Bill Joy Fund to Benefit Training Program

In recognition of Bill Joy (MS 70) and his contributions to the ENMU Athletic Department as the head trainer for a quarter of a century, a new fund has been established to encourage future athletic trainers.

“ENMU Athletics is grateful that Bill Joy’s family agreed to set up this endowment,” said Paul Weir, director of Athletics. “Athletic trainers as a profession are under tremendous pressure, and it is becoming harder and harder for us to keep such valuable personnel. An endowment like this will help us recruit and retain the future Bill Joys of our profession and infinitely improve Greyhound Athletics.”

Bill joined the athletic staff at ENMU in 1966 and was certified by the National Athletic Trainers Association in 1973. In 1986, he was appointed by Gov. Toney Anaya to the New Mexico Athletic Trainers Advisory Board, serving in that capacity until his retirement in 1991. In his career, he was part of many athletic accomplishments on the ENMU campus, including national rodeo championships, national cross country and track and field titles, and the 1969 NAIA men’s basketball national title.
