The Missouri State University Athletic Training Student Association (ATSA) hosted its annual welcome back BBQ Saturday at Phelps Grove Park.
The event was well-attended by first, second, third, and forth year athletic training students. In addition, most Sports Medicine and Athletic Training (SMAT) faculty/staff along with some Preceptors attended the event.
Dr. Allan Liggett and Gary Ward did an outstanding job as the grill masters and cooked up what could have been award-winning hamburgers and hotdogs! Following lunch, students were active with many games including a pick-up game of football, lacrosse, and kicking around a soccer ball.
ATSA will begin regular meetings in September. This year, ATSA Officers include Whitney Bixler as President, Jon Spire as Vice-President, Erin Mittler as Secretary, and Melanie Burkholder as Treasurer. Great job officers on the welcome back BBQ and thanks to all that attended Saturday!
