 National Sports Medicine Champions Crowned

By American Academic Competition Institute

The American Academic Competition Institute (AACI), is proud to announce the results of the third annual National High School Sports Medicine Championships, which took place on May 19, 2014. AACI's goal is to give students from across the nation an opportunity to excel in their chosen area of study via an online competition. AACI developed the online National High School Sports Medicine Championship to help test and celebrate student knowledge in Sports Medicine & Athletic Training.

In an effort to reduce the high costs of creating a national championship, and to ensure that all qualified participants have the opportunity to compete at the national level, AACI has created aunique online testing application. Eligible schools were those who had placed in the top 10 (of their respective division) at any regional Sports MedicineCompetition. Should a school not qualify, students from the school could compete as individuals if their score in a state or regional competition was in the top 25 individual scores.
