The Colby College Athletic Training Staff are committed to the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries occurring as a result of athletic participation. We have a strong team of certified athletic trainers and student workers, who strive to provide the best possible care to student-athletes at Colby. Our staff works closely with coaches, student-athletes, and the medical staff at the Garrison-Foster Health Center to ensure that student-athletes are able to compete at the best of their abilities in a safe and healthy fashion. Athletic trainers travel with teams to provide services at away matches.
