IanGraham23 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Andretti is one of the hardest working athletes ever to step foot on the campus of ORU. To see all of that work pay off, it couldn't have happened for a better, more humble person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
