Lexington High School

Congratulations to the 2023-2024 Football Cheerleading Squad!

There's just some people in a school that everyone seems to know just by saying their first name... meet Lexington High School's, "Nathan." Thank you, Nathan, for all you do to keep our student-athletes healthy. Enjoy his bio! .... My name is Nathan Martz, I’m a Certified Athletic Trainer with STAR Physical Therapy, I have been certified for 7 years now, and love every aspect of my job from injury management to returning to play. I grew up playing sports, which eventually led me to this career when I suffered my own injury my senior year of high school. I earned a Bachelors Degree in Athletic Training, and a Masters Degree in Sport and Exercise Science both from the University of Central Arkansas. Before joining Star PT, I worked with various collegiate teams in Arkansas. I am married to my high school sweetheart Laura, and we have one daughter named Emma. We both love Lexington because it reminds us of our hometown in Arkansas!
