Sports medicine is a class at Albert M. Lowry High School. The class goes to the school’s games to help players get taped and help the athletes with any problems they have.
Currently, They are learning CPR for infants and adults from the School Resource Officer, Officer Ken Whittaker. He will teach the class how to correctly perform CPR for all ages.
“CPR is an important skill that everyone should learn,” said Whittaker. “It’s a skill that you should learn but hope you never need to use it.”
Caden Stovall thinks the class adds something new to the school and helps him find ways to help people whether it saves their lives or just helps dull some pain they may have.
“The class is exciting and unique where it’s an excellent chance in the day to learn things that can benefit me throughout my life,” said Stovall. “I learned life-saving CPR methods through all ages of correct methods of saving others’ lives and it is very important to learn.”
Mr. Tyrell Lucas is the teacher of the Sports Medicine class. He teaches the kids to tape the athletes’ ankles, wrists, or any problem parts the athletes may have to help them perform to the best of their ability without getting injured.
“We hit the ground running while we try to prepare for the fall sports season,” said Tyrell Lucas.
The students work hard throughout the fall session to create a healthy class and create strong improvement throughout the class, creating strong memories.
“The class is fun, it’s probably one of my favorite classes,” said Ryder Huitt. “The trip we had going to Washoe County and Nevada Health was a fun and unique experience.”
