Albion College athletic training education program students Sukyoon Chang, Yume Nakamura, and Tracy Yoshikawa placed second in a quiz bowl competition at the end of the Michigan Athletic Trainers Society Student Seminar on Sunday, Nov. 1.

All 13 athletic training programs from the state of Michigan accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education entered two teams into the quiz bowl competition. The content of the quiz bowl featured items the students will face on the Board of Certification examination to become a certified athletic trainer.

Chang (a junior from Ann Arbor/Ann Arbor Pioneer High School), Nakamura (a senior from Miyazaki City, Japan), and Yoshikawa (a senior from Kalamazoo/Hackett Catholic Central High School) were the only students from a Division III accredited program to advance to the final round of competition. The Albion squad tied a team from Grand Valley State University in the final and the Britons were edged in a tiebreaking question.

"We are so proud of this team," Carol Moss, the clinical education coordinator of the athletic training education program who accompanied the Britons on the trip to the seminar, said. "The pharmacology questions were intense and it demonstrates the preparation the scholars receive in Albion's athletic training education program."
