Interesting Career Post-Stanford Football - BigEasyCard - 06-05-2015
http://www.wired.com/2015/06/how-nascar-pit-stops-work/
Papathanassiou (a Greek from New Jersey, they call him Andy Papa in the South), a former Stanford football player, joined Hendrick Motorsports 23 years ago. He brought an athletes mentality to a job long considered an incidental part of being a mechanicsomething done quickly, but with little thought.

Andy accepted a football scholarship to Stanford University. He chose Stanford because it combined an unparalleled education with Division I athletics. He competed in both football and track, earned an undergraduate degree in Economics and a masters degree in Organizational Behavior, while at the same time excelling on the gridiron. He started in 45 out of 45 football games as an offensive lineman. In track, he was a Junior-Nationals champion and qualified for the PAC-10 track and field championship finals, for three years.
Geaux Cardinal!

I met him. I was in school, doing a story on two football players from Freehold for an assignment (which was published in a horribly abbreviated form in the local weekly). Andy lived in Governor's Corner is the same suite as the two other NJ players. I also hung out with him at the Bruce Jenner Classic at San Jose City College. Nice guy.

Now renamed the Caitlyn Jenner Classic?
Re: Interesting Career Post-Stanford Football - yvonne - 06-05-2015
No, Caitlyn Jenner was not around at the time of the meet, and I'm not sure whether the meet, which was named after an Olympic Decathlete, still exists.

I used to follow track and field pretty closely (ran in high school) and I seem to recall that the Jenner track meet at San Jose City College ran for about two decades, and stopped around 1997 when Bert Bonanno couldn't find a title sponsor.
