Athletic Training

Athletic trainers are highly educated and skilled healthcare professionals specializing in the prevention, examination, treatment and rehabilitation of acute or chronic injuries. In cooperation with a team physician and other allied health personnel, the athletic trainer functions as an integral member of the athletic healthcare team in secondary schools, colleges, sports medicine clinics, professional sports programs, industrial settings and even Broadway! Our primary focus is the needs and safety of our student athletes.

Meet the Trainers

Jennifer McCrabb

Jen graduated from Columbia High School, then went on to complete her degree in Physical Education with a concentration in Athletic Training/Sports Medicine at East Stroudsburg University. She participated in field hockey, basketball, and softball in high school, then continued playing basketball for the E.S.U. Warriors.

“My love for sports and helping people, went hand in hand with athletic training," says Jen. "It’s the best of both worlds. I take pride in being able to get an athlete back into action as quick and safe as possible. Some of my most memorable moments are watching our athletes achieve personal and team goals!”

You can usually find Jen rolling in the mud while participating in obstacle course runs, hiking, or at the gym. Her most satisfying past time is watching her sister Amy participate in Special Olympics. Jen resides in Pequea with her husband Jeff and their cats, Aladdin and Izzabella.

Anya Badulak

Anya graduated from Lampeter Strasburg High School class of ‘08 and completed a bachelors degree in Athletic Training from East Stroudsburg University. She participated in softball and marching band in high school but didn’t participate in any sports or rec leagues through college.

“Graduating high school and after having been around Jen and Kim through the years, I had a strong feeling this is what I wanted to do," recalls Anya. "My goal leaving high school was getting my degree and being able to come back and work with Jen McCrabb at Lampeter Strasburg High School, and I can say I have officially accomplished that. Seeing the way they guided the athletes and the bonds they formed with them that lasted years beyond grade school felt special. I enjoyed sports, even though I myself was not athletic. That combined with the system of support you create for these young people really feels like a gift. Being able to be a part of the process from the time of injury, helping the athlete through the rehab both physically and sometimes mentally, to see them grow as a person, really makes you feel good.”

Anya enjoys spending time with her family and binge-watching shows with her husband. She lives in the Bridgeport area with her husband and two cats, Jericho and Toga Rose. They are expecting their first child in June.
