SOONERSPORTS.COM - 5

A year after doubling the win total from the previous campaign, OU returns 10 starters for the second consecu-tive season. The Sooners believe that experience will translate into the program’s first championship.The Oklahoma Sooners enter year number three in the current regime and the coaching staff, led by head coach Nicole Nelson, has plenty of reasons to smile as the campaign gets underway. While the Sooners return 10 starters and 16 letterwinners, they also signed the largest recruiting class in program history, filled with talent ready to contribute immediately. The additions of freshman Zoe Dickson, sophomore Caitlin Mooney and freshman Carrie Whigham gives OU six players with national team experience on the 2010 roster. Sophomore Dria Hampton and senior Whitney Palmer (U.S.) and Katharine Nutman (England) complete the list. The experience starts with three seniors that have started together each of the past three seasons. Palmer, the only Sooner to lead a team in scoring outright in three straight seasons, is the offensive highlight of the group at the forward position. Lauren Alkek on defense and Tiana Dickson in the defensive midfield will help lead the Sooners’ backline that shut out six teams in 2009 with sophomore goalkeeper Kelsey Devonshire.

“We are very excited to have the balance we do from our freshman to senior class,” said Nelson. “The newcomers are competitive and many have experience playing at a high level. The returners have done a tremendous job reaching out to this incoming class and developing a chemistry that is very good early in the year.” In 2009, OU started strong out of the gates with four straight wins and after a monumental win over Texas A&M, a program first, the Sooners stood at 6-4-1. Un-fortunately, injuries suffered to Sage Coralli (ACL), Michelle Alexander (concussion) and Kelsey Kraft (ACL), took their toll late in the season and OU posted a 1-6-1 mark over the final eight games.

“Last year before the injuries, we looked pretty good and I thought we were right in the mix,” added Nelson. “Ultimately, we lacked the depth needed to finish strong. We are happy to have everyone back healthy this year and have the depth necessary to keep everyone fresh on the field.” While the program has progressed on and off the field in the last two years, OU looks to take the next step in 2010 and build a championship tradition by return-ing to the postseason. The Sooners last postseason appearance was in 2006, a first round loss in the Big 12 Championship. OU’s only showing in the NCAA tourney came in 2003.

“This team has the potential to have a lot of success on the field ... I believe this group is capable of winning a Big 12 Championship,” Coach Nelson. In 2010, the Sooners are not focused on potential records or past results, but championships. “I try not to focus on records,” said Nelson. “At the beginning of every season our goal is to be better than the year before with aspirations of winning champion-ships, I believe this group is capable of winning a Big 12 Championship.” “I feel very good about the combination of talent, experience and chemistry with this group. This team has the potential to have a lot of success on the field, and that includes competing in the NCAA tournament.” To obtain that goal, the Sooners will battle through a 19-game slate that features nine contests at the OU Soccer Complex, one of the premier collegiate soccer facili-ties in the nation.

Overall, Oklahoma will play five games (four on the road) against teams that ad-vanced to last year’s NCAA Tournament, including two contests against Oklahoma State, a team that advanced to the second round. The Bedlam Series will highlight the opening weekend on Aug. 20 with the first regular season non-conference meeting between the two.

“I think the Bedlam rivalry is one of the most exciting rivalries in college sports,” said Nelson. “The additional game should continue to grow the fan base for our universities and our sport. “ OU will also face USC (first round), Santa Barbara (first round) and Texas A&M (Sweet 16), all NCAA participants a year ago. In addition, OU faces five other squads that rattled off 10 or more wins a year ago.

“We feel like the opponents we face in the non-conference segment will be beneficial, not only from an RPI standpoint, but also in terms of preparing us for the always grueling conference season,” said Nelson.

CHAMPIONSHIP ASPIRATIONSSooners have high expectations for 2010 campaign

2010 SEASON PREVIEWoklahoma preview

6 - 2010 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

SOONERSPORTS.COM - 7

GOALKEEPERSKey Returner: Kelsey Devonshire (So.) - As a true freshman, Devonshire played every minute in goal for OU and recorded six shutouts. She is physical, has a calming presence, and is expected to be more of a vocal leader in 2010. Nelson on keepers: “Kelsey had a great freshman year and has matured immensely. She looks more comfortable on that back line and is communicating more. She has all the tools needed to be successful at the po-sition. I’ve always said a good goalkeeper has to have a fearless mentality, exceptional confidence, be good with their feet, and obviously have good shot-stopping ability. In addition to all that potential, she also has the best reaction skills I’ve ever coached.” DEFENSEKey Returner (s): Michelle Alexander (Jr.), Lauren Alkek (Sr.) & Katharine Nutman (So.) - The trio provides OU with solid experience and leadership as Alexander and Alkek have two years starting at the position. Nutman, a late addition and member of England’s U-18 team, stepped in immediately last year and strengthened the back line. Key Newcomer: Carrie Whigham (Fr.) - The talented defender has been a member of the U.S. National Team since age 15 and recently captained the U-18 squad in Spain. Whigham has one of the deepest pedigrees of any soccer recruit in OU history. She will solidify an already experienced line. Nelson on defense: "One key for us this year on defense is that we return experience and have a freshman that has played at a very high level. The organization of our back line will be much better than last year in that we have two center backs that have played for their national teams. The defenders will have to be good one-versus-one and have a sound tactical understanding of the game. They will play major role in our style of play where attacking possession will be the focus.” MIDFIELDKey Returner (s): Tiana Dickson (Sr.), Dria Hampton (So.) & Jordan White (Jr.) - Another experienced group of player that features a combined 57 starts from last season, in addition to 13 points. Their ability to maintain possession will be key in 2010. Key Newcomer : Zoe Dickson (Fr.) - The youngest of three sisters to star in Crimson and Cream, Zoe joins sister Tiana in the midfield. Dickson’s oldest sister, Norelle, was a softball All-American in 2007. Zoe has participated in the U-15 and U-16 camps with the U.S National team. Nelson on midfield:“A midfielder has to have the ability to quickly transition from defense to offense and read what the game gives them. The players mentioned understand that we are a possession-oriented team. We return significant experience in the midfield with Dria leading that group. She has a tactical knowledge that is unique for a player her age and is surrounded by players in the midfield that have played at a high level. We have attackers that are a threat from both a play-making and scoring perspective. ” FORWARDSKey Returner (s): Sage Coralli (Jr.), Kelsey Kraft (Jr.)& Whitney Palmer (Sr.) - All three players give OU a balance at the forward position with speed, power and height. Palmer, an All-Big 12 preseason honoree, proved to be one of the best finishers in the nation last season. Key Newcomer: Caitlin Mooney (So .) - A transfer from Maryland with national team experience, Mooney was one of the state of Oklahoma’s top recruits in 2009. She gives OU an exciting duo to watch up top with Palmer. Nelson on forwards: "Our attack is going to be a lot more balanced, specifically with our forwards. We have balance in that we have speed to get behind defenses, the ability to play make and the ability to hold the ball. We expect Caitlin to add a unique sophistication to our attack. This combination, if executed well, is hard for an opponent to defend. “

Junior Kelsey Kraft (above) missed the final eight games of 2009 with a torn ACL. Her intensity and five points (two goals and one assist) return this season.

BIG 12 MEDIA RELATIONS The Big 12 Media Relations Office is located in Irving, Texas. Communications Intern Laura Rasmussen (lrasmussen@big12sports.com) serves as the soccer contact. The conference office number is (469) 524-1000 and the address is 400 East John Carpenter Freeway, Irving, Texas, 75062. The conference also maintains a Web site at www.big12sports.com.

2010 BIG 12 SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIPThe 2010 Big 12 Soccer Championship will take place on Nov. 3-7 at Blossom Soccer Stadium in San Antonio, Texas. This marks the 14th consecutive year that the University of Texas and San Antonio Sports Foundation will co-host the event at the venue. In 1996, the first league soccer championship was at the Anheuser-Busch Conference and Sports Centre in St. Louis, Mo.

The top eight teams based on conference results determined by a point system qualify for the Big 12 Championship. A squad gets three points for each confer-ence win and one point for each conference tie.

This season marks the 12th year that eight schools will participate in the league championship. For the first three years a six-team field was utilized for the post-season event. The winner of the Big 12 Championship receives the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas A&M are the only teams to have captured the conference postsea-son championship. BIG 12 CONFERENCE – A NATIONAL LEADER The Big 12 Conference, despite being one of the youngest conferences in America, will continue its position as a national leader in athletics and academics as it embarks on its 15th season in 2010-11.

Since it began play in 1996-97, the Conference can boast of 38 team crowns and 440 individual NCAA Championships. The success continued last year, as Oklahoma State won the NCAA men’s cross country title while Texas captured the national championship in men’s swimming & diving. Texas A&M maintained its place as the nation’s top outdoor track & field program, securing the NCAA crowns for both the men and women for the second consecutive year.

Big 12 squads continued to lead the nation in their respective sports as every single sport the Conference sponsors had at least one school ranked in the top six of the national rankings during the past campaign. In addition, nine different sports had the No. 1 team in the nation at some point during the 2009-10 season. During the past six seasons a total of 16 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in all but one year for the Conference, including each of the past 13 seasons. The Big 12 leads all conferences with its seven appearances in BCS title games. Seven league squads have played for the football national championship in the last 10 years with berths in 17 BCS games overall, including two each in 2007 and 2008. In the past two seasons, the Big 12 has had 16 players earn consensus All-America accolades. In basketball, nine men’s and six women’s teams have advanced to their respective Final Fours in the past eight seasons as the Big 12 continues its place among the elite intercollegiate athletic conferences. On the men’s side six different teams

have reached the regional finals in the past three seasons – the first time since 1985 that any conference can boast of six different teams doing so over a three-year period. The Big 12 has led the nation in women’s basketball attendance the past 11 seasons and surpassed its own NCAA record attendance mark in 2009-10. The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environ-ment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or within the community, the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and game officials support the highest ideals in sportsmanship. Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons. At the end of each academic year, the Conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Sportsperson of the Year awards. Institutions can also nominate student-athletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships at the end of each academic year. A total of 249 scholars have received over 1.6 million in postgraduate financial aid through the first 14 years of the program. The Big 12 sponsors 21 sports. Men’s squads include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, swimming & div-ing, tennis and wrestling. Women’s teams are fielded in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, soccer, softball, swim-ming, tennis and volleyball. The Conference is made up of 12 institutions that have shared many traditional rivalries throughout their histories. Member schools include - Baylor University, University of Colorado, Iowa State University, University of Kansas, Kansas State University, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, University of Texas, Texas A&M University and Texas Tech University. The institutions created a league that encompasses seven states, over 46 million people and television households in 18 of the top 100 markets within its geo-graphic footprint. The Conference conducts championships for 19 of its 21 sports. Each cham-pionship helps to determine teams and/or individuals that will represent the Conference in national postseason competition. The winner of the Big 12 football championship game earns the league’s berth into the Bowl Championship Series. In its first 14 years, the Conference has distributed more than $1.2 billion to its 12 member institutions. The Big 12 staff administers to over 4,600 student-athletes in its 21 sports. The conference office is headquartered in Irving, Texas.

THE UNIVERSITY SOONER HISTORY 2009 REVIEW THE SOONERS SOONER STAFF

Head coach Nicole Nelson enters her third year at the helm of the OU soccer program in 2010. The Sooners bring high expectations into this year’s campaign after doubling the win total from the previous season and returning 10 starters and 16 letterwinners. In addition, Oklahoma had a strong showing in the offseason with a 2-1-2 mark in the spring.

Whitney Palmer tallied 15 goals in 2009 and earned All-Big 12 honors for the third straight season. Palmer, who ranked in the top 15 nationally in goals and points, also earned all-region honors as the Sooners finished 7-10-2 and featured the program’s first win over perennial power, Texas A&M.

Seven Sooners were named to the 2009 Academic All-Big 12 teams and Michelle Alexander and Ashley Farrand were selected to ESPN the Magazine’s All-District VI Academic team.

In 2008, Palmer was named to the All-Big 12 second team while six Sooners were named to the conference’s academic first team. In addition, Claire West was named to ESPN the Magazine’s All-District VI Academic team.

While Nelson’s squads have racked up awards, the last two-plus years have also been high-lighted by strong recruiting classes, including 12 incoming freshmen this season and Caitlin Mooney, an Oklahoma native and sophomore transfer from Maryland.

Some of the nation’s top prep players have traveled to Norman since Nelson’s arrival as the 2010 roster includes six players with national team experience in the U.S.and England. In July, Nelson worked with as a U.S. Soccer Region III age group coach. She has been a member of the Olympic Development Program for Region III for the last nine years.

Nelson was introduced as the head soccer coach at the University of Oklahoma on Dec. 21, 2007, following a thorough national search. After an impressive three-year run as the head coach at Stephen F. Austin and successful stints as an assistant coach at Texas and Baylor, Nelson became the third head coach in the history of the program.

Throughout the nine years of her collegiate coaching career, Nelson’s teams have built an 91-72-23 record, including a 33-19-9 mark while at the helm of the Stephen F. Austin program from 2002-2004.

Nelson, a native of Yukon, Okla., who attended Mustang High School and graduated from Oklahoma City University in 1997, expressed her joy in returning home upon her hire.

“The commitment to excellence at Oklahoma is very

evident in the athletics administration’s support and the

quality of the new soccer facility. I am determined to make

winning championships a Sooner soccer tradition.”

SOONERSPORTS.COM - 15

“I am excited to return home to the state of Oklahoma to coach,” Nelson said. “Hav-ing grown up playing and coaching in this state, it is with tremendous pride that I accept this position.

“I am grateful for the opportunities that I had at Texas, Baylor and Stephen F. Austin as they prepared me for the work that lies ahead here at Oklahoma. “

During her two years as an assistant at Texas, Nelson worked with all aspects of running the program and helped coach a Longhorn team that won back-to-back postseason Big 12 Championships in 2006 and 2007.

In addition, Texas made consecutive appearances in the NCAA Sweet 16 during Nelson’s tenure, which also featured nine All-Big 12 honorees and three All-America honors.

The postseason run in 2006 was the Longhorns’ first conference tournament title and, after an appearance in the NCAA Sweet 16, Texas achieved the program’s highest final ranking at No. 8.

In addition, the 18 wins in 2006 was a program best and Texas also produced two All-Americans in a single season for the second time in program history.

In 2007, Texas finished with a 16-4-5 overall mark and a second-place finish in the Big 12 standings with a 6-2-2 record. Nelson again helped lead the Longhorns into elite status as they achieved a No. 1 ranking during the season, won the Big 12 Tournament Championship and appeared in the NCAA Sweet 16.

Nelson served as the recruiting coordinator at Texas, a position she also held as an assistant coach while at Baylor University in 2005.

Prior to her stint at Baylor, Nelson directed the Stephen F. Austin program to two Southland Conference Championships. In her second year at the helm, Nelson’s Ladyjacks won the conference tournament and made the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2003.

In 2004, SFA won the regular season Southland Championship and Nelson was named the conference coach of the year for the second consecutive season.

Nelson tutored 25 student-athletes who were named All-SLC over three seasons and left the Ladyjacks as the winningest coach in program history.

As a player, Nelson started every game and was the team captain in 1995, 1996 and 1997 at Oklahoma City University under Brian Harvey. Nelson was a three-time All-Sooner Athletic Conference member and Academic All-American.

She began her collegiate career at Texas A&M University as a freshman and concluded it at OCU as an All-American (honorable mention).

Before she started her career in coaching, Nelson played professional soccer for the Austin Lonestars (W-League).

Following that stint, she worked with numerous clubs and camps before taking her first position in the collegiate ranks as a volunteer assistant at her alma mater in 2000-01.

Nelson earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and as a bachelor of arts degree in Spanish in 1997 at Oklahoma City University. She received her master’s degree in kinesiology from Stephen F. Austin in May 2005.

had another year to play.”

What are your expectations for the 2010 season? Can the program return to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2003? “Our expectations going into any season is to win a championship. We try to stay focused on just getting better every day, competing in everything we do and enjoying the process. I think this team has the potential to be very good, including competing in the NCAA tournament. We have a great balance of experience, talent and the chemistry to be successful.”

What does it mean to have up to 10 starters and 16 letterwinners returning? “One of the things I enjoy most about having experienced players is that they understand the expectations on and off the field. They help teach the core principles of the program and we see the affect of those principles displayed in our newcomers. On the field, things are run more efficient from warm-up to cool-down, so the coaches are able to focus more on teaching.”

What do you expect from this large and talented freshmen class? “This incoming class has experienced a lot of success at their respective levels. One of the most exciting things about the newcomers is their willingness to compete. They will not only give us a depth we have been lacking, but also push the standard day in and day out. “

What are your thoughts on playing a second Bedlam game in the regular season? “I think the Bedlam Series is one of the exciting rivalries in college athletics. The additional game should continue to grow the fan base for our universi-ties and our sport. Oklahoma State is a well respected program that has experienced significant success over the past few years, so it’s a great game from an RPI standpoint.”

How has the new coaching staff adjusted this offseason?- “The transition with this staff could not have been more seamless. They are both very driven individuals and passionate to be representing the Univer-sity of Oklahoma. Given George’s (Van Linder) experience and success as a head coach, he made an immediate contribution as expected. In addition, Trae (Manny) has exceeded my expectations in every area. “

6What is the update on the overall health of the team? In particular, Kelsey Kraft and Sage Coralli who were lost in 2009 with torn ACLs? “The girls have worked very hard rehabilitating and re-conditioning their bodies and are excited to get back into action. We expect everyone to be 100 percent as we get into the competitive season.”

COACH NELSON Q&A

18 - 2010 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

George Van Linder was named associate head coach of the University of Oklahoma soc-cer program on February 10, 2010. Sooners’ head coach Nicole Nelson welcomed Van Linder and his 15 years of head coaching experience on the DI level to Norman.

“It is a unique opportunity to be able to add someone I consider a mentor to my staff,” Nelson said. “Having worked with George at Baylor, I know that his personality is a great compliment to mine. He has an incredible soccer mind, perfectly fits the defini-tion of a `players coach,’ and will bring an energy to our program that in invaluable.”

Van Linder, who spent the last two years as the head coach at Stephen F. Austin, also has extensive experience in the Big 12 Conference after serving as the head coach during five seasons (2003-2007) at Baylor University. In Waco, he worked with Nelson during the 2005 campaign.

The Galeburg, Mich. native, has compiled a 134-107-22 record in 15 years as a colle-giate head coach and hauled in recruiting classes that were ranked nationally on eight occasions. Also in that time, he coached 53 all-conference honorees and was twice named a conference coach of the year (1996 at Butler and 2000 at SMU).

During the last two years, Van Linder’s clubs at Stephen F. Austin were a combined 19-15-4, and set several program records while advancing to the conference tournament on two occasions, including a second place regular season finish in 2008.

Prior to the stint in Nacogdoches, Van Linder logged five seasons as the head coach at Baylor. He led the Bears to a 2006 trip to the Big 12 Tournament, a program first since 2001. His time in Waco produced four all-conference honors, including Ashley Noah who was chosen for the U-20 U.S. National team, and 41 Academic All-Big 12 honorees.

At SMU, Van Linder posted a 59-21-10 in four seasons at the helm and guided the Mustangs to four straight Western Athletic Conference regular-season championships. In 1999, SMU reached the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament, one of three postseason appearances. In all three of the NCAA Tournaments, the Mustangs won their first round game and also finished the season ranked in the top 25. The coach was named WAC Coach of the Year in 2000 and earned the Dallas Morning News Coach of the Year award in `99.

He started his collegiate head coaching career in 1996, when he took over the women’s program at Butler after serving three years as an assistant for the men’s team. The Bulldogs were 34-26-1 under Van Linder’s direction and finished two of three seasons ranked in the national polls. Butler reached the championship game of the conference tournament all three years under Van Linder and was crowned the regular-season and tournament champions in 1996.

“I am impressed with the foundation that Coach Nelson

has laid down and the plan in place to guide this team to

the championship level in the Big 12. It’s a thrill to be a

part of an incredible athletic department like OU.”

The University of Oklahoma head soccer coach Nicole Nelson announced the hiring of Trae Manny to the program on March 9, 2010. Manny comes to Oklahoma after serving as the goalkeepers’ coach at Stephen F. Austin the past two seasons.

“After an exhaustive search, that included a number of very qualified candidates, I realized Trae Manny is the perfect addition to our staff,” said Nelson. “He has played at a high level, is very respected as a goalkeeper coach, has learned from some very respected mentors, and is hungry to continue evolving.”

A former collegiate goalkeeper himself at the University of Louisville, Manny will be reunited with George Van Linder, the current associate head coach at Oklahoma. Manny and Van Linder worked the last two seasons together at Stephen F. Austin where the program compiled a 19-15-4 mark, set several program records, advanced to the conference tournament on two occasions, and recorded a second place regular season finish in 2008.

“It is an honor to join Coach Nelson’s staff,” said Manny. “Her work through the past two years has prepared OU to step into the spotlight as an elite team in women’s college soccer. I am excited to work with her and Coach Van Linder to push this program to the next level. With the support of the best athletic department in the country, the potential of Sooner soccer is limitless.”

Manny’s primary responsibility will rest in coaching the Sooner goalkeepers, but he will also be involved in all aspects of the program’s daily operations.

A former administrative assistant in the athletic department’s NCAA compliance office at Louisville, Manny brings more than just coaching experience to OU. While gaining a better understanding of the bylaws of the NCAA, Manny also developed a compli-ance handbook for use by strength and conditioning coaches in the Louisville strength program.

“His passion for coaching and ambitious approach to everything he does is unique,” added Nelson.

At Stephen F. Austin, Manny’s goalkeepers combined to record 13 shutouts in two years while posting a 1.57 goals-against average in 2009 and a 1.14 average in 2008. In 2008, SFA’s starting goalkeeper recorded a 500-plus minute scoreless streak which produced a 0.84 GAA in conference play.

Outside of the collegiate ranks, Manny has worked on the club and Olympics Develop-ment level and as a staff member of Joe Machnik’s No. 1 Soccer Camp in Charleston, SC, since 2004. In addition to working as a coach, he served as the intern program director

“Coach Nelson’s work through the past two years has prepared

David L. Boren, who has served Oklahoma as governor and U.S. senator, became the thirteenth president of the Univer-sity of Oklahoma in November 1994. He is the first person in state history to have served in all three positions.

Boren is widely respected for his academic credentials, his longtime support of education, and for his distinguished po-litical career as a reformer of the American political system. A graduate of Yale University in 1963, Boren majored in Ameri-can history, graduated in the top one percent of his class and was elected Phi Beta Kappa. He was selected as a Rhodes Scholar and earned a master’s degree in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford University, England, in 1965.

In 1968, he received a law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, where he was on the Law Review, elected to the Order of the Coif, and won the Bledsoe Prize as the outstanding graduate by a vote of the faculty.

As Oklahoma’s governor from 1974 through 1978, Boren pro-moted key educational initiatives that have had an enduring impact on Oklahoma. Established during his tenure were the Oklahoma Arts Institute, the Scholar-Leadership Enrichment Program, and the Oklahoma Physicians Manpower Training Program, which provides scholarships for medical students and medical personnel who commit to practice in under-served rural areas. Also, the first state funding for Gifted and Talented classes was provided in 1976 and, from 1976 through 1978, Oklahoma ranked first among all states in the percentage increases of funding for higher education.

One of Boren’s most far-reaching projects in promoting quality education at all levels is the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, which he founded in 1985. The foundation recognizes outstanding public school students and teachers and helps establish private local foundations to help give academic endowment grants to local public schools. As a senator, he was the author of the National Security Education Act in 1992, which provides scholarships for study abroad and for learning additional languages, as well as legislation to re-store the tax deductibility of gifts of appreciated property to universities in 1993.

Boren, also a former state legislator, spent nearly three de-cades in elective politics before becoming the president of the University of Oklahoma. Boren was the youngest gover-nor in the nation when he served from 1974 to 1978. Known as a reformer, Boren campaigned with a broom as his symbol. During his term, he instituted many progressive programs, including conflict-of-interest rules, campaign-financing disclosure, stronger open meeting laws for public bodies, more competitive bidding on state government contracts, and reform of the state’s prison system, including expanded education programs for first-time offenders and the largest expansion of the work-release program in state history.

During his time in the U.S. Senate from 1979 to 1994, Boren served on the Senate Finance and Agriculture Committees and was the longest-serving chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. From his days as a state legisla-tor and governor of Oklahoma to Washington, Boren carried a commitment to reform, leading numerous efforts to make government work better for American citizens. As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he strengthened over-sight of secret government programs and reformed the pro-cedures for Presidential notice of such programs to Congress.

For more than 10 years, he led the fight for congressional campaign finance reform and for legislation discouraging administration and congressional staff from cashing in on government experience and contacts by becoming lobby-ists. In addition, he introduced legislation seeking to limit gifts and travel subsidies that government workers, includ-ing members of Congress, can receive from lobbyists. Boren also chaired the special 1992-93 Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress, which produced proposals to make Congress more efficient and responsive by streamlining con-gressional bureaucracy, reducing staff sizes and reforming procedures to end legislative gridlock.

Boren left the U.S. Senate in 1994 with an approval rating of 9l percent after being reelected with 83 percent of the vote in 1990, the highest percentage in the nation in a U.S. Senate contest in that election year.

Boren served from 1988 to 1997 as a member of the Yale University Board of Trustees. His university experience also includes four years on the faculty of Oklahoma Baptist Uni-versity, where he was chairman of the Department of Political Science and chairman of the Division of Social Sciences. In 1993, the American Association of University Professors pre-sented Boren with the Henry Yost Award as Education Advo-cate of the Year.

In April 2004, Boren received the Mory’s Cup from the Mory’s Association at Yale University. In making the presentation to Boren it was noted that he was the first Yale graduate in the university’s history extending over three centuries to have served as a Governor, U.S. Senator and President of a major university.

Under Boren’s leadership, the University of Oklahoma has developed and emerged as a “pacesetter university in Ameri-can public higher education,” with 20 major new programs initiated since his inauguration. They include establishment of the Joe C. and Carole Kerr McClendon Honors College, the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West, a new expository writing program for freshmen mod-eled on the program at Harvard, an interdisciplinary religious studies program, the Artist-in-Residence Program, the In-ternational Programs Center, and the Faculty-in-Residence

Program putting faculty family apartments in student resi-dence halls. The Retired Professors Program has been started, bringing 50 retired full professors back to the University to teach freshmen.

The number of new facilities started or completed on the campus during the Boren years has matched the explosion in new programs. Since 1994, almost $1.9 billion in construc-tion projects have been completed or are under way on OU’s three campuses. Among the largest of the recent projects are the $67 million National Weather Center on OU’s Norman campus, the $90 million OU Cancer Institute on OU’s Health Sciences Center campus in Oklahoma City and the $35 million OU-Tulsa Schusterman Center Clinic .

Presidential Travel Scholarships, students from 111 countries on campus, more reciprocal international exchange agree-ments than any other university and the new International Programs Center are all making OU more international. The new Honors College helps to assure that no students need to leave Oklahoma to find an educational experience to match their potential.

In 1995, Boren launched the “Reach for Excellence” fundrais-ing campaign with a five-year goal of $200 million, which was twice as large as any fundraising drive in Oklahoma history. The drive exceeded $500 million, raising OU into the top 15 public universities in the United States in private endowment per capita. Since 1994, endowed professorships have increased from 100 to 557 and the OU donor base has grown from 18,000 to more than 125,000 friends and alumni. During the first 10 years of Boren’s tenure over $1 billion in private gifts were donated to the university.

Above all, the Boren years have been marked by an emphasis on putting students first. There is not a university president in the country that is more committed to students as his number one priority. He teaches a freshman-level course in political science each semester and is one of the few presi-dents of major universities to teach.

Boren is married to Molly Shi Boren, a former judge and English teacher. Mrs. Boren is President Emeritus of the Okla-homa Arts Institute, which provides education programs in nine arts disciplines for high school students from across the state who are gifted in the arts. Molly Boren has two degrees from the University of Oklahoma, a master’s degree in English and a Juris Doctorate from the OU College of Law. A native of Seminole, Boren has two children, Carrie Christine Boren, an Episcopal minister, and David Daniel Boren, a member of the United States Congress from Oklahoma. Devoting much of his life to public service, Boren drew from the example of his parents, the late Congressman Lyle H. Boren and Christine Boren.

DAVID L. BOREN University President

13th President at Oklahoma

22 - 2010 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

SOONER STAFF administration

Excellence is a word that is often overused yet, when The University of Oklahoma is mentioned with the word excellence, the meaning comes through. From one of the best universities in the nation to a department of intercollegiate athletics that is second to none, excellence is the norm. As successful at the last 10 years have been, on campus and in competition, a new standard has been set and leading that effort is Joe Castiglione, the Sooner AD since 1998.

Castiglione’s Sooner team has created a place where competitive dreams come true and academic goals are the expectations, not the exceptions. Through his leadership and the support of the University’s administration, there is a department-wide commitment, involving student-athletes, coaches and staff, to that standard.

With the support of OU President David L. Boren and OU’s seven-member Board of Regents and Castiglione’s leadership, the OU athletics department represents a climate that creates lofty goals, high standards and a commitment to ethical behavior that is second to none.

For Castiglione, though, it’s not just about the championships and trophies. The victories that he celebrates with his Sooners include graduation rates that continue to climb, record-setting grade point averages and academic honors. The true measure of achievement for Castiglione and, by extension, the department’s coaches and staff, is measured in the success of the student-athletes in relation to the department’s mission statement “Inspiring champions today … Preparing leaders for tomorrow”

Since arriving at OU in 1998 after an outstanding administrative career at Missouri, Castiglione has seen the Sooners finish in the top 30 of the Learfield Director’s Cup in 10 of the last 12 years. OU finished 12th after the 2009-10 academic year, a position that marked an all-time best performance in the annual ranking of programs that succeed across the board. Through his insistence that daily and long-term decisions be made in a financially responsible manner, the department has closed the books in the black in each of the last 12 years. His understanding of how the department fits into the University’s academic mission led to a decision in June 2009 to increase the direct support provided by the department on an annual basis to $4 million dollars. Through direct and indirect support, OU Athletics, under Castiglione’s leadership, provides more than $7 million annually to OU’s Academics Budget.

The 11th director of athletics in University of Oklahoma history, Castiglione is quick to give full credit to the student-athletes and coaches, the staff, OU President David

L. Boren, the OU Board of Regents, the donors and the fans for the success experienced during his tenure. It was that commitment to a team approach emphasis that was one of the many qualities that that the search committee recognized when they recommended Castiglione to university administration in 1998.

In recognition of the performance of OU’s teams on the field and in the classroom, of the fiscal stability created during his tenure, the dramatic increases in donor giving, facility construction and renovations, and the cutting-edge programs that the department has begun during his tenure, Castiglione was named National Athletic Director of the Year in May 2009 by the Sports Business Journal.

That award was one of several earned by Castiglione and the department. The 2007 PRISM Award winner, presented by the School of Sports Management at the University of Massachusetts, OU was just the second Division I winner and all of the programs recognized by the selection panel were started under Castiglione’s leadership with the full support of university administration.

His peers have honored him for the department’s achievements as well. In October 2004, the Bobby Dodd Foundation named him Athletics Director of the Year. In 2003, he was inducted into the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators Hall of Fame. In June 2001, he received the General Robert R. Neyland Athletic Director Award for lifetime achievement from the All-American Football Foundation. The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) named him Central Region AD of the Year in 2000.

The achievement that may bring him the most pride, though, came in May 2007 when he completed his master’s of education degree from OU. To understand the need for education and lifelong learning, OU’s student-athletes just have to look at their AD who started and completed his master’s degree while running the department and maintaining his priorities to his family. He quickly put his experience to use as an adjunct professor in the College of Education, teaching graduate classes in Marketing Development and Leadership in Higher Education.

Castiglione was instrumental in the athletics department’s major campaign, Great Expectations: The Campaign For Sooner Sports. The campaign ended in November of 2003 with more than $125 million raised. The figure has grown to more than $220 million since then as funds continue to be raised for facility improvements and scholarship endowments. The largest fund-raising effort in OU athletics

history includes projects that impact each of OU’s nearly 500 student-athletes and has become a national model for intercollegiate athletics.

Hired on April 30, 1998, Castiglione joined the Sooner family after serving as athletics director at Missouri. In his 17-year career with the Tigers, Castiglione, who was named director of athletics at Missouri on Dec. 15, 1993, was credited with rebuilding sports programs, hiring outstanding coaches, implementing an innovative master plan for facilities, inspiring record-setting increases in fund-raising and balancing the budget in each of his five years as athletics director.

A 1979 Maryland graduate, Castiglione received the University’s Distinguished Alumnus Award in April 2007. He began his career as the sports promotions director at Rice. He then worked a year as director of athletic fund-raising at Georgetown before being hired in 1981 at Missouri as director of communications and marketing.

His commitment to the success of student-athletes has gone beyond the Norman campus and he has served at national and conference level. He chairs the NCAA’s Football Academic Progress Rate (APR) Working Group and is currently serving on the Gatorade Collegiate Advisory Board and the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Board of Directors. He served two previous terms and is the current chair of the Big 12 Board of Athletics Directors and is a past president of both the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association and NACDA. He served a four-year term on the NCAA Championship/Competition Cabinet and the NCAA Baseball Committee and is a past member of the NCAA Football Special Events Certification Committee. He recently served on the NCAA Diversity Leadership Strategic Planning Committee and the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Discussion Group. A member of the Phi Delta Theta Foundation Board of Trustees, he is a highly requested speaker at annual conventions and continuing education institutes.

His involvement in the local community has led to service with civic clubs, churches and charities, including the United Way of Norman. Castiglione served his third term as OU’s campus co-chair this past year, which resulted in the highest recorded contributions ever by faculty, staff and students to the United Way of Norman’s annual campaign.

A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Castiglione is married to the former Kristen Bartel, a 1990 graduate of the University of Missouri. They are the parents of two sons, Joseph Robert, Jr. and Jonathan Edmund.

SOONER STAFF THE SOONERS THE UNIVERSITY SOONER HISTORY 2009 REVIEW

2009 SEASON REVIEW notes and highlights

SOONERS FINISH INJURY-PLAGUED SEASON AT 7-10-2 The University of Oklahoma soccer team finished 2009 at 7-10-2 overall and doubled the win total from a year ago under second year head coach Nicole Nelson. The Sooners finished 10th in the Big 12 with a 2-7-1 mark.

Despite the finish to the season, Coach Nelson saw the Sooners compete with some of the top teams in the country, including a 3-2 win over then-No. 13 Texas A&M, which advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16. The Sooners were 0-14 in the series prior to the meeting. “We are obviously disappointed anytime we do not make the postseason,” said Nelson. “Our goal is not only to be in the postseason (Big 12), but to go deep in the NCAA Tournament. We are disappointed in the overall finish but I feel very confident in the strides we made this year. “We won some big games and we were able to play at a high level against some of the top teams in the nation in USC, beating Texas A&M at home and LSU to name a few. I think the experience we got from playing those teams and winning a couple of those was big for our program.” The Sooners started off the 2009 campaign undefeated in the first four games with a 3-0-1 mark, but season-ending injuries to Sage Coralli and Kelsey Kraft, among others, led to a lack of experience on the field as several freshmen saw playing time. Overall, seven freshmen started at some point throughout the season, including up to six in the final games down the stretch.

“We had a lot of young players receiving invaluable minutes,” added Nelson. “We had as many as six freshmen starting for us. The minutes that those girls played were invaluable. We are excited about the development we have made as a team and look forward to playing another full season with them. I feel very confident about the future and what it holds.” PALMER NAMED TO ALL-BIG 12 FIRST TEAMFollowing her All-Big 12 selection in 2009,Whitney Palmer became the first Sooner selected to the first team since Lauren MacIver in 2005. She is also one of three Sooners in program history to be named to the all-conference team in three separate seasons after collecting second team honors in 2008 and honorable mention in 2007.

PALMER RANKS TOP 15 IN NCAA IN GOALS SCOREDAt the end of the regular season, Whitney Palmer ranked eighth in the country with 15 goals, the highest total for a Sooner in a single season (13 - Logan Womack – 2001). Her 32 points ranked 16th in the nation. Palmer already is among the program’s most prolific goal scorers in OU history after her junior season, ranking in the top five of 11 different offensive categories, including second place with 29 career goals and 61 points. Earlier in 2009 against Tulsa, she became just the second player in school history to record a hat trick and also tied a single game record with two assists against Sam Houston St. PAIR VOTED ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT Ashley Farrand was named to the Academic All-District first team while Michelle Alexander was selected to the third team. The awards are career firsts for Farrand and Alexander and marks the seventh consecutive season that at least one OU soccer player was named to the Academic All-District team. In addition, it is the fourth such occasion with multiple Sooners honored.

The 3-2 win over then-No. 13 Texas A&M on Sept.. 27, 2009 was the first OU in 15 all-time series meetings. It snapped an 11-game skid for OU against ranked foes with the last win over No. 20 Texas on Sept. 25, 2005.

The legaCy of prenTiCe gaUTTThe OU Academics Center that today’s student-athletes use everyday now bears the name of the man who left an indelible legacy for Sooner Athletics and helped change a society in the process.

“It is appropriate that this center be named after Prentice Gautt,” University of Oklahoma President David L. Boren said. “His personal values and character, along with his leadership as associate commissioner of the Big 12 Conference, continue to bring pride to his alma mater.

“His personal example of quiet courage, grace under pressure, and dedication to the uni-versity helped open the doors of opportunity for countless number of African-American and minority student-athletes who have followed him into collegiate athletics.”

THE PATH TO GRADUATION STARTS HERE In the 1950s, he came to OU to play football, and, in the process, broke down barriers and crushed stereotypes. Today, OU student-athletes use the Prentice Gautt Academic Center to break another kind of stereotype. The center that today’s student-athletes use everyday now bears the name of the man who left an indel-ible legacy for Sooner Athletics and helped change a society in the process.

The formal dedication of the Prentice Gautt Academic Center was held Friday, Sept. 17, 1999. The proposal to re-name the center was approved by the OU Board of Regents in March 1999.

“It is appropriate that this center be named after Prentice Gautt,” OU President David L. Boren said. “His personal values and character, along with his leadership as associate commissioner of the Big 12 Conference, continue to bring pride to his alma mater. His personal example of quiet courage, grace under pressure, and dedication to the university helped open the doors of opportunity for countless number of African-American and minority student-athletes who have followed him into collegiate athletics.”

The professional consultants of the Prentice Gautt Academic Center help student-athletes with a variety of academic tasks, from learning strategy instruction to any stage of the writing process including preparing for an essay exam and the formal research paper. The goal is to help student-athletes develop the strategies they need to be successful by encouraging the use of the center for all facets of the learning and writing processes encountered in college.

The Prentice Gautt Academic Center provides student-athletes with a state-of-the-art academic support facility. The environment encourages a collaboration between staff members and student-athletes. In addition, it is highly conducive to learning in all areas of students’ academic endeavors and features seven learning centers.

Located on the second and third floors in the north end of the Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, the Academic Center houses Academic Counseling offices, and Learning and Skill Development centers including the Kerr Foundation Computer Center, the Thompson Writing Center and centers for communication, reading, study skills, math and foreign language as well as learning enhancement and study areas.

Individual training sessions are available to each student and lab technicians are always on hand to help.

THE UNIVERSITY athletics excellence

84 - 2010 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

The University of Oklahoma athletics program boasts a tradition that few schools can rival. Over the years, Sooner squads have combined for 26 team national champion-ships including eight in men’s gymnastics, seven in foot-ball, seven in wrestling, two in baseball, one in men’s golf and one in softball.

The Sooner tradition isn’t something buried in the past. It inspires OU’s student-athletes to greater heights every season. In 2008-09, the Sooner football team competed in its sixth BCS bowl in just seven years and, in 2008, the men’s gymnastics team earned its fifth national title in seven seasons. In 2002, the Sooner men’s and women’s basketball teams carved their spot in history by advanc-ing to the NCAA Final Four -- only the third time in NCAA history a school accomplished the feat with both teams in the same year. The OU women added two more Final Four appearances in 2009 and 2010, becoming one of only eight programs in NCAA history to reach back-to-back Final Fours.

Even more remarkable, during the 2008-2009 season, the OU football and men’s and women’s basketball teams combined for 74 wins – tying the most ever for those three sports by a Division I school in a single season. In 2008-2009, OU went 12-2 in football, 30-6 in men’s basketball and 32-5 in women’s basketball. The 74-win mark was previously set during the 2001-2002 season by none other than the Oklahoma Sooners. The University of Oklahoma now stands alone in college sports’ 30-30-10 club, created exclusively by OU.

Oklahoma’s student-athletes continue to lead in the class-room and their actions in the community are exemplary. With the Great Expectations campaign, Oklahoma contin-ues to build the finest facilities in the nation.

Each day, it becomes more evident that the University of Oklahoma has become one of the finest comprehensive athletics program in the country. When OU student-ath-letes raise the trophy of another championship, the hands responsible for hoisting that trophy symbolize thousands of Sooners around the globe.

The following represents a closer look at the tradition powering the Oklahoma Sooners:

• Oklahoma was playing football before it was a state. It’s only one of two Division I football programs to win seven or more national championships. And OU is the only Division I football program ever to record 47 straight victories.

• With Sam Bradford at No. 1, Gerald McCoy at No. 3 and Trent Williams at No. 4, Oklahoma became the first school ever to supply three of the first four NFL Draft picks in 2010. 2010 also marked only the second time that one school has produced the top pick in consecutive NBA (OU’s Blake Griffin went first in the 2009 hoops draft) and NFL Drafts.

• Oklahoma gymnastics great Bart Conner won two NCAA all-around crowns and led the Sooners to two NCAA titles in 1977 and 1978. A three-time Olympian (1976, ‘80, ‘84), Conner won two gold medals in 1984. He was instrumen-tal in the foundation of the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City.

• Oklahoma defeated UCLA in the 2000 Women’s College World Series to capture the school’s first softball national championship. The Sooners won 66 games, broke 15 school records, had four All-Americans, the WCWS Most Outstanding Player, three WCWS all-tournament team members, a Big 12 title, a No. 1 ranking and the National Coaching Staff of the Year. The Sooners became just the second non-West Coast team in NCAA history to win a softball national championship.

• The OU men’s basketball team has competed in 27 postseason tournaments in the last 29 years. In 2009 OU produced its 32nd winning season in the last 34 years. No other Big 12 team can boast as many winning campaigns in the span.

• Sooner football has accumulated seven national cham-pionships, 42 conference titles, 25 bowl championships, 150 All-Americans and had 346 players drafted by the NFL, including 41 first-round selections and four No. 1 picks: Lee Roy Selmon (1976), Billy Sims (1980), Brian Bosworth (1987—supplemental) and Sam Bradford (2010).

• Oklahoma’s storied wrestling program has amassed 23 conference titles and seven national championships. OU has produced 257 All-Americans and its 65 individual national champions ranks third all-time.

• The OU women’s basketball team advanced to its third overall and second-consecutive Final Four in 2010 after playing the nation’s toughest schedule. OU at some point, played all four No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Championship and 13 teams ranked in the final top 25.

conference media observers and officials. Tisdale’s No. 23 jersey was retired by Oklahoma in 1997 -- the first jersey ever retired by OU in any sport.

• Sooner basketball great Stacey Dales graduated as the most decorated player in the program’s history in 2002. She was the WNBA’s third overall draft pick by the Washington Mystics. In addition to leading OU to the 2002 national championship game, Dales was a two-time con-sensus All-American, two-time Big 12 Player of the Year, four-time Academic All-Big 12 selection, and two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American.

THE UNIVERSITY tradition and spirit

some of The mosT reCognizeD TraDiTions in College aThleTiCs The University of Oklahoma has a long and storied history. The rich tradition has given birth to some of the most recognized pageantry in all of college athletics. Here is a look at the origin of some of the elements that create the wonderful atmosphere so unique to OU:

soonersCollege sports fans are hard-pressed to find a nickname that is as unique and as tied in to a state’s history as a Sooner. The University of Oklahoma is the only school known as Sooners and those who claim that they are Sooners say it with pride.

The Oklahoma Territory opened with the Land Run of 1889. Settlers from across the globe, seeking free land, made their way to the prairies of the plains to stake their claim. One of the few rules to claiming a lot of land was that all participants were to start at the same time, on the boom of a cannon. All settlers who started then were labeled as “Boomers” and the ones who went early were called “Sooners.”

OU athletic teams were called either Rough Riders or Boomers for 10 years before the current Sooner nickname emerged in 1908. The university actually derived its name from a pep club called “The Sooner Rooters.” The success of University of Oklahoma athletics teams over the years has made the nickname synonymous with winning. Boomer soonerOne of the most recognizable college fight songs in the country, Boomer Sooner immediately evokes enthusiasm from OU fans and sends chills down the spines of those who dare to oppose them.

In 1905, Arthur M. Alden, a student in history and physiology whose father was a Norman jeweler, wrote the lyrics to the fight song, borrowing the tune from Yale University’s Boola Boola but improvising the words. A year later, an addition was

made to it from North Carolina’s I’m a Tarheel Born and the two combined to form today’s university fight song. Though the tune was first made known by Yale, the everlasting success of Sooner squads has taken the melody of Boomer Sooner to national popularity.

Boomer Sooner, Boomer SoonerBoomer Sooner, Boomer SoonerBoomer Sooner, Boomer SoonerBoomer Sooner, OK U!Oklahoma, OklahomaOklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, OklahomaOklahoma, OK U!I’m a Sooner born and Sooner bredand when I die, I’ll be Sooner deadRah Oklahoma, Rah OklahomaRah Oklahoma, OK U!

mascotsThe Sooner Schooner is a Conestoga, or covered wagon, reminiscent of the mode of travel used by pioneers who settled Oklahoma. The Schooner is powered by matching white ponies named Boomer and Sooner, and it ventures onto Owen Field in a triumphant victory ride after OU scores. Although the Schooner was introduced in 1964, it did not become the official mascot until 1980. The Schooner is well-recognized by college athletics fans across the country and makes regular appearances at university functions.

During OU football and baseball games from 1915-1928, Mex the Dog wore a red sweater with a letter “O” on the side. Mex died of old age on April 30, 1928, and he was so popular among students and faculty that the university closed for his funeral and procession on May 2, 1928.

SOONERSPORTS.COM - 87

In the fall of 2005, the OU Athletics Deparment introduced costumed mascots. The new characters will act as an extension of the Sooner Schooner and its horses to be enjoyed by fans -- especially children -- at all OU athletics contests. The costumes feature traditional collegiate gear as part of their regular uniform, but will don team uniforms for football and men’s and women’s basketball. They were voted “Most Collegiate” by the Universal Cheerleading Association (UCA).

Crimson and CreamIn the fall of 1895, Miss May Overstreet, the only woman on the faculty, was asked to chair a committee to select the colors of the university. The committee decided the colors should be crimson and cream and an elaborate display of the colors was draped above a platform before the student body.

The student body approved with great enthusiasm and immediately pennants, banners, badges and decorations of every description appeared on the streets, in the windows, at chapel, in classrooms, and all public places; however, local merchants could not supply the demand.

Even though the school colors have evolved to red and white over the years, you can ask any self-respecting Sooner what the colors are and they will proudly announce “Crimson and Cream.”

On gamedays, a sea of crimson rolls through OU’s home venues and all Sooners are urged to wear the official colors to show the rest of the country what school spirit and Sooner Pride is all about.

pride of oklahomaThe Pride of Oklahoma Marching Band has been supporting Sooner Spirit for more than a century. Unlike many other college bands, which began as military drill units, the Pride of Oklahoma had its beginnings as a pep band.

In the early years of the 1900s, both townspeople of Norman and students of OU participated in a band that played for football games. Professor John Merrill started the first band in 1901, which was composed mostly of townspeople and disbanded after each football season. Lloyd Curtis, a cornetist, founded the first continuous student band in 1904.

Today, the 300-member Pride of Oklahoma has members representing virtually every college and major on campus. The Pride of Oklahoma stands for excellence in musicianship, academics, school spirit, and commitment to our role in the surrounding community. Boomer Sooner rings out at the end of each rehearsal, and that song is the defining element of the University of Oklahoma. Maybe that is why Sooner fans love the band so much. Not much can compare to the first “go-go” at a football game when the Pride of Oklahoma marches the interlocking OU down the

field playing Boomer Sooner.

oU ChantThe OU Chant is a loyalty song that is sung before every home football game, before and after every men’s and women’s basketball games and at the end of many athletic and university functions.

Every fan who wears the official colors, each current student and student-athlete and all OU alumni are encouraged to stand and raise one finger in the air during the playing of the Chant -- a symbolic gesture that shows those who do not know what it means to be a Sooner, the greatness of the university and the unity between all Sooners.

The Chant was written in 1936 by Jessie Lone Clarkson Gilkey, who directed the OU girl’s glee club from 1936 to 1938 and was voted Outstanding Faculty Woman in 1937.

O-K-L-A-H-O-M-AOur chant rolls on and on!Thousands strongJoin heart and songIn alma mater’s praiseOf campus beautiful by day and nightOf colors proudly gleaming Red and White‘Neath a western skyOU’s chant will never die.Live on University!

THE UNIVERSITY community service

sUpporTing The CommUniTy ThaT sUpporTs oU OU lives by a clear and strong motto in dealing with its student-athletes...Inspiring Champions for Today, Preparing Leaders for Tomorrow. To fulfill that promise, the athletics department and student-athletes take an active role in a number of community service projects. Sooner student-athletes are exposed to life outside of sports and school work with opportunities to serve and help others.

The Student Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes from all 21 intercollegiate athletic teams at the University of Oklahoma. The group coordinates community service programs for the Sooners each month.

“Giving back is something that benefits us as much as those we’re helping,” says OU head softball coach Patty Gasso. “It brings us back to reality and makes us real-ize that there is more to life than collegiate softball. I feel it’s our duty to help out because of the role we’re in as a Division I softball program.”

The University of Oklahoma men’s golf program has held an annual Clubs for Kids event in early May at the Lakeview Golf Course in Ardmore, Okla. Providing clubs and instruction, the event allows more than 1,000 southeastern Oklahoma youth an opportunity to interact with the OU golf team and coaches.

Oklahoma women’s basketball teams have been extremely active in the com-munity since head coach Sherri Coale’s arrival in 1996. In addition to projects with the United Way, Coaches vs. Cancer, Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity and the Children’s Miracle Network, Coale implemented the Sooner Big Sis Program which places women’s basketball players at elementary schools in Norman to serve as mentors and teachers’ aides.

“I want our student-athletes to learn through their experience here,” says Coale, “how important it is to volunteer to be a part of whatever community they decide to reside in when their playing days are over.”

Oklahoma’s student-athletes recognize that wearing the Crimson and Cream means representing a popular sports program and themselves as individuals. They are encouraged to respond to a public that adores them, while learning important lessons about making a positive impact in the lives of others and in the commu-nity in which they live.

Community service events for OU student-athletes from the past year included:• Women’s basketball players and coaches visited the Children’s Hospital in Oklahoma City and participated in the Sooner Big Sis Program, an event in which each student-athlete selects a Norman elementary school class and visits the class weekly for an hour.

• The Oklahoma baseball team annually attends Willow Springs Boys Ranch to spend time with children and host a barbeque, in addition to visiting the “Miracle League” in Edmond and working with children at local elementary schools.

• The OU men’s gymnastics team participated in Adopt-An-Angel, Safe Trick-Or-Treat and volunteered at various elementary schools in the Norman area. The team earned the Volunteer of the Year award by the Norman United Way and Junior League of Norman. for its work at Norman’s Cleveland Elementary School. • The OU Athletics Department participated in “Think if You Drink,” a community campaign to help promote safe and responsible drinking among student-athletes and students on campus.

• The football program participated in Special Spectators for children with terminal illnesses by visiting and playing with the children.

• OU student-athletes and coaches made contact with more than 1,000 Norman Public Schools students in 20 schools as visiting readers, tutors, mentors and other special events including speaking engagements.

sTaTe-of-The-arT aDDiTion Among the recent updates that increased OU’s athletic training space to 10,000 square feet were the addition of new hot and cold plunge hydrotherapy pools (shown left). The facility also includes a water rehabilitation pool that features an underwater treadmill, allowing athletes the opportunity to exercise after injury much sooner than on land. By taking away the weight bearing forces of gravity, an athlete is able to keep their running motion while waiting for the injury to heal, allowing the athlete to maintain cardiovascular endurance. The treadmill reaches a speed of approximately eight miles per hour and features underwater jets that provide increased resistance if needed. Underwater cameras allow the athletic trainers and physical therapists to view the running mechanics of the athlete, ensuring proper form and a speedy road to recovery.

Comprehensive rehaBiliTaTionThe Oklahoma Athletics Department feels a strong responsibility to help its ath-letes reach and maintain their optimum health and achieve conditioning goals.

For this reason, OU has developed excellent training and conditioning programs to lessen the possibility of injuries. However, should injuries occur, the department is committed to a comprehensive rehabilitation program.

Complete athletically-related medical services are provided to Oklahoma student- athletes by team physicians and OU’s certified athletic trainers. The University of Oklahoma obtains the services of the best medical consultants available. The base of operation for the Sooners’ medical care is the state-of-the-art Henry J. Freede, M.D. Sports Medicine Center in the Barry Switzer Center.

Head athletic trainer Scott Anderson says the addition to the Barry Switzer Center has allowed the university to upgrade to a new edition of rehabilitation equip-ment that can best benefit the student-athletes. From simple therobands to taping tables, the new facility offers everything a school can have or hope to have. The Sooner training room is equipped to perform isokinetic joint evaluation for preventive medicine and for post-injury rehabilitation. The therapy room is sup-plied with the latest modalities on the market.

THE UNIVERSITY facilities

With one of the greatest winning traditions in intercol-legiate athletics, the University of Oklahoma, its players, coaches and fans understand the meaning of “Great Expectations.” OU hopes for and expects great things from its athletics teams -- and the athletes and coaches expect the same from themselves. Time and time again, the Sooners have delivered on this expectation: 26 national championships, more than 200 conference titles and more than 1,000 All-Americans.

The University of Oklahoma’s goal is to provide first-class facilities and resources for all the programs and endeavors sponsored by the institution. OU Athletics captures so much attention and interest that it requires the help and support of all Sooners to continue the tradition that all have enjoyed. With that in mind, OU launched “Great Expectations...The Campaign for Sooner Sports” in 1999.

“Great Expectations - The Campaign for Sooner Sports,” a recently completed fund-raising effort, was about the continuation of a proud championship tradition. It was a five-year campaign launched with an eventual goal of $100 million, making possible an extraordinary era in new athletics facilities that has led to unprecedented athletic and academic success for OU student-athletes.

Among the accomplishments made possible by Great Expectations’ donors: an expanded, renovated and more beautiful football stadium; two completely new facilities for men’s and women’s basketball at Lloyd Noble Center; new or renovated facilities for baseball, softball, volleyball, wrestling, softball, tennis, soccer and track and field; new strength and conditioning and sports medicine centers and an indoor training center.

gaylord family - oklahoma memorial stadiumThe $75 million expansion and renovation of OU’s football stadium, completed in 2004, transformed a towering concrete structure into a beautiful facility featuring the brick and cast stone that characterize OU’s historic buildings. The expansion added 8,000 seats, including 56 suites, on the east side. At the same time, the press box was remodeled and outfitted with several state-of-the-art features. This historical facility is the largest sports arena in the state, and following its recent expansion, now ranks among the 15 largest on-campus facilities in the nation.

In 2003, the softball field was named in honor of retired softball coach and women’s administrator Marita Hynes. Baseball practice facilityWith an estimated cost of $1 million, the OU baseball team opened an indoor hitting facility and practice infield at L. Dale Mitchell Park prior to the 2009 season. The 5,160-square -foot facility has three full-size hitting/pitching lanes and is air conditioned and heated. Previous renovations to L. Dale Mitchell Park were completed in 2001 when the press box underwent state-of-the-art improvements including four suites and a press area, the Mike Treps Media Room. The facility originally opened in 1982.

John Jacobs Track and field ComplexThe project, which was completed in spring 2004, included a 25,000-square-foot building connecting the Mosier Indoor Practice Facility with the Everest Training Center. This new building includes track and field locker rooms, a sports medicine room and a video teaching room. The John Jacobs Track was altered and re-surfaced to include European Oval turns for a faster track and nine 48-inch wide lanes. Other improvements include upgrades of field event areas, placing them directionally north/south and east/west to take advantage of wind conditions; spectator seating for 2,000; new restrooms and concessions; and the installation of championship lighting.

howard mcCasland field houseThe Field House is one of OU’s most historic buildings. Many OU alumni fondly recall the field house as the home of OU’s basketball program, which it was until Lloyd Noble Center opened in 1975. In 2005, the Field House underwent a $6 million facelift that included a complete interior renovation comprised of a resanded and repainted floor with four efficient practice courts and chair-back seating that offers fans more comfort. In addition, the entire facility was repainted and improvements were made to the HVAC system, sound system, lighting and scoreboards. The Sooners have also enjoyed renovations done to the training room as well as an upgrade to both the volleyball and wrestling locker rooms.

The Lloyd Noble Center addition includes two new full-sized practice courts for the men’s and women’s basketball teams.

new in 2010 The program added state-of-the art dugouts on the north side of the complex that give the home and visiting teams a permanent structure during contests. Unique in the Big 12 Conference, the bench areas also feature heating vents and ceiling fans to help weather the elements. phase ii The University of Oklahoma Athletics Department completed Phase II of the OU Soccer Complex, a $4.5 million renovation in the summer of 2006. The addition of a state-of-the-art press box and grandstand is joined by a multi-use building located between the soccer complex and the Headington Family Tennis Center at the corner of Chautauqua Avenue and Imhoff Road.

Phase II construction began in November of 2005 and the new facility is comprised of spaces for student-athletes, coaches and fans of both soccer and tennis.

“We are so grateful for the donors who helped us complete Phase II of the Soccer and Tennis facilities,” said OU Athletics Director Joe Castiglione.

“ One of the unique aspects of the funding for our first phase was that almost every dollar was provided by former student-athletes. Many of those same indi-viduals were so excited about the quality of the facility that they stepped forward again to finish the project and provide state-of-the-art facilities for our current student-athletes.”

The OU soccer and tennis clubhouse features a training room, locker rooms, video and conference rooms, team facilities, and equipment, laundry and other support services.

The press box is equipped with camera decks and a media level complete with the latest technologies. The attractive conference room/meeting area serves as a versatile location for team meetings and activities, and can be used to host special guests, parents, donors and media.

In addition to increasing the seating capacity to 3,500, the complex also includes concessions, restrooms and a ticket booth to give fans a complete family atmo-sphere for watching Division I soccer.

“We have an incredible facility that is second to none and the commitment to success is evident when you look at our facility,” said head coach Nicole Nelson. “Our facility is unique in that it allows the crowd to be very involved with what is happening in the game because they sit very close to the field. It is the perfect soccer environment and unique in the Big 12.”

hisToryOn Sept. 8, 2000, a new era began for the OU soccer program when the Sooners hosted SMU in the first game at the on-campus complex. Before the game, a ceremony, featuring OU Director of Athletics Joe Castiglione, was held to celebrate the opening of the complex.

The first phase ($1.2 million) at the OU Soccer Complex featured a first-class, regu-lation field with top-of-the-line turf and drainage system. Since its initial season, the most noticeable addition of the project was the scoreboard which measures 37 feet in length and is close to 15 feet in height (standing 25 feet above ground).

In 2002, the field was renamed to honor the donation made by John Crain. The $600,000 gift, all of which was applied to the soccer program, still remains one of the largest ever made to Sooner women’s athletics.

In 2006, the complex enjoyed a $4.5 million renovation that included a state-of-the-art press box and grandstand, joined by a multi-use building located between the soccer complex and the Headington Family Tennis Center at the corner of Chautauqua Avenue and Imhoff Road.

Most recently, the words “Oklahoma Sooners” were added to the front of the press box to further enhance the appearance of the facility. In addition, the locker room and team room on the second floor were decorated and furnished for the coaches and student-athletes.

THE UNIVERSITY norman and oklahoma city

a UniversiTy Town wiTh a Championship spiriT Norman was recently named by Money Magazine as No. 6 of America’s Best Places to Live among “small” cities or locations with a population between 50,000 and 300,000.

Norman is an ever-changing city of nearly 100,000 residents. Located in the heart of the state, it has grown to become the third largest city in Oklahoma. Despite its continuous growth, it has maintained the spirit and serenity of a small close-knit community.

Since the Oklahoma landrush of 1889, Norman has grown into a popular and smart city. The spirit of Norman and its citizens is unwavering and uncompromising. While other towns were clamoring to become the state capital, Norman residents desired to have the first state university. When the first OU president got off the train and saw a prairie, he saw opportunity.

As home to the state’s premier educational institution, Norman boasts an excellent quality of life and is a city that thrives on and celebrates the diversity of its community. Legendary University of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer called Norman “a university town with a championship spirit.” Norman continually exhibits its love for sports by hosting numerous local and national athletic events.

In the last five years alone, Norman has served as host of the NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championship, an NCAA men’s golf regional, NCAA softball regionals, NCAA men’s and women’s gymnastics regionals, NCAA women’s tennis regionals, NCAA track and field regional and the NCAA women’s basketball regionals. In addition, the Big 12 Conference Men’s and Women’s Tennis, Track and Field, Wrestling, Women’s Golf, and Women’s Gymnastics Championships were held in Norman. Cultural activities are unlimited in Norman, making it the ideal backdrop for the University of Oklahoma. As home to people of all ethnic and educational

backgrounds, the city has something to offer everyone. Norman is home to a variety of enriching events and attractions, including the Sooner Theater, which hosts a series of entertaining theatrical performances produced by locally-based talent and touring companies.

The city also showcases local and regional artists in its annual May Fair. In addition, through the university’s School of Drama, School of Dance and the School of Music, stage productions are offered year round. The Medieval Fair has become a springtime tradition in Norman as people from around the country converge on the city for one weekend each April to partake in a fascinating look back in time. Each year, an area park is transformed into a festival of sights, sounds and tastes straight from the Middle Ages. Knights joust, jesters entertain and story tellers spin tales of a magical time in history.

The $44 million Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, a state-of-the-art facility designed to display a collection of historical and natural science items that trace the southwest’s development since prehistoric times, opened in May 2000. History buffs will also enjoy the Cleveland Country Historical House which holds exhibits relating to the development of this area of the state.

For art enthusiasts, the Fred Jones Jr. Memorial Art Center houses permanent collections, nationally and world-renowned traveling exhibits as well as a yearly student art show. The museum has recently added the Weitzenhoffer Collection of French Impressionist paintings -- the single most important gift of art ever given to a U.S. public university. Maintaining a progressive approach to the future while remembering its history, Norman continues to be a well-balanced community, proud to be the home of the University of Oklahoma.

Oklahoma CityOklahoma City, the capital of Oklahoma, is located just 18 miles from the Norman campus. It was the first city settled in the Land Run of 1889 because of its position as the center of the state. It is because of this central location that Oklahoma City has become known as the home of America’s Western heritage. Whether adventure, history, culture or sports, Oklahoma City offers a variety of attractions and activities different from any other place in the country. Oklahoma City was born on the afternoon of April 22, 1889, when the central portion of what is now Oklahoma was opened to settlement by presidential proclamation. Thousands crossed the borders of “unassigned lands” at the sound of gunfire at high noon. Never before or since has such a “run” occurred anywhere on the earth.

By the time the dust had settled on that historic day, many people had staked their claim at “Oklahoma Station,” an area which was destined to become Oklahoma City, a leading city in America. In 1911,

Oklahoma City officially became the capital after a statewide election moved the state seal from Guthrie. Oklahoma City has become a haven for exciting sports action. It is home of an NBA team, two semi-professional sports teams and the host of the NCAA Women College Softball World Series and Big 12 Softball Championship. The Oklahoma RedHawks, 1996 American Association champions (then named the Oklahoma City 89ers), are the Triple-A baseball affiliate of the Texas Rangers. The team plays in the 13,066-seat AT&T Bricktown Ballpark, one of the plushest venues in all of minor league sports. The ballpark served as host to a 2004 NCAA baseball regional and the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 208 Big 12 Baseball Championships.

Hockey mania runs rampant with the recent success of the Central Hockey League’s Oklahoma City Blazers. The Blazers won the CHL crown in 1996 and are yearly one of the league’s best teams. In addition, the city has hosted numerous PGA and Senior PGA Tour events.

TulsaTulsa, the state’s second largest city, is located 100 miles to the northeast of Norman in the heart of Oklahoma’s Green Country. Ask people to describe Tulsa, and you’ll likely get many different answers. It was a city forever changed by the discovery of oil in 1901. It is home to art deco treasures and nationally renowned museums. Its African-American heritage left its mark, in both the business and music worlds. And it’s a city of nostalgia and special memories for countless Americans due to its location on historic Route 66.

Tulsa is a cosmopolitan town that appeals to both young families and retirees. National touring exhibitions can be seen at the Philbrook Museum of Art, which was recently featured on the television program America’s Castles. For great western art, check out the Gilcrease Museum, and music legends are commemorated at Oklahoma’s Jazz Hall of Fame. Other unique attractions worth a stop include the Elsing Museum, Ida Dennie Willis Museum of Miniatures, Dolls & Toys, Tulsa Air and Space Center and the Fenster Museum of Jewish Art.
