NEW ORLEANS, La. - SFA assistant athletic director for sports medicine Sandy Miller has been honored as the 2011 recipient of the Tim Kerin Award by the National Association of Athletic Trainers at their annual convention this week.
The Tim Kerin Award recognizes one individual each year for outstanding service by an athletic trainer. The award is selected by Gatorade and announced during the annual national meeting and is intended to honor Kerin, a former athletic trainer at the University of Tennessee.
Miller has spent nearly 30 years at SFA, coming to Nacogdoches in 1981 after spending five years as the head athletic trainer at Northwest Missouri State. He has already been honored in his tenure with inductions into the Southwest Athletic Trainer's Association (SWATA) Hall of Fame, and a 2002 induction into the NATA Hall of Fame.
He is on the board of directors for the NATA and has even served as NATA district director for Texas and Arkansas. He was honored in 1999 as one of 12 in the nation to be named a Distinguished Athletic Trainer by the NATA.
