ÒWe are very happy to have Richard join our program. He comes from a great club program with an outstanding coach in Paul Yetter, who also coached Gopher sophomore Nico Zebley in high school. Paul also coaches United States Olympian and world record holder Katie Hoff. Richard is an outstanding student who scored a perfect 800 verbal score on the SAT and exemplifies exactly what we look for in a student-athlete. Last year we had 25 of our 34 student-athletes post a 3.0 GPA or higher and Richard will fit in perfectly academically. He plans to major in engineering and chose Minnesota in part because of our outstanding engineering program.Ó - Bill Tramel
