Newman Catholic appoints Marcus Wiegert as the new athletic director

Newman Catholic named Marcus Wiegert as the school's new athletic director on September 4, 2026. Wiegert assumes the position immediately following a brief tenure by his predecessor, Zach Braun, who was appointed on June 26. The department stated that Wiegert brings experience from college-level coaching and sports management, including a stint with the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders. Wiegert made his first official appearance in the new role as a spectator at Thursday's varsity soccer match against Amherst. Braun had previously managed the search for a new volleyball coach, a process that continued into the start of the current season. Newman Catholic officials provided no additional details regarding the transition between the two administrators.
