Dr. Gould, of HP&R, and Jana Edwards were 2 of the 106 participants running in this year's HOMECOMING 5k. The lead-sponsor for the 5k, the Athletic Training Education Program's student club (USMSSMA), worked closely with the Kinesiotherapy and Exercise Science student clubs to schedule, plan and run the event. All proceeds will go towards the financial support of these student club's activities and events. Dr. Saunders served as the official race starter for the runner's who enjoyed a new, wheel measured course through the beautiful Southern Miss campus.
