UMaine Athletic Training Student to Represent New England in National Competition
University of Maine student Alicia Valente of New Gloucester, Maine will represent the New England Region at the National Athletic Trainers’ Association Quiz Bowl in St. Louis, Missouri on June 25.
Valente will compete against nine other teams of two, each representing a district of the National Athletic Trainers’ Association. New England makes up District 1.
Valente earned her spot in the national competition after participating in a regional contest during the 2015 Eastern Athletic Trainers’ Association Convention. She competed against undergraduate and entry-level graduate students from several institutions including Springfield College and the University of Vermont. Valente came in second place in the regional contest, which secured her seat on the NATA Quiz Bowl District 1 team.
