Career
Foreign the Playboy Playmate, Brittany York please see Alison Armitage. York has three brothers and credits that to the reason she, "was such a big tomboy growing up". "I was very athletic and I always wanted to do boyish things.
I liked playing in the mud", York says about her childhood.
York played soccer and ran track at Colonial Heights Middle School and Eugene Ashley High School. According to York, "This was my first pageant and I had so many people say you don’t know what you’re doing, you"re not going to make top fifteen and it just made me want to work that much harder to show them that I could, to show myself that I could." Many pageant spectators felt that York was an unlikely candidate for the crown due to her lack of experience.
