KQQK was Houston’s leading Spanish-language radio station during the 1990s. The station
played strictly Tejano music, a particular form of music developed
by Texans of Mexican descent in
the early 20th century.
“Tejano Music: A Texas History” is the theme of the 28th annual
Martin de León Symposium on
the Humanities at the University
of Houston-Victoria. This year’s
event will feature two musicians
and two music scholars. The free
public event will take place from
8:30 a.m. to noon Sept. 13 in the
UHV University Center MultiPurpose Room, 3007 N. Ben Wilson St.
The closing speaker of the
event, Guadalupe San Miguel,
wrote a paper in 2008 about why
KQQK quit playing Tejano music
in 1999 and then tried to return to
the format soon thereafter.
San Miguel, an associate professor of history at UH, said for
more than a century and a half, Tejanos experienced a daily barrage
of institutional and personal assaults regarding their cultural heritage, language and traditions. San
Miguel is the author of five books,
including “Tejano Proud: Tex Mex
Music in the 20th Century.”
“Anglo American institutions
and officials, for instance, consistently repressed, distorted, dismissed or ignored the rich cultural
heritage of the Mexican origin
population born and raised in Texas,” San Miguel wrote in his paper.
“KQQK contested these historical
policies and practices by publicly
recognizing the cultural heritage
and musical tastes of Tejanos
on the radio. For Tejanos then,
KQQK was culture; it reflected,
legitimized and affirmed the rich
cultural and musical heritage that
had developed under oppressive
socio-economic and political conditions.”
The vibrant history of Tejano
music and its cultural influences
were among the reasons the topic
was chosen for this year’s symposium, said Beverly Tomek, a UHV
assistant professor of history and
chair of the 2014 Symposium Advisory Committee.
“Music is power in a lot of
ways,” she said. “Whether it’s Tejano music or hip-hop, music helps
people tell their stories by recounting the struggles and the push for
social justice.”
The event is presented by the
UHV School of Arts & Sciences
and the de León Club of Victoria. Named after Victoria founder
Martin de León, the de León Club
is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting business and

Former Miss Texas Serves
as State Guardsman
Former Miss Texas USA, Lauren Guzman, also serves as a sergeant in the Texas State Guard.
Guzman was crowned Miss Texas USA 2014 on Sept. 1, 2013,
representing the Lone Star State and served the citizens of Texas as
both Sgt. Guzman and as Miss Texas this past year.
“In the community, being a role model with high standards is expected when being in and out of uniform,” Guzman said, speaking
on how the TXSG contributed to her success in the pageants. “The
TXSG taught me to be
on time for events, meetings, and how to network,
but it also takes a lot of
discipline, commitment
and self-motivation when
there is no monetary compensation involved.”
Guzman is currently
assigned to the 1st Regiment, TXSG, in the operations section in San
Antonio and served with
the regiment’s Quick Reaction Team. “We’ve given her the Former Miss Texas USA, Lauren Guzman. Conlatitude to attend required tributed photo.
Miss Texas USA functions
without penalty or adverse perception for not being able to attend
scheduled Unit Training Assemblies,” stated State Guard Col. Vincent Carag, 1st Regiment Commander. “We, the Soldiers of the 1st
Regiment, stand behind her efforts 100 percent.” Guzman agreed,
stating the troops and command, her “extended second family,” has
been very supportive.
Guzman joined the TXSG in 2007 and holds a bachelor’s degree
in forensic science from St. Mary’s University, which she earned
while serving in the guard.
Now that her reign as Miss Texas USA has ended, she is considering several career options to include looking to attend Officer
Candidate School.
“She was a soldier before she became Miss Texas USA and I
could tell she was a ‘squared away soldier’ when I first came on
board,” said 1st Regiment, Command Sgt. Maj., Mario Zuniga, giving accolades to Guzman.
“As a leader, she is a coach and mentor and is not afraid to get
dirty or ask questions,” he said, “and when she won Miss Texas
USA, both the colonel and I thought she’d be a great spokesperson

Courtyard by Marriott in Victoria. Contributed photo.
Courtyard by Marriott rolled
out its innovative lobby and room
design in Victoria, Texas. This is
the latest Courtyard featuring the
Refreshing Business lobby environment, where guests can enjoy
an open and flexible space. Along
with media pods, Wi-Fi and a variety of seating zones, the redefined
space is ideal for everything from
pop-up meetings to social gatherings.
Opened on Tuesday, September
2, 2014, the 109-room Courtyard
Victoria also offers a refreshing
and stylish room design that helps
guests stay connected, productive
and comfortable. Thoughtfully
planned, each room features plush
bedding, a functional work space,
spacious bathrooms, a separate
seating area and complimentary
in-room high-speed Internet.
Located at 8002 North Navarro

Beaumont, Texas. Whether traveling for business or pleasure, the
Courtyard Victoria offers guests
convenient access to Laser World,
Victoria Mall, Cinemark Movie

Courtyard understands business
travelers, and, through extensive
research, the brand continues to
evolve to meet guests’ chang-
ing needs. Combining innovative
technology with style and comfort, the adaptable lobby space
offers options so guests can make
the most of their time on the road.
“From day one, Courtyard has
prided itself as a brand that listens
to what business travelers want
from a hotel,” said Janis Milham,
vice president and global brand
manager, Courtyard. “Guests want
more control and choice with services and amenities that create a

The open, bright and contemporary Courtyard hotel lobby welcomes guests with vivid contrasting colors, including blue, green,
orange and red. The traditional
front desk is replaced with separate welcome pedestals to create
more personal and private interactions when guests check in and allow staff to show guests the lobby
features and provide assistance.
Flexible seating options range
from a communal table in the middle of the action, to more private
media booths with high-definition
televisions, to a more intimate,
semi-enclosed lounge area.
Dining has also been completely
redesigned with The Bistro – Eat.

flexible seating; easier access to
food and higher quality, healthier menu options for breakfast;

a 24/7 shop for snacks, beverages
and sundries, is always open for
late-night cravings or the toothpaste guests may have forgotten to
pack.
A key component of the Courtyard lobby is the newly enhanced
GoBoard®, which presents local
information, maps, weather, and

and there are ample electrical outlets in the lobby to power digital
devices. The business library features several computer terminals,
along with a printer and separate
computer stations dedicated solely
to printing airline boarding passes
and checking flight status.
Green has been Courtyard’s
signature color since Marriott
launched the brand 25 years ago.
Now it is even greener with the
introduction of a guest recycling
program for the environment. Receptacles for paper, glass, plastic
and metal are conveniently located
by side exits.
The four-story hotel features an
outdoor swimming pool and hot
tub, a large outdoor patio with fire
pit, fitness center and guest laundry, and offers 1,280 square feet

Walls cannot contain children’s museum
The future of the Children’s Discovery Museum looks bright. A
new building has been purchased,
the Capital Campaign is in full
swing, and the exhibit designers
are hard at work. There is no doubt
that the vision for the new space
is so big it transcends any physical
boundaries one might place on it.
Yet, a reinvented space takes
time, money, effort, and a whole
lot of worker bees. And while the
new space is being prepared, the
Children’s Discovery Museum
will operate as a “Museum without walls.”
Starting in September the Children’s Discovery Museum of
the Golden Crescent will travel
to festivals, schools, community
centers, homes, and businesses to
offer hands-on, interactive, educational programs to the children of
the Golden Crescent.
The programs will range from
early childhood music and movement programs such as “Musikgarten” to elementary school
offerings like “Engineering is Elementary” and “Lego WeDo Robotics.”
Because the Children Discovery Museum’s “ Museum without
walls” has no limits, these outreach programs will be offered in
a variety of ways, from in-school
field trips, to themed birthday parties that entertain and educate at a
location of your choice, to corporate events that provide stimulation for the whole family.
If it is fun, interactive learning
you desire, the museum plans to
bring it to you.
Executive director Melissa Dixon said, “Existing as a museum
without walls during this time of
transition gives us a unique opportunity to reach out to all of the
counties we serve while providing experiential, educational programs for children and families.”
She hopes that we can reach every
school in the Golden Crescent.
For the tiny tots (ages birth to
5 years old), instructors will visit
preschools, homes, and businesses
to provide Music In Motion, a program designed to stimulate physical, cognitive, and social development in children while engaging
them in musical play.
The museum will be available
to book music birthday parties,
play dates, and preschool visits
Contributed art.
throughout the year. “Museum
without Walls” visitors ages birth
to 3 years old can also sign up for
a semester of mommy and me music classes to be held Thursdays at
10:30 a.m. at Pidder Patter, beginning on September 4. Pricing for
Music In Motion varies depending
on the type of service offered.
For Elementary School students
(grades Kinder through 5th), the
museum will offer two STEMfocused programs: Engineering is
Elementary (designed to enhance
the Kindergarten through 2nd
grade curricula) and Lego WeDo
Robotics (designed to enhance
2nd through 5th grade curricula).
Engineering is Elementary is a
research based, teacher-tested program which integrates engineering
with the science already taught in
the schools to provide hands-on
learning for children. The museum will offer weekly after-school
Revista de Victoria, September 2014 — 5
classes for $50/month or one-time
in-school visits for $5/student.
The Lego WeDo Robotics program gives children the opportunity to create computer programs
that interact with machines that
they build out of Legos. The children “play” with their robots while
a museum representative provides
a lesson in literacy, math, science,
or social studies (schools can
choose their focus).
The first 1,000 children to participate in the in-school program
are free, thanks to a grant from
KinderMorgan. Children Discovery Museum’s education coordinator Tanya Wilkinson urges schools
to call the museum to sign up for
a 2-hour in-school workshop this
fall. “The Lego WeDo Robotics
program provides kids with handson stimulation that fully engages
them in learning and fits directly
into curriculum areas for their level,” Wilkinson said.
Once 1,000 children have been
reached, one-time in-school visits
will cost $5/child. Weekly afterschool programs are available as
well.
For more information on birthday parties, play dates, classes at
Pidder Patter, school visits, and
community events, you may check
the museum’s website at www.cdmgoldencrescent.com or call 361485-9140. You can also find the
Children’s Discovery Museum on
Facebook to stay up-to-date on the
museum’s schedule.

Walker family donates $250,000 to name UHV’s auditorium
The Kay and Ron Walker Auditorium will be home to the University of Houston-Victoria/American Book Review Reading Series
and a variety of other events when
the university’s new academic
building opens in 2015.
The Walkers donated $250,000
to UHV on Monday to name the
auditorium inside the UHV Aca-
demic & Regional Economic Development Building scheduled to
open in the spring. The gift is the
third largest donation from individuals in school history.
“We feel strongly about the presence of the University of HoustonVictoria and what it represents in
our community,” Kay said. “We
are big supporters of higher educa-
tion and realize what a vibrant university means to the future of Victoria and the surrounding areas.”
Kay served on the UH System
Board of Regents from 1993 to
1999 as vice chair, secretary and
member of the executive committee. She played an integral role
in helping UHV acquire tuition
revenue bonds for the purchase
of land and a new building. Since
that time, Kay has remained active with UHV, serving on various search and art committees.
She is a member emeritus on the
UHV President’s Regional Advisory Board. The Kay Kerr Walker
Scholarship is awarded annually to
an area UHV student.
Ron, a partner at Walker Keeling law firm, has served on the
Victoria College Board of Trustees since 1985 and has been board
president since 2008.
“We feel making this gift is one
of the most meaningful things we
can do,” Ron said. “We have been
given a lot of opportunities and
fully realize the importance higher
education and economic development plays in Victoria now and for
years to come.”
UHV Interim President Vic
Morgan thanked the Walkers for
their gift.
“The Walker family has been a
tremendous friend to higher education in Victoria for decades,” he
said. “This latest contribution is
another example of their generosity and their aspiration to see stu-

dents get a first-rate education. We
can’t thank them enough for all
they have done for UHV through
the years.”
Construction on the three-story,
approximately 63,000-square-foot
Academic & Regional Economic
Development Building is about a
third complete. The $12.7 million
building sits just northeast of the
UHV University Center, 3007 N.
Ben Wilson St. The facility will
house the School of Business Administration, Career Services, an
office for the Small Business Development Center director, and the
new Regional Center for Econom-
ic Development.
A longtime supporter of economic development and former
president of the Victoria Economic
Development Corp., Ron said one
outcome of the building’s opening
will be further cooperation among
Crossroads counties.
“Victoria has many regional
partners,” he said. “The programs
in this facility will play a part in
those continued partnerships. The
building itself is important because it will enhance UHV’s academic courses and events. But I
also really like the fact that it will

Prepare now for the night is coming
by John Turner
Encourage police and community partnership, promote involvement in crime prevention efforts,
build camaraderie within your
neighborhood and let criminals
know that you’re taking a stand
against crime.
In 1984 National Night Out was
created to do just that. Introduced
as “America’s Night Out against
Crime”, citizens were asked to
show their support by turning on
their porch lights and participating
in a symbolic front porch watch.
The inaugural event attracted 2.5
million people in 400 communities
across 23 states.
Fast forward to today and National Night out has turned into a
nationwide celebration involving
events that include block parties,
barbeques, parades, visits from
first responders, youth events and
safety demonstrations, all done to
promote police /community relations and the reduction of crime in
the community.
National Night Out is now recognized by almost 40 million people in over 16 thousand communities throughout all 50 states, U.S.
Territories, Canadian Cities and
Military bases around the world.
Although National Night Out
for the rest of the world is recognized on the first Tuesday in
August, Texas has its own date
which is looming on the horizon.
The first Tuesday in October, this
year October 7th, is recognized as
Texas’s National Night Out.
The Victoria Police Department
Crime Prevention Unit is asking
residents to participate in this great
community wide event. Last year
we had 44 registered parties within
Victoria, this year we hope to have
more. You can do as much or as
little as you choose. Some parties
are huge, with streets blocked off
and entire neighborhoods joining
in the action while others are small
and subdued, much like the original front porch watch.
The Victoria Police Department
Crime Prevention Unit will actually begin the festivities a week
early with the kickoff party at the
Victoria Mall. First responders,
military and local community organizations will all be represented
with displays and informational
Contributed art.
booths while local youth provide
entertainment. This year the kickoff party is on Saturday Sept 27
between noon and three and promises to be quite an event.
Take a stand against crime, light
up the night and make this year’s
National Night Out better than any
before.
If nothing else, it’s an excuse to
have a party.
If you want to register your
party (to have first responders
pay you a visit) or would simply
like more information on National
Night Out or the kickoff party give
the VPD Crime Prevention Unit a
call at 485-3808.
John Turner is an officer with
the Victoria Police Department’s
Crime Prevention Unit. He may be

HUNGER, from pg. 2
woman and child, yet one in six
people, including more than one
in five children, face hunger. In
the Golden Crescent area, there
are nearly 50,000 people living in
food insecurity. Food insecurity is
defined as living within danger of
going without food. Most come
from ‘working poor’ families,
where one or more people in the
family have a job, but aren’t able
to make ends meet. Children and
the elderly suffer most, as they are
vulnerable and unable to bring in
extra income. These are our neighbors, our friends, and our family.
We must shed light on this ‘silent
epidemic’ and come together to
stop hunger in our hometowns!
ABOUT THE FOOD BANK
The Food Bank of the Golden
Crescent was founded in 1986 by
Amelia Funari, a local youth leader and activist against child abuse.
She noted the connection between
child abuse and neglect and food
insecurity and approached H-E-B
Grocery Company about donations. H-E-B and America’s Second Harvest (now Feeding America) agreed to provide support and
the Food Bank was established on
May 16th, 1986. The Food Bank
distributed just over 6,000 pounds
in its first year. Today, the Food
Bank distributes more than 3 million pounds of food to those in
need, serving more than 22,000
clients every month through its
85+ member agencies. As a
member of the Feeding America
network, the Food Bank also supports programs that improve food
security among the people we
serve; educates the public about
the problem of hunger; and advocates for legislation that protects people from going hungry.
Individuals, charities, businesses
and government all have a role in
ending hunger. For more information, visit www.tfbgc.org or www.
feedingamerica.org, or find us on
Facebook at www.facebook.com/
FoodbankoftheGC or www.facebook.com/FeedingAmerica.

Festival. He has written books of
poems, short stories and songs.
Tejeda and his wife, Anisa Onofre, are co-publishers and editors
of Aztlan Libre Press, an independent publishing house dedicated
to the promotion, publication and
free expression of xicano literature
and art.
“Mr. Tejeda has such a wide
range of expertise that he will be
able to approach the presentation
like he’s telling a story,” Tomek
said. “He will give us a good overview of the music scene.”
Jeffrey Di Leo, dean of the UHV
School of Arts & Sciences, said
another highlight of the event will
be an informal panel with two musicians – Robert Ojeda and Linda
Escobar.
“Having musicians discuss their
experiences with Tejano music
adds a personal touch to the symposium,” he said. “I’m sure some
of the attendees have heard their
music or attended their performances. It will be fascinating to
hear the perspectives from the musicians themselves.”
Ojeda is a vocalist and plays the
trumpet, guitar and bass. He has
performed, recorded and toured
with such notables as Big Lu y Los
Muchachos, Little Joe y La Familia, La Orquesta de Roberto Sustaita and The Crystals. He founded
Musica Chicana ensemble Bronze.
He co-founded Calhoun County’s
annual Ancestors Parade and developed the monthly Tejano Cantantes Music Series at Faye Sterling Park in Port Lavaca.
Escobar has a five-decade career, starting with her childhood
hit record, “Frijolitos Pintos.” Natives of Alice, Linda and her father,
Eligio Escobar, were a father and
daughter team that toured nationwide with a caravan of stars. Escobar later formed her own band,
ZAMEN. In memory of her father
and all veterans, Linda founded
the El Veterano Conjunto Festival
in San Antonio. On July 13, Escobar was awarded the Lifetime
Achievement Award at the South
Texas Conjunto Music Awards.

As Guzman relinquishes her
crown to the next Miss Texas

I won Miss Texas USA.”
encouraging civic participation to
improve the quality of life in Victoria.
The symposium is usually held
in the spring, but the committee
decided to move this year’s event
to the fall.
“Having the event in September
allows us to tie in with other Hispanic Heritage Month events happening around campus,” Tomek
said. “We felt it was a good fit for
the symposium, and we hope it
enhances the other celebrations of
Hispanic heritage at UHV.”
A light breakfast will be served
at 8:30 a.m., and the program will
begin at 9 a.m. with a presentation
by Juan Tejeda, a San Antonio musician, writer, arts administrator,
educator, editor and publisher.
Tejeda is an instructor of music
and Mexican American studies at
Palo Alto College in San Antonio.
He spent 18 years as the xicano
music program director for the
Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center,
where he created the internation-
and recruiter for the TXSG.”
A pageant veteran, Guzman
started in 2005, where she won the
Miss Laredo Top Model Pageant.
In 2006, she was first runner-up
in the Miss Laredo Teen USA but
claimed the title in 2008. Persevering, she competed for Miss Texas
USA, being third runner-up in
2011, first runner-up in 2012 and
fourth runner-up in 2013 before
winning the title in 2014. Guzman followed her father’s
and grandfather’s footsteps into
the TXSG. Both served several
years with 1st Regiment; her father, a major in the medical corps,
and her grandfather, an education
professor posthumously promoted
to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Guzman looks to her family for
inspiration to do well and set an
example for others.
“My mom has always been there
and pushed me to do well while
I also try to do right to be a role
model for my sister,” she said.
As Miss Texas USA, Guzman

nation addressing issues such as
breast and ovarian cancer awareness, attended charity events, parades and visited hospitals and

and carry out regional economic
development.”
The new auditorium will seat
about 200 people, providing ample
room for the ABR Reading Series
and other public events. The Walkers are ABR patrons and have
hosted a number of Reading Series
receptions at their home.
“Naming funds support the
bricks-and-mortar needs of UHV
and also the intellectual work and
services within our buildings,”
said Greg Rutzen, UHV associate
vice president for university advancement and chief advancement
officer. “With this gift, the Walkers
join Dr. Josie Rivera and UHS Regent Roger Welder, who also have
named prominent spaces in the
building. I’m confident their collective generosity will inspire additional support for naming other
rooms and the building itself.”
Charlie Alcorn, UHV director
of corporate and foundation relations, said the Walkers’ contribution will generate goodwill and be
an influence on additional external
support.
“This gift provides an urgent reminder and undeniable challenge
to stakeholders across the area of
the importance of higher education and economic development
in our hometown,” Alcorn said.
“The message is clear: It’s time to
step up and help grow UHV into
the comprehensive destination
university that the Coastal Bend
deserves.”
The Walkers said the building
will make an attractive addition to
the Victoria campus.
“I’m pleased with the investment made in this building and
the plans for future growth,” Kay
said. “The university is committed
to full development of becoming a
destination university.”
In 2008, Ron served as co-chair
of the Commission on Expanding
Access to Higher Education. The
commission unanimously recommended that UHV add freshmen
and sophomores. Walker said the
committee realized creating a
successful destination university
would require support from Victoria residents.
“This gift is meant to be another
step to fulfill the pledge that was
made,” he said.

student-athletes
When Rajan Ghag first arrived
from England to attend school
and play soccer at the University
of Houston-Victoria in 2011, there
was no dedicated athletic training
room.

a long way in the past three years.”

el Director Ejecutivo considerará todos los comentarios apropiados y preparará una respuesta a todo los comentarios públicos esenciales, pertinentes,

Head trainer Thomas Pribyl demonstrates
how a trampoline is used to help University
of Houston-Victoria student-athletes work
on their balance. The trampoline is one
of several pieces of equipment purchased
with a Johnson Foundation donation for
UHV’s new Athletic Training Room. Contributed photo.
Athletic training now has a home
of its own. The new 2,400-squarefoot UHV Athletic Training Room
will open next week in the back
of the Totah Building, 3402 N.
Ben Wilson St., which also houses
the UHV Small Business Development Center and the Victoria
Chamber of Commerce. Much of
the equipment in the room was
purchased using a $69,800 contribution the M.G. and Lillie A.
Johnson Foundation gave in 2011.
“When I walked in the door for
the first time, I was speechless,”
Ghag said. “It looks like a professional team’s training room.
There’s a large amount of space,
top equipment and different sections for stretching, icing and cardio. It’s a big transformation.”

The chamber will hold a ribboncutting ceremony for the athletic
training room at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday. The ceremony is open to the
public.
UHV Athletics Director Ash
Walyuchow said the room will
help athletic trainers provide better
care for student-athletes and assist
recruiting new athletes to UHV.
“I think it’s one of the best facilities in this area and in the National
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics,” Walyuchow said. “It even
rivals some NCAA facilities that
I’ve seen. This gives student-athletes space to stretch and get their
muscles in condition. Preventing
injuries is as much of a goal as
treating injuries. We can now provide the best of both worlds.”
The space formerly was used for
storage by the UHV Facilities Department. Remodeling was done
this spring. TBC Commercial
Construction of Portland was the
general contractor on the approximately $200,000 project.
UHV began buying the equipment with the Johnson Foundation donation late in 2012. Some
of the equipment was used at Jaguar Court, but much of it had to
be placed in storage until the new
training room was ready.

1. Place eggs in medium
saucepan; cover with
water. Bring to a boiling
over high heat; cover
and remove from heat.
After 6 minutes, remove
2 eggs.
Rinse with
cold water; peel and set
aside. Let remaining
eggs stand in hot water
4 minutes more. Drain;
rinse with cold water.
Peel and coarsely chop
the 10 minute eggs.
2. Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet
cook bacon until crisp; drain. Discard drippings and wipe pan with
paper towel. Lightly toast both
side of bread slices in skillet. In
small bowl combine mayonnaise
and mustard.
3. Top 4 of the bread slices with
basil leaves, chopped egg, and cucumber. Halve the remaining two
eggs and place one half on each
sandwich. Top with mayonnaise
mixture, bacon and remaining
bread slices. Serves 4.
would like to extend a big thank
you to the Johnson Foundation,”
Walyuchow said. “The foundation provided us with the ability to
purchase top-notch, cutting-edge
equipment that will keep our student-athletes healthy and happy.”
The facility has several training
tables and taping stations. There is
a variety of exercise equipment,
along with weights and ice baths.
There’s even room for storage and
laundry facilities.
“If an athlete comes in to get
his ankle taped, he can get it done
without disturbing anyone who is
doing rehabilitation or treatment,”
Pribyl said. “We weren’t necessarily looking for anything big; we
just needed space to be functional. With this open space, a lot of
student-athletes can use this room
at once, which was a luxury we
didn’t have at Jaguar Court.”
The facility also has a private
examination room, which will be
used for physicals. All UHV athletes get a physical before their
seasons get underway. Pribyl also
plans to conduct cardiac screenings.
“I’m really impressed and
pleased with the way the space
turned out,” Walyuchow said.
“The way the room is laid out provides a good flow for everything
that needs to be done. It’s easy access for student-athletes. There’s
ample parking. And it has designated areas for wet treatments,
which we’ve never had before. It
will provide a lot more efficiency
for our training staff.”
When an athlete is injured,
an initial assessment and firstaid treatment will be performed
in the athletic training room. If
needed, an athlete is then referred
to a physician. Most of the postinjury rehabilitation also will take
place in the training room. In addition, athletes can use equipment
in the room to improve flexibility,
strengthen their core and maintain
their shoulders in the case of baseball and softball players.
Pribyl said August through October will be a busy time in the
training room with soccer and golf
in season and fall softball training.
He is anxious to see players’ reactions to the facility, especially the
ones who have been at UHV for
multiple seasons.
The training room also will
serve as a recruiting tool for UHV
coaches, Pribyl said.
“When recruits see what is
available, it shows the university
is standing behind its students,” he
said. “We are fortunate for an institution of our size to have a training room of this caliber. It couldn’t
have happened without the support
of the UHV administration and the
Johnson Foundation.”
