The Griffin is a legendary creature with the head, beak, and

wings of an eagle, the body of a lion, and occasionally, the

tail of a serpent or scorpion. Its origin lies somewhere in the

Middle East where it is found in the paintings and sculptures

of the ancient Babylonians, Assyrians, and Persians. In Greek

mythology, they took gold from the stream Arimaspias and,

neighbors of the Hyperboreans, they belonged to Zeus. The

later Romans used them for decoration and, even in Christian

times, the Griffin motif often appears. Griffins were frequently

used as gargoyles on medieval churches and buildings.

2010 Media Guide4

Kim Norman enters her seventh season at the helm of the Westminster

volleyball program and site just five wns shy of 100 in her career. Since

taking over the program in 2004, the team has gone 95-88 overall and 53-31

in Frontier Conference action. They have won two conference championships

and have had three winning seasons. Norman guided the team to the NAIA

National Championships for the first time in school history during the 2007

season.

When Norman took over the team in 2004, they

were coming off a 1-32 season. The first season

under Norman they went 14-14, the first non-

losing season in school history. That season was

followed up with a 16-13 season and a Frontier

Conference Tournament championship. The 2006

season saw another school first–a 20-win season.

They finished 22-12 and claimed a share of the

Frontier Conference regular season title and again

won the conference tournament.

The 2007 season was the best in school history.

Norman guided the team to a 25-12 overall

record and they qualified for the NAIA National

Tournament for the first time ever.

Under Norman, the Griffins have averaged 16

wins per season. They also received a first-ever

All-American in Angie Johnson (2007) and several

all-conference recognitions. The team also excels

in the classroom. In six seasons, the Griffins have placed 40 players on the

Frontier Conference Academic All-Conference team and had six Daktronics-

NAIA Scholar Athletes.

Norman began her college coaching career at Utah State University in 1987,

where she coached and earned an MS in physical education. After one

season as second assistant coach for the USU women’s volleyball team,

Norman took over the USU collegiate men’s program as their head coach

from 1988–1991. Her concern that volleyball athletes were being recruited

only from Southern California led her to start an arm of USA Volleyball now

called the Intermountain Volleyball Association. As founder and CEO since

its inception in 1990, Norman is responsible for making Utah one of the

nation’s powerhouses in the Junior Olympic Volleyball Club world.

She is also the founder of the High Country Volleyball Club where her

responsibilities include Director of Coaching and Athlete Development. This

past season, she led the 18-1 team to the USAV Junior Olympics in Reno,

Nevada where they finished 25th in the 18 Open division. Norman’s teams

have finished as high as second in the nation.

As Head Coach of Highland High School in Salt Lake City, Utah, Norman

compiled a 296-92 record over twelve seasons. Under her coaching, the

Rams made it to every state championship tournament from 1992–2003 and

won the Utah High School State Championship in 1996 and 1997. Those

teams were led by notable Olympian Logan Tom.

In 1994, she worked in various coaching and

administrative capacities with USA Volleyball,

including assisting the Women’s Junior National

team. In 1996, Norman and University of Utah

head coach Beth Launiere started the USA

Volleyball Intermountain High Performance

Program, a program that has been touted as

the best Olympic Development Program in the

USA Volleyball system. In December 2003, the

United States Olympic Committee gave Utah

and Intermountain Volleyball Association the

only Community Olympic Development Program

designation for volleyball in the United States.

Through her involvement with USA Volleyball,

Norman has coached and represented the United

States and Utah in several foreign countries. In

the summer of 2008, Norman led a group who

traveled to Brazil and competed against some of

the top competition in the world. Norman’s life is

volleyball, and her passion for the game is why she

has taken Westminster to the success it has achieved. Norman believes that

with Westminster’s philosophy of excellence, great things will happen for the

Griffins’ Volleyball program.

VOLLEYBALL STAFF

Owen joined the staff at Westminster College as Assistant Coach in February

of 2010. Through High Country Volleyball Club and now Westminster

College Owen has had the opportunity to work with the Gold Medal Squared

teaching system and its originater, Dr. Carl McGown. Monroy’s ability to

run the DataVolley software and incorporate its video feedback, game-film,

statistical, and scouting advantages to the program are a valuable addition.

Since moving to Salt Lake City late in 2008, Monroy has quickly found

opportunities to advance his skills in coaching by being an assistant coach

for High Country 18-1. Working under Kim Norman, he played an integral

role in preparing the team for National Championships in Reno, Nevada.

In cooperation with Intermountain Volleyball Association and USA Volleyball

Monroy is at the forefront of bringing sand volleyball to the mountains. He

has received coaches training from the USA Beach Volleyball staff and has

coached High Performance athletes to compete in the High Performance

tournaments in California.

Monroy was a member of Messiah College Men’s Volleyball squad from 2004-

2008 (a NCAA DIV III school competing in NIRSA DIV II), coached by former

USA Men’s National Team member Gerald Poor. Monroy earned Mid-Atlantic

Conference First Team honors as an outside hitter in 2005 before shifting

focus to Libero in his final two years. He graduated on the dean’s list, Cum

Laude in 2008 with a bachelors of arts in Music Business.

Monroy enters the gym everyday because he loves the game and helping

others achieve excellence. He still enjoys playing competitively both indoors

and in the sand.

He was born and raised in Bowmansdale, Pennsylvania and currently resides

in Salt Lake City.

Brenda Whicker returns for her second season on the bench for Westminster.

Whicker’s responsibilities include working with the hitters. She also heads

up recruiting for the program.

Whicker played collegiately at the University of Utah where she currently

ranks second in school history with 1,565 career kills. She is also second

in Utah history with 1.313 digs and holds the school record with 161 career

service aces. This past April she was inducted into the Crimson Club Hall of

Fame at the University of Utah.

Whicker has continued to play and coach since graduating from Utah. Brenda

has coached camps, club teams, and high school teams over the past 12

years and she spent this past season coaching the 17-1 team at SportsPlex

Volleyball Club. That team finished seventh in the Intermountain Region.

Whicker now enjoys playing Beach Volleyball and has had the opportunity to

play in AVP events. She currently resides in Kaysville, Utah with her husband

Jeremy and their three boys.

AFFILIATIONS

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) is a completely autonomous association currently administering programs of intercollegiate athletics for approximately 330 fully accredited colleges and universities of moderate enrollment.

The fundamental tenet of the NAIA is that intercollegiate athletics is an integral part of the total educational program of the institution. This belief is strongly reflected in the governing documents, activities and organizational structure of the Association.

Established in 1940 as the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball (NAIB), the Association expanded to include other programs in 1952. The NAIA became the first intercollegiate sports governing body to provide championship opportunities for both men andwomen when the women’s program was established on August 1, 1980.

The purpose of the NAIA is to promote education and development of students through intercollegiate athletic participation. Member institutions, although varied and diverse, share a common commitment to high standards and the principle that athletes serve as an integral part of education.

The NAIA embraces the concept of the student and recognizes the importance of the individuality of each member institution, the value of the conference and regional structure, and the benefits of membership in a national association.

The NAIA Champions of Character program is an educational outreach initiative which emphasizes the tenets of character and integrity, not only for NAIA college students, but for younger students, coaches and parents in our communities.

Coaches, parents, administrators and community partners all have a role in developing students of character. The NAIA Champions of Character program brings them training, guidelines and

behavior models to create positive environments that promote personal growth and fun sport activity.

The Frontier Conference was organized in 1935 with four of the eight existing colleges as charter members. Carroll College joined in 1938. For a 10-year period, from 1974 to 1984, the College of Great Falls, now the University of Great Falls competed in the conference. Great Falls rejoined the Frontier in 1999-2000. For a short time, MSU-Billings (then Eastern Montana College) was a member of the league.

New members in 1998-99 were Lewis-Clark State College of Lewiston, Idaho and Westminster College of Salt Lake City, Utah. This made the conference now with schools in three states.

The conference now consists of Carroll College, Eastern Oregon University (football only), University of Great Falls, Lewis-Clark State College, Montana State University-Northern, Montana Tech, University of Montana Western, Rocky Mountain College, and Westminster College.

The purpose of the Frontier Conference is to encourage, promote, sponsor and control athletic competition among participating colleges as an integral part of the total educational process. With their motto, “The Best in academics and athletics,” members compete for conference championships in football, basketball, golf, volleyball, soccer, and cross country.

2010 Media Guide18

For the third consecutive season the Westminster women’s volleyball team challenged themselves during the preseason. Westminster faced five teams ranked in the top-20 during the team’s first 12 matches, including the top three teams in the rankings. Although they finished just 3-9 during that opening stretch, they used that to finish fifth in the Frontier Conference and 9-20 overall.

Twice during the conference season, Westminster ran together three-match winning streaks and won four straight home matches without dropping a set. They pushed No. 19 Carroll College to a 15-13 fifth-set in the home meeting. The Griffins had 12 matches go past three sets during the season and were 2-2 in five-set matches.

Tahnie Blymiller led the Frontier Conference with 548 digs and was named the Frontier Conference Libero of the Year. Ericka Evans joined Blymiller on the All-Frontier Conference First Team after posting a team-best 291 kills and hitting .183. Talita Kresser was named the Frontier Conference Newcomer of the year and Megan Evans was named to the All-Freshman Team.

Ericka Evans, Katie McLintock, and Kelsey Schaufler were all named Daktronics-NAIA Women’s Volleyball Scholar Athletes. This was the second consecutive year that Schaufler received the honor.

SHAY WYATTDirector of Athletics5th Year at WestminsterIn September 2006, Shay Wyatt was hired as Director of Athletics at Westminster College. Under his guidance the intercollegiate athletic program has experienced growth and success. Wyatt’s leadership has led to increases in the number of sports offered, enrollment, academic and athletic success,

departmental budget, community service efforts amongst student-athletes, fundraising, corporate partners, ticket revenue, attendance at athletic events, coaches and support staff and he spearheaded strategic planning efforts for the Athletics Department. Under his guidance, Westminster Athletics has experienced facility enhancements, improved eligibility and compliance processes, branding and website technologies, licensing and apparel agreements have been established and a student-athlete advisory committee and student fan group were formed. Wyatt has served on various institutional committees and was recently appointed to serve on the National Administrative Committee of the NAIA which sets policy and procedures for the national organization.

Prior to Westminster College, Wyatt served as Director of Sports Marketing and Bruin Club at Salt Lake Community College in 2006. While only at SLCC for a short period of time, he secured the athletic department’s largest ever corporate sponsorship.

From 2001-2006, Wyatt served as the Wildcat Club Executive Director at Weber State University. He was responsible for the development efforts for the athletics department including annual giving, major gifts, endowments, special events and donor relations. The Wildcat Club experienced an increase in annual giving totals each year Wyatt was at the helm, including a 17% increase in 2004. He was instrumental in securing more than $350,000 in football suites, club seating and basketball preferred seating.

Wyatt made his way to Weber State via Utah Valley State College where he served as the Director of Development for Athletics from 1999-2001. He was responsible for creating the fund raising arm of the athletic department, serving as the first-ever development director at UVSC. In this role he defined all aspects of annual giving and major gift opportunities. Upon his arrival at UVSC he increased annual giving by 30% in his first year. He served as a member of the strategic planning committee, planning the college’s move from NJCAA to NCAA Division I.

From 1995-1998, Wyatt served as the Athletic Events Coordinator at the University of Utah. He was responsible for all aspects of event and facility management. He served as Assistant Tournament Manager for the 1997 NCAA West Region First/Second Rounds Men’s Basketball Tournament.

2010 Media Guide

Payne Gymnasium houses the newly renovated Griffins strength and athletic training facilities, auxiliary basketball court, locker rooms, and offices for men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s soccer. Built during the term of President Herbert W. Reherd (1913–1939), it was named after the president of the Board of Trustees and manager of the local J.C. Penney Company; groundbreaking was July 1928 and dedication January 11, 1929.

Though the college worried that it was frivolous to spend money on a gymnasium, the facility, designed by architect Walter E. Ware, provided badly needed recreation for the school and groups in the entire Sugar House area. It was added to and remodeled in 1970 under President Manford Shaw (1968–1976), and has housed the basketball and volleyball programs, dances, speakers, luncheons, career fairs, orientations, and a variety of other cultural and social student events—including being the practice facility for the Utah Jazz from 1979 to May 1999.

DUMKE FIELD

Dumke Field, on the site of the Dane Hansen Stadium, was opened October 2, 1949, by college president Robert D. Steele (1939–1952). It was a gift of the George Hansen family in memory of a son and brother, Lt. Dane Hansen, Class of 1940, who lost his life in World War II. Having had seating for 1,200 attendants, the stadium had been the college soccer and activities field, commencement green, and later a paved parking facility. In fall 2005, it was transformed into a parking structure, with an elevated artificial turf athletic field on top. This facility is now the home field for the Griffins men’s and women’s soccer and men’s lacrosse teams.

WESTMINSTER COLLEGEWestminster is a nationally recognized, comprehensive liberal arts college. With a broad array of graduate and undergraduate programs, Westminster is distinguished by its unique environment for learning. Westminster prepares students for success through active and engaged learning, real world experiences, and its vibrant campus community. Westminster’s unique location, adjacent to the Rocky Mountains and to the dynamic city of Salt Lake, further enriches the college experience.

While we’re proud that Westminster is consistently ranked as a “Top Tier” college and recognized on the list of “Great Schools” by the U.S.News & World Report, and that Westminster was named “Best in the West” by the Princeton Review, we hope you’ll come to campus, whether you’re a high school student or one of our alumni, and experience the Westminster community for yourself.

ACADEMICSWestminster offers more than 70 academic programs, including 34 majors, from accounting and international business to nursing and sociology. The most popular majors are business, nursing, psychology, and education. In addition, the college offers a variety of minors and 10 graduate programs. About 95 percent of the students go to graduate school or are employed within six months of graduation. The nursing program has a 100 percent placement rate. In addition to Westminster’s successful outcomes, a Utah Foundation study found that Westminster graduates have among the highest starting salaries of any university graduates in the state. These high starting salaries were attributed in part to the fact that nearly 70 percent of students complete an internship before they graduate.

Students choose Westminster College for many reasons, including our intense focus on individual students and their learning, the combination of liberal education and professional studies, our active learning experiences, dynamic campus environment, and the real world experiences we offer to ensure that our students are prepared to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

HISTORYWestminster College has played a pivotal role in the educational heritage of the intermountain area. Founded in 1875 as the Salt Lake Collegiate Institute, a preparatory school, Westminster first offered college classes in 1897 as Sheldon Jackson College. Named in honor of its primary benefactor, Sheldon Jackson, the college operated for many years on the Collegiate Institute campus in downtown Salt lake City. Gradually the institute became identified as the college preparatory department, and high school classes continued to be an integral part of the curriculum until 1945. In 1902, college trustees adopted the new name, Westminster. Moving to its present location in 1911, Westminster became the first accredited two-year junior college in the intermountain area. In 1935 Westminster modified its curriculum to qualify as a four-year junior college and in 1949 became a four-year liberal arts institution offering baccalaureate degrees in the arts and sciences.

Today Westminster exists as a fully independent, privately funded, nondenominational, comprehensive liberal arts institution of higher learning with selected graduate programs, meeting the West’s educational needs as it has since 1875.
