Timothy Avrerill, Corb Cannefax and Levi Bell won the Student Bowl at the Texas chapter American College of Sport Medicine convention Feb. 24-25 in Waco.
The team has been invited to represent Texas at the National ACSM Conference Student Bowl on June 1 in San Diego, California.
“This is a huge honor and the first time that UT Tyler has either won the the TACSM Student Bowl or been eligible to compete at the national level,” Ashley Dalby, a lecturer in health and kinesiology, said in information submitted to the Talon.
