On March 4th, Korinn Myers took her Kinesiology class down to Pasadena to compete in the St. Francis High School Athletic Training Competition. The group of 11 Priory students competed against 654 students from 40 high schools in the second biggest athletic training competition in the country.
You may be wondering what an athletic training competition looks like. It is a gathering of students studying sports medicine who compete in different events that test their knowledge and skills in athletic training. Written and oral exams, timed taping demonstrations, and simulated injuries are all part of the challenge. The competition is also a celebration of the passion and momentum of the growing profession of sports medicine. Throughout the weekend, it was evident what a close knit and devoted group athletic trainers are. Simply put, they love helping athletes compete at their highest and healthiest level.
Brenda Uribe was selected to compete in the advanced Student Athletic Trainer of the Year competition. She was one of three people selected out of the whole conference to do a presentation about an issue they have researched in the field. Brenda’s presentation on the benefits of cupping got a loud applause from the group of expert judges and she proudly brought a medal home to the Priory. In her own words, “You are supposed to learn a lot at school, but only some of it sticks. Athletic Training sticks the most for me because it is knowledge that I can directly use to help fellow athletes. It is immediately applicable to my life and my passion of sports.”
