A total of 51 student athletic trainers were recognized by the Lone Star Conference on Monday as the league announced its annual Athletic Training Student Academic Award winners for 2006-07.

Each academic year, the LSC recognizes student athletic trainers who devote countless hours to assist with the operation of the athletics department while also finding the time to excel in the classroom. To be eligible for LSC academic honors, student athletic trainers must carry at least a 3.20 grade point average with a minimum of 24 semester hours at the nominating institution. The qualifications mirror those required of student-athletes to gain LSC All-Academic recognition.

This year's recipients represent nine of the LSC's 15 member institutions, with East Central recording a league-high 12 honorees. Southwestern Oklahoma added 11 recipients, while Angelo State had 7, Tarleton State six and Midwestern State five.  Eastern New Mexico and Texas A&M-Commerce each had four student athletic trainers recognized, while Texas A&M-Kingsville and Texas Woman's both had one.
