The Lone Star Conference recognized 35 student athletic trainers on Wednesday as the league announced its annual Athletic Training Student Academic Award winners for 2019-20.
Each academic year, the LSC recognizes student athletic trainers who devote several 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 3.30 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 honorees represent nine of the LSC’s 19 member institutions, with Tarleton State having a league-high eight honorees, followed by Texas A&M-Commerce and Texas A&M-Kingsville with five recipients each, and Angelo State four. Cameron, DBU, UT Permian Basin, and West Texas A&M all had one earn recognition.
The 2019-20 LSC Athletic Training Student Academic Award recipients are:
