2 | UW Tyee Club Gratitude ReportWITH YOU BY OUR SIDE, WE CAN WIN IN EVERYTHINGMy family and I had never experienced anything like the Purple Reign of the Washington-Oregon game last month. The delirious joy, the deafening cheers, the overwhelming pride of Husky Nation. It armed every reason we had for wanting to come to Washington: This is a place that can win in everything.As exhilarating as that victory was, the scoreboard is only one measure of success. With the lives and futures of our student-athletes as our North Star, we can win competitively, academically, socially and nancially. And we can do it all while making you proud not just of the wins, but of how we win — with integrity and class and hearts full of gratitude.That’s my promise to you as I begin my tenure as Washington’s new Athletic Director. I can make that vow with condence because of you. As a donor to Husky Athletics, you understand that you’re investing in so much more than victorious teams. You’re providing an experience to 650 student-athletes that will equip them with the skills and characteristics they’ll need to succeed for the rest of their lives. With you by our side, we cannot fail.Sure, there are challenges ahead. But, oh, what opportunities lie ahead as well!As we prepare to enter the grander stage of the Big Ten, we must invest in things at higher levels than ever before. There’ll be more travel, even more academic support, pressure to keep up with technological advances, tougher competition to attract and retain the best coaches. Your generous support will help us knock down every obstacle that stands in the way of student-athlete success.I’m fortunate to take the helm of an Athletic Department that’s humming with a stellar sta and with committed donors like you. And my wife Amy and I couldn’t be more grateful to be able to raise our two children — Elle, 10, and William, 9 — in such a caring community and with such incredible student-athletes as their role models.My wife and kids returned to New Orleans after the Huskies’ victory against Oregon to tie up school and the move. William wore his Michael Penix Jr. jersey to school three days in a row. That pretty much sums up our family’s experience so far. We are all in, and I’m thankful you are as well.Go Dawgs!GRATITUDE REPORT NOVEMBER 2023DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS HELP GUIDE THE TYEE CLUBWe rely on the advice, expertise and commitment of dedicated Tyee Club members who serve on our volunteer committees.

UWTYEECLUB.ORG | 3LOOK OUT BIG TEN, HERE COMES WASHINGTON!In 2024–25, the University of Washington will move from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten Conference. It’s one more huge step for an Athletic Department that’s always embraced big challenges and opportunities.Three weeks after Washington became the 42nd state in the nation in 1889, UW took the eld on Thanksgiving Day for their rst Football game. There was no coach. Four starters had never played the sport. And we lost, 20-0.That humble start gave birth to a proud and passionate Husky Nation, which has never wavered in its support for every sport at Washington. Throughout the decades, our donors and fans have taught us that, win or lose, we’re always better together. As we like to say, the strength of the Dawg is the Pack.So, together, we’ll be joining the Big Ten Conference next year and cheering on the Huskies as they face teams like Michigan and Penn State next season. We’ll also work to retain historic rivalries as Oregon, UCLA, and USC also move to the Big Ten.As UW President Ana Mari Cauce said to sports reporters after the announcement, our departure from the Pac-12 is “a bittersweet moment … (however) embracing the future does not require dishonoring the past.” It was a hard decision, but it was the right decision to ensure that the legacy of Washington Athletics endures.“We’re excited that our players will be on a more visible national stage and that so many new fans and potential recruits around the nation will be introduced to all of Washington’s outstanding sports programs,” says Football Head Coach Kalen DeBoer. “And the resources we’ll have will be phenomenal for Husky Athletics.”Softball Head Coach Heather Tarr agrees: ““This is an incredible opportunity to perpetuate the Washington brand across the entire country. It links us to networks we’ve never been able to reach before, playing in dierent time zones and in front of bigger crowds on the road. Softball and other UW sports have always been able to recruit well nationally, but the increased visibility in the Big 10 will be a boon to those eorts.”We’ve come a long way since that very rst Football game back in 1889. Today, there’s never been a more exciting time to be a Husky fan. We’re already on the road to a stellar nal year in the Pac-12 and are gearing up for the next era of Washington Athletics. With the support of Husky Nation, the future looks brighter than ever!
4 | UW Tyee Club Gratitude ReportFUELING CHAMPIONSTHE POWER OF STRENGTH, CONDITIONING AND NUTRITIONFor Husky Football, the most important time is not game day, but the critical hours long before student-athletes step onto that eld. The unwavering focus on strength, conditioning and nutrition, coupled with a phenomenal sta, contributed to UW’s 11-2 record last season.At the forefront of these eorts are Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Ron McKeefery and Director of Football Performance Nutrition Alison VandenBerghe. Together, the two utilize a delicate balance of analytics, technology and relationship building to help Football student-athletes reach new heights.Coach McKeefery focuses on physical training and building mental resilience and discipline. He utilizes state-of-the-art technology like heart rate variability monitors, ForcePlates and body composition scans to create tailor-made programs for each student-athlete. This enables players to monitor progress, set individual performance goals and use body composition tests, real-time data and cutting-edge tools for optimal performance. By guiding his players to push past their comfort zones and challenging them to confront and overcome their own perceived limitations, Coach McKeefery and his team prepare them for challenges on and o the eld. “Our players are hungry for the type of training we do,” shares Coach McKeefery. “They understand there’s no growth in comfort and that they must work to get better each and every day.” Upon joining the UW in January 2022 and discovering the absence of a Football team dietitian on sta, VandenBerghe took the opportunity to shape the program. In addition to creating personalized meal plans and conducting body composition assessments four to ve times a year, VandenBerghe provides ongoing nutrition education for the Football team. These encompass guidance on dietary choices, plate coaching, nutrient timing, performance-oriented grocery shopping, decoding food labels and interactive cooking demonstrations. These initiatives enhance student-athletes’ culinary skills, beneting their performance and long-term well-being.Even with the best analytics, tech and education, performance on the eld often comes down to the human factor. Both Coach McKeefery and Vanden-Berghe focus on creating a rapport with student-athletes to help them be their healthiest. Coach McKeefery explains, “You’re not going to change your habits for someone you don’t care for.”
UWTYEECLUB.ORG | 5The level of support and care shown by VandenBerghe and Coach McKeefery is evident in the remarkable progress of student-athletes such as Michael Penix Jr. and Ulumoo Ale.Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has gotten a lot stronger since adopting a comprehensive tness plan. Here are a few of his achievements:• He’s gained almost nine pounds of muscle and can now lift 65 pounds more in his bench press. • He’s also improved in other exercises: adding 13 more reps in the 225 test, lifting 150 pounds more in his squat and jumping 17 inches farther in the broad jump.• His pro agility test time also decreased by 0.23 seconds. These advances have made him more resilient, tter and stronger.Defensive lineman Ulumoo Ale’s personalized nutrition plan has led to remarkable changes. Coach McKeefery lauds, “He is leaner, stronger, faster and more explosive.” Some of Ale’s accomplishments include:• He lost 40 lbs, reducing body fat by 5.8%. • He also added 30 lbs to his bench press and 7 reps on the 225 rep test. • His squat improved by an impressive 95 lbs. • His agility improved with a 0.48-second drop in pro agility time, a 5.5” broad jump increase and a 7.6” vertical improvement. Physical progress translates into performance. These stories are just two examples of many which highlight the power of personalized nutrition and dedicated training.None of these eorts would be possible without the donor-funded resources available at UW. “Our donors’ footprints are in every single thing that we do,” Coach McKeefery says fondly. “Whether it is the nutrition we provide student-athletes or the equipment we train them with, donor contributions are a huge part of the success the athletes have.”As the team heads into the upcoming season, their focus remains on continuous improvement. Coach McKeefery says, “We consistently strive for innovation, staying current and pushing the envelope in pursuit of cutting-edge performance.”
6 | UW Tyee Club Gratitude ReportUW is gearing up for a monumental new chapter in Husky Basketball history. Unlike other conference members who have dedicated practice space for Men’s and Women’s Basketball, our teams currently share their practice court with Volleyball and Gymnastics at Alaska Airlines Arena. This arrangement eats into precious practice time, hampering the teams’ progress. It has also impacted potential recruits, who view the limited practice space as a potential drawback when considering the University of Washington.Set to be constructed next to the renowned Hec Edmundson Pavilion, the new home for Husky Basketball includes two cutting-edge practice courts available to student-athletes 24/7 for training and pick-up games. A breathtaking skywalk viewing area will also be constructed to allow fans and families to witness practices up close. The state-of-the-art facility will also feature a welcoming foyer to pay homage to the rich history and legendary players of Husky Men’s and Women’s Basketball.Tina Langley, Head Coach of UW Women’s Basketball, expresses her enthusiasm for the project. “This incredible facility will immediately impact our student-athletes by providing them with the ideal environment to learn, grow and develop into eective leaders,” Langley arms. She emphasizes that top-notch facilities empower teams to recruit and compete at the highest level.A NEW HOME FOR HUSKY BASKETBALLA FRESH FACILITY TO HONOR THE PAST AND BRING US INTO THE FUTUREThe Home for Husky Basketball stands as the foundation for Washington’s sporting heritage and lays the groundwork for the future of UW Athletics. Coach Langley wants to extend her sincere gratitude to all those who support this endeavor, as “they are creating extraordinary experiences that will echo through generations of student-athletes to come.”When the facility nally opens its doors and begins to welcome players and fans in summer 2025, it will symbolize more than just a physical structure. It will represent the unity of Husky spirit.“This project is being fueled by our donors’ shared passion for Washington, their love for what this place stands for and hope for what it can become for our student-athletes and our community,” says Shannon Kelly, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Advancement. “We are excited to see this dream become a reality with their support.”
UWTYEECLUB.ORG | 7“THE BOYS IN THE BOAT ”A HISTORIC TALE INSPIRES A NEW GENERATIONOn the brink of Hitler’s rise, nine young Husky rowers fearlessly embarked on an incredible journey, carrying with them the hopes of a nation. Defying all odds, this ragtag group seized gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. In 2013, the gripping book “The Boys in the Boat” brought their inspirational tale to life — detailing all the trials, setbacks and — nally — cathartic triumph. “Even before the book, we at the UW knew it was a great story, but now the whole world knows about it,” says Men’s Rowing Head Coach Michael Callahan, who himself rowed for Washington from 1992 to 1996. “Trust, teamwork and perseverance — legendary UW rowing team gures Ulbrickson, Bolles and Pocock taught those values then, and we teach them today.”“The Boys in the Boat’’ is set to attract a broader audience as it steps into the limelight in a highly anticipated adaptation for the silver screen. Directed and co-produced by George Clooney and starring 32-year-old British actor Callum Turner (“Emma” and “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”) in the role of Joe Rantz, the movie is eagerly anticipated for its release December 25. A LEGACY TO PRESERVE: ENDOWING THE FUTURE OF WASHINGTON ROWINGTo celebrate the memory of that ’36 team and fuel the dreams of the next generation of rowers, “The Boys in the Boat” Endowment was established to provide nancial support for the operational costs of UW Men’s Rowing. Contributions will allow the program to continue to shape values-driven student-athletes who will make a positive impact on the world. “Trust, teamwork and perseverance are values that transcend time,” Coach Callahan emphasizes. “By supporting the Boys in the Boat Endowment, we are preserving the legacy of this historic program for future generations.”For those interested in directly supporting UW Women’s Rowing, the Title IX Legacy Endowment oers a way to support the operational costs of the women’s program. Started by a group of Washington women rowers from the ’70s, the endowment is named in honor of the landmark Title IX legislation that opened the door to equity for women in athletics, education and life.Both endowments provide a perpetual source of funding that will preserve the legacy of these historic programs and propel new generations towards success, both on and o the water. As the journey of these young Husky rowers unfolds on the big screen, their story will continue to resonate. Their spirit drives us to not only row forward but to create ripples of positive change in the world.Joe Rantz
RALLYING THROUGH CHANGES AND CHALLENGESASTRID OLSEN’S JOURNEY FROM NORWAY TO THE UWSoon after she arrived in 2019, COVID-19 did too, shutting down life and sport as she knew it. Astrid also battled an illness that limited her time on the court for her rst two tournament seasons.Despite all these changes and setbacks, she learned to trust the process and face these challenges with a positive attitude. “It was frustrating not being able to show my abilities,” Astrid shares. “I felt like I had more to give and learn.” With the support of her Pepperdine coaches, Astrid decided to transfer to the University of Washington, where she received a full schol-arship. “I wouldn’t be here studying and playing for the UW if it wasn’t for our donors. It’s a blessing that has changed my life in so many ways.”Despite still being unable to play after her transfer due to her illness, Astrid remained devoted to the sport by focusing on recovery and supporting the team in other ways.Robin Stephenson, Husky Women’s Tennis Head Coach, praised her remarkable contributions. “Astrid leads by example and always puts the team before herself. She knows what she wants and how she will get there.” It looked like her dedication would pay o in her sophomore year when she nally returned to the court for preseason play. However, Astrid’s plans took another unexpected turn when she discovered a fracture in her foot. The recovery process took longer than expected, causing yet another season to ow by.Many players would have called it quits, but not Astrid. Fully recovering from her illness, Astrid launched an impressive comeback in her junior season, securing victories in three consecutive matches against top-25 teams. Her contribution played a pivotal role in elevating the team to the Top-15 in Nationals. As a result, the Husky Women’s Tennis team made it to the NCAA tournament, with Astrid ranking 77th nationally in singles.With all her individual and team contributions and achievements, she earned the title of Pac-12 Women’s Tennis Player of the Week and All-Pac-12 Second Team. She also won the prestigious ITA Arthur Ashe Award for Leadership and Sportsmanship for exhibiting outstanding athletic and academic performance. Additionally, she was one of 17 student-athletes selected to represent Washington at the Black Student-Athlete Summit last spring.“I think that’s what happens when you do something you love and believe in,” she shares. “I’ve had great wins, but I think I’m most proud of staying on the same path and goal. I just trusted that my time would come.”Now, with her vision set on going pro after college, Astrid continues to bet on herself, ready to rally against any future changes or challenges.Astrid Olsen’s collegiate journey has been anything but easy. Her rst challenge came when she was recruited by Pepperdine University to play tennis. The move from Norway to the United States came with intense culture shock, language dierences and a much hotter climate. “When I migrated, there was a big dierence in lifestyle. Back in Norway we value resting and relaxing, but here everything’s always moving!” she shares. “I had challenges with language too. I learned that in the US, you should be a lot more mindful of communicating eectively and showing respect for authority.”8 | UW Tyee Club Gratitude Report
UWTYEECLUB.ORG | 9‘WE COULD NEVER GIVE BACK AS MUCH AS WE RECEIVE’TYLER AND GINGER BRANHAM SUPPORT HUSKY ATHLETICS AND THE UW TO PAY IT FORWARD TO NEW GENERATIONSWhen it came time for Tyler and Ginger Branham to purchase a home for their growing family, they insisted on a very important priority: it had to be close to the University of Washington. As Men’s Basketball and Football season ticket holders, staying close to the UW meant staying close to their connections and their tailgates with 15 other families which had become a way of life.“Football season gives shape to the year. We measure the passage of time by seeing how much our kids have grown from one season to the next,” says Tyler, a Microsoft account executive who earned an MBA from the UW Foster School in 2014 after eight years in the U.S. Navy. “It’s a joy to see these kids grow up in the shadow of Husky Stadium.”Ginger, a public defender, also feels deeply connected to the University despite not being an alum, noting that “it is such a critical part of the fabric of our lives”, which includes sons Henry, 11, and John, 8.Both of Tyler’s parents attended Washington. He spent his youth on Montlake, attended many exciting road games and watch-parties during his globe-trotting Navy years, and is now sharing that experience with his own family by attending lots of dierent UW sporting events.The tailgates are special. The group owns a trailer that remains stationed in the parking lot during the season. With friends old and new, the Branhams consider those joyful gatherings a highlight of their lives.The couple donate generously to Husky Athletics as Game Changers, supporting funding that provides essentials to student-athletes such as mental health services, innovative technology, team travel and more. Tyler also participates on the Tyee Club’s Sports Council, a broad-based volunteer group that supports the fundraising eorts of UW Athletics by providing feedback on annual campaigns, promoting fundraising initiatives and Tyee events, and acting as ambassador and vital connector to our fans and donors.“The University is in my DNA,” Tyler states. “We could never give back as much as we receive. We want to pass it on to the next generation and hope they can benet in the ways we’ve beneted from our involvement with Athletics and the UW. It’s about continuing the legacy and ensuring the UW thrives in the future.”
10 | UW Tyee Club Gratitude ReportADVANCED TECH KEEPS STUDENT-ATHLETES HEALTHY AND READY FOR COMPETITIONEverybody loves the thrill of game day: the breath-taking plays, the resounding echo of the nal buzzer and the electric energy of the crowd. As the excitement subsides, however, a dierent challenge takes center stage: helping student-athletes recover.At Washington, student-athletes’ holistic well-being is top priority, so they can excel in the classroom and in competition. Your generous contributions to The Competitive Edge Fund have enabled UW Athletics to adopt cutting-edge technologies to support student-athlete performance and recovery. Our close partnership with UW Medicine’s sport medicine team ensures our student-athletes have access to the best care around.BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION (BFR) REHABILITATIONThe sports medicine team has embraced the Del Personal Tourniquet System from Owens Recovery Science and Suji brand for BFR, the latter of which features app-based controls and Bluetooth connectivity for enhanced mobility and personalized recovery.Initially designed for treating combat injuries and strength training, BFR has gained traction in athlete recovery thanks to modern research. This therapy revives muscles and tendons using a tourniquet-like device to imitate the advantages of intense workouts without straining the joints commonly associated with traditional weightlifting.“Given the rigorous physical demands placed on college athletes, BFR has been a game changer for us,” says Michael Dillon, Associate Athletic Director for Health and Wellness. “Thanks to donor support, we’re able to use the same technologies Olympic athletes use. The impact on our student-athletes has been truly remarkable. With improved strength metrics and faster recovery time, our student-ath-letes can return to play stronger, with less downtime.” UW Football linebacker Drew Fowler echoes that positive sentiment, sharing, “BFR has helped me stay strong and healthy. I’ve been able to recover faster than I have in the past.” FIREFLYUW Athletics has also embraced the versatile Firey, a disposable, battery-powered neuromuscular device that is strapped near an athlete’s knee. By sending small electrical pulses to stimulate the nerve in the leg, the Firey creates a gentle foot “utter” that signicantly increases blood ow by up to 400%.Dillon highlights the benets Firey oers to student-athletes, saying, “This device has proven eective for post-injury recovery, reducing swelling, relieving muscle soreness and enhancing overall muscle performance.”Husky gymnast Thu Nguyen uses Firey throughout the season to ensure she recovers between meets. “We also use the devices on the plane during away trips. They allow me to not feel the negative impacts of travel and help me feel more prepared going into away meets.” GAME-CHANGING INNOVATIONS FOR STUDENT-ATHLETE RECOVERY
UWTYEECLUB.ORG | 11GAME-CHANGING INNOVATIONS FOR STUDENT-ATHLETE RECOVERYWith its portability, the Firey device can serve various purposes including warm-ups and muscle strengthening. Additionally, it oers personalized settings and individual controls which the user can adjust for varying degrees of intensity.Nguyen continues, “UW’s sports medicine sta keep me healthy, so I can continue to compete at the highest level.”THE FUTURE OF SPORT RECOVERYAs the world of athlete recovery and performance advances, UW Athletics is able to adopt the newest technologies thanks to support from donors like you. “Our team is always thinking of ways to keep our athletes healthy holistically and be the best on game day since so much is demanded of them each day,” explains Dillon. “We truly couldn’t do what we do without your generosity. Thank you!”

14 | UW Tyee Club Gratitude ReportUW MEN’S TRACK & FIELD TEAM SECURES HISTORIC WINS, PROVING THAT COLLABORATION AND DEDICATION CAN GET YOU ACROSS THE FINISH LINETRACK & FIELD CHASESLast season, eight members of UW Men’s Track & Field made history when they ran a mile under four minutes in the same race — not once, but twice. Joe Waskom, Brian Fay, Sam Ellis, Kieran Lumb, Aidan Ryan, Luke Houser, Aaron Ahl and Nathan Green’s remarkable performances at the UW Invitational in Boston led them to clinch the Pac-12 Championship, marking their rst outdoor conference title since 1928.“Our goal was to try to win a conference title and be one of the top-10 national teams,” shares Andy Powell, Head Coach of Track & Field and Cross Country.Men’s Track & Field certainly followed through with their goal this year. Aside from the overall team’s noteworthy performance at the conference, individual members achieved success as well, surpassing the program record of six individual titles from 1976. Some of those achievements included: • Fay won in both the 5,000 and 10,000-meter races. • Cass Elliott defended his 400-meter hurdles title.• Sam Ellis dominated the 800-meters event.• Nathan Green secured his rst Pac-12 1,500-meter title. • Ed Trippas also won rst place in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.• Ollie Thorner earned the top spot in the decathlon.Andy shares their winning strategy. “At the beginning of the year, we set academic and athletic goals,” he shares. “Our training sessions were excellent, with student-athletes continuing to set new personal bests.”
UWTYEECLUB.ORG | 15EXCELLENCEHis goal was to cultivate collaboration and alleviate the pressure from individual participants by transforming track from an individual sport to a team endeavor. “Individually and as a team we held each other accountable and focused on maintaining a positive mindset that ‘this is our year,’” he says.This strategy permeates all of Husky Track & Field / Cross Country thanks to the eorts of Maurica Powell, Director of Track & Field and Cross Country. Together, she and her husband, Andy, have created a culture of winning since arriving at Washington in 2018. As former student-athletes, Andy and Maurica understand the sport is as much a mental pursuit as a physical one. That’s why they put so much importance on creating a great student-athlete experience, one that’s supportive, that focuses on collaboration and working toward a common goal. “I’ve been part of various winning teams, but this championship is special, and the team is genuinely excited to win,” shares Andy proudly. He credited the team’s success to a fantastic relationship between the student-athletes and coaching sta and generous support from donors and alumni.The team’s extraordinary display of dedication on the eld last season secured them a permanent place in UW athletic history. “When you hear the team being called ‘the rst ever’ or ‘the best ever,’ it feels great,” says Andy Powell.
16 | UW Tyee Club Gratitude ReportTRIUMPHS IN FULL BLOOMAFTER IMPRESSIVE FALL AND WINTER SEASONS, OUR SPRING SPORTS TEAMS CONTINUED THE MOMENTUM LAST YEAR. HERE ARE A FEW HIGHLIGHTS:SOFTBALL: A WINNING SYMPHONYThe Softball team took center stage last season, with an overall record of 44-15 and a conference record of 16-8. The team’s triumphs were attributed to the collective eort of their talented players.Beyond the diamond, the team showcased their excellence in academics, with multiple players earning a spot on the 2023 Spring Academic Honor Roll.

The Women’s Rowing team nished second at the NCAA Championships — their best team result since winning the national title in 2017. Both teams demonstrated strong academic achievements, with 22 members from the Men’s team and 16 members from the Women’s team earning spots on the Pac-12’s Spring Academic Honor Roll. Additionally, the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) recognized 18 members of the Washington Men’s Rowing team on the All-Academic Team for the 2022–23 academic year.UW’s spring sports season was a true testament of dedication and commitment to our Husky student-athletes.

UWTYEECLUB.ORG | 17DRIVEN BY DREAMS TEDDY LIN’S INSPIRING JOURNEY TO GOLF GREATNESSAs a young golfer in Taiwan, Teddy Lin aspired to showcase his skills at an American university. Drawing inspiration from his icon, Pan Cheng-tsung (C.T. Pan), a UW legend who now competes as a professional golfer on the PGA Tour, Teddy dreamed of following in C.T.’s footsteps by attending the University of Washington. He poured his heart and soul into golf, becoming one of the most formidable junior players in Taiwan. His bright future garnered the attention of UW Men’s Golf Head Coach Alan Murray, who extended an oer to Teddy, granting his dream of becoming a Husky. However, transitioning from his hometown of New Taipei City to Montlake proved challenging at rst.“For most incoming students, the transition from high school to college is already hard enough with its own culture shock and diculties adjusting,” explains Murray. “Add in the pressure of being a college athlete, adjusting to life in a new country, and that transition is even harder, trying to balance schoolwork, competition, practices and travel.”Working with the support of tutors and academic sta, Teddy was able overcome the barriers he faced during that initial period of transition. Now as a senior, he’s thriving both on the course and in the classroom.“Along with being a standout athlete, Teddy is a standout student and individual,” says Kim Durand, the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Student Development. “He dreams big and works hard to achieve the goals that he sets for himself. Last year, he made the 2022 Pac-12 Academic Honor Roll for the rst time — an achievement he fought hard for.”On the course, Teddy’s star shines just as brightly. His sophomore year, he earned All-Pac-12 Second team and 2022 GCAA PING All-Region accolades, and last year as a junior, he placed 11th at the 2022–23 Husky Invitational and secured 8th place with a 3-under 213 at the 2021-22 Southwestern Invitational. His success is made possible by the generosity of donors who provide crucial academic support, scholarships, and operational support for Men’s Golf. “Donors have not only given me a great environment to achieve my dream, but they have also helped shape me into a better person,” explains Teddy, who is a scholarship recipient. “I am so grateful for their belief in me and support.” Set to graduate this spring from the highly competitive Foster School of Business with a degree in Finance, Teddy is ready to tackle his next big dream, playing on the PGA Tour like his icon C.T. For now, he’ll focus on making his last year as a Husky unforgettable, preparing to leave a lasting mark on the history of UW Men’s Golf.
18 | UW Tyee Club Gratitude ReportA CONVERSATION WITH THE NEW LEADER OF WASHINGTON’S BIG W CLUBFormer Husky Football player Justin Glenn (’13) brings a lifelong passion for the UW to his new position connecting letterwinners with their alma mater. Most recently Director of Player Development under Coach DeBoer, Justin brings his unique perspective as a former student-athlete and lifelong Husky to the role. What rst drew you to Washington?I was in middle school in Mukilteo when I started going to games with a friend and his family. We’d stop by Dick’s on 45th for burgers and then tailgate at Husky Stadium. I loved everything about the game day atmosphere and dreamed of becoming a Husky. I wanted to go to a world-class university like Washington but wouldn’t have been able to do so nancially without my scholarship from UW. It opened the door to opportunity for me.After nearly a decade with Husky Football in recruiting and player development, why did you take on the job of Director of the Big W Club and Engagement Programs?My roles with Husky Football fueled my passion for helping student-athletes not just on but o the eld. During my time playing and then working at UW I saw rsthand how important community was to the Husky experience. I want alumni from all 22 sports to be a part of this community forever.You’ll also be working with Boundless Futures. What lies ahead for that program?Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) opened up all of these amazing opportunities for student-athletes, but with that comes new complexities and the need for support. Boundless Futures educates and mentors current student-athletes so they can thoughtfully approach NIL as they prepare for life after college. I’ll be looking for even more strategic ways to engage alumni with Boundless Futures, too.What did you learn from playing Football that you hope your 13-year-old son, Julian, and newborn daughter, Aniyah, will learn from their athletic experiences?Life can throw a lot of adversity at you. Concentrate on controlling what you can, not worrying about what you can’t. You can control your attitude, your eort, the decisions you make, and those things will help you navigate life. Tell us something about yourself that people might not expect.I love to cook for Julian and my wife, Johanna (Carr, ’13), who ran track at Washington.
