Associate Athletic Trainer,” Williams said. “Her commitment, knowledge, and skills help our department continue to grow.”
Muller earned her bachelor’s degree in athletic training from Radford and her master’s in kinesiology from Alabama A&M. Full story here!
