MONROE - The Monroe Clinic announced the results of the sixth-annual Athletic Performance Testing. Overall, 641 athletes from 11 area schools in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin competed against their peers in the areas of speed, power and agility.

"This program allows athletes to see how they compare to the competition and to learn their specific strengths and weaknesses," said Eric Katzenberger, ATC/L, Monroe Clinic's Sports Medicine Coordinator.

The program provides performance testing and enhancement with area coaches. It will provide more details regarding drills and programs designed to improve speed, power and agility.
