Thoughts and Prayers to the Dallas Cowboy family

I just wanted to post a short note regarding one of our SWATA members who was injured over the weekend. Severe storms moved across the Metroplex and the state over the weekend. If you haven't already heard one of the more significant storms moved through Irving/Las Colinas area. This particular storm caused the failure of the structure of the Dallas Cowboys indoor practice facility. The Cowboys were having a rookie workout at the time of the collapse. No one was killed because of this building collapse but several Cowboys staffers suffered various degrees of injury. The most significant injury was suffered by a Cowboys scout who will be paralyzed from the waist down. One person who sustained one of the more serious injuries is Cowboys Assistant Athletic Trainer and SWATA member Greg Gaither. According to news reports Greg had surgery for a fractured leg. Please send your thoughts and prayers to Greg Gaither, the Dallas Cowboys athletic training staff, and the entire Dallas Cowboys family. We will update this post as more information becomes available.
