Under the bright lights of Kidd Brewer or in the dome like Holmes Convocation Center during games or matches, App State athletes work at being the best at whatever they are doing and win.
But off the field, athletes are taking on a new task: getting people to vote.
App State Athletic Director Doug Gillin said getting feedback from athletes is very important for their department. Part of that is listening to what is important to them.
One of the key issues for athletes, Gillin said, was registering people to vote.
“A lot of our teams took it upon themselves, to make sure that they had 100% registration and a lot of them just took it upon themselves to spread the word,” Gillin said.
