Shane EvansThe athletic department has acquired a new trainer in the Dixon Center this year. Jennifer Langley of Drexel Hill, Pa., has filled the position left by, Meeghan Roth. Langley graduated from the University of Virginia. This is her first full-time position out of school and she is extremely excited about her new position.
“I love the college setting and the students have been wonderful,” Langley said. Langley attended nearby Ursinus College. Ursinus is where she developed her love for Division III sports. However, Langley worked with the University of Virginia’s football team. For Langley, adapting to the Cabrini College atmosphere was extremely easy. She believes this is because of the students and administration being so welcoming.
Questions were raised by the student body concerning why former trainer, Roth, left. Athletic Director, Leslie Danehy, explained that Roth left because of a better job opportunity. “Meeghan recently gave birth to a child and it was financially in her best interest to take the other position,” Danehy said. Roth is beginning a new job position at Pottstown High School, where she will be receiving a significantly higher salary. Also, Danehy conveyed that Roth was not employed by Cabrini. Her employer was McShane Sports Medicine, from whom Cabrini contracts trainers.
Langley said she is very satisfied with her new job at Cabrini. Danehy reported her doing a terrific job. “For a young trainer, she still has a decent amount of experience,” Danehy said.
Before concluding the interview, Langley gave all the athletes at Cabrini a few tips to stay healthy during the season. “Stretch before working out, practice regularly, and understand what you are doing before you try to do it.” If you are an athlete recuperating from an injury, Langley also relayed a few pointers: “Listen to the trainer, and take your time getting back into the sport to prevent further injury.”
