SPORTS MEDICINE TEAM EARNS TOP SCORES AT STATE COMPETITION

Alyssa Acosta (‘24) joined Sports Medicine three years ago with no clue what she was getting herself into. Acosta joined because she loved Ms. Roskelley, but now Acosta realizes just how much she loves it. The competiton was a mixture of different tests, but Acosta finds her passion in anatomy and physiology. When asked what she loved most about sports medicine, Acosta said “even though some people know what they’re doing more than others, eveeryone is still uplifting and super excited that we all share the same interests.” Looking into the future, Acosta hopes to be the president of the club and hopes that the club grows even more in the future.

Once he made it to state for the oral practical test, Koen Collins (‘23) managed to place second in his team. After traveling all the way to Spokane, the team stayed strong and was able to place mid way through the small schools. Collins said, “I sacrificed a lot of time but think it was well worth it.” A lot of kids will sacrifice things for what they love, especially if they know their team is relying on them. Being no exception, Collins worked hard and did well at state, as did the rest of the sports medicine team.
