Marcilina Grayer Camps

Who is Marcilina Grayer?

Marcilina Grayer was named as head coach of the Salt Lake Community College women's basketball program in the spring of 2019, replacing longtime coach Betsy Specketer. 

A former SLCC player herself, she brings a wealth of experience to the program. Grayer also fulfills the role of Eligibility Coordinator for the department. Grayer is currently a member of the NJCAA Board-of-Regents representing Region 18 and the Scenic West Athletic Conference. 

The SLCC alum has already created a notable reputation by coaching with the Bruins, with a set of accomplishments that landed her on the WBCA Thirty-Under-30 in 2018. The list recognizes the top-30 coaches in collegiate women's basketball under the age of 30.

She helped lead the Bruins to an NJCAA Final Four appearance in the 2016-17 season, as Salt Lake earned both Scenic West and Region 18 titles. The Bruins also won the league in 2018 and 2019, repeating as Region 18 champions and claiming the Scenic West crowns. 

Mostly working with the Bruin post players, Grayer played a huge role in helping SLCC land a First-Team All-Region 18 and Player of the Year pick in sophomore Cassidy Whitney. Because of her efforts, the 2015-16 SLCC program had a 31-3 overall record and 14-1 record in the SWAC, leading to a league championship and an NJCAA National Tournament at-large berth where the Bruins advanced to the Elite Eight.

Coach Grayer played collegiately at SLCC from 2008-10 where she helped the Bruins to a Region 18 runner-up finish and a No. 5 final ranking in the NJCAA Top-25 Polls in 2010. Grayer was an Academic All-Region 18 scholar-athlete in each of her two seasons as a Bruin.

Coach Grayer earned her bachelor’s degree in Integrated Studies (Criminal Justice/Psychology) from Dixie State University and also obtained an associate's degree from SLCC. She holds a Masters' Degree in Coaching and Athletic Administration from Concordia University - Irvine. 

She currently resides in West Jordan, Utah.
