ATHLETIC MEDICINE EXCEPTIONAL CARE FOR ALL STUDENT-ATHLETES Providing expert care to more than 600 Husker student-athletes, Nebraska features one of the most well-trained and highly skilled athletic medicine staffs in the country. Under the guidance of Director of Athletic Medicine Dr. Lonnie Albers, Head Athletic Trainer and Physical Therapist Jerry Weber and Football Head Athletic Trainer Mark Mayer, the 2015-16 Nebraska athletic medicine staff consists of five doctors, two therapist/athletic trainers, 11 athletic trainers and seven graduate assistant athletic trainers. Nebraska’s medical facilities have long been among the nation’s best, and NU’s athletic medicine center within the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex will keep the Huskers on the front line of technology for decades to come. In addition to Nebraska’s North Stadium facility, Haymarket Park, the Bob Devaney Sports Center, Pinnacle Bank Arena and the Nebraska Soccer and Tennis Complex all feature athletic medicine areas. The Devaney Center’s Athletic Medicine facility underwent an extensive expansion as part of the Hendricks Training Complex addition in 2011. 6 2015 NEBRASKA CROSS COUNTRY
