by Page 8 December, 1990 — LION'S EYE — Campus Athletic Trainer Works Hard To Keep Delco Athletes Injury-free by Frank Finnegan If you are an athlete, you are probably very familiar with Penn State’s athletic trainer Barb Rostick. Barb is the one you see at all the athletic events and in the weight room, and she is a very im- portant person to the staff of Penn State Delco. Barb has been with the University since the spring of 1989. She is responsi- ble for organizing the intramural pro- gram, supervising the weight room, ‘keeping the players on the athletic teams injury free, and a bundle of other things dealing with her job. Next semester Barb will also be ad- ding teaching on the college level to her long line of credits. Before she came to Penn State, she was a Health and 2 i Freshman C during a recent pre-game warm-up. raig Killinen shoots high over Physical Education instructor in Lower Moreland. Her classes at Penn State will be instruction in CPR and First Aid. Barb is quite an athlete in her own right. She has played field hockey, basketball, and softball, as well as lacrosse, on the college level at West Chester University where she was a ma- jor in Sports Psychology. She now is quite a bowler. Though she has many responsibilities, Barb always finds the time to give the students some friendly advice, whether it be about relationships, designing a workout plan for students, showing athletes how to isolate certain muscles in order to give them a better work out, or just sitting down and having a good laugh with them. : Barb has this advice for students 4 “7 Photo by: DAVID RHOADES Lady Lions Maul PCC In ’90 Season Opener thinking about going into this line of work.” It’s a lot of hard work as far as training goes — you have to be prepared to spend a lot of hours with the teams.” She then added ‘‘You really have to like being in a sports environment.” Barb really lives up to those words too, spending 200 hours a semester do- ing her job. Even though she spends this much time, she still prefers working at the college level rather than the high school level. Barb commented, “I really like working on the college level because it’s a lot more relaxing — it’s less struc- tured than the high school level.” So, as you can see, Barb Rostick spends a lot of time making sure that the athletes of Penn State are in great shape throughout their seasons. Thank you, Barb, for all you do for our school. Barbara Rostick Campus Athletic Trainer Hoopmen Set For Winning Season by Kevin Rockwell The 1990-91 PSU Delco’s men’s basketball team is looking forward to another strong season. Winning the regular season CCAC championship for the past two years, Coach Bill Wiley is very optimistic of the team’s chances of a third straight title and a better post- season performance. The fifteen member team has a strong core, with four returning players from last season. The Lions are coached by Bill Wiley and his assistant Lou Tosti. This year’s five starters are Greg Bran- che, Joe Giunta, Scott Smith, Tim Rayer, and Andy Smerigan. Sophomore Joe Giunta, who missed last season’s play due to an injury, has been burning up the courts so far by averaging twenty-five-points per game through the first four games of the preseason. The team has been holding practices every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6:00 to 8:00 and Tuesday and and Cabrini. The Delco Lions went up against Williamson, while DCCC played Cabrini. The championship and consola- tion took place on Sunday, December 2. The team is planning to practice near- ly every day of the winter break and will be in the Neuman College tournament on January 4 and 5. The regular season is set to open on January 16, with an away game at PSU Ogontz. The home opener will take place on January 19, versus PSU Schuylkill at 3:00. : Coach Wiley feels that the team has a lot of depth. He claims that “other teams won't be able to play nine men like us.” Even though the team has won the regular season league title for the past two years, they have been eliminated in the playoffs. This year’s team, as well as Coach Wiley, is confident that they will go further and maybe even win the championship.
