(April 9, 2015) — Tarleton State had eight student athletic trainers who were recognized by the Lone Star Conference on Wednesday as the league announced its annual Athletic Training Student Academic Award winners for 2014-15.

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.
