Eastern Washington University Athletics

Eastern’s former police chief, in retirement Wallace has become an Eagle Athletic Association member and one of Eastern’s biggest supporters. He and his daughter, Chrissy, rarely miss any EWU games or events, and attend practices for most sports regularly. They greet and welcome players as they come and go at practice, with an especially endearing treatment of new students. Wallace has annually served as a “team member” for Eagle Athletic Association fund drives. Wallace retired from the United States Air Force in February of 1974 and started at EWU that October. After the death of his spouse in 1999, Vic and Chrissy began their passionate involvement with Eastern Athletics. In fact, during the two-month installation of the red Sprinturf surface at EWU’s Roos Field in 2010, they were on hand for all but one day to view the progress.
