University of Notre Dame

When Father Edward F. Sorin started his school in the northern Indiana wilderness, he had only $300, three log buildings badly in need of repair and a far-sighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to meet the growing

educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of building a great uni-versity, and in 1842, he founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac.

Over the years, the University of Notre Dame du Lac would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame has also been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of synthetic rubber. Today researchers are achieving breakthroughs in astrophysics, radiation chemistry, environmental sciences, tropical disease transmission, cancer, robotics, and nanoelectronics.

The University has also stressed residential life, with four-of-five students living on campus in the school’s 29 residence halls that serve as the focal point of social, spiritual and athletic activities. Notre Dame is one of a handful of universities with a truly interna-tional student body, coming from over 100 nations and all 50 states. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Fr. Sorin.

Notre Dame is one of the few universities to regularly rank in the top 25 in the U.S. News & World Report survey of America’s best colleges and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup standings of the best overall athletics

programs. The University ranks first among all Catholic universities worldwide, according to the 2011 Times Higher Education survey and the Mendoza College of Business at Notre Dame boasts the No. 1 undergraduate business program in the nation according to BusinessWeek magazine.


University Leadership

Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., is in his second five-year term as the 17th president of the University of Notre Dame. His vision is for Notre Dame to be the Catholic research university for our time –

an institution that unifies, enlightens and heals by engaging in scholarship of the first rank while maintaining its distinctive Catholic character and long-time excel-lence in undergraduate education.

During his tenure, Notre Dame has made significant progress toward its research goal, including selection as the lead partner in the Midwest Institute for Nanoelectronics Discovery, the creation of the Innovation Park research facility, and the construction of Stinson Remick Hall of Engineering.

His commitment to undergraduate education has been marked by the Notre Dame Forums, yearlong initia-tives that have examined important issues such as religion and world conflict, global health, immigration and energy.

Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C.President

The University’s Catholic identity has been strengthened during Father Jenkins’ tenure in multiple ways, including the appointment of

a coordinator for University life initiatives and the construction of multimillion-dollar facilities for the Institute for Church Life, including the Center for Social Concerns, and the Institute for Educational Initiatives, which includes the Alliance for Catholic Education.

Father Jenkins earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in philosophy from Notre Dame in 1976 and 1978, respectively, and was ordained a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross in 1983. He holds advanced degrees from Oxford and the Jesuit School of Theology. He is a professor of philosophy and the author of Knowledge and Faith in

Jack SwarbrickVice President and Director of Athletics

President Leadership Council


John B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate who rose to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant and exec-utive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries, is in his fourth year as vice president and director of athletics at his alma mater.

Among Swarbrick’s athletics initiatives are meeting the perfor-mance needs of Notre Dame student-athletes through establishment of a new sports performance division, reaching out to more former Irish student-athletes via the Notre Dame Monogram Club and other programs, utilizing emerging digital technologies to deliver bet-ter information on and access to Notre Dame athletic programs via expanded production and distribu-tion of programming, and restruc-turing Notre Dame’s approach to sport administration through assignment of a unique adminis-trator to each of the 26 Irish sports.

Notre Dame ranked num-ber one in the country (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the three most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) surveys – in 2010 and 2009 with 99 scores (including in ‘09 a 97 score and ’10 a 96 in football that both also ranked number one). The 2009 Academic Progress Rate (APR) statistics included more per-fect 1,000 scores by Irish teams (nine) than by any other FBS institution. The 2010 Notre Dame APR report featured eight perfect 1,000 scores.

The past three years combined in Notre Dame athletics have featured 94 All-Americans, 19 Academic All-America selec-tions and five NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship winners; record involvement in community service hours by Irish student-athletes; NCAA titles in 2011 in men’s and women’s fencing (a combined championship) and in 2010 in women’s soccer (with Randy Waldrum named coach of the year); NCAA runner-up team finishes in 2011 women’s basketball, 2010 men’s lacrosse, 2009 fencing and 2008 women’s soccer; NCAA semifinal appearances in 2011 hockey, 2009 and 2010 women’s tennis and 2009 women’s soccer, plus a 2010 third-place fencing finish; a men’s basket-ball modern program record 27 victories and a number-two NCAA seed (its highest in 30 years) in 2010-11 (resulting in national coach of the year awards for Mike Brey); the hiring of new Irish head football coach Brian Kelly to start the 2010 season; construction of a new, freestanding ice hockey arena, scheduled to open for the 2011-12 season, plus the 2009-10 dedications of new facilities for soccer and lacrosse – as well

as opening of the new Purcell Pavilion within the south dome of the Joyce Center.

Born in Yonkers, N.Y., and raised in Yonkers and Bloomington, Ind., Swarbrick is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Upon graduating from Stanford University Law School in 1980, he returned to Indiana to accept a position as an associate in the Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels. He made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years overall with the firm.

As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick led many of the city’s suc-cessful proposals to a wide array of athletics organizations – from the National Football League to the United States Olympic Committee to the Big Ten Conference. His lead-ership efforts resulted in the city earning the right to play host to the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium; becoming the home of the National Collegiate Athletic Association national head-quarters in 1999; hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, 1991 World Gymnastics Championships, NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours and other college championship compe-titions and an array of national and world championships in Olympic sports.

At Baker & Daniels, Swarbrick served as general counsel for numerous national gov-erning bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics and USRowing, and as a con-sultant to the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.

In his work as an advisor to the NCAA, Swarbrick coordinated the men’s College Basketball Partnership, an NCAA-led group that addresses the opportunities and chal-

lenges in the sport, and developed the business plan for the new NBA/NCAA youth basketball enterprise, iHoops. In 2000 Swarbrick received one of the NCAA’s highest honors, The Flying Wedge Award, for his work in establishing Indianapolis as the new home of the NCAA. In 2001 the State of Indiana presented him with the Sagamore of the Wabash Award.

Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick was named Notre Dame’s 12th athletics director on July 16, 2008. He and his wife, Kimberly, are the parents of four children: Kate, a 2010 graduate of St. Louis University; Connor, a 2011 graduate of Wake Forest University; Cal, a sophomore at TCU; and Christopher, a University of Notre Dame freshman.

All-America Streak – Irish athletes have a proven record in national championship meets, as evidenced by their current line of All-America citations.

The Irish men’s track and field team have amassed 180 All-America scrolls since 1921, while the Notre Dame women’s track and field team has had 46 All-America performers since 1994.

All-American (Two Sports) – Former Irish great Raghib “Rocket” Ismail is part of an ex-clusive group of student-athletes who have combined All-America honors in track and field and another sport during their Notre Dame careers. Ismail was a two-time consen-sus first-team All-American in football (1989, 1990) and also earned All-America honors on the track as a sprinter in 1991.

The other members of this elite club are: Edward “Moose” Krause (football 1932; bas-ketball 1932-34), Dick Arrington (football 1965; wrestling 1966) and Bob Golic (football 1977-78; wrestling 1978-79).

Former high jumper and 2006 graduate Em-ily Loomis narrowly missed becoming the first female student-athlete in school history to join this group. She earned her first track All-America citation with a tie for eighth place in the outdoor high jump at the 2006 NCAA Championship, in addition to earning honorable mention All-America laurels in vol-leyball following the 2003 campaign. Techni-cally, Notre Dame has not considered honor-

Academic All-Americans – The 2006-07 season proved to be a banner one, both on the fields of competition and in the class-room, for the Notre Dame track and field/cross country program. The Irish had four student-athletes earn CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, led by middle distance run-ner Thomas Chamney, who was a first-team selection in 2007 after picking up third-team plaudits in ’06.

Chamney became the fifth Irish track and field athlete to be tabbed a two-time Aca-demic All-American and the fourth to earn first-team honors. The three-time All-Amer-ican on the track earned a bachelor’s degree from the College of Arts and Letters in 2007, graduating with a 3.56 cumulative grade point average in English.

Joining Chamney as 2007 Academic All-Americans were sprinter Maryann Erigha and distance harriers Sunni Olding and Todd Ptacek. The honors were the first for each athlete. Erigha was also awarded an Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar Award (first team) along with fellow sprinter Okechi Ogbuokiri (fourth team), and was a recipient of Notre Dame’s Byron V. Kanaley Award for exemplary scholarship and leadership among senior monogram winners.

Entering the 2012-13 season, the Irish cross country/track and field teams have had 29 Academic All-Americans.

able mention selections in its final count of All-Americans.

Aragon – Former Irish track and cross coun-try standout Dr. Chuck Aragon was presented with the Spirit of Notre Dame Award during the Notre Dame-Michigan football game in the fall of 1992. The award, sponsored by Maxwell House and General Foods, recog-nized Notre Dame athletes, past and present, who distinguished themselves in competi-tion, demonstrated the “Spirit of Notre Dame” and exhibited the ideals of the University. Aragon captained both the Notre Dame cross country and track teams during his career (1977-81) and was the first Irish sub-four-minute miler. An All-American and bronze medalist in the 1,500 meters at the Pan Am Games, he placed fourth at the 1984 Olympic Trials. Aragon, who completed his residency in anesthesiology, donated many hours to South Bend’s Logan Center while at Notre Dame. His daughters, Alexa, a junior, and Dani, a freshman, are members of the cross country and track and field teams.

Back to the Bend – Although the Irish won their only cross country national champion-ship in 1957, the bus ride home from East Lansing, Mich., was anything but a celebra-tion. In 26-degree weather, the Irish upset heavily-favored Michigan State, but when coach Alex Wilson added up the team’s score of 121 points, he felt the score was extremely high to contend for the title. As a result, he


Football Players – The Notre Dame football and track and field programs are two of the oldest varsity sports on the Irish campus. There have been a number of football stars who have crossed over to the track, or the field, and left an impression on the track and field program. Just a glance at the Notre Dame track and field record book shows the effect that football players have had on it. Raghib “Rocket” Ismail, who finished second in the Heisman Trophy balloting in 1990, holds the school record for the outdoor 100 meters and finished as an All-American in 1991.

Former Irish defensive back Allen Rossum currently holds the school record in the indoor 60 meters (6.68), former running back Randy Kinder has the indoor 200-meter record and former halfback Aubrey Lewis holds the top mark in the 400-meter hurdles (50.2).

Some football players who also earned monograms on the track include 1987 Heis-man Trophy winner Tim Brown, Jack Elder, Edward “Moose” Krause, Elmer Layden, Dean Lytle, Ryan Mihalko (the school-record holder in the javelin), Dwight Ellick, Terrail Lambert, Creighton Miller, Knute Rockne, George At-kinson III and Josh Atkinson.

In 2012, brothers George Atkinson III and Josh Atkinson and football teammate Ben-nett Jackson all ran for the Irish. George was named all-BIG EAST during the indoor season in the 200m dash, while both brothers com-peted at the NCAA East Preliminary Round.

Ghana – The impact of Notre Dame track can be felt around the world as evidenced by William P. Mahoney, an Irish alumnus who served as the U.S. ambassador to Ghana un-

and his team packed up and took the bus back to South Bend. About halfway home the stunning news came over the bus radio, Notre Dame had defeated Michigan State by six points.

Coaching Tree – Although it is one of Notre Dame’s oldest varsity programs (dating back to 1890), the Irish track and field team didn’t bring on its first coach until 1916, when Knute Rockne took the job. He held that po-sition until 1927, starting a trend of stability among Irish track coaches.

Current Notre Dame track and field coach Joe Piane is perhaps the best example of this, as he is in his 38th year at the helm of the Irish. Piane is the longest-tenured coach among active mentors at Notre Dame, with men’s swimming coach Tim Welsh next in line with his 28th season on tap in 2012-13.

Deeter – JoAnna Deeter ended her career as one of the best women’s cross country and track and field runners in Irish history. A native of Glen Ellyn, Ill., Deeter earned All-America status twice for cross country in 1996 and 1998 and three times in track and field, all in 1999. Included in her accomplishments were two then-school records - the indoor and outdoor 3,000 and the 10,000.

Fifth – One-fifth of a mile (approx. 320 me-ters) is the length of the Meyo Track, the larg-est collegiate indoor surface in the country and the home track for the Irish indoor teams. First opened in 1988, the track was named for Ray and Marie Meyo of Brecksville, Ohio, and is made of the Mondo track surface featuring six 42-inch lanes.

The Meyo Track has established itself as one of the fastest surfaces in the nation and welcomes a number of high-class athletes in a “last chance” meet (the Alex Wilson In-vitational) who are attempting to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championship. The Meyo Invitational, which features the “Meyo Mile” (a special race that features many of the top milers in the nation) and the Alex Wilson Invitational are fixtures on the Notre Dame indoor track and field schedule each season.

Track coach from 1927-1940, John P. Nicholson became an innovator in coaching technique purely by accident.

Two-time NCAA champion (’23 and ’24) Tom Lieb introduced the spinning throw delivery in the discus, which is still in use today.

Glossary


Loftus Center/Guglielmino Athletics Complex – Notre Dame first utilized the Loftus Center in October of 1987 and is enjoy-ing its 27th full season of use in 2012-13. The indoor facility is highlighted by Meyo Field, a Prestige Turf surface installed in 2003 that is shared with several Irish sports teams, in-cluding the football and lacrosse programs. The Loftus Center is connected to the Gug-lielmino Athletics Complex, which features the 25,000-square foot Haggar Fitness Cen-ter, a facility holding more than 250 pieces of weight training equipment, six plasma tele-visions and a state-of-the-art sound system. It also houses the 150-seat Isban Auditorium as well as plentiful meeting space.

Meyo Invitational – Four minutes, one mile. For years it was the unbreakable barrier and it remains among the most celebrated feats in all of sport. Folks that know the sport of track and field will tell you that 3:40 in the 1,500 or 7:55 in the 3,000 are just as impres-sive, but to the casual fan there is something about the simplicity of it; four laps, four min-utes, one mile.

In February 2013, the 27th annual Meyo Invi-tational will return to the Loftus Sports Center on Notre Dame’s campus with the marquee event at the meet being the Meyo Mile. In the past five seasons, six runners have broken the magical four-minute mark.

In 2003, Luke Watson won the race in school record time (3:57.83), moving into the lead a mere 30 meters from the finish line. After the dust had settled, the top five in the race were

he and two other doctors saw 1,100 patients in 10 days and he performed 35 eye surgeries – with Hurd and his colleagues increasingly in demand as their reputation grows.

Hurd’s days of distinction as a collegian in-cluded being named Notre Dame’s “athlete of the year” for 1967-68 and establishing the American indoor record in the 300-yard dash (29.8). He set eight Notre Dame records and totaled five All-America finishes at the 1968 and ‘69 NCAA meets.

He also was a finalist (top eight) at the Olym-pic Trials in the 100 and 200 meters, finishing fifth in the 100 to just miss a spot on the Olympic squad (his competitors included the likes of Jim Hines, John Carlos, Tommy Smith and Mel Gray).

Hurd, who added graduate degrees from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (mas-ter’s in management science) and Meaharry Medical School in Nashville, was a Rhodes Scholarship regional finalist and received Notre Dame’s Harvey Foster Award in 1992 (recognizing alumni for distinguished civic activity) and the NCAA’s prestigious Silver An-niversary Award in 1994 (recognizing career success and community service). He holds two U.S./foreign patents for optical devices, including a slit-lamp, mountable intraocular biometer.

Also an accomplished jazz musician, Hurd completed work on his fourth CD, in which he plays the saxophone and flute.

Hurd and his wife Rhynette, an attorney, have sent both of their sons to Notre Dame. One of his sons, Ryan, was a four-year monogram winner on the Irish track and field team from 2001-04.

Jinx – Although Irish great Greg Rice is wide-ly regarded as one of the best distance run-ners of all-time, his coach only saw him race once during his Notre Dame career. Coach John Nicholson superstitiously felt he jinxed Rice during races and therefore stayed in South Bend while Rice traveled to meets. The only race Nicholson saw was perhaps one of Rice’s finest as he outdueled Taisto Maki and Don Lash to win a three-mile race in 13:52.2. Unfortunately, the race would also be Nich-olson’s last as the coach died two days later from complications of a heart attack that he suffered just hours before the competition.

Lieb – Tom Lieb, an Irish discus thrower in the early 20’s, is credited with introducing the spin-style delivery to the sport, a style which is still used today. Lieb won the NCAA title in the event during the 1923 and 1924 seasons.

der the Kennedy Administration. A sprinter for coach John Nicholson, Mahoney took over the coaching duties when Nicholson died in 1940. Mahoney guided the team to an unof-ficial victory in the Drake Relays before he entered the Navy in 1942.

Golden Anniversary – The 2005 season marked the 50th running of the Notre Dame Invitational cross country meet, one of the nation’s oldest and largest intercollegiate races. The invitational was started by former Irish head coach Alex Wilson in 1956 as a four-mile race, extended to five miles in 1968 and a women’s competition added in 1987.

Heisman – Achieving success on both the track and the football field was the trade-mark of former Irish runners Tim Brown and Raghib “Rocket” Ismail. Brown won the 1987 Heisman Trophy in addition to running with the track team during the offseason. Brown owned the school record in the 55 meters un-til 1990 when ‘90 Heisman runner-up Ismail ran 6.07 in the event, and eventually went on to earn track All-America honors by finishing second in the 1991 NCAA indoor 55 meters.

Hurd – Dr. Bill Hurd was honored in 2002 at the annual Notre Dame Monogram Club dinner with the Moose Krause Distinguished Service Award, the highest honor presented by the Monogram Club. A world-class sprinter and 1969 Notre Dame graduate with a de-gree in electrical engineering, Hurd now is a noted eye surgeon, with an ophthalmology practice in Memphis that specializes in cata-ract, glaucoma and diabetic treatment and keratorefractive surgery.

Hurd annually spends 2-3 weeks providing voluntary eye surgery to the poor in Africa, Mexico and Brazil. On one trip to Madagascar,

John P. Nicholson was one of track and field’s greatest innovators in the late 20’s and early 30’s. Here he is pictured with Irish distance great Greg Rice, plotting out the All-American’s next race.

Luke Watson pulled ahead in the final 30 meters and won a heartstopping Meyo Mile in 2003, hitting the tape in a school-record time of 3:57.83.


block caught on in the late 1920s and was well-received by the track community.

“You have a device which will materially make short distance, hurdle and relay racing more popular with both the public and ath-letes,” wrote former Illinois coach Harry Gill in a 1929 letter. “It appears to be a real help to track athletics.”

John Griffith, former chairman of the NCAA track and field rules committee and commis-sioner of the Big Ten Conference, was equally impressed in a letter written the same year.

“I have studied the pictures of your new start-ing device with a great deal of interest, and am of the opinion that you have made a dis-tinct contribution to track athletics.”

Sub-four – Jake Watson made history on June 2, 2007, at the Music City Distance Carnival (Nashville, Tenn.). It was there that he ran 3:59.4 over one mile, breaking the elusive four-minute barrier, but even more notably, joined his older brother Luke as just the second pair of brothers in American his-tory to run sub-four minute miles. Luke, an Irish distance running legend and former as-sistant coach, first broke the barrier indoors at the 2002 Meyo Invitational. Jake performed the feat after earning his first career All-America honors during the 2007 track and field season. The Watsons (Stillwater, Minn.) join twins Sean and John Jefferson who both broke four minutes in the 2005 Meyo Mile.

Varsity – While the men’s track and field and cross country teams are two of the old-est teams at Notre Dame, dating back to the 19th century, the women’s program is only in its infancy, relatively, as the cross country team began in 1980, while the track and field squad first competed in 1991.

each in under four minutes, each within a half second of the others and each owned one of the five fastest times in the world that year.

The 2005 race turned out to be just as thrill-ing, with four runners breaking the four-minute barrier, including a pair of Notre Dame athletes (Watson, running unattached, and sophomore Kurt Benninger). All four sub-four minute runners earned automatic qualification to the NCAA Indoor Champion-ship and Benninger’s time of 3:58.75 put him less than a second off Watson’s school-record mark of two years earlier. Notably, Indiana’s Sean and John Jefferson also became the first American brothers to run sub-four minute miles.

Jeremy Rae etched his name in Irish lore in 2011 and 12, as he went sub-4:00 both years in earning a pair of Meyo Mile titles. In 2012, Rae overcame a remarkable deficit over the last 200 meters to pick up the win.

The Invitational, as well as the Meyo Mile, are the brainchild of Irish head track and field coach Joe Piane. When the Loftus Center was built, Notre Dame installed a track that was oversized (one-fifth of a mile, or ap-proximately 320 meters) and topped with a Mondo surface, which produced a rare and very fast combination.

Piane recounted the invention of the Invita-tional: “We put the meet together because it was a huge track and it was attractive to just give it a try. The name comes from Ray Meyo, who donated everything, and we decided to highlight the mile because even the average person knows that a sub-four-minute mile is very good, so we put together a ‘four minute challenge’ knowing that if the race did go un-der four minutes, everyone was going to say, ‘Wow! This is really something.’ ”

The Meyo Mile, however will not be the only great event on the weekend. The Meyo Invi-tational is always packed with outstanding performances from start to finish. Through the years, numerous track and school records have been shattered. In fact, six meet records and three track marks went by the boards during the 2007 meet alone.

National Champions – Irish track and field performers have secured 18 national track titles during the program’s history, in addi-tion to the two individual crowns and one team championship in cross country. The most recent track champion was the men’s indoor distance medley relay team in 2012, who used a strong kick from Jeremy Rae to take the crown in Nampa, Idaho.

Greg Rice (1938) and Oliver Hunter (1942) were individual cross country champions, while coach Alex Wilson’s 1957 squad won the NCAA cross country national champion-ship.

Pioneer – Harry M. Jewett was the first rec-ognized Notre Dame track and field athlete, making his debut in 1890 at a relay invita-tional in Ann Arbor, Mich. The school was next represented in 1898 and the Irish have competed in every year since then with the exception of 1906.

Rockne – The name that has become syn-onymous with Notre Dame football also was involved in the Irish track scene. After a difficult freshman year as a reserve on the varsity football team, Knute Rockne turned his attention to track where he earned a monogram and, as legend has it, once broke the world record in the indoor pole vault with his best effort of 12-4, but held it for such a brief period that he never received official recognition for it. Rockne became the University’s first track coach in 1916 and the first cross country mentor in 1920. During his tenure, Rockne guided five Olympians and two Olympic medalists. The coach resigned his track responsibilities in 1928 to devote his energy to football until his death in 1931.

Roof Top Coaching – Injured by a wild dis-cus throw, John Nicholson (Irish track coach from 1927-40) sat on the roof of a car and shouted instructions to his runners through a megaphone during training. The method proved so effective that Nicholson made the car a regular part of his training regimen.

Starting Blocks – John Nicholson bestowed upon the track world perhaps his greatest innovation, the starting block. His starting

Notre Dame’s Greg Rice (second from left) is considered by many to be the greatest distance runner in U.S. history. The 1940 Sullivan Award winner, Rice went undefeated in 65 major indoor and outdoor races over a three-year span, setting 10 world records in six different events. He also was an All-American in the two-mile race, winning the NCAA title in 1937 and 1939 and finishing second in 1938.


Track and Field Legends

ALEx WILSON

All-American 1930-32 Irish Track Coach 1950-72

A middle-distance track star at Notre Dame, Alex Wilson is a perfect example of an outstanding athlete and legendary coach.

While at Notre Dame, Wilson was undefeated in the quarter- and half-mile events and set a national indoor record of 49.3 for the 440 in 1932. He set records in both the 440 and 880 races. Wilson also won the Amateur Athletic Union 600 and twice captured the Milrose 600.

In 1928 and 1932, he competed in the Olympics for his native Canada and won a silver in the 800-meter race and a bronze in the 400-meter run in 1932.

In 1950, after 18 years as a success-ful track and swimming coach at Loyola (Ill.), he returned to coach at Notre Dame. During his 23 years with the Irish, his teams finished in the national top-10 11 times. Wilson guided three track national champions, 28 track and eight cross country All-Americans and led the Irish to the cross country national championship in 1957. His teams appeared in the meet a total of 18 times.

He was voted into the Canadian Track Hall of Fame in 1954 and in 1967 he was elected to the Helms Athletic Foundation Hall of Fame for his contri-butions as a track coach in the United States. In December 2008, Wilson was inducted into the U.S. Track and field and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

Wilson was also honored as national coach of the year by the NCAA Cross Country Coaches Association in 1972, and an indoor track and field meet is held in his honor each year at Notre Dame.

Wilson died Dec. 10, 1994, at the age of 87.

RICK WOHLHUTERAll-American 1969-70

U.S. Olympian Sullivan Award Winner

Rick Wohlhuter, a two-time Olympian and 1971 Notre Dame gradu-ate, was selected to the Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1991. Winner of an Olympic bronze medal in the 800 meters in 1976, he holds the distinction of being the last man to qualify for the Games in both the 800 - and 1,500-meter events. Wohlhuter won the IC4A 880-yard title in 1971 and qualified for the Olympics in 1972.

In addition to his appearance in the Games, Wohlhuter broke the U.S. 800-meter record twice and twice set world records for the 880-yard race. He also set the world record for the 1,000 meters in 1974 and won the event the next three indoor seasons. Wohlhuter also won national outdoor titles in 1973 and ’74. In 1974 he earned the Sullivan Award as the nation’s top amateur ath-lete.

A 1970 NCAA champion in the 600-yard event, the two-time All-American was also a member of Notre Dame’s two-mile relay team which placed sec-ond in the nation in 1969.

Wohlhuter joined John Beatty, the first man to break the four-minute mile indoors, high jumper Charles Dumas, a 1956 gold medalist and first jumper to clear seven feet, and Doris Brown-Heritage, winner of 14 U.S. distance titles and five world cross country championships, as the 1991 Track and Field Hall of Fame inductees.

J. GREGORY RICE

All-American 1937-39 Sullivan Award Winner

Greg Rice, billed as the greatest distance runner the United States has ever produced, was presented with the 1940 Sullivan Award as the nation’s top amateur athlete after he set a world three-mile record at the national cham-pionships. Named “the Little Man with a Big Finish,” Rice smashed the world three-mile record with a time of 13:51. He earned All-America honors in the mile in 1937, and also received those honors in the two-mile as he won the event in 1937 and ’39 and placed sec-ond in 1938.

Rice was undefeated in 65 major indoor and outdoor races in just over three years with 10 world records in six different events. Rice became the first-ever cross country national champion in 1938 when he ran the four-mile course in 20:12.9 to lead the Irish to a second-place team finish.

Born in 1916, Rice died in May of 1991.

NICHOLAS SPARKS

Monogram Winner 1987-88

Best-selling author Nicholas Sparks graduated in 1988 and was a two-time monogram winner in track and field. At Notre Dame, Sparks was a member of the 4x800-meter relay team, which still holds the outdoor school record.

After pursuing a variety of jobs after graduation, he wrote his first pub-lished novel entitled “The Notebook,” which was released in 1996. It became one of only five novels published in the past 35 years that spent more than a year on the New York Times hardcover best seller list, and was eventually made into a movie in 2004 starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.

His second novel, “Message in a Bottle,” was published in 1998 and remained a bestseller for 43 weeks. The film version, starring Kevin Costner, Paul Newman and Robin Wright Penn, opened at number one at the box office and grossed more than $100 million.

His third novel, “A Walk to Remember,” was published in October 1999 and turned into a movie in 2002 starring Mandy Moore.

In 2004, he was honored by Notre Dame with the first-ever Rev. Robert F. Griffin, C.S.C., Award, for establishing an initiative in the University’s Creative Writing Program that includes fellow-ships, internships and an annual Sparks Prize to support a student writer-in-residence.

Nicholas Sparks is married and has five children. He lives in New Bern, N.C., and still runs nine miles a day.


LUKE WATSON

Eight-Time All-American Six-Time BIG EAST Champion

Sub-Four Minute Mile

Enjoying one of the best careers in the history of Notre Dame track and field, Luke Watson competed in one of the most exciting moments in the his-tory of the track and field program.

In January of 2003, Watson broke one of the great barriers in sports, the four-minute mile, in front of one of the largest crowds to ever see a track meet at Notre Dame. Watson’s mile of 3:57.83 was the fastest collegiate indoor mile in the country in ’03 and was only the second sub-four-minute mile in school history.

In the ’03 season, Watson’s last with the Irish, he was honored as an All-American for the eighth time, including two for cross country, four for indoor track and two for outdoor track. He was also named an Academic All-American in both the ’02 and ’03 sea-sons.

Upon graduating, Watson had five top-10 finishes in the NCAA Championships, and two top-10 fin-ishes at the NCAA Championship for cross country. Additionally, Watson held six school records upon graduation – the indoor and outdoor mile, the 3,000-meter steeplechase, the indoor 3,000 meters, outdoor 5,000 meters and the distance medley relay.

Watson was also a force to be reck-oned with in the BIG EAST. During his career he was a six-time BIG EAST champion. He also led the 2003 Irish to BIG EAST Championships in both the indoor and outdoor seasons, the first time a Notre Dame team accomplished that feat.

MOLLY HUDDLE

Ten-Time All-American Seven-Time BIG EAST Champion

Molly Huddle graduated from Notre Dame in 2007 as one of the most decorated athletes in Irish sports his-tory. Huddle concluded her career at the 2007 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, finishing third in the 5,000-meter run to earn her tenth All-America selection, a record for the most All-America selections by a Notre Dame athlete in any sport.

Huddle’s other accolades include six BIG EAST track titles, the most by any Irish woman, and four NCAA Mideast Regional 5,000-meter titles.

She set records across the board by being the first woman in BIG EAST his-tory to win both the outdoor 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter race in back-to-back years as well as being named the BIG EAST Outstanding Outdoor Track Performer for two con-secutive seasons. Former sprinter Liz Grow is the only other Irish athlete to win the award, receiving the honor in 2002.

Huddle posted top-four finishes in each of her four NCAA 5,000m appear-ances, taking the runner-up spot in 2006. She currently holds four Irish school records (indoor 3,000m & 5,000m/outdoor 5,000m & 10,000m) as well as the BIG EAST meet record in the 10,000m.

Huddle’s success was not limited to the track. In her freshman season of cross country she was named the 2003 NCAA Great Lakes Regional Runner of the Year after her first-place perfor-mance. She earned All-America honors in 2002, 2003 and 2005.

Huddle, currently the American women’s record holder in the 5,000 meters, won the women’s 5,000-meter title at the 2011 USA Track and Field Championships in June and qualified for the 2012 London Olympic Games after finishing second in the 5,000m at the U.S. Olympic Trials.

TAMEISHA KING

Four-Time All-American Four-Time BIG EAST Champion

Tameisha King graduated from Notre Dame in 2003, and left the University as its top female long jumper.

King owns both the indoor and outdoor school records for the long jump, in addition to running in the school record 4x100-meter relay.

She was a four-time All-American, with three of those honors coming dur-ing the outdoor season, and one during the indoor season. Each of her All-America honors came in the long jump.

King had five top-10 finishes in the NCAA Championship as well as four BIG EAST Championships to her credit.

King also has a very impressive résumé outside of the collegiate spec-trum. In 2001, as a sophomore, she placed second in the long jump at National Junior Track and field Championship, and went on to finish among the top 10 at the World Junior Championship in Santiago, Chile.

King won the 2004 USA Track and Field indoor long jump title after finish-ing fourth in ’03. She also ended up sixth at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials and was the top finisher from the United States at the 2003 Pan American Games.

RYAN SHAY

Nine-Time All-American 2001 NCAA Champion

2003 USA Marathon Champion

A 2001 graduate, Ryan Shay became the USA Marathon Champion in 2003, continuing the championship ways of his collegiate years. Shay is the most decorated athlete in the history of Notre Dame track and field. A 2001 NCAA champion in the 10,000 meters, Shay was a nine-time All-American including two honors for cross country, two for indoor track and five for out-door track. His nine honors are the sec-ond-most in school history.

In 2002, a fifth year of eligibility, Shay was named an Academic All-American and had a second-place finish in the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Championship.

Shay was a nine-time BIG EAST champion in his years at Notre Dame, with one of those victories coming in cross country. He also had seven top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championships in various distance events including the 3,000, 5,000 and 10,000 meters.

In 2000, he competed for the right to represent the USA Track and field Team at the Olympic Games, finishing 10th in the Olympic Trials.

Upon graduation, he held school records in the indoor 5,000 meters, the outdoor 5,000 meters and the 10,000 meters.

Shay’s 2001 national champion-ship was the first outdoor champion-ship by a Notre Dame athlete since 1954.

Shay died unexpectedly on Nov. 3, 2007 during the running of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Marathon trials in New York City.

The 3,000m race at the Meyo Invitational was renamed the “Ryan Shay 3,000m run” in his honor.


LIz GROW

Four-Time All-American Three-Time BIG EAST

Champion

A four-time All-American and three-time BIG EAST Champion, Liz Grow graduated from Notre Dame in the spring of 2002.

During her time with the Irish, Grow was a standout 400m runner, earning All-America honors in the event during the 2001 and 2002 indoor seasons and during the 2002 outdoor season. She also ran a leg of the out-door 4x400m relay team that was tabbed All-Americans in 2002.

She finished eighth in the country in the indoor 400m during 2001, and bettered herself the next year with a fourth place showing. The 4x400m relay team took fifth in 2002.

In BIG EAST competition, Grow won the indoor 400m in 2000, and the outdoor 400m in 2001 and 2002.

At the time of graduation, Grow held both of the Notre Dame records in the 400m, including indoor (52.14) and outdoor (52.05).

KEVIN SCHIPPER

Two-Time All-American Six-Time BIG EAST Champion

Following in his older brother Matt’s footsteps, Kevin Schipper used a brilliant four-year career to cement himself as the best vaulter in Notre Dame and BIG EAST history.

Schipper won six BIG EAST titles, with all coming from his sophomore to senior years.

The Leo, Ind., native came on the heels of his older brother, Matt, who won three BIG EAST pole vault titles of his own. Between the two, a Schipper won nine of 10 titles from indoor 2008 to outdoor 2012.

A contender on the national level as well, Schipper earned All-America honors twice, once during outdoor 2010, and once during indoor 2012.

Schipper placed eighth in the event at the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Championships after clearing 5.30m. He added an indoor All-America scroll after placing fourth at the 2012 NCAA Indoor Championships with a vault of 5.45m. The vault tied a Notre Dame indoor record.

He also owned the outdoor record with a vault of 5.40m at the time he left Notre Dame.

Schipper graduated in the spring of 2012.

MARY SAxER

Two-Time All-American Three-Time BIG EAST

Champion

A 2009 graduate, Mary Saxer made a name for herself at Notre Dame and after graduation as an elite pole vaulter.

Saxer won three BIG EAST titles and was named an All-American twice dur-ing her time in the Irish blue and gold.

Saxer’s BIG EAST titles all came in a row, as she claimed the outdoor titles in 2008 and 2009, and the indoor title in 2009.

She earned her All-America scrolls in 2009 after she finished ninth during the indoor season and third during the outdoor season.

Saxer held both Notre Dame records at the time of her graduation in the indoor (4.15m) and outdoor (4.30m).

Following graduation, Saxer has turned in an impressive pole vault career. She qualified for the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Feb. 2012 after finishing second with a vault of 4.62m at the U.S. Indoor Track and Field Championships.

Later in 2012, Saxer was named an alternate for the 2012 London Olympic Games after tying for third at the U.S. Olympic Trials, but did not make the Olympic team because of total misses.

Other top finishes through 2012 were a third place finish at the 2010 U.S. Outdoor National Championships and a third place showing at the Diamond League Meet in Shanghai.

TOM LIEB

Two-Time All-American Two-Time NCAA Champion

A two-time NCAA Champion in the discus, Tom Lieb won a bronze medal at the 1924 Paris Olympic Games.

A three-sport star at Notre Dame in track and field, football and hockey, Lieb won the discus at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 1922 and 1923, earning All-America honors each year, while monograming in 1922 and 1923.

Lieb broke the world record in the discus after the Olympics with a throw of 47.61m. Lieb won AAU discus titles in 1923 and 1924, and is credited with inventing the modern day spin tech-nique in the discus.

Away from the track, Lieb mono-gramed in football in 1921 and 1922, playing right tackle and wearing No. 35 for the Irish.

While in Notre Dame graduate school, Lieb helped coach the track and field, hockey and football teams. He was the head hockey coach from 1923-26, posting a 3-8-3 record, and he was the first assistant under head football coach Knute Rockne from 1924-25 and again in 1929, helping the Irish win a national title.

After leaving Notre Dame, he coached football at Wisconsin, Loyola Marymount (Calif.) and Florida, and was the head coach at the last two spots. At Florida he also served as the school’s athletics director.

After Florida, was an assistant foot-ball coach at the University of Alabama and served as the school’s head track and field coach from 1946-1951.

Lieb started Loyola’s hockey pro-gram, leading the team to four consec-utive Pacific Coast Intercollegiate League titles from 1935-38, posting a record of 38-3-2. He was inducted into the Loyola Marymount Hall of Fame in 1987.


Outfield Track & Field Facility

In June 2008 ground was broken for the construction of a new $3 million, nine-lane outdoor track complex, with the 2009-10 school year marking the first season of practice in the new facility for the Irish. The new track, located southeast of the Joyce Center, will even-

tually become a full complex as the school continues to raise money for the building of a $5 million stadium portion of the track, which will be used to play host to outdoor meets in the coming years.

The track meets IAAF guidelines and features the widest possible turns. One synthetic “D” zone is provided at the south end of the track. Throwing and jumping events are located in two directions, and a warm-up area can be found at one end of the track.

Lead gifts for the project came from an anonymous benefactor, as well as six named Notre Dame supporters: John Hatherly ‘82, who ran track for the Irish as a miler; Dr. Bob Harris ‘69, a chemistry major who played intramural football and has participated in Notre Dame’s Football Fantasy Camp; Dr. Jim Kerrigan ‘79, a Monogram winner for the Notre Dame track team; John Leahy ‘84, who continues the Leahy athletic legacy at Notre Dame; Mike Lukas ‘79 MA, whose daughter, Katherine, graduated from Notre Dame in 2012; and Rick Peltz, a South Bend/Indianapolis business man.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAMEFighting Irish

The men’s Distance Medley Relay team won a national championship in 2012 behind junior Jeremy Rae, senior Johnathan Shawel, senior Randall Babb and freshman Chris Giesting. The relay title was the first in school history.

Season Preview


Men’s & Women’s Cross Country PreviewsWomen’s Preview

Loads of talent return for the Irish as six of the seven runners that ran on the 6K course in Terre Haute will suit up in the blue and gold in 2012.

“The big expectation is for us to get better at the conference, regional and national levels,” said head coach Tim Connelly. “We have a lot of individuals that can help the team out this season, which is a good thing. It’s a great situation to have 10-13 runners that could fight for a spot in the top seven. It keeps practices spirited and the competition going. They know they have to work hard to keep their position.”

Senior Jessica Rydberg returns for the Irish after leading the squad in six of the seven races last season, including winning the National Catholic Championship 5K in September. She also earned all-Great Lakes Region honors after finishing 10th on the 6K course.

“Jessica had a good fall last year, but she can be better,” said Connelly. She was still trying to get fit after missing the entire 2010-11 year with injury. She goes out for every race and competes really hard, which helped lead to her success from a year ago. After a good summer, we are expecting her to be ahead of where she was last year.”

Fellow senior Rebecca Tracy returns as well for the Irish after an impressive track season that saw her earn second team All-America honors during the outdoor season in the 1,500 meters.

A trio of juniors return for Notre Dame as Alexa Aragon, Kelly Curran and McKinzie Schulz all turned in successful cross country and track seasons a year ago. Aragon ran at the NCAA East

Coming off a 2011 season where both the men’s and women’s cross country squads advanced to the NCAA Championships in Terre Haute, Ind., last November, big expectations surround both programs as many key veterans return for the 2012 season.

The men’s squad took fourth at the NCAA Great Lakes Regionals and 24th at nationals, while the women’s squad finished fifth at regionals and 22nd at nationals. Four of the seven runners that competed at nationals for the men return, with six of the seven returning for the women.

Both teams expect to sprinkle in newcomers to go along with the veterans, which should help lead to improvement at the conference, regional and national levels.

Men’s Preview

Despite losing three student-athletes that competed at the NCAA Championships last year in Jordan Carlson, Kelly Lynch and Joe Miller, the Irish men’s squad looks to have a young and potent team set to compete in 2012.

“We have a chance to be a better cross country team from a year ago despite losing Jordan, Kelly and Joe,” said head coach Joe Piane. “We have six to seven runners that didn’t compete last year or improved greatly during the track season that could make a difference during cross country this year.”

Set to lead the way for the team are a trio of seniors in Jeremy Rae, J.P. Malette and Johnathan Shawel. Rae, who was named both all-BIG EAST and all-region last year, won a national championship during the indoor season with the distance medley relay team. Malette has been a consistent runner in both cross

country and track during his time with the Irish, while Shawel overcame an injury that held him out for the entire 2011 cross country season to win a national title with Rae on the DMR team.

Also returning for Notre Dame is Martin Grady, Walter Schafer and DJ Thornton. Grady led the Irish in several races last season and earned all-BIG EAST and all-region accolades. Grady also finished second at the National Catholic Championships. Schafer competed in six of the seven races last season, turning in a fourth-place showing at the National Catholic Championships. Thornton is working on consistency, but showed flashes of being a key asset for the Irish, finishing fifth at the Crusader Invitational and seventh at the National Catholic Championships.

Other upperclassmen that could benefit the team are sophomore Jake Kildoo, senior Jeff MacMillan and sophomore Johnny Fuller. MacMillan and Fuller both improved during the track season, while Kildoo ran at the NACAC Cross Country Championships in Trinidad in March and at the IAAF World Junior Championships in Spain in June.

A trio of talented freshmen look to make an immediate splash for the Irish as well as Timothy Ball, Kevin Durham and Michael Clevenger all are getting their first taste of collegiate running this fall.

Ball was the New Jersey Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year for 2011, while Durham and Clevenger both had successful cross country and track seasons.

“We have 10-13 runners who could easily earn a spot in the top seven this year,” said Piane. “We are excited to get the season started and see how these individuals push each other to be better.”


several years with a trip to Valparaiso, Ind., for the Crusader Invitational on August 31.

Notre Dame then returns home to the Notre Dame Golf Course, where they will play host to two long-standing meets in the National Catholic Championships (Sept. 14) and the Notre Dame Invitational (Sept. 28).

The National Catholic Championships has been run every year since 1980 on the men’s side and 1984 on the women’s side.

A staple since 1956 on the men’s side and 1987 on the women’s side, the Notre Dame Invitational routinely welcomes in many of the nation’s elite programs.

The Irish head to Madison, Wis., on Oct. 12 for the Wisconsin Invitational. The trip to Wisconsin and the Thomas Zimmer Championship Course will offer the Irish an opportunity to scout out the site of the NCAA Great Lakes Regionals, which are scheduled for Nov. 9.

After a pair of training weeks, Notre Dame heads to the Bronx, N.Y., for the BIG EAST Championship. This year the races will take place at Van Cortlandt Park. Last year, both teams finished sixth, competing against several highly ranked teams.

If the two teams qualify for the NCAA Championships again, they will head to a new location for the first time in nine years, as the national meet heads to Louisville’s E.P. `Tom’ Sawyer State Park after eight years at Indiana State’s LaVern Gibson National Championship Cross Country Course. The men have advanced to nationals 21 out of the last 25 years, while the women have been nine out of the last 13 years.

Preliminary round during the outdoor track season and Curran led the team at the NCAA Championships last cross country season.

The lone sophomore with NCAA experience is Gabby Gonzales, who had a breakout freshman campaign that witnessed her earn all-region accolades in cross country and a spot at the NCAA East Preliminary round in the 10,000 meters during the outdoor track season.

“All six of those girls had really big improvements during the track season,” said Connelly. “To me the best way to have a great cross country season is to have a great track season and to build some momentum going into summer training.”

In addition to the returning six, several other upperclassmen look to make an impact.

Junior Meg Ryan returns after missing the entire 2011 cross country season with an injury. In 2010, Ryan won the National Catholic Championship race.

Sophomore Karen Lesiewicz looks to run in her first race for the Irish after missing all of 2011-12 with an injury. Connelly sees great potential in the Schaumburg, Ill., native now that she is healthy.

Fellow sophomore Emily Frydrych had a breakout track season, scoring points in the 1,000 meters at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships. She also ran well in the 800 and 1,500 meters during the outdoor season.

Connelly is also excited about his freshman class, led by 2011-12 Gatorade National Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year Molly Seidel. The Hartland, Wis., native was a four-time Wisconsin Cross Country Coaches Association First Team All-State selection, went undefeated as

a senior, and won her fourth consecutive Division 3 individual state title. She also won the National Foot Locker Cross Country Championships and the Foot Locker Midwest Regional Championships.

Also looking to make an immediate splash in cross country are Dani Aragon and Sydni Meunier. Aragon, who is the younger sister of Alexa, is a standout track competitor having competed in the 800 meters at the IAAF World Junior Championships in Barcelona, Spain, this summer.

Meunier has never run cross country but was a talented track athlete in high school and has already shown potential in practices this summer.

Overall the women’s team sports 24 runners, with three seniors, six juniors, seven sophomores and eight freshmen comprising the 24.

Gone is graduated senior captain Rachel Velarde, who competed at the NCAA Championships last year for the Irish.

Schedule

The squads will play host to a pair of annual meets and will compete in several elite national competitions in a Kour-meet regular season that gets underway on August 31.

In addition to the BIG EAST Championships, the NCAA Great Lakes Regionals and the NCAA Championships, the Irish have the possibility of competing in eight meets this season, with seven of them slated for a Friday running.

The Irish, who finished 22nd (women) and 24th (men) at the 2011 NCAA Championships, get their season underway as they have for the last

Cross Country Rosters


Grady, Jeff MacMillan and Walter Schafer and a trio of talented freshmen in Timothy Ball, Michael Clevenger and Kevin Durham.

RELAYS

The men’s relays return a large portion of their talented performers including three members of the national championship DMR team (Giesting, Babb, Rae).

For relay teams that competed at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships, three runners off the fifth place DMR team return (Kevin Byrne, Favorite and DJ Thornton), two members off the second place 4x800m relay team are back (Rae and Babb) and three members of the second place 4x400m relay team return (Dougherty, Feeney and Giesting).

For relay teams that competed during the outdoor BIG EAST meet, the 4x100m relay team that finished fourth brings back all four competitors (J. Atkinson, Feeney, Keith Mesidor and G. Atkinson III), the 4x400m relay team that took fifth returns three (Dougherty, Feeney and Giesting) and the 4x800m relay team that won the title returns three (Babb, Favorite and Rae).

The 4x400m relay team that qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships also returns three performers (Dougherty, Feeney and Giesting).

JUMPS

A solid group returns in the jumps paced by BIG EAST outdoor triple jump champion Logan Renwick. Renwick, who jumped 15.27m to win the title last year, also finished seventh in the long jump to score points in two events for the Irish. During the indoor season Renwick took sixth in the triple jump and 11th in the long jump.

Mesidor returns after finishing sixth during the league indoor meet and fifth at the league outdoor meet in the long jump.

Following the graduation of older brother Kevin, who was a two-time All-American and six-time BIG EAST champion, younger brother David looks to carry on the Schipper pole vault legacy as he returns for his sophomore year. The younger Schipper finished eighth at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships to earn one point for the Irish.

Looking to also help Notre Dame in the vault is sophomore Patrick Krach and senior Dean Odegard.

High expectations surround the Notre Dame track and field program entering the 2012-13 season as each team looks to build on the success that they enjoyed in 2011-12, both in the BIG EAST and nationally.

The men’s squad won both conference crowns, while the women’s team showed marked improvement in league play, finishing fourth during the indoor season and second during the outdoor season.

Nationally the teams sent two individuals and a relay to the NCAA Indoor Championships, earning All-America honors in all three events, while 14 student-athletes competed at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, with Rebecca Tracy earning second team All-America honors in the 1,500m run.

MEN’S TRACK AND FIELD

Coming off a BIG EAST sweep at both the indoor and outdoor championships in 2012, the Notre Dame men’s team is looking for a repeat in 2013. A load of talent returns for the Irish as nine of the 12 all-conference performers from the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships are back for the 2013 season. In addition, four competitors that competed at the NCAA Outdoor Championships are back as are three of the four runners from the national championship distance medley relay team.

SPRINTS / HURDLES

Leading the way for the Irish are all-everything sprinters junior Patrick Feeney and sophomore Chris Giesting.

Feeney, who is a three-time BIG EAST champion in the 400m (two indoor, one outdoor), won three all-BIG EAST scrolls last year and advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 400m and the 4x400m relay.

Giesting won a national championship with the distance medley relay team at the NCAA Indoor Championships and was named the BIG EAST’s Most Outstanding Track Performer after winning the 200 and 400m races at the conference’s outdoor championship. Giesting also ran with the 4x400m relay team at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

Also returning for the Irish in the longer sprints is senior Brendan Dougherty, who earned all-BIG EAST honors in the 4x400m relay at the conference outdoor meet and ran with the relay team at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

In the short sprints, brothers George Atkinson III and Josh Atkinson return to the track team after another successful season with the Irish football squad. Last year despite very little training, the duo scored points for Notre Dame at both the BIG EAST Indoor and Outdoor Championships.

George earned all-BIG EAST honors in the 200m dash at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships and advanced to the NCAA East Preliminary Round in the 100m dash, while Josh qualified for the quarterfinals in the 100m dash at the NCAA East Preliminary Round.

Junior Jarrod Buchanon carries the hurdle baton for the Irish, having made the finals at both the BIG EAST Indoor (60m) and Outdoor (400m) Championships last season.

MIDDLE DISTANCE / DISTANCE

The Irish return a wealth of talent in the middle distance and distance events led by BIG EAST Champion and All-American Jeremy Rae. The Fort Erie, Ontario, native won the mile and the 1,500m run at BIG EAST last year and also ran a leg of the national championship DMR team.

Graduate student Randall Babb of the winning DMR team also returns after earning all-BIG EAST honors in the 800m run and in the 4x800m relay at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships.

During the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships Babb took seventh in the 800m run before earning a BIG EAST crown as part of the winning 4x800m relay team.

J.P. Malette, who finished fourth in the mile and 14th in the 3,000m run at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships, and Jack Favorite, who ran a leg of the BIG EAST champion 4x800m relay team, are two other valuable point scorers who return this season.

Other distance runners to keep an eye out for are Jake Kildoo, who finished 11th in the 10,000m run at the IAAF World Junior Championships, Patrick Lesiewicz, who took eighth at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships in the 5,000m run, proven veteran runners Johnny Fuller, Martin

Men’s & Women’s Track & Field Previews


Curran and McKinzie Schulz. Aragon and Curran both were a part of the 4x800m relay squads with Tracy and also scored in the mile, while Curran earned all-BIG EAST accolades in the 1,500m. Tracy, Aragon and Curran all qualified for the 1,500m run at the NCAA East Preliminary Round. Schulz, meanwhile, finished eighth in the 3,000m steeplechase at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships.

Sophomore Emily Frydrych returns after a fifth place finish in the 1,000m run at the conference indoor meet.

Talented freshmen Danielle Aragon, who qualified for the semifinals at the IAAF World Junior Championships, and Sydni Meunier look to provide key points for the Irish at the BIG EAST meets this year.

In the distance events Jessica Rydberg and Gabby Gonzales are back after scoring points for the Irish in the 10,000m and later qualifying for the NCAA East Preliminary Round in the event.

Notre Dame expects freshman Molly Seidel to immediately help out in the mile, 3,000 and 5,000m runs after being named the Gatorade Girls Cross Country National Runner of the Year last year as a senior in high school.

RELAYS

A load of talent returns for the Irish in the relays as very few performers off the BIG EAST teams were lost to graduation.

For the indoor season, the DMR team returns three of the four performers (Tracy, J. Barber and Curran) that finished fourth at BIG EAST, the 4x800m relay team returns all four performers (Curran, Aragon, Schulz and Tracy) that finished second at BIG EAST and the 4x400m relay team that finished fifth returns three of the four performers (J. Barber, Brown and K. Barber).

For the outdoor season, the winning 4x100m relay squad returns all four performers (K. Barber, J. Barber, Brown and Urssery), the 4x400m relay team returns all four runners (J. Barber, Brown, Yanik and K. Barber) that finished third and the 4x800m relay team that took second brings back three of the four performers (Curran, Aragon and Tracy).

The 4x400m relay team that then advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Championships returns three of the four runners (J. Barber, Brown and Yanik).

SPRINTS / HURDLES

Hurdles might be the strength of the women’s squad as the group is loaded with talent.

Sisters Jade (100m) and Kaila Barber (400m) return for their sophomore campaign after earning all-conference honors at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships. Kaila had a busy season as she advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 400m hurdles, won a bronze medal at the IAAF World Junior Championships in the 400m hurdles and broke the school record in the 60m hurdles.

Also returning is 2012 BIG EAST Indoor 60m hurdle champion Nevada Sorenson, who missed much of the outdoor season with injury, but rebounded to compete in the 100m hurdles at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships.

Junior Megan Yanik enters her third year with the Irish and is coming off an appearance at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 400m hurdles after finishing fourth in the event at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships.

Joining the stable of hurdlers this season is freshman Margaret Bamgbose, who ran the third fastest time in the country in the 300m hurdles as a senior in high school and finished second at state in the 200m dash. Bamgbose is expected to help out the team in the 200 and 400m dashes, the 400m hurdles and the 4x400m relay.

In the sprints, the Irish will rely on juniors Aijah Urssery and Michelle Brown. Urssery is coming off a spring season where she was all-BIG EAST in the 100m dash and the 4x100m relay at the conference outdoor meet, while Brown picked up a pair of all-conference scrolls in both the 4x100 and 4x400m relay teams. Brown also competed at the NCAA Outdoor Championships with the 4x400m relay team.

MIDDLE DISTANCE / DISTANCE

A loaded middle distance and distance group returns on the women’s side, paced by Tracy. The senior won the 1,500m run at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships before going on to finish 12th in the event at the NCAAs. She also earned all-BIG EAST honors in the 4x800m relay at the BIG EAST Indoor and Outdoor Championships.

Also returning in the middle distance events are juniors Alexa Aragon, Kelly

In the high jump sophomore Peter Sullivan, senior Ted Glasnow and Odegard could make a splash in BIG EAST competition this year.

THROWS

The Irish return three scorers from the BIG EAST Indoor Championships in Anthony Thomas, Andrew Brock and Jordan Stumph. Stumph and Thomas finished fifth and sixth, respectively, in the weight throw, while Brock took fourth in the shot put.

At the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships, Thomas and Brock both earned all-BIG EAST accolades. Thomas took third in the discus, while Brock claimed third in the shot put.

Finishing just on the border of scoring points in the discus was Dominick Padovano, who claimed 11th and was 11 ft. away from sixth place.

MULTI-EVENTS

The Irish return three standouts in the heptathlon and the decathlon as Ted Glasnow, Peter Sullivan and Dean Odegard all are back after scoring points for the Irish at BIG EAST meets during the 2012 season.

During the indoor heptathlon, Glasnow earned all-BIG EAST honors after taking third in the seven-event competition. Odegard wasn’t far behind as he took fifth to score four points.

At the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships Glasnow finished fourth in the decathlon, while Sullivan placed sixth to also score points for the Irish. Odegard finished just out of the points, taking ninth.

WOMEN’S TRACK AND FIELD

Coming off an impressive showing at the BIG EAST Indoor and Outdoor Championships last season, the women’s track and field team is poised to make a run at the title as five of the six all-BIG EAST performers from the indoor season and nine of the 10 all-BIG EAST standouts from the outdoor season are back in the Irish blue and gold this season.

Also back are six of the seven women that qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships, including second team All-American Rebecca Tracy (1,500m).

Men’s & Women’s Track & Field Preview


Indoor Championships, student-athletes must meet a qualifying standard that is set for each event. Last year the men’s distance medley relay team won the national championship, while pole vaulter Kevin Schipper and pentathlete Maddie Buttinger earned All-America honors in their respective events.

The outdoor season gets underway in Houston, Texas at the Victor Lopez Invitational (March 22-23). The following weekend the Irish head to a pair of meets in the Stanford Invitational (March 29-30) in Palo Alto, Calif., and the Oliver Nikilof Open (March 29-30) in Cincinnati, Ohio, to close out the month of March.

April is a full month of meets with the Michigan State Invitational opening the month (April 5-6), followed by the Louisville Border Battle on April 13. The next weekend sees the Irish compete in two separate meets, the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif., (April 18-19) and the Polytan Invitational in Bloomington, Ind., (April 18-21). The month closes out with the elite Drake Relays and the Hillsdale Gina Relays (April 26-27).

Rutgers will play host to the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships (May 4-6) in Piscataway, N.J. Last season the Irish men claimed their eighth team title, while the women finished second, an improvement of eight spots from the year before.

Following the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships, Notre Dame student-athletes will have one final opportunity to qualify for the NCAA East First Round, when they compete at the GVSU Last Chance Meet in Allendale, Mich., (May 10-11).

The NCAA East Preliminary Round will be held in Greensboro, N.C., (May 23-25) and will be hosted by North Carolina A&T. To qualify for the East Regionals, student-athletes must be in the top 40 in the East in their respective event.

Individuals that advance past the East Preliminary Round will compete at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Ore., (June 5-8). Last season 14 Notre Dame student-athletes qualified for the NCAA Championships, with Rebecca Tracy earning second team All-America honors in the 1,500m run.

JUMPS

Notre Dame has five pole vault performers with experience that are back for the Irish, highlighted by 2012 NCAA East Preliminary Round qualifier Kelly Burke. The junior scored points at both BIG EAST meets, finishing fourth at the indoor meet before tying for seventh at the outdoor meet.

Also returning after competing at the BIG EAST meets are junior Kathryn Barousse, graduate student Ann Polcari and sophomore Kayla Polcari and senior Chrissy Finkel.

In the long jump K. Barber paces the squad after finishing fourth at the BIG EAST indoor meet. Looking to help score points for the Irish is a group that includes Carly Loeffel, Lauren Leinart, Mary Esther Gourdin and Meghan Moore.

The triple jump has a trio of performers that are on the edge of breaking onto the BIG EAST scene in Gourdin, Burke and Jessie Christian. Gourdin took 10th last season at both the BIG EAST indoor and outdoor meets, while Christian and Burke took 15th and 16th, respectively, at the indoor meet. Burke also finished 11th in the event at the outdoor meet.

In the high jump Fiona Paladino, Loeffel and Kendra Jennings look to lead the way. Loeffel finished 11th at last season’s BIG EAST Outdoor Championships, while Jennings took 13th and Paladino 14th at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships.

THROWS

The Irish return a pair of point scorers from a year ago in Madeline Casanova and Emily Morris. Casanova finished seventh in the discus last year and Morris took seventh in the shot put at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships. Casanova was also on the border of scoring points in both the weight toss (10th) and shot put (9th) at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships.

Emily Kujawski and Vivien Devaney were also close to scoring points as each finished in the top 14 in a pair of events at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships.

MULTI-EVENTS

With the graduation of All-American Maddie Buttinger, the Irish have big shoes to fill in the pentathlon and the heptathlon, but the Irish expect Carly Loeffel and Meghan Moore to continue to show improvement.

During the indoor championships while Buttinger was on her way to another all-BIG EAST performance in the pentathlon, Loeffel quietly picked up a sixth-place finish to score three points for the Irish.

Later in the spring with Buttinger sidelined with injury during the heptathlon, Loeffel again finished sixth at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships while Moore took ninth, missing out on scoring for Notre Dame by just 10 points.

SCHEDULE

Four traditional home indoor meets highlight a 23-meet indoor and outdoor track and field schedule for the 2012-13 season.

The Meyo Track plays host to four meets during the indoor season including the Blue & Gold Invitational (Dec. 7), Notre Dame Invitational (Jan. 19), Meyo Invitational (Feb. 1-2) and Alex Wilson Invitational (March 1-2). The Meyo Invitational, including the famous Meyo Mile race, will be held for the 27th time.

The Blue & Gold Invitational is the lone meet in 2012, but the Irish open 2013 with three meets. Notre Dame opens the new year at Grand Valley State for the GVSU Holiday Open (Jan. 11-12). Following the Notre Dame Invitational (Jan. 19), the Irish head to Bloomington, Ind., for the Indiana Relays (Jan. 25-26).

The Meyo Invitational (Feb. 1-2) opens February and the GVSU Big Meet (Feb. 8-9) leads into the BIG EAST Indoor Championships (Feb. 16-17). The meet will be held in Geneva, Ohio at the 240,000-square-foot Spire Institute. Last year the Irish won the men’s title for the fifth time and took fourth in the women’s meet, a four-place jump from 2011.

The final two indoor meets of the season will be the Alex Wilson Invitational held at the Meyo Track (March 1-2) and the NCAA Indoor Championships (March 8-9), in Fayetteville, Ark. To qualify for the NCAA

A distance-coaching specialist, Piane is recog-nized across the nation as one of the best in the business. He has been named NCAA Division I National Cross Country Coach of the Year on two dif-ferent occasions (1987 and 2001) while garnering five district/regional coach-of-the-year honors and nine league cross country coach-of-the-year plaques. In total, Piane and his track and field staff have earned 16 BIG EAST Staff of the Year awards.

Individually, Piane and his assistants at Notre Dame produced six All-Americans in track and field in 2009 with three during the indoor season and three during the outdoor season. Mary Saxer became Notre Dame’s first-ever women’s pole vault All-American, earning her first All-America honor at the NCAA Indoor Championships. She earned her second All-America citation at the outdoor meet later that sea-son. Joanna Schultz earned her first All-America honor with an eighth-place finish in the 400 meters at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Jaclyn Espinoza finished third in the discus at the outdoor champion-ships to earn her first All-America recognition as well. Smyth earned his sixth and seventh All-America honors in 2009. His combined seven All-America honors are the third most in Irish men’s track and field/cross country history behind only Ryan Shay (nine) and Luke Watson (eight).

Piane’s success has not just been in the present, as three of his more successful pupils in recent years have been 10-time All-American Molly Huddle (2007), Shay (2001) and Watson (2002).

Piane’s record at Notre Dame speaks for itself. Just consider the accomplishments Notre Dame athletes have made under Piane’s watchful eye:

• Men’s cross country runners have earned All- American status 26 times, with Patrick Smyth taking home the honor in 2008.

• A Notre Dame men’s cross country runner has appeared at the NCAA Championship meet in each of the past 22 years, while the men’s team has made the trip 21 out of the past 28 years.

• The Notre Dame men’s cross country team has finished in the top-10 at the NCAA meet in 11 of the past 23 seasons, highlighted by third-place finishes in 1990 and 2005 (matching the program’s best show-ing since winning the 1957 NCAA title).

• The Irish men’s cross country team has won five BIG EAST Conference titles since joining the league in 1995, including crowns in 2004 and 2005. What’s more Notre Dame men’s runners have earned all-BIG EAST honors 44 times, with a school- record five run-ners receiving that distinction in ‘05.

• The Irish men’s track and field team has earned 82 All-America citations since 1974 (with Jonathan Shawel, Chris Giesting, Randall Babb and Jeremy Rae earning the honors in the distance medley relay and Kevin Schipper in the pole vault in 2012), while the women’s team has received 46 such accolades since 1994 (most recently Maddie Buttinger and Rebecca Tracy in 2012). Combined, Piane has helped mentor 128 track and field All-Americans (and 154 overall when including men’s cross country honorees) during his tenure.

• Both the Notre Dame men’s and women’s track and field teams were champions in 2007 with the Irish men taking the indoor title and the Irish women claiming their first outdoor team championship. The men also claimed the 2008 and 2009 BIG EAST out-door titles and the 2010 and 2012 BIG EAST indoor and outdoor titles. Overall the men’s team has won 13 BIG EAST titles (five indoor/eight outdoor), while the women’s squad has hoisted the hardware three times (two indoor/one outdoor). A model of consistency,

In 1889, track and field became the second var-sity sport in school history. Now, 123 seasons later, student-athletes continue to represent the Fighting Irish across the nation on the track, in the field and on the cross country course.

After a year as an assistant, Joe Piane has led the Irish for the last 37 campaigns and is the longest active tenured coach at Notre Dame. Piane begins his 38th season under the Golden Dome in the fall of 2012.

Piane’s tenure is now the second longest of any coach in Fighting Irish history, trailing only baseball coach Jake Kline’s 42 seasons (1934-75). His teams continue to compete at the highest level, as the men’s cross country team advanced to the NCAA Championships for the 21st time in 28 seasons in 2011. The squad placed 24th in the nation and saw Jordan Carlson, Jeremy Rae and Martin Grady earn all-Region honors.

The 2011-12 season also turned out to be a great one for the Irish on the track. The men’s squad saw Jonathan Shawel, Chris Giesting, Randall Babb and Jeremy Rae win the national championship and earn All-America honors in the distance medley relay at the NCAA Indoor Championships, marking the 22nd-consecutive season at least one men’s runner earned All-America status. Pole vaulter Kevin Schipper also earned All-America honors at the national indoor meet after finishing fourth. Notre Dame finished in 12th place with 15 points.

The Irish swept the BIG EAST indoor and outdoor championships, winning their fifth indoor crown and their eighth outdoor title. A total of 10 individual or relay titles helped Notre Dame cruise to victories at both meets.

On the women’s side, the program made great strides, placing fourth at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships, and second at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships after placing eighth during the indoor season and 10th during the outdoor season in 2011. The Irish won three individual or relay titles between the two meets.

Maddie Buttinger turned in an All-American performance at the NCAA Indoor Championships, placing third in the pentathlon to help the Irish to a tie for 38th place with six points. During the outdoor season, Rebecca Tracy was named second team All-America in the 1,500m at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

Piane began his impressive coaching career in 1970. Working for the Peace Corps, he coached track and field and cross country at both the regional and national levels in the North African country of Morocco. Piane guided a top-ranked junior cross country team, sending three runners to Cambridge, England, for the International Cross Country Championship (now known as the IAAF World Championship) in 1972, where Morocco finished third. Several of those Moroccan runners went on to compete at the 1972 Summer Games in Munich, Germany, and one advanced to the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal, Canada.

After returning to the United States in July 1972, Piane assisted the track and cross country programs at Western Illinois. During that time he earned a master’s degree in physical education.

Born Aug. 6, 1947, in Westchester, Ill., Piane joined the Notre Dame staff in 1974 as an assistant track coach and physical education instructor with plans to stay on for just one year. He was named head track and cross country coach the following season.

Piane and his wife, Mimi, reside in South Bend, with their son, Nick.

America honors in the indoor mile, indoor 3,000-meters and outdoor 5,000-meters as well as taking home BIG EAST Championships in the mile, 3,000-meter steeplechase and outdoor 5,000-meters. In the summer of 2006, Watson returned to his alma mater as a member of the Irish men’s distance/cross country coaching staff.

With Piane at the helm, the Notre Dame men’s cross country team has enjoyed six of its most suc-cessful seasons in the program’s history during the 2000’s. In 2000, Piane helped the Irish recover from the loss of Shay due to injury and earn a ninth-place finish at the NCAA Championship meet.

With Shay back on the team in `01, Notre Dame achieved its highest-ever national ranking (fourth), won the BIG EAST Championship (Piane and his staff earned the league’s Coaching Staff of the Year award) and ended up sixth at the national meet to give the Irish (at the time) their highest team finish since 1993.

In 2004, Notre Dame threatened to eclipse its best-ever ranking, as Piane deftly guided his charges from an unranked start all the way to a BIG EAST title and a No. 5 national ranking before placing 11th at the NCAA Championship. For his efforts, Piane and his aides garnered a second BIG EAST Men’s Cross Country Coaching Staff of the Year plaque. That set the stage for 2005’s successful run that culminated in Notre Dame’s return to the NCAA awards podium for the first time since 1990.

In 1985, Piane was named a member of the United States National Track staff. As such, he was one of 40 collegiate coaches given the opportunity to coach a United States squad in international competi-tion. During the summer of 1987 he did just that, guiding a team of American all-stars in meets held in England and Ireland. Upon the conclusion of the 1991 Notre Dame track season, Piane once again faced international competition as he was appointed coach of the U.S. Pan American juniors team for the games in Kingston, Jamaica.

Piane became Midwest regional chairman for United States Olympic Development in the area of track and field in 1984. Piane’s other Olympic prepa-ration experience came in `85 when he coached the North team in the National Sports Festival. He also coached the U.S. team against England in Birmingham, England.

Piane is the creator of Notre Dame’s National Catholic Championship, an annual meet held on campus since 1980. The Irish running program con-tinues to be a rapidly-growing entity thanks to Piane’s achievements. Continually searching for greater chal-lenges, he also founded the Meyo Invitational and the Alex Wilson Invitational, both traditional indoor Notre Dame track and field meets that invite in elite track and field athletes and teams from around the coun-try.

A 1969 graduate of Loras College, Piane ran both track and cross country for four years at the Dubuque, Iowa, institution. He captained Loras’ undefeated cross country squad as a senior, while excelling in middle distance events during the track season. He was inducted into the Loras College Athletics Hall of Fame in the fall of 2002.

Huddle finished her career under Piane with ten All-America certificates, a record for the most All-America selections by a Notre Dame athlete in any sport. The Elmira, N.Y., native had seven career BIG EAST championships, including back-to-back double victories in the 5,000-meters and the 10,000-meters in her last two seasons. Her seven championships are the most by any Irish woman and she joins former student-athlete Liz Grow as Notre Dame’s only ath-letes to be named the BIG EAST Outstanding Outdoor Track Performer in two consecutive years (2006, 2007). She currently holds four Irish school records (indoor 3,000-meters & 5,000-meters/outdoor 5,000-meters & 10,000-meters). Huddle made news in the summer of 2011, when she set an American women’s record in the 5,000 meters. In 2012 she qualified for the London Olympics in the 5,000m after finishing second at the U.S. Olympic Trials.

In 2001, Piane helped distance specialist Shay compile one of the greatest track seasons in Notre Dame history. The Central Lake, Mich., resident won the BIG EAST indoor 5,000-meters, the conference outdoor 5,000-meters and 10,000-meters and fin-ished off the season in legendary style by becoming Notre Dame’s first individual NCAA champion since 1972 by taking first place in the 10,000 meters (29:05.44) at the NCAA Outdoor Championship in Eugene, Ore. Shay moved on to become one of the best marathon runners in the country, winning five U.S. titles as well as USA Running Circuit (USARC) titles in 2003 and 2004. Tragically, Shay’s life was cut short as he died suddenly during the running of the 2008 U.S. Olympic marathon trials in New York City.

Shortly after helping steer Shay to the top of the college running mountain, Piane had similar success with Watson. Both men had set their sights on break-ing the four-minute mile barrier at the Meyo Invitational in 2002, hoping that Watson would become just the second Irish runner to crack the mark. Piane helped assemble an outstanding field for the race, which was arguably the highlight of the entire collegiate indoor season. Watson did his part, scorching past the field in the final straight away to win in 3:58.83, easily a school-record time and briefly the fastest mile run in the world during the indoor season. Watson eventually moved on to garner All-

Head Coachagain was dominant up front with four of the top 10 runners in the meet. The Irish then capped the 2005 season with a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Championship, highlighted by a program-best three All-America performances (Stephanie Madia, Huddle and Sunni Olding). In fact, Madia’s third-place finish and time of 19:48.4 were the best-ever by a Notre Dame woman, while Huddle joined Lauren King as the second three-time women’s cross country All-American in school history.

Moving indoors on the track for the 2005-06 season, Jacqueline Carter and Brianne Schmidt made excellent strides in the middle distances, notching school records in the 800- and 1,000-meter runs, respectively. Madia was strong at the longer dis-tances, peaking well late in the year with two of the top-four 5,000-meter times in school history before earning her second All-America honor with a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championship.

Huddle then took center stage during the 2006 outdoor season, posting the nation’s fastest times at both 5,000- and 10,000-meters, and becoming only the second woman in BIG EAST history to win both races at the conference meet. She went on to be named the BIG EAST Outstanding Outdoor Track Performer, as well as the USTFCCCA Great Lakes District Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year and won her third NCAA Mideast Regional 5,000-meter title in as many tries. Huddle’s season ended just short of the brass ring, as she finished second in the 5,000 meters at the NCAA Championships, still the best placement ever by an Irish women’s track athlete in any event. She also garnered her ninth All-America citation.

In 2004, Huddle had one of the most prolific seasons in Irish track and field history. She was an All-American in the indoor 3,000- and 5,000-meter runs as well as the outdoor 5,000 meters. Connelly accompanied Huddle as she competed in the United States Olympic Trials, eventually finishing seventh in the 5,000 meters as the top non-professional/ colle-gian in the race. A year earlier, Connelly guided Huddle to All- America honors in the indoor 3,000 meters and outdoor 5,000 meters. Huddle capped that season by running away with the U.S. Junior 3,000-meter title at the national meet in Palo Alto, Calif.

Huddle qualified for the 2012 London Olympics in the 5,000m after finishing second at the U.S. Olympic Trials.

A 1983 Notre Dame graduate, Connelly ran both cross country and track for the Irish. Following his graduation, Connelly served as a graduate assistant coach under Joe Piane while working toward his master’s degree in business.

In 1986, Connelly moved on to Syracuse as an assistant cross country and track coach. During his time in central New York, he coached the men’s and women’s middle distance and distance runners and managed recruiting duties for both programs.

A native of Pittsburgh, Pa., Connelly and his wife, the former Donna Southerly, are the parents of two children -- daughter, Alexandra, and son, Brendan.

As the Notre Dame women’s cross country team continues to establish itself as one of the best in the nation, the man standing at the forefront of that emergence has been Tim Connelly.

Now in his 25th season at Notre Dame, Connelly not only serves as the head coach of the Irish women’s cross country team, but also tutors the middle dis-tance and distance runners during the indoor and outdoor track seasons. As one of the longest tenured active assistants at the University, he is closely involved with all aspects of the Notre Dame track and field/cross country program and is known as one of the best coaches in the Midwest.

Since taking over the Irish women’s cross country program during its infancy in 1988, Connelly has helped Notre Dame reach unprecedented heights, finishing among the top-10 at the NCAA Championship every season from 2002-05. Notre Dame also has garnered a trip to the NCAA awards podium twice, finishing in a program-best third place in 2002, followed by a fourth-place showing in 2004.

However, that hardly begins to scratch the sur-face of Connelly’s accomplishments during his two-decade plus run at Notre Dame. The Irish women also have won three BIG EAST Conference titles and placed either first or second at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional from 2001-05, and again in 2009. What’s more, Notre Dame runners have collected 15 All-America honors and 26 all-BIG EAST cross country citations since the Irish joined the conference in 1995-96.

On the track, the Notre Dame women’s distance program has grown exponentially in recent years. Irish runners have earned 21 All-America certificates since 1994.

In addition, Notre Dame women’s distance run-ners have garnered all-conference status 94 times and won 12 BIG EAST individual titles (as well as the 2003 distance medley relay crown) since 1995-96, with Rebecca Tracy becoming the most recent cham-pion in the 1,500m at the 2012 outdoor champion-ships. The Irish runners also have played a critical role in a pair of team titles at the BIG EAST Indoor Championship (2002, 2006) and one BIG EAST Outdoor Championship (2007), as well as 10 runner-up finishes at conference meets (four indoor, five outdoor).

For his efforts, Connelly has been richly rewarded with numerous coaching honors. He has been chosen for the BIG EAST Women’s Cross Country Coaching Staff of the Year award three times (2002, 2003, 2005) and has been part of the BIG EAST Women’s Indoor Track & Field Coaching Staff of the Year twice (2002, 2006) and the BIG EAST Women’s Outdoor Track & Field Coaching Staff of the Year once (2007). He also was named Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year in 2002, 2003 and 2009 after the Irish won the region crown.

Connelly’s distance runners helped the Irish women’s program to a fourth-place finish at the 2009 BIG EAST Outdoor Championships, while the women’s cross country squad finished sixth at the BIG EAST Championship with Lindsey Ferguson garnering all- conference honors. The Irish also returned to the NCAA Championship for the first time since 2005.

In 2012, the women’s track and field team fin-ished fourth and second, respectively, at the BIG EAST indoor and outdoor meets, a marked improvement from a year earlier.

Under Connelly’s tutelage, Notre Dame’s distance program was able to excel in 2007, playing a large role in helping the Irish win their first BIG EAST out-door championship since joining the league in 1995-96. Connelly produced six top-eight finishers to bring in points for the Irish. The women’s cross country team’s season ended with a third-place finish at the BIG EAST Cross Country Championships and a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional meet, just shy of a bid to the national meet. The conference finish was the fifth consecutive top-three BIG EAST finish by the Irish women.

In 2007, Molly Huddle led the women’s distance with a runner-up performance in the 5,000-meters at the BIG EAST indoor championships and a double crown at the BIG EAST outdoor championships in the 5,000 meters and the 10,000 meters, only the third multiple winner of the honor since its inception in 1993, and the first back-to-back recipient since for-mer Irish All-American Liz Grow took the hardware in 2001 and 2002. Her outdoor performance earned her BIG EAST Outstanding Outdoor Track Performer hon-ors. At the NCAA Mideast Regional meet, she went on to win her fourth consecutive 5,000-meter title, to pave her way to the national meet where she became a 10-time All-American after taking third in the 5,000 meters.

Connelly’s charges were at the forefront of a his-toric run in 2005-06, as Notre Dame came within 10 points at the conference’s outdoor meet of becoming the first school in 18 seasons to win the BIG EAST women’s “triple crown” (cross country, indoor track, outdoor track). It all started with an impressive 25-point win at the BIG EAST Cross Country Championship, with the 34-point Irish performance being the best scoring outing by any league school since 1994. Notre Dame had four of the top eight runners in the field, giving the Irish their largest-ever crop of all-conference honorees.

That outing preceded a runner-up showing at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional, where Notre Dame once

Beltran guided the Irish throwers to seven all-BIG EAST honors in 2008, including Brandon Drenon’s first BIG EAST outdoor title in the discus. Six of Beltran’s athletes qualified for the NCAA Mideast Regionals. Alyissa Hasan earned all-BIG EAST and All-America honors in the pentathlon. She also garnered all-conference honors for her heptathlon performance at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships. Espinoza finished 25th in the discus at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

Prior to joining the Notre Dame staff, Beltran was on the track and field staff at Saint Francis (Pa.) University where he worked with the Red Flash throwers and oversaw the program’s recruiting efforts. Under his tutelage, 20 St. Francis student-athletes won Northeast Conference (NEC) titles in the men’s and women’s weight throw, javelin, hammer throw, discus and women’s shot put.

During his tenure at St. Francis, Beltran watched 17 Red Flash throwing records fall in the men’s and women’s indoor shot put, discus, javelin, women’s outdoor shot put and the men’s hammer and weight throws. In 2007, Lisa Morse earned the Outstanding Field Performer award at the NEC Outdoor Championships, while Dian Gmiter went on to win the same award at the indoor league meet.

Before his stint at St. Francis, Beltran served as an assistant coach at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He worked with throwers and coached athletes to Mid-Continent Conference titles in the shot put and the javelin. Nine of his athletes went on to break school track and field records under his watch.

A 1999 graduate of UMKC, the Austin, Texas, native earned his bachelor of liberal arts degree with an emphasis in American studies and a minor in black studies/cultural anthropology. He has earned USA Track and Field Level I and Level II certifications.

Adam Beltran joined the Notre Dame men’s and women’s track and field program before the 2007-08 season as an assistant coach for throws.

Entering his sixth season, Beltran has helped oversee 20 all-BIG EAST performers between men’s and women’s shot put, discus, hammer throw and weight throw, and for the throw events in the men’s heptathlon and decathlon and the women’s pentathlon and heptathlon.

Included in the 20 are six throwing champions, and 11 multi-event all-BIG EAST performers.

In 2012, senior Andrew Hills won the hammer throw at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championship, while Andrew Brock (shot put) and Anthony Thomas (discus) earned all-BIG EAST accolades. During the indoor season, Maddie Buttinger (pentathlon) earned an all-BIG EAST citation.

2011 saw John Belcher win the hammer throw at the outdoor championships, while teammate Greg Davis finished third. Buttinger took second in the heptathlon on the women’s side. During the indoor season, Davis finished second in the weight throw and Denes Veres took third in the shot put.

In 2010, four student-athletes earned all-BIG EAST honors under Beltran’s watch, including a pair of throwers and two multi-event athletes. Denes Veres took home all-league accolades in the shot put at the indoor championship, while John Belcher took home the BIG EAST title in the hammer throw at the outdoor champion-ship. In addition, Beltran’s efforts helped multi-event athletes Justin Schneider and Maddie Buttinger earn all-BIG EAST accolades.

Schneider earned all-BIG EAST honors in the heptathlon, where he claimed first, and in the decathlon, where he finished second. Buttinger picked-up all-league honors at the outdoor champion-ships and earned a 20th place finish at the NCAA Championships.

The 2009-10 season saw Beltran mentor Veres to all-BIG EAST honors in shot put, the fourth such honor of Veres’ career. Greg Davis and Mitchell Gromley also received all-conference accolades in the hammer throws. All told, the Irish sent nine throwers (men’s and women’s) to NCAA regionals, while Veres, Jaclyn Espinoza and Elise Knutzen advanced to the NCAA Championships. It marked the fourth-straight appearance at NCAAs for Espinoza, the first time a Notre Dame woman qualified for the season’s final meet in program history. Knutzen became the first javelin thrower to advance to the championships, while Davis (weight throw), Atang (shot put) and Veres (shot put) all set school records. For his efforts, Beltran was named the Great Lakes Regional Assistant Coach of the Year.

Beltran helped Espinoza earn an All-America honor in the dis-cus with a third-place finish at the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Championships, as well as the BIG EAST outdoor meet. Jeff Mensch also became a BIG EAST champion in the hammer throw. Seven Irish

Saxer went on to earn All-America honors at both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships, while Schipper advanced to both the indoor and outdoor nationals. Schneider turned in a runner-up finish in the decathlon to earn all-conference honors, before advancing to the NCAA Outdoor Championships during the outdoor season, while Buttinger finished third in the pentathlon during the indoor season and second in the heptathlon during the outdoor season. Kevin Schipper also earned his first all-BIG EAST scroll, with a second place showing at the league’s indoor meet.

In four years at Notre Dame, Garnham coached student-ath-letes have earned five All-America certificates, won 12 BIG EAST titles and earned 21 all-BIG EAST scrolls.

Garnham joined the Irish staff after a three-year stint as the field events coach at the University of Tulsa. During his tenure, he coached an NCAA qualifier in the shot put, a USATF indoor shot put qualifier, 17 NCAA Midwest Regional qualifiers, four Conference USA champions and 20 all-C-USA athletes. His student- athletes also set 18 school records at Tulsa.

Prior to Tulsa, Garnham served five years as an assistant track and field coach at the University at Buffalo, where he worked with multi-event athletes, javelin throwers and hurdlers. He coached a USATF indoor heptathlon qualifier, a Canadian Olympic trials quali-fier in the women’s heptathlon, two NCAA qualifiers, four NCAA East Regional qualifiers and five Mid- American Conference champions.

Garnham earned his bachelor’s degree in history from Kent State in 1998.

Jim Garnham joined the Notre Dame track and field staff as an assistant coach for jumps in the fall of 2008. With the Irish Garnham is responsible for coaching the pole vault, long, high and triple jumps competitors. He also helps coach the multi-event participants.

During his four years with the program, Garnham has helped coach Olympic Trials participants, All-Americans and all-BIG EAST performers.

Among the standouts include six-time BIG EAST pole vault champion Kevin Schipper, three-time BIG EAST pole vault champion Matt Schipper and All-Americans Maddie Buttinger and Mary Saxer.

2012 turned out to be a standout year for Garnham and his student-athletes, as Kevin Schipper won both BIG EAST pole vault crowns for the third year in a row, and was named an NCAA Indoor All-American after finishing fourth at the national indoor meet. He also earned a spot at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the event. Buttinger also turned in a strong year, finishing second at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships in the pentathlon, and then turned in an All-American performance at the NCAA Indoor Championships with a third place finish. At the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships, Logan Renwick won the triple jump title, while decathlete Ted Glasnow earned all-BIG EAST honors with a third place showing.

2011 saw Kevin Schipper win two more BIG EAST pole vault titles, while Justin Schneider earned all-BIG EAST honors in the heptathlon at the indoor meet. Buttinger earned a spot at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the heptathlon, finishing 12th in the event.

In 2010, Garnham mentored BIG EAST indoor champions Eric Quick (triple jump) and Schneider (heptathlon) and indoor and out-door pole vault champion Kevin Schipper. Schipper went on to become an outdoor All-American in the event. Schneider (decath-lon), Quick (long jump) and Buttinger (heptathlon) took second at the BIG EAST outdoor meet to earn all-BIG EAST honors. She later went on to compete in her first NCAA Outdoor Championships. Quick also earned a spot in the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the triple jump, marking the first time a Notre Dame athlete had advanced to nationals in the event.

In Turner’s first season with the Salukis, he directed the efforts of Felix Anderson, who finished as the high-point scorer at the 2006 MVC Indoor Championships. Anderson won the 400-meters and took runner-up in the 200-meters. Anderson also captured the outdoor 200-meters title and was a regional qualifier in the 200-meters, 400-meters and 4x100-meter events.

Prior to his arrival at Southern Illinois, Turner spent two years (2004-05) at Proviso East High School (Maywood, Ill.) as an assistant coach in the sprints and horizontal jumps. While at Proviso East he coached one Junior National Champion, three Junior National quali-fiers, two Illinois High School Association (IHSA) state champions, three all-state honorees and six sectional champions. Three of his athletes from the 2004 squad received Division I track scholarships.

Before taking the job Proviso East, Turner assisted triple jumper Kamau Sullivan in qualifying for the USATF Nationals in 1993 and 1994, as a member of the Nike Indiana Track Club.

An accomplished student-athlete in his own right, Turner knows a few things about performing for a high-caliber program. A 1992 graduate of Indiana University, Turner was a three-time All-American for the Hoosiers. He won five Big Ten titles (two long jump, two 400-meters and one 4x400-meter relay) and was a three-time team captain while leading Indiana to five consecutive Big Ten Conference team crowns. In 1991, he captured the NCAA indoor long jump title and was runner-up at the NCAA outdoor championships that same year. He also qualified for the NCAA Championships in the 400-meters and 4x100-meter relay. More than 20 years since accomplishing that feat, Turner still holds the Indiana record in the outdoor long jump.

Outside of collegiate competition, Turner finished in the top-eight in the long jump at the USA Outdoor Championships four times. He was a member of five U.S. National teams and won the gold medal at the 1991 World University Games in the long jump. A native of North Chicago, Ill., Turner earned a bachelor’s degree in public finance from Indiana. Professionally, Turner has worked as a trading assistant with Conseco Capital Management (Carmel, Ind.) and as a portfolio manager with First Chicago and Bank One (Chicago, Ill.).

Alan Turner is entering his third season on the Notre Dame coaching staff after joining the program in September 2010. He is responsible for the training of all Irish sprint and hurdlers.

In two seasons, Turner has made an immediate impact at Notre Dame. He has tutored seven Big East champions, 24 All-Big East performances and nine NCAA Outdoor Championships qualifiers. His athletes have broken eight school records.

2012 was a brilliant season for the Notre Dame sprinters and hurdlers, as three individuals won Big East crowns; Nevada Sorenson 60H, Patrick Feeney 400m indoors, Christopher Giesting 200m and 400m outdoors, while the women’s 4x100m relay team also claimed the Big East title. His athletes also set seven Notre Dame school records in 2012; Indoors: Kaila Barber, 60H – 8.27, Patrick Feeney, 400m – 46.55, Chris Giesting, 500m – 1:01.28, Women’s DMR: Natalie Geiger 400 leg – 11:04.45, Men’s DMR: Giesting 400 leg – 9:35.48. Outdoors: Giesting, 400m – 46.03, Men’s 4x400m relay – 3:06.20.

Freshman Christopher Giesting was named Big East Men’s Outstanding Track Performer after winning the 200m and 400m at the 2012 outdoor championship. He also ran the fastest 400m leg on the NCAA Distance Medley Relay team that won the NCAA Indoor title. Freshman Kaila Barber earned a bronze medal at the IAAF World Junior Track & Field Championships in the 400H.

In his first season, Turner coached freshman Patrick Feeney to a sweep of the BIG EAST 400-meter titles at the BIG EAST Indoor & Outdoor Championships. Feeney also was part of the All-American and Notre Dame record holding distance medley relay that finished

fourth at the NCAA Indoor Championships in 9:30.16. Feeney fin-ished 16th in the 400-meters at the NCAA East Regional. Also at the East Regional were sophomore Nevada Sorenson (100H) and fresh-men Michelle Brown (400m) and Megan Yanik (400H).

Prior to Notre Dame, Turner spent five seasons at Southern Illinois University. While at Southern Illinois, Turner served as the coach for the men’s and women’s sprint and hurdle squads as well as the relay teams. With the Salukis, he planned and conducted prac-tices as well as implemented and supervised the program’s strength and conditioning program for these groups.

Regarded as one of the top sprint coaches in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) during his five-year tenure, Turner mentored 17 MVC champions during his tenure and 25 individuals who earned runner-up finishes. In addition, Saluki student-athletes earned all-MVC honors on 65 occasions. He also coached 25 NCAA regional qualifiers and one NCAA National qualifier.

In 2009-10, Turner steered his sprint and hurdle corps to three school records and five Missouri Valley individual titles in 2009-10. Kandise Thompson set the new SIU standard with a 54.24 in the 400m indoors as well as part of the 4x400m relay team that broke the school record by almost four seconds with a 3:39.51. Kendra Deck broke the 400H record three times and set the new standard at 58.61 finishing 14th at the NCAA West Regional. Tredene Davis was also under the old record during the same race with Deck at the regional meet. Brandon Deloney continued to dominate the 200m in the MVC again sweeping the conference titles at the indoor and outdoor meets. Meredith Hayes also continued her reign in the short hurdles winning the MVC titles for the second straight year in the 60H indoor and 100H outdoor. Sammy Biggs won the outdoor 400m title. The women’s team won the outdoor Missouri Valley title for the second straight year by 44 1⁄2 point margin.

In 2009, sprinter Meredith Hayes captured both the 60-meter hurdles (indoor) and 100-meter hurdles (outdoor) titles at the respective MVC league championship meets. In doing so, she estab-lished the MVC Indoor Championship meet 60H record at 8.40.

His athletes yielded 19 all-MVC accolades in 2008 along with six MVC titles and eight NCAA Mid-East Regional invitations. Freshman Brandon Deloney won the MVC 200m titles at both the indoor and outdoor championships. In doing so he set SIU’s McAndrew Stadium record at 20.83 during the outdoor meet. Deloney finished the 2008 season with four MVC titles, All-Mideast Region in 4x400m and a USATF Jr. National All-American in the 200m. Sophomores Stevie Warren and Sammy Biggs Warren cap-

was witness to the men’s distance medley relay team winning a national championship at the NCAA Indoor Championships. During the year, the women’s cross country team took 22nd at the NCAA Championships, the men’s cross team placed 24th and the men’s indoor track and field squad finished 12th.

Prior to coming to Notre Dame, Carlson was a cross country coach and head distance track coach at Saint Charles North High School in Saint Charles, Ill. There he helped with both practice and operations in addition to his coaching responsibilities.

A team captain and All-American at North Central College in Naperville, Ill., from 2006-10, Carlson helped the cross country squad capture a Division III national championship in 2009 after a runner-up finish in 2008. In 2009 he won the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin individual championship after placing first at the conference meet. In 2010, the track and field squad claimed both the NCAA indoor and outdoor crowns.

Upon graduation, Carlson worked as a volunteer assistant track coach for seven months at his alma mater before moving on to Saint Charles North and ultimately Notre Dame.

“We are really excited to have Sean join the program in a full-time capacity,” said Piane. “He did a great job for us during his interim period, working his tail off during recruiting. He came from a top-notch Division III program so he understands what it takes to be the best both athletically and academically. He also gets along really well with the staff and student-athletes. He is a perfect fit for us.”

Carlson, who graduated from North Central College in June 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts in small business management and entrepreneurship, came to Notre Dame in August of 2011 as a volun-teer assistant coach, before moving up to interim assistant coach after a position opened up on the staff.

“I’m excited to work at one of the best academic and athletic schools in the country,” said Carlson. “I feel very fortunate to join such a talented and knowledgeable cross country and track and field staff, and I look forward to working with the student-athletes to help them get the most out of their talents and abilities.”

With the Irish, Carlson played a heavy role in recruiting, opera-tions and practice, and also helped the Irish win a pair of BIG EAST Championships on the men’s side, earn a pair of top-four finishes at the BIG EAST Championships on the women’s side and qualify 14 student-athletes for the NCAA Outdoor Championships. In March, he

After working as the Notre Dame interim assistant cross coun-try and track and field coach since November 2011, Sean Carlson has had the interim tag removed, as he was named the newest member of the Irish cross country and track and field staff by veteran head coach Joe Piane on July 1, 2012.

The Notre Dame Invitational is one of the nation’s oldest and largest intercol-legiate cross country meets. It is annually run at the University of Notre Dame Golf Course. The Invitational was started by former Irish head coach Alex Wilson in 1956 and regularly features runners from approximately 60 schools around the country. A 5,000-meter women’s race was added in 1987 to the current men’s event (lengthened from four to five miles in 1968).Men’s ChampionsYear Team Individual Time1956 Notre Dame John Michno (Notre Dame) 20:361957 Notre Dame Ed Monnelly (Notre Dame) 20:121958 Western Michigan Art Eversole (Western Michigan) 19:461959 Western Michigan Ron Gregory (Notre Dame) 20:11.91960 Western Michigan Jerry Ashmore (Western Michigan) 19:471961 Western Michigan Tom O’Hara (Loyola) 19:201962 Western Michigan Frank Carver (Notre Dame) 19:32.51963 Notre Dame Frank Carver (Notre Dame) 19:131964 Notre Dame Bill Clark (Notre Dame) 19:191965 Notre Dame Steve Smith (Western Michigan) 19:07.41966 Western Michigan Sam Bair (Kent State) 19:23.31967 Notre Dame Sam Bair (Kent State) 18:49

The BIG EAST ConferenceThe 2012-13 academic year is the 34th in the

history of The BIG EAST Conference as the unique consortium marches on competing at the highest level with integrity and sportsmanship.

The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth and continues to make strides in improving the quality and depth of the storied league.

The BIG EAST Conference has been always been driven by lofty goals. The outstanding performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are evidence of the league’s proud tradition of success. The league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The 2011-12 year was no different.

In the athletic arena, BIG EAST student-athletes again enjoyed success on the national stage. The Georgetown women’s cross country team captured its first NCAA Championship. The win by the Hoyas marked the third-straight year a BIG EAST team has won the women’s cross country championship, with Villanova winning the past two. The Louisville men’s basketball team advanced to the Final Four in New Orleans. Connecticut field hockey reached the NCAA semifinals, as did the Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team. The Irish women’s basketball team and Syracuse women’s lacrosse team each reached the NCAA finals. USF softball reached the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla., for the first time in program history.

The BIG EAST placed two teams in the NCAA Women’s Final Four for the third time in the last four years as Connecticut joined Notre Dame in Denver, with the Fighting Irish advancing to the national title game for the second-straight year.

BIG EAST student-athletes won five NCAA championships. Sheila Reid won her second-straight NCAA Women’s Cross Country title. Syracuse hurdler Jarret Eaton won the 60-meter hurdle championship in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship. Notre Dame won the distance medley relay at the same championship. Georgetown’s Emily Infeld won the 3,000-meter run. Carlos Almeida of Louisville won the 200-yard breaststroke at the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships.

BIG EAST football maintained its national profile as a competitively balanced group. Three BIG EAST teams won bowl games, while the BIG EAST representative in the Bowl Championship Series won its bowl game for the fourth time in the last seven years- a streak that includes wins against the ACC, Big 12 and SEC champions.

The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing – the University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, the University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida.

BIG EAST institutions reside in 18 of the nation’s top 50 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cincinnati

and Milwaukee. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain more than one-fourth of all television households in the U.S. The BIG EAST will welcome UCF, Houston, Memphis, SMU and Temple in all sports in 2013-14. Temple football will join the league in 2012, with Boise State and San Diego State joining the following year and Navy in 2015.

Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 32 national championships in six different sports and 137 student-athletes have won individual national titles through 2011-12.

BIG EAST basketball squads have captured 11 titles in the last 13 years. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. The BIG EAST placed three men’s basketball teams in the Final Four in 1985, the only time this has occurred in NCAA history.

Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. The conference currently crowns champions in 24 sports.

The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance.

While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis

on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics.

Any successful organization has had the good fortune to have outstanding leadership. The BIG EAST primarily was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, who was the conference’s first Commissioner. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. John Marinatto was the third commissioner of the BIG EAST, serving from 2009-2012, after seven years as the conference’s senior associate commissioner.

The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyed longstanding relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC.

BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past nine years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball.

The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 student-athletes.
