Celebrating Champions of Athletic Training 💙💛

CATA is proud to recognize CIF Los Angeles City Section Commissioner Vicky Lagos and Assistant Commissioner Alexa Berg for their continued support of athletic trainers and student-athlete safety.

Through their leadership, athletic trainers now have a seat at the table through the CIF-LACS Athletic Trainer Advisory Group, helping ensure the sports medicine perspective is represented in important Section discussions. Vicky and Alexa have also championed the assignment of athletic trainers to CIF-LACS championship events, providing qualified medical coverage for student-athletes during the Section's biggest competitions. Their commitment to athlete safety is also reflected in the CIF-LACS Gold Book, which includes language supporting athletic trainers and medical professionals at contests, dedicated football sideline coverage, and pregame medical meetings to review communication and Emergency Action Plans.

Thank you, Vicky and Alexa, for your partnership, advocacy, and commitment to advancing athletic training throughout the Los Angeles City Section.

Region 5 AT of the Month: Georgia Rieger Denny!

Representing the collegiate setting at the University of California Irvine Sports Medicine, Georgia has made a tremendous impact through her dedication to the overall well being of student athletes. A NATA member for 13 years and certified athletic trainer for 10 years, Georgia earned her Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training from Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania, and her Master of Science in Post-Professional Athletic Training with a concentration in Higher Education from Plymouth State University in New Hampshire.

At UC Irvine, Georgia has worked with a wide variety of teams including water polo, soccer, cross country/track & field, and volleyball. Georgia has become a critical advocate for student-athlete mental health at UC Irvine, serving as the point person for mental health within the athletic training clinic. She is currently completing her hours to sit for her Health and Wellness Coaching exam, which will further strengthen UCI Sports Medicine’s ability to recognize when student athletes need clinical support versus mental skills support and ensure they receive the best care possible.

Outside of athletics, Georgia enjoys creative projects, especially crocheting and making personalized gifts for friends and family.
