GREAT FALLS, MT (Wednesday, February 20, 2008) — The University of Great Falls men’s cross-country team has announced the signing of their third male student-athlete from Carbonado, Washington to an NAIA/Frontier Conference Letter of Intent.
Andrew Letho will be joining the University of Great Falls from White River High School in Carbonada, Washington. He is a two-year letterman in cross-country and track and a four-year letterman on the wrestling team for the White River High School Hornets. During the West Central District Cross-Country Championships in his senior year, Letho ran a personal record with a time of 17:57 and finished 72nd overall. His personal record in the 800 meters for track is 2:05.
Andrew’s favorite hobby is photography and he is currently the assistant editor of his high school yearbook.
“Being that I love photography, one of my highlights during my recruiting visit to the University of Great Falls was a beautiful sunrise outside the dorms. I’m looking forward to being a part of the team and this school. My goal for the 8K in cross-country for my first collegiate season is to run under 28:00,” said UGF’s newest cross-country and track signee Andrew Letho.
He plans on majoring in business and getting a minor in art when he enrolls at the University of Great Falls in the fall.
"Andrew fit in really well with the athletes on our team during his recruiting visit over homecoming weekend. We are confident that he will be a positive influence, a hard worker, and a great addition to our team! He set a good goal for himself as a freshman. He wants to make the top 7 for our men’s team in the fall," said UGF Cross Country and Track Coach Jim Brewer.
Andrew becomes the seventh overall and third male cross-country and track recruit to sign for the University of Great Falls so far this season.
