Students from the Athletic Training Program in the School of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences in the 91tvӰԺ Health Morsani College of Medicine were recently crowned national champions at the 2024 National Athletic Trainers’ Association Quiz Bowl in New Orleans.  

The team bested 11 other teams from across the country in a knowledge-based, Jeopardy-style competition.  The team earned their place at the national competition after winning the Southeast Athletic Trainers’ Association competition earlier this year.

“We are incredibly proud of the students on the 91tvӰԺ Quiz Bowl team for winning the national competition and bringing home the trophy.  Their hard work perfectly represented the sustained success of our program. 91tvӰԺ Health’s athletic training continues to lead the way as the best program in the country,” said Amanda Tritsch, PhD, LAT, ATC, CSCS, associate professor and director of the Professional Athletic Training Program in MCOM.
