GREENVILLE, S.C. – Barton athletic training has been chosen by its peers as the inaugural Conference Carolinas Athletic Training Staff of the Year.

Barton’s athletic training staff is charged with providing support to 23 varsity sports and multiple Developmental programs.
“The Barton athletic training staff has worked tirelessly over the course of the 2021-22 academic year to provide tremendous daily support to the Barton student-athletes,” Conference Carolinas Commissioner Chris Colvin said. “In addition to Barton’s above and beyond efforts, I would also like to commend all of the athletic training staffs in Conference Carolinas. All of our athletic trainers work incredibly hard, and nothing in Conference Carolinas could happen without their hard work behind the scenes.”
Barton Director of Athletics Todd Wilkinson is appreciative of his athletic training staff being recognized for their efforts over the course of the 2021-22 academic year.

The team is critically important to the Division of Athletics' work each day. From a first full season of football in addition to servicing established sports and hosting Developmental and conference championships, they stepped up and delivered every time in 2021-22. Congratulations to this group for an exceptional year."
