“I come to the well of this great body to recognize the achievements of Chance Kretschmer, a freshman running back for the University of Nevada, Reno, Wolf Pack football team. Chance Kretschmer broke not only every Nevada football rushing record for number of yards, number of carries and number of touchdowns, but he is also the lead rusher in the NCAA. Born and raised in a small rural town, Tonopah, Nevada, the young football star joined the Wolf Pack football team as an unknown walk-on freshman. Now, not only are the UNR fans and coaches taking notice, but all of the college sports community is doing so as well. In his last game, Chance ran for an amazing 327 yards on 45 carries and scored an amazing six touchdowns leading the UNR to victory. And as only a freshman, this Nevada native certainly has an exciting future ahead of him. Congratulations, Chance Kretschmer, on your athletic accomplishments. You have made all of Nevada proud.”
