Hi, I am Dawn Allen one of the two Athletic Trainers at Leander H.S. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Texas at El Paso and my Masters of Science Degree from Ohio University. I am licensed by the Texas Department of Health in Athletic Training (L.A.T.), nationally certified by the National Athletic Trainers Association-Board of Certification (A.T.C.) and a certified CPR instructor for the American Red Cross.

I work in conjunction with Wayne Lauritzen in providing health care for the athletes of Leander H.S. Our job includes the prevention, care, management and rehabilitation of athletic related injuries. The large centrally located Athletic Training room at Leander H.S. provides all the necessary resources in the treatment and rehabilitation of the injured athlete. We also oversee an Athletic Training program that teaches taping, bandaging, CPR training, basic injury recognition, wound care and basic first aid. These Athletic Training students assist Mr.Lauritzen and me with the day-to-day Athletic Training room duties and coverage of various sports. The students are enrolled in a basic sports medicine class and also work with the sports that are in season.

It is our goal to provide comprehensive sports medicine services to the Leander H.S. athletes. We strive to return athletes to play as quickly and safely as possible. We serve as liaisons between coaches, doctors, parents and the athlete in order to facilitate the best possible care in a timely and safe manner. The local medical community assists us in our efforts including general physicians, orthopedic doctors, physical therapists, etc. The team physician is Michael Valastro,MD of Round Rock Orthopaedics & Rehab. We also work closely with Hill Country Family Health Specialists that include Ron Mansolo, MD and Elizabeth Burnell-Mansolo, MD. If you have any concerns or questions we encourage you to contact us.

We look forward to meeting and seeing you.
