2013 Boston Marathon

As many of you may already be aware, several members of our athletic training family were in Boston on Monday, April 15, 2013, serving as medical volunteers at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Dr. Ray Castle,  first year student Derek Carter, second year student Brendan Jacob, and third year student Caitlyn McKinley were among the first responders to the scene of the horrific tragedy that took place that afternoon. We are incredibly proud of all of their efforts, acting selflessly to help bring victims to safety. All four members of the team were unharmed and have returned home to Baton Rouge.
