The facility will also aid in recruitment. Tonya Veltrop, admissions counselor, is excited about York's arrival. Veltrop commends York's enthusiasm for speaking with prospectives. She believes it helps when the Athletic Director himself is supporting our facilities and the program, sending a good message about the university. It is not uncommon for an athlete to have to miss class for a game, or to struggle with class-work because of their hectic practice schedules.
Teachers are less lenient on athletes because they miss classes for scheduled games.
York will be teaching basic math at WWU next semester, showing his versatile skills and belief in the importance of education. York welcomes the challenges he was hired to address. College is different than high school. Wright spoke of York as seeming well rounded. He looks forward to working with York's talent and high aspirations.
