WACO, TEXAS (June 14, 2017) -- Casey Hebenstreit made his last year as the Assistant Trainer at Our Lady of the Lake University a good one, claiming the 2016-2017 Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC) Athletic Trainer of the Year award. The three-year veteran of the Saints' training room finished one spot ahead of OLLU Head Athletic Trainer Corey Beechner in the award voting, giving the school the top two trainers this year.
Given annually, the award recognizes an National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA)-certified athletic trainer from the RRAC, who has distinguished himself or herself as a model of the profession in personal conduct and professional allied health service to student-athletes. The selection is determined through a peer vote with all conference athletic trainers voting.
