Hopkins Schools Trainer Honored By National Football Foundation

The Minnesota Chapter of the National Football Foundation has named Hopkins Athletic Trainer Scott Westermann as the recipient of this year’s Fred Zamberletti Award.

The award, “named for the legendary athletic trainer for the Minnesota Vikings, honors an outstanding Minnesotan athletic trainer who has had strong impact in the athletic training profession,” according to the school district.

“Scott is a very loyal and dedicated member,” a school district news release quoted Activities Director Dan Johnson. “He is the person solely responsible for prevention and care of athletic injuries, rehabilitation of students following those injuries, and the lead decision maker on the readiness for students to participate in athletics.”

Westermann has been a licensed athletic trainer at Hopkins High School for 11 years.

The foundation will honor him at its Sixth Annual “Honoring Legends, Inspiring Leaders” awards event. The event, presented by the Minnesota Vikings, takes place at 6 p.m. April 28 at the James B. Woulfe Alumni Hall in the Anderson Student Center at the University of St. Thomas (2115 Summit Ave., St. Paul).
