Two of our top Sports and Rehabilitation Therapy students will travel to the East Coast this weekend to give sports massage therapy to athletes on Long Beach Poly High School's track and field team.

Fremont students never fail to support their community, or help others perform at their best. Two of our top Sports and Rehabilitation Therapy students will travel to the East Coast this weekend to give sports massage therapy to athletes on Long Beach Poly High School's track and field team.

These student-athletes are competing with the nation's elite at the National Scholastic Indoor Championships (NSIC) in New York City.

Sports and Rehab Therapy graduate Kristen Brice and current student James Barrett will work the event. This year also marks a passing of the baton. Iowayna Peña, instructor in the School of Wellness, is letting Kristen manage students at this competition and those to come. Iowayna explained that she worked under her wing during the last two football seasons at Poly High and almost every major event in the past two years, including the NSIC and the Texas Relays.

Iowayna is sure that Kristen will be a great leader for this event and future ones, adding that she combines her talents with a great work ethic and initiative in helping to train new students. As Iowayna put it, she “is just one of those people who will get it done and get it done right!” Look for our students at the California Relays next weekend, and the Penn Relays in April.
