The athletic training staffs at Eastern New Mexico and Southwestern Oklahoma were recognized by their peers with the fifth annual Lone Star Conference Athletic Training Staff of the Year awards for the 2008-09 academic year.
ENMU claimed the athletic training award for the South Division, which consists of seven member institutions in Texas and one in New Mexico. The Greyhounds athletic training staff is under the direction of Ed Kabrick, with help from assistants Jeremy Glaser and Lora Ferguson.
SWOSU earned the honor in the North Division, which represents the six members from Oklahoma and one from Texas. The Bulldogs program is led by Michael Catterson and Kris Mahlock with assistance from Jessica Young and Tammy Steinkraus.
The LSC Athletic Training Staff of the Year awards are presented annually to the top institution in both the North and South Divisions as voted by the head athletic trainer of each member institution.
The purpose of the award is to raise awareness of the athletic training profession. Criteria for the award include the athletic training staff's hospitality toward visiting athletic trainers and teams; preparedness with supplies, equipment and services for visiting athletic trainers and teams; preparedness for emergency situations; and care for injured athletes from visiting teams.
