Riley (Kenney) Ungaretti was a three-sport star for the Polson Pirates before she went to the University of Montana in Missoula and eventually moved to Butte. She is now a St. James Sports Medicine athletic trainer at Butte High School.
Ungaretti also has deep family roots in the Mining City. Both sides of her family are from Butte, including her father Tom, who was a star on Butte Central's 1984 State champion Butte Central boys' basketball team. Her grandmother Connie Kenney is the former news director at KBOW.
Listen to this podcast as we shine a light on the importance of athletic trainers at sporting events in the wake of the on-field incident involving Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin a couple of weeks ago. Riley discusses the duties her and her colleges share at local sporting events. She discusses her upbringing and her surprising road to the hometown of her parents and grandparents.
