MCHS Celebrates National Athletic Training Month

Mt. Carmel High School is proud to celebrate and honor our Wabash General Hospital Athletic Trainer, Tom Barkoski, during March, National Athletic Training Month.

From the sidelines of games and practices to our Sports Medicine offices, Athletic Trainer Barkoski works with our student-athletes to prevent injuries, improve sports performance, train, rehab injuries, inspire, support, cheer them on, and so much more!

Mt. Carmel High School also received the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA) 1st Team Safe Sports School award. The Safe Sports School Award recognizes secondary schools around the country that take crucial steps to keep their athletes free from injuries.

Congratulations, Tom, MCHS, and WGH!
