PHOTO BY KEN MARTIN DEBBIE YOW NC STATE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Debbie Yow was named NC State's director of athlet- ics in the summer of 2010, but the Gibsonville, N.C., native has a history of going to Wolfpack games long before then. "My memories are not tied to a specific game or outcome. Rather, they are tied to the opportunities for years to come home and visit with my family, includ- ing my parents and older sister Kay, who faithfully attended games at Carter-Finley for 34 years sitting on the west side of the stadium."
