At Friday's baccalaureate ceremony at the chapel, we were proud to witness Pat "Diesel" Deedy accepting the first Glenn Marinelli Award for Excellence in Athletic Training. You can see Deedy accepting the award from President Murray above, and you can see the plaque here as well. The award is named in honor of Marist's longtime head athletic trainer, and a great friend of the program, who has been battling cancer for the past three years. Deedy worked very hard over the past four years, and he was always our go-to guy on injury treatment and prevention. And, while I busted his chops here and in person about his "lab rats" experiment this spring, it should be noted that his experiment yielded a Junior Nationals qualifier (Spencer Johnson) and several other PR times from the group. Nicely done, Diesel!
