Associate athletic director announces retirement By Jaclyn Redmon
sports@dailyhelmsman.com Lynn Parkes, associate athletic director and dedicated employee of the University of Memphis, has announced her retirement from the University after 38 years of service. Parkes has made many contributions to the Memphis women’s sports programs throughout her years as a Tiger. “She was a pioneer for women’s golf, being on the forefront. And she has been a very stabilizing force to the University,” said Beth Harrelson, women’s golf head coach. Parkes started at Memphis in 1975 — when women’s sports was just an idea —and spent the last 29 years making it the program it is today. “She has taught a lot,” Harrelson said. “That has helped give our [women’s athletic] program a lot of credibility nationally.” Parkes graduated from the University of Alabama in 1973, where she had competed in the National Collegiate Championship Tournament as part of the Crimson Tide women’s golf team. After graduation, she became a physical education instructor at Loretto High School in Loretto, Tenn. for two years before leaving to pursue her graduate degree at what was then known as Memphis State University. While a graduate student, Parkes started the women’s golf program at Memphis in 1975. “Lynn developed the program and has brought it to a national point of consistency,” Harrelson said. During her time at Memphis, Parkes has held many titles and had many duties throughout the athletic community. She served as the senior women’s administra-
tor, has directed the department’s compliance and student-athlete services, as well as handled oversight duties for eight different women’s sports. “It will be very hard to replace her. She was able to do so many things as a coach, administrator, and SWA,” said Harrelson. “She has had an impact on not only our University but also coaches and programs across the country.” With her hard work and perseverance, Parkes took women’s sports from a concept to a nationally recognized program. Her dedication to the university earned her the title of Distinguished Administrator of the Year in 2002. “She has been an amazing mentor, teacher and role model,” Harrelson said. “A void will be felt at the U of M athletics throughout all sports.” n
