Fall 2010 Edition
Athletic Training Club Activities
Chris Curless, ATC, LAT (Club Advisor)

Once again, it has been an exciting
and busy semester for the Athletic
Training Club. In August, the club
officers (President Amanda
BSU ATHLETIC TRAININGCARDINAL TAPE CUTS
Marshall, Vice-President Jessi
Benedict, Secretary Angie
Ziolkowski, Treasurer Briana
Louth, Seargeant-at-Arms Jon
Wicks, and Communication Officer
Katelynn Ash) planned an eventful
semester with the goal of increasing
student involvement.
To begin the semester, the club
participated in the annual BSU
Homecoming Float Design Contest
and Parade. The theme for the year
was “Rocking the Red.”The students
made instruments out of everyday
athletic training equipment. They
rocked the campus drumming and
strumming to the tunes of Michael
Jackson and AC/DC.
In October, the Athletic Training
Club students participated in the Well-
O-Ween student wellness fair held in
the new Student Recreation and
Wellness Center. The students provided
whole body flexibility measurements
and provided stretching
recommendations.
In November, many of the athletic
training students attended the annual
Indiana Athletic Trainers’ Association
Fall Symposium and Awards Banquet.
Overall, 22 students attended!
Also in November, we were
delighted to have new athletic training
staff member Jill Brigle as a guest
speaker. She held a Q & A session with
the students on topics such as her bio
and her approach to patient care. .

Our athletic training students also
participated in the IATA Quiz Bowl
held at the symposium. Thanks to all of
the students who participated.

What would the fall semester be
without the annual Gary Noble
Memorial Leaf Raking Service
Project? Like last year, the Ball State
community overwhelmed the Club
with leaf raking requests. The club Well-o-Ween Health Fair
members raked 30 yards over the
course of 4 weeks. We raised
approximately $2000 to help fund
future AT Club events and travel.
To cap the year off, the club held a
holiday party to celebrate another
successful semester. Students, faculty,
and staff brought in a large array of
food (photo right).
