Injury Prevention Clinic at Lehigh Sunday

The Lehigh University track and field team and Running School is hosting a Performance and Injury Prevention Clinic for all area athletes, coaches and trainers from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at Rauch Fieldhouse on the Goodman Campus.

The special guest is Jim Wharton, an internationally known trainer, therapist and author who established his practice in 1989 and has worked with luminaries in the sports world from pro football players to Olympic gold medal winners.

Another highlight will be the use of DartFish video to set up for biomechanical analysis. This is the same product that the U.S. Olympic team and other pro teams use to determine biomechanical efficiency.

Having a high school athlete early in his or her career get into the correct ''position'' should lead to greater efficiency with less effort, resulting in better performance.
