2011 SEASON PREVIEW Without question the 2010 campaign was a season of adjust-ments for the University of Tennessee track & field program, as J.J. Clark navigated his first year leading a combined coaching staff with oversight of both the men’s and women’s teams. There were plenty of great individual accomplishments along the way and a national indoor runner-up outcome by the Lady Vols, but with the transition by the coaches and student-athletes to the changes, there were some challenges that had to be faced as well. While the early and inconvenient departure of a few male ath-letes due to the coaching switch a year ago is in the past, a lack of depth in several events will be an on-going battle until a couple of recruiting cycles can fill in those gaps. Clark has made it abundantly clear that his staff must get on the road and restock the cupboards so that both the men’s and women’s teams are competing at the same high level. “We have to bring in talent and develop it, which is what we’ve done before in winning the NCAA and SEC titles that we’ve won here,” said Clark, the skipper of two NCAA and three SEC champi-onship women’s teams at UT. “I won’t be at ease until we’re winning championships. “We know what we have to do to make that happen, and it’s going to take a couple of years of good recruiting to fill our needs and get there. There’s no magic wand you can wave to all-of-a-sudden win. You have to do some great recruiting and coaching to bring it all together and accomplish your goals.”

The Coaching Staff One of the biggest keys to coaching, recruiting and build-ing a program is stability. All full-time personnel with the excep-tion of women’s sprints/hurdles coach Heather Van Norman return in 2011. If early indications are accurate, the addition of former North Carolina and USA track & field standout Sharon Seagrave appears to be a personnel move that will bring an end to the turn-over for an event group that has seen four coaches in the past five seasons. “We think that we made a great hire in Sharon,” Clark said. “The way she communicates with the team and displays her knowl-edge to the athletes she coaches is just fanastic. We are very happy with her abilities and look forward to seeing great things from her in the near future.” Seagrave joins Clark, associate head coach George Watts (men’s distance) and assistants Norbert Elliott (men’s sprints/hurdles), John Frazier (men’s and women’s throws) and Jerome Romain (men’s and women’s jumps) on a staff that has a wealth of experience in preparing athletes to compete in arguably the na-tion’s best track & field conference. Clark also can call upon a quintet of volunteer coaches, in-cluding men’s pole vault coach Russ Johnson, women’s pole vault coach Da-vid Job, jumps coach Charlie Simpkins and new aides Rohsaan Griffin (sprints) and Bill Schmidt (javelin). “Our staff is very, very seasoned,” Clark said. “We have some veterans, and a former head coach in Nor-bert, who is a fantastic sprint coach. George has been at Tennes-see a long time and is very knowledgeable about distance and middle distance run-ning. “Jerome is a very technical coach, while John Frazier has de-veloped a good num-ber of NCAA and SEC caliber athletes and knows what it takes to win.

“Overall, we have a great staff. That in-cludes our volunteer coaches, who we are fortunate to have working with us. We look forward to com-bining those talents to help us move up the ladder in the SEC and NCAA.”

The Lady Vols The Lady Vol-unteers have been enjoying a terrific run since Clark came to Knoxville prior to the 2003 season. In 2010, his charges posted an NCAA Indoor runner-up finish on the heels of winning the cham-pionship in 2009, giv-ing the UT women four top-three NCAA Indoor outcomes in the past six seasons. Losing national champions such as Sarah Bowman in 2009 and Phoebe Wright in 2010 would seem to be graduation casualities that might prevent that successful spree from continuing, but Clark has earned a repu-tation for constantly developing new stars to step into the limelight when the previous ones bow out. While Wright’s exit is certainly a big blow, she and Kimarra Mc-Donald (8th, SEC Outdoor 800m; relay leg on DMR and 4x400mR) are the only two contributors who aren’t returning. That means Clark once again has the services of senior Jackie Areson (indoors) and juniors Annie Alexander, Chanelle Price, Brittany Sheffey and Ellen Wortham, who are among the best in their events in the SEC and also are point-getters at the national level. Throw in some “under-the-radar” returnees in a number of event areas, talented transfers Liz Costello and Nijgia Snapp, as well as a cast of newcomers that includes some immediate con-tributors, and it appears Clark and company will have a shot at staying near the top of the leaderboard at the NCAA level, if not the SEC level, too. The United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Preseason Rankings agree, placing the Lady Vols fourth. When asked whether his team can contend again at the na-tional meet this season, Clark said, “I am going to say yes, but sometimes things look fancy and dandy on paper. Sometimes they don’t and you overachieve. “We just have to stick to the plan, day-in and day-out, train hard, be smart, come to meets prepared and give it our best shot. We’ll just keep going hard until the races and meets are over, and then we’ll see what happens.”

Women’s Distance/Relays

As was the case last season, a good portion of the team’s firepower will come from the distance and middle distance area. Areson returns as the most decorated Lady Vol, having swept SEC titles in the 5000 meters indoors and out and anchored UT’s dis-tance medley relay team to victory in an SEC meet-record time as well in 2010. Areson has only indoor eligibility remaining, but that will allow her the opportunity to try and improve upon last year’s finishes of third in the 5000m (15:53.12) and fourth in the 3000m (9:10.09) at the NCAA Indoor Championships. The runner-up to Areson in the SEC Indoor 3K (9:26.63) and outdoors in the 5K (16:21.93) in 2010, Sheffey is back and looking to improve upon her four SEC second-place outcomes from a year ago. In addition to her long distance runner-up showings, she was second in the mile indoors and 1500m outdoors (4:19.34) at SECs. Additionally, Sheffey delivered one of the most memorable performances of the NCAA Indoor meet when she held off Oregon’s

J.J. Clark is in his second year of leading a combined University of Tennessee track & field program, and his aim is to have both teams competing for trophies in the near future.

With indoor eligibility remaining, Jackie Areson returns after 2010 indoor SEC wins in the 5000m and DMR, and NCAA top-four finishes in the 5000m and 3000m.

2011 SEASON PREVIEWJordan Hasay to deliv-er UT its third straight national championship in the distance medley relay. Former Gato-rade National High School Athlete of the Year Price enters her junior campaign after missing the majority of the outdoor slate due to injury last season. Before getting side-tracked, she finished second in the SEC In-door 800m (2:03.12), placed fourth in that event at NCAA Indoors and was instrumental in Tennessee’s na-tional and conference crowns in the distance medley relay. Not only is Price one of the nation’s best middle distance runners, she is ca-pable as a 4x4 leg as well, aiding UT to sixth at SEC Indoors a year ago. Clark mentions juniors Ramzee Fondren and Elizabeth Al-tizer as returnees to watch. Fondren, who has run a 2:06 hand time, has displayed her promise via an eighth-place SEC Outdoor 800m finish last season and a role with UT’s victorious DMR unit at the SEC Indoor meet in 2009. Altizer, meanwhile, is seeking her breakthrough moment in the mile/3K events. A cast of newcomers will give Clark perhaps the deepest 800 corps in the nation, with five owning PRs below 2:10 and giv-ing UT nine sub-2:10 runners on the squad. Freshmen Brittney Jackson (2:08.17), Kianna Ruff (2:09.46) and Ty-Vonna John-son (2:09.54) join the fold from the high school ranks, while Nijgia Snapp (2:08.80 indoors) and Liz Costello (2:09.95) transferred in from Seton Hall and Princeton, respectively. All five will be potential DMR legs, and all but Costello appear to have nifty 4x4 capabilities as well. Costello’s 4:40.37 mile PR is better than Areson’s or Sheffey’s, so she will also strengthen that distance for UT. After leading UT in five of six cross country races during the fall, freshman Amber Zimmerman of Knoxville’s Webb School will bear watching in the longer distances.

Women’s Throws

A two-time All-American and seven-time SEC scorer, Alexan-der once again is the top returnee in the women’s throws group. Alexander redshirted outdoors last season after finishing second at SEC Indoors in the shot put for the second straight year. She is likely redshirting indoors in 2011 before resuming a career that saw her begin as a freshman in 2008 by sweeping the SEC shot crowns and taking the discus title as well. Behind Alexander, senior Holly Kane, junior Laquoya Kelly and sophomores Jessie Harrison and Aslynn Halvorson all have produced points in conference action and should be better with a year’s seasoning. Kane is coming off her best campaign, having finished fifth in the javelin throw with a career-best heave of 142-10 at the SEC Outdoor meet. As a rookie, Halvorson notched a fifth-place effort in the discus at SEC Outdoors, stretching the tape to 159-10. Harrison grabbed sixth place at SEC Indoors as a freshman in 2010, unleashing a PR toss of 60-4 1/2. Kelly, meanwhile, just missed scoring in the weight at the league indoor meet last season and carded a sixth-place mark of 175-1 in the hammer throw in 2009.

Women’s Sprints/Relays

In her first season at UT, Seagrave inherits a group without a returning conference individual scorer in the sprints. Of the return-

ees, junior Brittany Jones has glaring potential (52.44 prep PR in 400m), but injuries have limited her participation in college to DMR and 4x4 duty. If the new coach can get Jones back on track, the impact to the team’s fortunes would be dramatic. The relays have the greatest potential to impact the squad from a scoring standpoint in 2010. Wortham and sophomore Mar-tinique Octave, along with 800 runner Price are returning mem-bers of the 4x4, which placed sixth indoors and fifth outdoors at SECs last season. The unit also qualified for the NCAA Outdoor meet. Previously mentioned with the 800m group, Snapp (53.64), Ruff (54.40) and Ty-Vonna Johnson (55.58) are options that could make the 4x4 even stronger. Snapp, too, could be ticketed for open duty in the 400m after taking second at the BIG EAST indoor and outdoor meets last season for Seton Hall. Tennessee’s young 4x100m relay unit was unable to score in conference action in 2010, but with maturity and a fresh start, there are possibilities to break into the mix. Juniors Wortham and Ashley Harris will join with sophomore short sprinters Kia Jackson and Nyosha Bryant as well as Octave to see what they can accom-plish.

Women’s Hurdles

Seagrave will have Wortham returning as the SEC runner-up in the 400-meter hurdles and the eighth-place finisher at the USA Championships, running a PR of 56.83 in the prelims there. Newcomer Bianca Blair, who hails from Knoxville but attend-ed South Carolina and later Texas A&M, gets her chance to run for the hometown Lady Vols after sitting out last season. She has PRs of 8.53 in the 60mH, and 13.57 for the 100mH, faster than any of the returnees.

Women’s Vertical Jumps

Wortham is a 5-7 3/4 high jumper with so many talents, mak-ing it hard for her to get enough work in this event outside of the pentathlon. Time might also be a factor for rookie 800m runner Jackson, who has a 5-6 PR but also dabbles in the 400m hurdles and multi-events. Sophomore Danielle Coffey is the lone returnee in the pole vault, and her 10-6 PR is now tied for third-best on the team, thanks to the addition of freshmen Linda Hadfield, Amanda Jones and Kristen Barnett. Hadfield, who overcame an ACL injury to com-pete late last season, owns a PR of 12-6 and seems to have the quickest chance of developing into an SEC scorer.

Women’s Horizontal Jumps

In his second year on staff, Romain returns an SEC Indoor long jump scorer in Kia Jackson (5th, 19-8). Bryant (19-9 3/4 PR) also shows prom-ise, as does rookie Jazmen Townsend, who went 19-11 in high school. Newcomers Alli-son Outerbridge (39-9 1/4) and Ebubechi Okwumabua (37-11) provide Romain his first triple jumpers with which to work at UT.

Women’s Multi-Events

When it comes time for producing points at the SEC In-door meet in the pen-tathlon, Wortham has been dependable with finishes of fifth in 2009

Junior Brittany Sheffey is back after anchoring UT to a thrilling NCAA victory in the DMR and posting SEC runner-up finishes in the mile and 3K indoors and the 1500m and 5K outdoors.

Chanelle Price was the SEC Indoor runner-up and the NCAA Indoor fourth-place finisher in the 800m last season and ran on UT’s league and national champion distance medley unit.

scored in five differ-ent distance events in 2010. The most deco-rated is Franklin, who was the SEC Outdoor 800m runner-up as a freshman. He is coming off identical sixth-place showings in that event a year ago at both the indoor and outdoor league meets. Spooner, fresh from his third-straight All-SEC effort in cross country, returns to the track after tak-ing sixth outdoors in both the steeple-chase (9:07.33) and 10,000m conference events last season. Sigilai, meanwhile, also is back after tak-ing sixth in the out-door 5K (14.13.86) in 2010. Distance return-ees looking to work their way into the scoring mix are sophomore Chris Bodary (5K/10K), juniors Steve Fassino and Tom Gilmartin (steeple-chase), and senior Chris Rapp (mile/3K). Redshirt freshman Daniel Tobin and true freshmen Rainey demonstrated during the cross country season that they are the most likely of the newcom-ers to contribute, also in the mile/3K. In the 800, Bell was ranked among the nation’s leaders as a prep and may earn some time on a relay if things go well with his transition to college running. The distance medley relay garnered seventh place at SEC Indoors a year ago in 10:02.72, and three legs return. Back are sprinter Alan Bachman, Franklin and Sigilai. Peacock, the lead-off leg, transferred to BYU for faith-based reasons, so Rapp or Rainey may draw the honor of getting the stick out of the blocks.

Men’s Vertical Jumps

Despite losing Holtz to graduation, the Vols still have five vaulters on the roster. Berry (17-9) and Rasnick (17-2 3/4) are both veterans of the NCAA and SEC Championships, with Berry having three conference wins to his credit. His ability to overcome injuries that limited his training and competition a year ago will be key to his team. Porter enters as one of the better vaulters in the prep ranks last season at 16-7 1/4, while redshirt freshman Chase Brannon (15-1) and true freshman Michael Maira (15-0) will look to coach Johnson to help them improve during the course of the season. The high jump could be an area of drastic improvement for UT in 2011. Ranked No. 4 as a prep, Hunter comes over from foot-ball to lend his 7-3 soaring abilities to coach Romain and could be an instant scorer at the SEC level. Sophomore decathlete Kevin Carney will try to improve upon his 6-9 PR and perhaps aid the cause in the open high jump.

Men’s Horizontal Jumps

In addition to his high jumping abilities, Hunter also brings with him talent in the long and triple jumps. He ranked No. 1 among preps in the long jump at 25-10 3/4 last season, winning the USA Junior Championships and finishing sixth at the IAAF World Junior Championships. In the triple jump, he was sixth best among high schoolers at 50-8 1/4. Tennessee also welcomes back an SEC scorer in Brown, who was seventh indoors at 24-10 1/2 and fifth outdoors at 25-9 1/4 a year ago. He and Hunter should give Ten-nessee a strong scoring tandem in the long jump. Sophomore Patrick Crum and newcomers Max Lee and Joachim De Bock all have similar PRs (22-9 to 22-11) and will look to develop.

and fourth in 2010. She hopes to continue the upward mobility and perhaps get some help from freshman Brittney Jackson in 2011. They are both so versatile, their multi-event action may be confined to the indoor season.

The Vols

Last season’s finishes of 10th and ninth, respectively, at the SEC Indoor and Outdoor Championships were deeply disappoint-ing, but the Vols’ eighth-place SEC Outdoor finish in 2009 and dearth of top-flight signees that spring foreshadowed the struggles that lie ahead. While the experts won’t expect Tennessee’s men to rebound immediately and challenge for championships, the groundwork is being laid for that climb to begin. Stability has been restored to the coaching staff and recruiting is well underway to replenish the roster in all areas with the talent needed to battle for supremacy at the NCAA and SEC level. One of the nation’s elite prep sprinters in 2009, Dentarius Locke is primed to hit the track after redshirting last season. Out of a class of 23 newcomers in 2011, jumper/Vol football player Justin Hunter and thrower Matthew Hoty arrive with the highest rankings by Track & Field News, based upon their prep marks. Also appearing on TFN’s top 25 lists last season were thrower/Vol football player Matt Darr, pole vaulter Tyler Porter, distance run-ner Jake Rainey and middle distance runner Ford Bell. Fresh-man sprinter Jarael Nelvis also was on that list as a junior in 2009 before injuries limited him as a senior. With the future of the program beginning to take shape, the present reminds us that Tennessee lost several contributors from 2010, including nine-time sprint All-American and 20-time SEC scorer Evander Wells, who will be missed greatly. Also among those graduations losses were NCAA qualifiers and SEC scorers in sprinter Kyle Stevenson, javelin thrower Matt Maloney and pole vaulter Brad Holtz, as well as SEC scorers John Hewitt and Samdi Fraser. Also gone are 800 scorers Emerson Peacock and Ter-rance Livingston. Hoping to offset those departures will be key returnees such as three-time SEC champion pole vaulter Joe Berry, four-time 800m scorer Joe Franklin, three-time distance contributor Michael Spooner and two-time SEC long jump point-getter Des-mond Brown. Veterans such as 2010 NCAA pole vault qualifier Robert Rasnick and fellow SEC scorers Peter Sigilai (distance) and Ben Bartholomew (throws) should be among that cast, too. “Obviously, we have the same goals for our entire program,” Clark said. “We want to win on a national and SEC level, and right now we are not at that point. We have to look at the process and see what it takes for us to get to that point. That means recruiting and developing stu-dent athletes to per-form at their best. “Dentarius and Justin should be very prominent factors in our efforts to strength-en the program, as should Will Bar-tholomew, who scored in the throws as a freshman, talented long jumper Desmond Brown as well Michael Spooner, Joe Franklin, Peter Sigilai and oth-ers. “We have areas where we can score, but we really need to be firing on all cylin-ders to climb our way up in the SEC and NCAA.”

preparation prior to the SEC Indoor (Feb. 25-27 and NCAA In-door (March 11-12) Championships. The entire team will travel to the Kentucky Invi-tational (Jan. 14-15) and Hokie Invitational (Jan. 21-22) the first two weekends, fol-lowed by a split-squad weekend on Jan. 28-29 at the Penn State National and the Rod McCravy Memo-rial (Lexington, Ky.). Then, it’s off to New York City for the New Balance Collegiate In-vitational on Feb. 4-5. The weekend of Feb. 11-12, most of the squad will be in College Station, Tex-as, for the Texas A&M Challenge, a confer-ence showdown be-tween the SEC, Big 12 and Conference USA. However, a handful of the squad’s elite distance runners will head to Seattle for the Husky Classic. Following a weekend off, the squad will head to Fayetteville, Ark., for the SEC meet and then back to College Station a week later for the NCAA Championships. “We have a new facility in the planning stages, and we are excited about that,” Clark said. “But, right now, all of our indoor meets are important because we don’t have an indoor competition facility. “Everywhere we go, it’s important to fire hard and get after it, because those are times we can depend on not worrying about the weather. All the venues we visit have nice tracks and runways that prepare us in all phases for the championship meets later in the season.” Outdoors, the throwers open things up on March 17-19 at the 49er Classic in Charlotte. Following a split-squad weekend at the UCF Invitational in Orlando and the Stanford Invitational on March 25-26, UT heads to Los Angeles for a rare dual meet with UCLA on April 2. “We decided to switch it up a little bit this season and head to the West Coast and have a nice dual meet against a quality team,” Clark said. “We look forward to competing against UCLA and try-ing to win the meet but at the same time we’ll try to use it as an opportunity to qualify people for the NCAA Preliminary meet.” “The next weekend, the Big Orange squads return home for the Sea Ray Relays at UT’s Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium. It is the only home competition of the 2011 campaign. “Obviously, we’d like to have more than one home meet, and we have to figure out how to make that happen,” Clark said. “We have a program that has won seven national championships be-tween the men’s and women’s teams, and we really want to get back here and let people in the community see our student-ath-letes perform. “We had some tremendous upgrades with the track and the brickwork and fencing around the stadium prior to the 2010 SEC meet. It’s a first-class, first-rate facility and a great place to watch a meet.” Following the four day showcase opportunity in Knoxville, Tennessee wraps up the regular season with a split-squad week-end on April 22-23 at the Vanderbilt Invitational in Nashville and the USCD Invitational in LaJolla, Calif., and the annual trek to Philadelphia for the Penn Relays on April 28-30. The postseason begins on May 12-15 in Athens, Ga., at the SEC Outdoor Championships, followed by the NCAA East Pre-liminary Round in Bloomington, Ind., on May 26-28, and the NCAA Outdoor Championships on June 8-11.

Men’s Throws

Football reserve tight end Bartholomew is the leading return-ee for Tennessee in the men’s throws group, having scored in sev-enth indoors (53-2 3/4) and sixth outdoors (53-3 3/4) in the shot put at the 2010 SEC meets. Sophomore Drew Thomas and junior Minor Bowens nearly contributed points last season as well, with Thomas placing ninth in the hammer throw (176-11) and Bowens winding up 10th in the discus at 146-1. Newcomers Hoty and Darr join the three returnees to help Tennessee form the nucleus of a promising throws group. Hoty was injured as a senior but was ranked as the No. 1 prep shot put-ter in the class of 2010 for much of his career. Darr, meanwhile, ranked 16th and 17th in the nation, respectively, in the discus and shot as a senior.

Men’s Sprints/Relays

With the departure of Wells, Stevenson, Fraser and Hewitt, the sprint group and relay units will take on a different look in 2011. At the top of the depth chart in the short sprints is Locke, a highly-touted speedster out of Tampa, Fla. His prep bests include 6.79 for 60m, 10.31 for 100m and 20.58 for 200m, and as he shakes the competitive rust off, he will be looked to as a tone-setter for a youthful group. A trio of newcomers stands next on the list for the short sprints. True freshmen Joachim De Bock (10.68/21.70) and Nelvis (10.70/21.12), and Pittsburgh transfer Corey Alexander (6.81/10.80/21.59) will not only run the open events but will join Locke and Brown (10.80) as candidates for the 4x100m relay. At 400 meters, junior Varick Tucker (47.57) and Bachman (47.83) are back, as are senior Nathan Grace (47.95) for the out-door season only and junior Deaundra Dailey (48.24). Sopho-mores Matt Bergquist and Breon Dixon may join those individu-als as possibilities for the 4x4.

Men’s Hurdles

SEC 400m hurdles scorer John Hewitt graduated, so UT must develop some new contributors in this area. Terry Ben-son, a transfer from Central Arizona, appears to offer a potential solution in the 110m (14.40) and 400m hurdles (52.85) events. Bergquist also will try to improve his stock in the longer race to provide depth.

Men’s Multi-Events

Known as a program where the decathlon always figured prominently into the team’s plans, that area was silent in 2010 after Bill Webb’s re-tirement during the offseason. Tennessee will get back into the multi-event business in 2011, as Carney, an in-state decathlon product, returns to action after transfer-ring from Kentucky and redshirting last season. In his fresh-man campaign for the Wildcats, Carney posted an eighth-place finish in the SEC decathlon. His PR is 6,087. Max Lee trans-ferred to UT from East Tennessee State, so the Vols will now have two training for multis.

The 2011 indoor schedule looks very familiar to years past, with five weekends of

Tennessee’s Desmond Brown burst onto the scene in 2010 as one of the SEC’s top long jumpers, placing seventh indoors and fifth outdoors at the league meets.

The 2011 outdoor campaign will mark the second season that NCAA Division I schools will utilize a “preliminary round” format for determining qualifiers for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship meet, which will be hosted this season by Drake University on June 8-11. As opposed to the previous six years, where four regional meets were held for the purpose of determining who advances to the NCAA Championship meet, 2011 will once again feature East and West Preliminary Rounds, held in Bloomington, Ind., and Eugene, Ore., respectively. The holders of the top 48 marks in each event will advance to either the East or West Preliminary Round site, based on their school’s geographical location. Both preliminary round meets will be held May 26-28, with Indiana University hosting the East site and the University of Oregon hosting the West version. All states west of the Mississippi River, plus Illinois and Wisconsin and with the exception of Louisiana, will compete in the West Preliminary Round. All other states will compete in the East meet.

Evander Wells became his first male All-America recipient, taking fourth in the 200m outdoors in 2010. Two of Clark’s pupils, 400m whiz DeeDee Trotter and long jump ace Tianna Madison, ascended to stardom on the international stage before their college days were through, resulting in their early departures for the lucrative world of professional track & field. Among UT’s 11 national women’s event winners under Clark’s watch are 2010 indoor and outdoor 800m champ Phoebe Wright, 2009 indoor mile champ and NCAA meet-record-holder Sarah Bowman, 2005 indoor and outdoor long jump winner Madison, 2004 indoor 800m champ Nicole Cook, 2004 outdoor 400m winner Trotter, 2004 DMR legs Brooke Novak, Trotter, Cook and Lindsay Hyatt; 2008 DMR contributors Brittany Sheffey, Brittany Jones, Wright and Bowman; 2009 world-record-setting DMR members Wright, Chanelle Price, Jones and Bowman, who checked in with a sizzling 10:50.98 readout to rewrite women’s history, and 2010 DMR victors Wright, Ellen Wortham, Price and Sheffey. In cross country, Clark has groomed 13 female athletes who have totaled 33 All-South Region awards in nine seasons and 14 who’ve accumulated 25 total All-SEC honors. In addition to qualifying women’s teams for the NCAA Championships from 2002 to 2006, he also had Jackie Areson (2008, 2009, 2010), Sarah Bowman (2008) and Katie Van Horn (2009, 2010) qualify as individuals, with Bowman placing 36th in 2008 to become the first female cross country All-American at Tennessee since Sharon Dickie in 2000.

ACADEMIC PROWESS...

In the classroom, Clark’s high expectations have been met with equal success, as his track & field/cross country troops have tallied 146 (129 women/17 men) SEC Academic Honor Roll recognitions, 20 female ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District IV nods and nine female Academic All-America citations since 2002.

Bowman became his first two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America honoree in 2009, as she followed up second-team distinction in 2008 with first-team status as a senior. Also earning accolades in 2009 were first-teamer Wright and second-team selection Amanda Alexander. Wright would repeat and be named Academic All-American of the Year for track & field/cross country, while Areson also made the first team in 2010. Katie Flaute and Christina Billings were second-team ESPN The Magazine honorees in 2007 and 2003, respectively, while Felicia Guliford garnered Academic All-America acclaim from the Women’s Intercollegiate Cross Country Coaches Association in fall 2004.

Additionally, Clark’s team and individuals are consistently honored by the USTFCCCA and SEC for academics. In 2008 and 2009, Bowman was named both the USTFCCCA Indoor Women’s Track Scholar Athlete of the Year and the SEC Women’s Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She also joined Guliford and Wright as Lady Vol harriers nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year.

Wright’s 2010 campaign was highlighted by the H. Boyd McWhorter SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award, SEC Track & Field Scholar Athlete of the Year, an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and USTFCCCA Indoor Track Scholar Athlete of the Year, giving UT the honor three years running. The Lady Vols also were recognized as the USTFCCCA Indoor Scholar Team of the Year in both 2009 and 2010.

PENN RELAYS AND RECORD-SETTING MARKS...

In 2004, Clark returned the Big Orange women to vogue at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pa., as the Lady Vol contingent pulled off a hat trick of baton event victories at the Penn Relays. Tennessee quartets captured a trio of “Championships of America” in the distance medley, 4x800m and sprint medley relays, with the latter establishing a collegiate record. UT, which also added an SMR title in 2006 and a DMR crown in 2007, had not won that many relays in Philly since 1984. Tennessee once again pulled off a triple in 2009 and 2010, with Bowman earning athlete of the meet honors for playing a role in UT winning the DMR, 4x1500m and 4x800m events

TEnnESSEE COACHInG STAFF

J.J. Clark is in his ninth year at Tennessee, where he spent seven seasons as head coach of the women’s cross country and track & field programs before also assuming leadership of the men’s track & field team prior to the 2009-10 campaign. A two-time NCAA and six-time SEC champion coach with the Lady Vol track & field and cross country teams from 2002-09, Clark heads up one of the most storied collegiate programs in the nation. On the oval, Tennessee has won seven national championships and claimed 51 SEC titles (22 indoors/29 outdoors) in track & field through the years. The cross country teams also have thrived at UT, boasting a national championship and 30 SEC titles between them since their inception. The men’s and women’s teams also have made a combined 44 appearances at national championship meets and hosted the NCAA Championships together in 1990 at Pine Lakes Golf Course in Rockford, Tenn.

CLARK’S BIG ORANGE SUCCESS...

The architect of an amazing reclamation project with the women’s track & field and cross country programs at Rocky Top, Clark spent seven impressive seasons in Knoxville before assuming control of the entire program. During the track & field portion of the season, he has directed the Lady Vols to NCAA Indoor National Championships in 2005 and 2009, SEC Indoor Championships in 2005, 2007 and 2009, and an NCAA Mideast Regional crown outdoors in 2005. With Clark at the helm, Tennessee has enjoyed six top-five NCAA women’s track & field finishes (Indoors: 1st in 2005 and 2009, 2nd in 2010, 3rd in 2007 and 4th in 2004; Outdoors: 4th in 2005) and three additional top-10 outings (Indoors: t8th in 2008; Outdoors: t7th in 2004, t10th in 2009) during his stay in Knoxville. UT also has eight SEC top-three outcomes (six indoors, two outdoors) since 2003, with runner-up efforts indoors in 2004 and 2008 in addition to the titles won in 2005, 2007 and 2009. He now has begun the climb with the men’s team. During his time in Big Orange Country, the women’s cross country program has benefited immensely from Clark’s tutelage, claiming SEC hardware from 2003-05 and NCAA South Region plaques from 2002-05, and making NCAA Championships appearances from 2002-06. Clark, who continues to lead the Lady Vol distance/cross country corps while George Watts coaches the men’s group, is the all-time winningest cross country coach in the history of UT Women’s Athletics. On the trails, his distaff troops have carved out top-three performances at eight of nine SEC Championship meets, including three runner-up finishes to go along with the three victories. At the regional level, Team Orange has wound up fourth or better in eight of nine seasons under his watch, finishing third three times along with the four triumphs the squad has enjoyed.

21-TIME COACH OF THE YEAR...

Clark has been recognized far and wide for his acumen in track & field and cross country, earning a total of 21 coach of the year accolades (11 track & field/10 cross country) during a career which also includes 10 seasons as women’s cross country coach and assistant track & field coach at Florida (1992-2002). The crafty skipper twice has been named national women’s collegiate indoor track & field coach of the year, reaping the award from the USTFCCCA in 2009 and the USTCA in 2005. Nike also selected him as its 1998 USA Elite Coach of the Year as well. Clark has garnered regional track & field coach of the year distinction on five occasions, collecting USTFCCCA South Region Indoor women’s accord in 2007, 2008 and 2009, and USTCA South Region Indoor and Mideast Region Outdoor women’s kudos in 2005. At the SEC level, the Big Orange boss was named the SEC Women’s Indoor Track & Field Coach of the Year in 2005, 2007 and 2009. Among his 10 honors for cross country, Clark is a five-time South Region Women’s Coach of the Year (1997, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005) and a five-time SEC Women’s Coach of the Year (1996, 1997, 2003, 2004, 2005). His 1996 and 1997 recognitions came while he was at Florida.

DEVELOPING CHAMPIONS AND ALL-AMERICANS AT UT...

While winning national and conference titles now are annual, and realistic, goals, turning recruits into top-flight competitors has long been a hallmark of Clark and the Tennessee program. During Clark’s previous eight years at the wheel of Tennessee track & field, 32 athletes (31 female/one male) have combined to earn 140 (139 female/

in 2009. The 4x15 unit ran a world-record clocking, while the 4x8 brought the baton home in an American-record readout. Wright, meanwhile, was instrumental in leading UT to victories in those races in 2010. Those 2009 efforts came after an indoor campaign where the Lady Vols twice posted eye-catching marks in the DMR. First, UT ran 10:56.40 for an American record at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational. Then, the Big Orange won the NCAA title in March with the aforementioned world best. Speaking of records, there also have been some other league and NCAA women’s marks set on Clark’s watch. Among them, the 2004 and 2010 DMRs lowered the SEC record to 11:16.61 and then 11:14.59, while Cook’s 2005 collegiate record in the 800m also stands as a conference best. Madison’s leap of 22-8.50 at the 2005 SEC Outdoor meet, while not a record due to a slight gust of 2.2 mps, stood then as the best mark in the 28 years that women had competed in the long jump at the conference championships. Madison’s measurement of 22-3 at the 2005 NCAA Indoor meet, meanwhile, tied Carol Lewis’ American collegiate record and was just short of the NCAA standard. During Clark’s first eight years on The Hill, UT women’s marks in 16 events indoors and 17 events outdoors have been revised, while one men’s outdoor mark was eclipsed in 2010. In addition to that, there are names of numerous current student-athletes who are climbing their way up the charts and peppering the facility and meet record lists, both at home and around the nation.

REPRESENTING YOUR COUNTRY...

Internationally, Tennessee also returned to the scene under Clark, the 2008 U.S. Olympic women’s middle distance coach. His former athletes Bowman (1500m), Cook (800m), Madison (LJ), Trotter (400m/4x400mR), Bennett (800m), Shanna Dickenson (throws), Dickie (distance/XC), Lynne Layne (sprints), Jeneba Tarmoh (sprints) and Cleo Tyson (sprints), and current Lady Vol Price (800m), have performed well for Team USA. Current star Annie Alexander and ex-Lady Vols Rose-Anne Galligan (distance/XC), Toyin Olupona (sprints) and Patricia Hall (sprints), meanwhile, have been fine representatives for Trinidad & Tobago, Ireland, Canada and Jamaica, respectively. Newcomer Justin Hunter became his first international male competitor, finishing sixth in the long jump at the 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships. World success showered the Big Orange in 2004, as college junior Trotter ran on the victorious U.S. Olympic 4x400m relay unit and grabbed fifth in the open 400 meters before becoming the first underclass Lady Vol to turn pro. Clark also moved four of his pupils into the 800m finals at the U.S. Olympic Trials, where Bennett and Cook finished fourth and seventh, respectively. He advanced two (wife Jearl Miles-Clark and sister Hazel Clark) to the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, where Miles-Clark wound up sixth in her fifth trip to the Olympiad, while a freak accident prevented Clark from advancing beyond the prelims in her second visit to the Games. Hazel would also qualify for the 2008 Games, competing for her brother, J.J., who served as the women’s middle distance coach for the U.S. In 2005, Madison would leap to international stardom, winning the long jump at the IAAF World Outdoor Championships.

IMPACTING BIG ORANGE ATHLETICS...

Clark’s impact has been felt beyond the programs he coaches, as well, as his squads’ SEC and NCAA finishes have fueled the most extensive department-wide spree of female sport success in the history of UT Athletics. The Lady Vols were declared the SEC women’s all-sports winners in 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2005-06 by the New York Times Regional Newspaper Group. Though the Lady Vols and Tennessee finished second in the SEC all-sports standings in 2006-07, the women’s and men’s programs combined to place seventh nationally in the U.S. Sports Academy Director’s Cup standings, marking UT’s highest ranking in history.

LIFE BEFORE ROCKY TOP...

One of the most respected distance coaches in the nation, Clark enjoyed 10 successful seasons as an assistant from 1992 to 2002 at the University of Florida and spent the 1991-92 year there as a graduate assistant. His group of athletes played a key role in Florida’s SEC Indoor and Outdoor track & field titles in 1997 and 1998, its indoor crown in 2002 and its third-place national finish indoors in 2002. It has been estimated that his charges accumulated more than 650 points in SEC action and 110-plus at the NCAA level during his 10 seasons as a full-time aide. During his tenure with the Gators, Clark groomed two athletes who

combined for three SEC Athlete of the Year awards in cross country and track, and developed competitors who racked up five NCAA Championships, 44 NCAA All-America citations and 32 conference championship plaques. Among those were his sister, Hazel Clark, a three-time national champ in the 800 meters and the SEC Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Year in 1998 and 1999, and Becki Wells, a two-time victor in the mile/1500 meters and the 1996 SEC Cross Country Athlete of the Year. Both own the school records in their respective events, part of a total of 12 such marks accomplished by Clark-tutored athletes at Florida. In cross country, Clark led the school to its first-ever team appearance at the NCAA Championships in 1994. Since that season, UF was extended invitations four more times to the national meet, going in 1995, 1997, 1998 and 1999 and charting a top team finish of 16th on the third of its five trips. Clark also guided Florida to SEC titles in 1996 and 1997, and the Gators claimed NCAA regional titles in 1997 and 1998. Among those drawing kudos for their standout cross country performances were Wells, the 1995 and 1996 SEC champion, and Hilary White, the 2000 SEC Freshman Athlete of the Year. Additionally, Wells and Velsen picked up All-America citations during their careers.

INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE COACHING MEN, WOMEN...

As mentioned previously, Clark’s influence also extends into the international arena, and his history of preparing athletes for competition is second to none. Proof of that was evident in 2000, when three of his pupils, sisters Joetta and Hazel and wife Jearl, finished one-two-three in the 800m at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Sacramento, Calif., and went on to represent America in Sydney. During his time as head of “Team Clark,” the 1986 Villanova graduate prepared Joetta to compete in four Olympics prior to retiring, Jearl to make five appearances and win two Olympic golds and two world championships, and Hazel to make the finals in her initial trip to the Olympics in 2000 and qualify again in 2004 and 2008. His spouse also maintains the American record she set in the 800m in 1999 and was the 2004 Olympic Trials champion and 2003 USATF outdoor victor in the 800m as well as the 2002 winner in the 400m. In addition to the familial success, he also coached three-time Olympian Mark Everett to a No. 1 USA ranking and fourth-place world rating in the 800 meters. Nike recognized Clark for his work in continuing to develop world-class athletes, naming him the 1998 USA Elite Coach of the Year. Clark’s abilities have also been noticed and rewarded by his sport’s national governing body. After serving as an assistant for the U.S. women at the 1999 IAAF World Track & Field Championships in Greece, he would receive the honor of being named head coach of the 2001 team in Edmonton, Canada. As previously mentioned, he later earned the distinction of being the middle distance coach for the U.S. women at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

BACKGROUND, EDUCATION AND FAMILY...

A product of Maplewood, N.J., and a graduate of Columbia High School, Clark made trips to Knoxville during his teen years to watch his sister Joetta compete for the Lady Vols and saw her help Tennessee win the 1981 AIAW National Outdoor Championship. Those examples left an impression on the younger brother, and he blazed his own trail in track & field. First, he set his own standard of excellence in running, winning the New Jersey high school state title in the mile and two-mile as a senior in 1982. With that kind of effort, he then earned a scholarship to Villanova, where he would develop into a sub-four minute miler in his competitive days en route to qualifying for the 1988 U.S Olympic Trials. After graduating from VU in May of 1986 with a B.A. in communications, he returned to his prep alma mater and served as assistant track coach. While at CHS from 1986 to 1989, he worked with the girls’ and boys’ middle distance and sprints corps. Then, in 1991, he made his transition into collegiate coaching, serving as a graduate assistant at Florida for one year before being hired full time there.

Clark, who resides in Knoxville with wife Jearl and son Jorell, studied anatomy and physiology coursework in graduate school at UF. Bridging the gap between his high school coaching and college experience, he also took courses in nutrition and exercise physiology in 1990 at Kean College in Union, N.J., and became certified as a licensed sports massage therapist in 1991 from the Florida School of Massage in Gainesville. His father is Joe Lewis Clark, the bat-wielding principal of Paterson, New Jersey’s Eastside High School, depicted by actor Morgan Freeman in the 1989 movie “Lean on Me.”

Associate Head Coach George Watts is in his 16th season in charge of the Tennessee men’s distance corps and cross country squad and in his 26th season overall with the Tennessee program. Both as an athlete and a coach, Watts has been an integral part of the proud distance tradition at Tennessee. As an assistant coach with the men’s team, Watts played a crucial role on coaching staffs that directed the Vols to NCAA Outdoor Championships in 1991 and 2001, in addition to an NCAA Indoor title in 2002. Watts has been on board as an assistant for 10 SEC titles, most recently the 2007 outdoor championship. He also has guided a number of athletes who excelled at UT as well as post-collegiately. Watts-coached individuals have captured 33 All-America honors on the track and won 21 SEC titles. He coached 800m school record-holder José Parrilla and 1,500m school record-holder Tim Pitcher. Four of his former charges have competed in the Olympics, most recently Anthony Famiglietti in the 2004 and 2008 Games. Famiglietti qualified for the steeplechase finals in Beijing. Among Watts’ current pupils, Joe Franklin was the runner-up in the 800m at the 2009 SEC Outdoor Championships and an NCAA Outdoor qualifier, and he notched sixth in that event indoors and outdoors last season. Michael Spooner also is a multi-time conference scorer, placing in the 10,000 the past two years and in the steeplechase in 2010, while Peter Sigilai was sixth outdoors in the 5,000m last year. In 2008, 800 specialist Yarrick Kincaid posted an eighth-place finish at the NCAA Championships to earn All-America honors, and Andrew Dawson finished fourth in the 1,500 at the SEC Championships to contribute five points to the Vols’ third-place team finish and become the second UT distance runner to qualify for the NCAA Regionals. Watts led Tennessee’s DMR team of Jeff Day, Samdi Fraser, Andrew Dawson and Tyler DeVault to the 2007 SEC Indoor title, breaking Arkansas’ stranglehold on the event and claiming UT’s first DMR conference championship since 1996. He then directed Day, Fraser, Kincaid and DeVault to a school-record clocking of 9:33.61 one week later. Outdoors, he coached Kincaid to All-America honors and 10th on Tennessee’s all-time performance list in the 800. Watts led three athletes to the 2006 NCAA Outdoor Championships in three different events. Following the season, he was named Mideast Region Male Assistant Coach of the Year (Distance) by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Watts’ middle distance and distance runners were represented in the indoor and outdoor NCAA meets in 2005. Paul Cross contested the indoor 800 meters, and Zach Sabatino raced the steeplechase outdoors. In 2004, freshmen Cross and Marc Sylvester, both 800 men, led the Vols in scoring with third- and fourth-place finishes, respectively, at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Cross also won the SEC Outdoor title in the 800. During the 2003 season, Watts had an athlete qualify for the NCAA Outdoor meet in every event he coached. Three-time All-American Sylvester won the SEC 800 outdoor crown, while Patrick Gildea authored the finest season for a UT 10K man in nearly a decade. Watts molded Sylvester into an 800 force in 2002. He captured All-America honors both indoors and outdoors, aiding greatly in Tennessee’s quest for the 2002 NCAA Indoor title. Additionally, Watts coached freshman Frank Francois to the 2002 World Junior Championships in the 800. Watts formerly worked with steeplechaser Famiglietti, 800 runners Sylvester and Jebreh Harris, and distance specialist Jeff Day. Watts directed Harris to a third-place finish at the U.S. Outdoor

Championships in 2006 and Gildea to the World Cross Country Championships that same year. Harris also ran the first leg on the American-record breaking 4x800 relay team in 2006. Prior to his Olympic appearances, Famiglietti won the 2002 USA outdoor title and 2001 World University Games under Watts’ tutelage. Watts also worked with legendary Tennessee alum Todd Williams, a 1992 and 1996 Olympian and 10,000 school record- holder, during his professional career. In addition to his associate head coaching duties for track, Watts heads the men’s cross country program. As would be expected, UT also competes at a very high level during the fall season. Under Watts’ leadership, the Vols have regularly finished near the top of the SEC, including three second-place finishes. His athletes have competed in nine NCAA Championships, either as a team or individually. In cross country, Watts has coached 26 All-SEC and three All-America runners. Recognizing his efforts in constructing a cross country resurgence, Watts earned South Region Coach of the Year honors in 2001 and 2002. Watts also took District III accolades in 1995. In 2005, Tennessee notched its best NCAA Championship finish in more than five years. The Vols posted improvement in each of the three postseason races. Zach Sabatino earned All-SEC, All-South Region and All-America honors with a 23rd-place finish at nationals, the best by a Tennessee athlete in 10 seasons. Tennessee won three straight meets to open the season, also a feat not accomplished in the program since 1995. During the 2002 campaign, Watts led the Vols to the NCAA Championship for the second time in as many years. The Vols, ranked fourth in the region, stormed to first place at the 2002 NCAA South Regional. A year earlier, the Tennessee harriers reached the NCAA Championship for the first time since 1998 despite not having a runner on the roster who had ever been to nationals. Tennessee’s NCAA highlight under Watts came in 1995 when the Vols charted a 12th-place finish and the District III team championship. Watts was tabbed district coach of the year that season. He also directed Tony Cosey to a second district championship and a seventh-place All-America finish at nationals in 1995. Watts proved to be an integral part of the Volunteer program even before he was in a leadership position. As an assistant in the cross country program, he helped guide the Vols to SEC titles in 1985, 1989 and 1990. During his days as a Vol from 1975-78, he established himself as an outstanding distance runner, earning All-America honors for cross country in 1977 and indoor track in 1978 (three mile). Watts captured four SEC crowns as a Vol, beginning with the 1976 outdoor three-mile and six-mile championships. He followed with the 1977 outdoor 10,000 and 1978 indoor three-mile titles. Watts remains the SEC record-holder in the three-mile run, clocking a 13:32.6 in 1978. He also holds Tennessee freshman records in the indoor two-mile (8:42.6), three-mile (13:44.4) and outdoor 10,000 (29:04.05). A native of Alexandria, Va., Watts graduated from Tennessee in 1983. His distance athletes began what has turned into an annual tradition by helping out with event operations at The Race for the Cure, an event for those affected by breast cancer. Watts is a graduate of Thomas Edison High School in Alexandria, Va., and possesses a B.S. in history, which he earned from Tennessee in 1983. He and his wife, Karen, have a daughter, Katie.

Norbert Elliott is in his seventh season as an assistant coach at the University of Tennessee, heading the men’s sprints and hurdles contingent. His Big Orange athletes have earned 27 All-America certificates, broken five school records, claimed eight Southeastern Conference individual championships and won two NCAA individual titles. Evander Wells capped his decorated career in 2010 with nine All-America citations and as a 20-time SEC scorer. A qualifier in all eight NCAA meets he worked with Elliott, Wells placed fourth in the 200 meters at the NCAA Outdoor meet. He also was fourth in that event at SEC Indoors and eighth outdoors, while chipping in a fourth-place 100m result outdoors and a seventh-place 60m output indoors, and carded a school record in the 300m (32.72) at the Tennessee Invitational. In addition to Wells’ efforts in 2010, John Hewitt posted a career-best time to take fourth in the SEC Outdoor 400m hurdles, and sprinter Kyle Stevenson closed out his career in fine fashion. Stevenson was seventh in both the 100m and 200m at SEC Outdoors and qualified for the NCAA Outdoor meet in the 200. The 2009 season saw Wells build onto his already long list of accomplishments by earning two All-America certificates at the NCAA Indoor Championships in College Station, Texas. The awards were the seventh and eighth of his career, respectively, all achieved under Elliott’s watchful eye. In 2008, Elliott charges Wells and Rubin Williams excelled on the track. Williams earned five All-America honors in total and captured the SEC Indoor title in the 200. Wells posted a fourth-place finish in the 200 at outdoor nationals and a sixth-place finish at indoor nationals. Grouped with the fifth-place 4x100 team, that brought the total to three All-America certificates for Wells and eight for the pair. Elliott’s tutelage of Tennessee’s sprinters led to him being named USTFCCCA Mideast Region Assistant Sprints Coach of the Year in 2007. Elliott directed Williams, Wells and Stevenson to a 22-point haul in the 200m at the SEC Outdoor Championships that clinched the team title for the Tennessee men. The trio combined with Matthieu Pritchett to win the SEC 4x100 relay title and break the facility record and also clock the fourth-fastest relay time in school history while placing third at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Williams successfully defended his indoor championship, becoming the first sprinter to win the SEC 200 title indoors and outdoors in the same year since Tyson Gay in 2004. Williams finished second in the event at the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships, while Wells finished sixth indoors and fifth outdoors. Stevenson won a gold medal running for Team USA’s 4x100 relay at the Pan American Junior Championships following the season. Also that year, each of the four sprinters posted provisional-qualifying times in the 60, marking the first time in school history the Vols had four athletes meet the NCAA provisional-qualifying mark in that event. Elliott’s strong 2007 season was not limited to the track. Senior Carjay Lyles improved his personal-best mark in the triple jump by two and a half feet during the championship portion of the schedule, culminating in a seventh-place, All-America finish at the national championships and fifth place on UT’s all-time performance list in the event. Aries Merritt authored one of the best seasons in Tennessee history under the direction of Elliott in 2006. The junior went undefeated in every 55, 60 and 110 hurdles race he finished, recording 18 wins in 18 races. Along the way he broke NCAA

meet records in the 60 and 110 hurdles. His time of 13.21 from the NCAA Outdoor Championships was the second-fastest time ever recorded by a collegian in the event. Merritt, who entered the professional ranks after the season with one year of collegiate eligibility remaining, left Tennessee with 14 facility, meet or school records. During the 2005 indoor campaign, Elliott tutored three Volunteers to All-America status in three different events -- Merritt in the 60 hurdles, Jonathan Wade in the 60 and Williams in the 200. Along the way, Merritt broke the school 55 hurdles record with a 7.12 clocking. Outdoors, Elliott coached Tennessee’s 4x100 relay team to a third-place NCAA finish. Despite the fact that only one runner had competed in the event at the national level before, Tennessee’s quartet steamed to a 38.83 time, the third-fastest mark in school history. Merritt (110 hurdles) and Williams (200) also earned outdoor All-America acclaim. Merritt took the SEC 110 hurdles title in 13.38, the fastest time in the NCAA that season. Prior to joining the staff at Tennessee, Elliott earned head coaching experience during three years at Ohio Valley Conference school Murray State. He also brings knowledge of competition in the hyper-competitive SEC from a decade of service as an assistant at Georgia. Before taking the assignment in Athens, Elliott held the post of assistant track coach at the University of Texas-El Paso, his alma mater, from 1989-92. A native of the Bahamas, Elliott also brings a wealth of international coaching experience and a network of global recruiting contacts. He served as coach of the Bahamas National Team at the 2001 World Championships and 1996 Olympics and was on Bahamas staffs for the 1995 Central America and Caribbean (CAC) meet and the 2000 World Junior Championships. Among his accomplishments, he has coached Olympic gold and silver medalists in the 4x100-meter relay. Elliott worked with five NCAA champions, 10 SEC champions and 30 All-America selections at Georgia. Athletes he recruited and coached fueled the run to Georgia’s first women’s conference title in 1995. One of his star pupils, Nigeria native and Georgia school record holder Bode Osagiobare, topped out at an impressive 10.01 seconds in the 100. Ken Garrett, who set the Georgia school record in 2001 at 49.76 in the 400 hurdles, peaked at 48.61 in his specialty. As an assistant coach for UTEP (Texas-El Paso), Elliott mentored athletes who won five NCAA sprint championships and 15 conference titles. In his own athletic career, Elliott specialized in the triple jump at UTEP from 1981-85 and competed in the 1988 and 1992 Olympic Games. He placed 10th in the triple jump in the 1988 Olympics and ninth in the triple jump at the 1987 World Championships. Elliott earned his bachelor’s degree in business management from UTEP in 1987. He added a master’s degree in exercise science from the school in 1991 as well. He has five children: Danielle, Norbert II, Alexander, Dominic and Adrian. His wife, Trudy, lost her battle with cancer just prior to the 2009 season.

John Frazier is in his fifth season as a throws coach at the University of Tennessee. He joined the Tennessee staff in August 2006 after serving six years as an assistant men’s and women’s track & field coach at the University of Arizona. After working with J.J. Clark as the Lady Vol throws coach from 2006 to 2009, Frazier again added men’s coaching duties to his list of responsibilities after Clark was named the director of track & field for both the women’s and men’s programs in June 2009. It is a challenge the veteran coach gladly embraced. Frazier’s reputation in his profession is a sterling one. In fact, it earned him the honor of coaching on the international stage for the United States. In August 2007, he traveled to Osaka, Japan, and worked with the U.S. women’s throws contingent as it competed at the IAAF World Track & Field Championships. Demonstrating how he earned that reputation and awards such as 2005 USTCA National and West Region Assistant Coach of the Year for Throws, Frazier produced impressive results in his first four seasons with the Tennessee program. Among the accolades his charges earned in his brief time at Rocky Top include All-American, NCAA Regional champion, SEC champion and school record-holder. His top pupil has been Annie Alexander, who had a sensational freshman campaign in 2008, sweeping SEC Indoor and Outdoor shot put crowns and snapping 26-year-old school records indoors and out. She also added a league discus title and became the first SEC freshman female to win all three of those events in a single season. During her career, Alexander has scored seven times in SEC meets, with three runner-up finishes to go with the trio of victories, and she is a two-time All-American (third indoors and out in the shot put in 2009). She was second in the shot at SEC Indoors before redshirting outdoors in 2010. In addition to Alexander, Frazier also has several current Lady Vols who’ve contributed to the squad at the SEC level. Laquoya Kelly made the 2009 SEC Outdoor All-Freshman Team by placing sixth in the hammer throw outdoors, Jessie Harrison made the 2010 SEC Indoor All Freshman Team by taking sixth in the weight throw indoors, while Holly Kane was fifth in the javelin and Aslynn Halvorson was fifth in the discus at the 2010 SEC Outdoor meet. On the men’s side, Frazier produced a pair of SEC scorers and an NCAA qualifier in his first year working with the Vols in 2010. Senior Matt Maloney carded a fourth-place finish at SEC Outdoors and went on to compete in his fourth NCAA Outdoor meet in the javelin. Ben Bartholomew, meanwhile, came over from the football team and placed seventh indoors and sixth outdoors in the shot at the SEC meets. Other UT standouts during Frazier’s time at Tennessee include two-time All-American Shanna Dickenson, the 2007 third-place NCAA discus finisher, a 10-time scorer at the SEC level and school record-holder in the hammer throw; Amara McKell, an SEC scorer in the shot and discus; and Nia Ali, who learned the shot under Frazier and went on to win the 2007 SEC heptathlon title in her first career attempt at the event. Frazier joined the Big Orange from an Arizona program where he produced 11 All-Americans and two U.S. Junior champions. In his final year in Tucson in 2006, he had seven athletes qualify for the NCAA Championships. His pupils collectively accumulated five All-America certificates in the discus and shot put.

FrAZIEr’S HIGHLIGHTS• Athletes Frazier has coached have achieved a total of 36 All-America honors and won four NCAA Championships.• He was named 2005 USTCA National and West Region Assistant Coach of the Year for Throws.• At UT, Frazier has directed athletes to three All-America honors, four SEC titles and two NCAA regional crowns.• In 2010, Frazier helped Matt Maloney qualify for his fourth NCAA Championship meet in the javelin.• In 2008, Tennessee’s Annie Alexander became the first rookie in SEC history to win the discus and indoor and outdoor shot titles in the same season.• Alexander broke two 26-year-old school records in the shot as a rookie, tossing the ball 57-2 indoors and 57-3 outdoors.• Alexander twice toppled the Trinidad & Tobago national record in the discus in 2008, settling at 189-3 during her rookie season.• Directed Arizona’s Rachel Varner to Pac-10 discus titles in 2004 and 2006, an NCAA West Regional title in 2004 and a placing of eighth at the 2006 NCAA Outdoor Championships.• Helped UA’s Adam Kuehl chart runner-up efforts in the discus at the Pac-10 and NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2006.• Tutored Wildcat Sean Shields to third-place NCAA Indoor and Outdoor finishes in the shot and a sixth-place effort outdoors in the discus in 2006.• Guided Shields (shot put, ’02) and Kuehl (discus, ’03) to U.S. Junior Championships and Shields to an American junior record (and world junior record for a time) in the shot.• While at University of Florida, Frazier led Emily Carlsten to a runner-up finish in the javelin at the 2000 NCAA Outdoor meet and to a third-place effort at the U.S. Olympic Trials.

Before joining the Arizona staff, Frazier spent two seasons at the University of Florida, where he worked alongside J.J. Clark. During his tenure in Gainesville, Frazier helped Emily Carlsten earn a runner-up finish in the javelin at the 2000 NCAA Outdoor Championships and a third-place showing at the U.S. Olympic Trials that season. His athletes at UF also set school records in the javelin, hammer throw and 20-pound weight throw under his tutelage. Frazier’s coaching career dates back to 1988, when he joined the staff at UC Irvine. He also spent some of his formative professional years at Humboldt (Calif.) State, Cal State Northridge and Cal State Los Angeles before making the jump to the Pac-10 and SEC level. During his 22 years in the track & field coaching community, Frazier’s athletes have attained 36 All-America awards, including 13 at the NCAA Division II level. Additionally, he coached four NCAA Division II national champions and has tutored several athletes in the professional ranks. Post-collegiates who have trained with Frazier include Dawn Dumble (59-2 in the shot and 201-6 in the discus); Shaun Pickering, a 1996 British Olympian who owns the No. 3 shot put mark in his country’s history; Matt Pentecost, the 1995 U.S Junior National shot put champion; and Steve Albert, who finished seventh in the shot at the 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials. Also, Frazier worked from 2001-04 with Nigeria’s Chima Ugwu, a two-time Olympic and three-time World Championships competitor, who holds the number-two all-time discus mark in his country at 64.53m (211-8); and Finland’s Esko Mikkola from 2001-06, assisting with javelin workouts from Finnish National javelin coach Kari Ihalainen. Mikkola was a 2004 Olympic finalist and silver medalist at the 2003 World University Games who owns a PR of 84.27m (276-5). As a collegiate performer from 1982-86, Frazier was a three-time All-American at UCLA in the shot put and also competed in the hammer throw. He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from UCLA in 1986, and he has a master’s in kinesiology from his time at Cal State Northridge. A product of Lancaster, Calif., Frazier is married to the former Julia Barnes. They have two daughters, Lana (13) and Courtney (10), and one son, John Jr. (8).

Jerome Romain is in his second season as the jumps coach at the University of Tennessee. A former University of Arkansas All-American in the triple jump, the one-time SEC standout works with the Vols and Lady Vols in the long, triple and high jumps. In 2010, his presence was immediately felt. On the men’s side, Desmond Brown emerged as one of the SEC’s best in the long jump, snaring fifth outdoors at the league meet with a leap of 25-9 1/4 while taking seventh indoors. Tyler Stepp added an eighth-place result in the high jump at 6-8 3/4. For the Lady Vols, Romain helped Kia Jackson pop a personal best of 19-8 in the long jump to place fifth at SEC Indoors. He also coached long jump and high jump for Ellen Wortham, who netted fourth place in the pentathlon at the league indoor meet. In 2011, Romain returns nearly everyone in his group and welcomes several newcomers. Among them is Justin Hunter, a dual-sport (football/track) athlete who was sixth in the long jump at the 2010 World Junior Championships and is talented in the high and triple jumps as well. Romain came to Knoxville after spending four seasons as assistant coach for jumps and multi-events for the Brown University Bears. During his tenure at the Providence, R.I., school, he produced an All-American and six NCAA regional qualifiers for the Ivy League program, and saw those athletes chart three school records and 23 different top-10 BU field events performances. While he was at Brown, Romain earned the honor of coaching the track & field team for the Caribbean island nation of Dominica at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. He also helmed the country’s national team at the 2007 Pan American Games in Brazil. Prior to his move to the East Coast, Romain spent four years as a volunteer coach at the University of Wisconsin. During his stint in Madison, he produced six individual Big Ten champions and four NCAA qualifiers. Romain’s student-athletes additionally helped the Badgers win four Big Ten titles while he was there. In addition to his collegiate and international coaching experience, Romain draws from a personal history as a world-class jumper. He was a finalist at the 1996 Olympic Games and a four-time World Championships finalist in the triple jump while competing for Dominica. In 1995, as the world’s fourth ranked triple jumper, he claimed a bronze medal at the World Championships and a silver medal at the Pan American Games. Additionally, Romain won gold medals in the triple jump at the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Championships in 1995 and 1997 and was a silver medalist in 1995 in the long jump. As a collegian, Romain was a five-time national champion at Blinn (Texas) Junior College and a five-time All-American at the University of Arkansas, where he was the NCAA runner-up in the triple jump on three occasions and served as team captain in 1995. His personal bests include 57-8 1/2 in the triple jump and 26-7 1/4 in the long jump. Romain set the SEC Outdoor meet record in the triple jump in 1995 at 56-0 1/2. He remains ranked on the Razorbacks’ all-time top-10 list outdoors at No. 4 and indoors at No. 5.

A two-time U.S. Olympian and one of the most decorated female student-athletes in the history of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Sharon (Couch) Seagrave is in her first season at the University of Tennessee. Seagrave joined J.J. Clark’s staff on Oct. 27, 2010, and will direct her attention and energy toward serving as assistant track & field coach for women’s sprints and hurdles at Rocky Top. A 1991 graduate of UNC with a degree in speech commu-nications, Seagrave was an All-America performer who went on to represent the United States at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, making the finals in the long jump, and at the 2000 Sydney Olympiad, advancing to the semifinals in the 100-meter hurdles. From 1991 to 2001, the native of tiny Rice, Va., represented adidas while competing professionally around the globe. She was a member of five U.S. World Championship Teams as a long jumper. Seagrave also attained world rankings of seventh (2000) and ninth (1999) in the 100-meter hurdles. It was during that time that she became keenly aware of the school and people with which she would one day become associated. Seagrave cites some of her earliest interactions with great women in the sport of track & field as being with those from the University of Tennessee. Dorothy Doolittle, UT’s head coach from 1989-97, coached her at the 1992 Olympic Games, and Seagrave credits the savvy and technical expertise of the former Lady Vol skipper with bringing out a personal record performance during that competition. The Tar Heel great also includes former Lady Vols LaVonna Martin Floreal, with whom she was a member of the 1992 Olympic Team, as well as Benita Fitzgerald-Mosley, Sharrieffa Barksdale and Joetta Clark as those who’ve impacted her through their suc-cess on the track and the way they’ve carried themselves, both during and after their competitive careers. Since 2000, the new Lady Vol aide has directed Sharon Seagrave Training in Woodstock, Ga., utilizing 10-plus years of training and performance expertise to educate coaches, athletes and trainers across the country. She created and delivered skill-specific track & field clinics for state coaches associations in Georgia, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio and Wisconsin. Seagrave, who recently has been devoting time as assistant track & field coach for The Atlanta International School, has spent a great deal of her post-competitive years employed in various corporate pursuits that utilized her high-energy personality and SEAGrAVE’S HIGHLIGHTS

competitive spirit. Among her most recent positions, she was with Masai U.S. Corporation, a physiology footwear company, serving as national director of training/retail account trainer for the Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) brand from 2007 to 2009. And, in order to join the staff at UT, she departed a sales representative position with Cintas Corporation. Focusing first on her competitive career and later on raising children, Loren (8) and Ryan (6), Seagrave always felt called to enter the coaching ranks someday. The timing finally was right, and she calls “the opportunity to represent this program and build champions at UT” one of the two major defining moments of her life. The first was when she decided to pursue her Olympic dreams. Looking back to her college days as a Tar Heel, Seagrave was a four-year team captain and three-time Atlantic Coast Con-ference Most Valuable Performer while leading UNC to seven straight league titles. Among the events she competed in while there included the long and triple jumps, the 100-meter hurdles, the 100 and 200 meters and the 4x100m relay. She amassed all-league kudos on seven occasions and claimed seven ACC titles individually, including 55m hurdles crowns indoors in 1988, 1990 and 1991, and outdoor 100m hurdles victories in 1990 and 1991. She also won the long jump indoors in 1988 and outdoors in 1989. A five-time All-American, she qualified for all eight NCAA Championship meets (indoors/outdoors) during her collegiate career. She was named UNC’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year and was the recipient of the Patterson Gold Medal in 1991, the first African American woman and only fourth female ever to claim those honors in school history at the time. Additionally, she was president of The Monogram Club and sat on the UNC Athletic Council, representing the school’s 800 student-athletes. Prior to earning a scholarship to North Carolina, Seagrave attended Amelia County High School. As a senior, she won five events and finished second in a sixth at the state championship meet, breaking four Virginia prep records. She also won the long jump and 100m hurdles at the USATF Junior Olympics and made the U.S. World Junior Team in the long jump as well.

“I’ve known Sharon for a very long time, and she just has great knowledge of the sport and the ability to commu-nicate that knowledge well,” Clark said. “Those are just a couple of the traits that I look for when it comes to picking a coach. She’s very good at expressing herself and captivat-ing the imaginations of student-athletes. “She knows all of the sprint events well. She’s personally run the hurdles, the 100, the 200 and 4x100, so her knowledge of those events is very good. She also has the personality and ability to go out and sell Tennessee and help us build a more consistent program in the sprints area. That’s why we hired her.”

Russ Johnson is in his sixth year as the men’s pole vault coach at Rocky Top, and he will work alongside jumps coach Jerome Romain for second season. Johnson returned to The Hill in 2006 with the goal of helping Tennessee’s pole vaulters continue to build on their long history of dominance in the Southeastern Conference. He has done ex-actly that, and with great consistency, since taking over coach-ing duties in the event. Johnson’s vaulters have won eight SEC titles during his tenure at Tennessee. UT pole vaulters have combined to score 150.50 points at 10 SEC Championships since Johnson began coaching, an average of just over 15 points per competition. An injury to top-returning vaulter Joe Berry lessened the point production in 2010, but Robert Rasnick (sixth) and Berry (t8th) managed to score indoors. Rasnick and Brad Holtz also qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships. In 2009, Johnson’s vaulters posted a 1-2-4 finish at the SEC Indoor Championships and a 1-4-7 outcome at the SEC Out-door meet. The champion at both meets was Berry, who won three-straight SEC pole vault crowns under Johnson and also has a runner-up finish to his credit. Berry’s wins, along with top-eight finishes from Holtz and Michael Ayers both indoors and outdoors, meant Johnson had coached at least three athletes to scoring performances at five-consecutive conference meets. In 2008, Johnson directed Michael Hogue to his third-straight SEC crown indoors and Berry to a conference title outdoors while Holtz managed two scoring performances and Ayers secured one. Outdoors in 2007, Johnson had four vaulters score 24.5 points in the pole vault to give Tennessee the lead in the team standings on Saturday afternoon, helping the Vols to the pro-gram’s 25th conference outdoor title. Johnson also is responsible for putting Hogue and Berry on the program’s all-time top-10 list in the pole vault. Berry is ninth at 5.41m (17-9) and Hogue is 10th at 5.40m (17-8 1/2 in-doors). Holtz sits at 12th on the all-time list with a top clearance of 5.30m (17-4.5). Johnson also boasts a successful career as a Tennessee athlete. He currently stands second on Tennessee’s storied pole vault top-10 list with a best of (5.65m) 18-6.5, trailing only col-legiate record holder Lawrence Johnson. Serving as a fifth-year coach in 2000 and training post-colle-giately in 2000 and 2001, Johnson remained involved in the pole vault and has continued to diligently study the event. He also holds firm beliefs about the importance of developing strong student-athletes, authoring two Academic All-America seasons himself. Johnson received his bachelor’s (2000) and master’s (2002)degrees in sports medicine from the University of Tennessee. He went on to earn a master’s in physical therapy from the Medi-

DAVIDJOB

Volunteer Assistant(Women’s Pole Vault)

Ninth Year

Back for his ninth season in charge of the Lady Vol pole vaulters is former University of Tennessee record-holder David Job. A native of Oak Ridge, Tenn., Job previously spent 12 years coaching high school vaulters throughout the Knoxville metropolitan area before lending his expertise to the Big Orange program in 2003. The past eight seasons have seen Job develop school-record-setting athletes as well as SEC scorers and NCAA qualifiers. His pupils hold the top four outdoor marks and the top three indoor heights in school history. The most recent Lady Vol to join that club was Alicia Essex, whom Job developed into a three-time SEC scorer. A third-place finisher at the league outdoor meet in 2009, Essex finished her career No. 2 on the UT outdoor list at 13-7 1/4 and third indoors at 13-0 3/4. In 2004, sophomore Jessica Reust benefitted from Job’s tutelage, blossoming into the school’s top vaulter outdoors, winning the SEC Outdoor title and advancing to the NCAA Championship meet in June. In only her second year at UT, Reust carded the best-ever clearance outdoors by a Tennessee woman, sailing over 13-3.50 to claim the SEC crown in May 2004 and become the third Lady Vol to win that event outdoors since 1998. She increased the standard to 13-7.75 in 2006 in a third-place effort at the SEC Outdoor Championships. Reust stands at number two on the Lady Vols’ career indoor performers list, with a third-place outcome of 13-1 at the 2005 SEC Indoor Championships. Job also developed Jessica Andrews and Kendra Rhyne into SEC-caliber competitors before they completed their collegiate careers in 2005. Rhyne scored points for her squad in eighth position indoors and sixth place outdoors at the 2004 SEC Championships and carded a tie for eighth at the 2005 conference outdoor gathering. Andrews, meanwhile, managed a tie for eighth at the 2005 SEC Indoor Championships. During the 2003 campaign, he worked with senior vaulter Christie Elwin and helped the Australian increase her then-indoor and outdoor school records to 13-2.25 and earn her first trip to the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Elwin’s top finishes included taking fourth at the SEC Indoor meet and fifth at the first-ever NCAA Mideast Regional, charting school standards on each occasion. During his dozen years of coaching prior to UT, his prep pupils won titles or placed at the state championship meet in each of those seasons. In 2002, one of the student-athletes he directed, Andy Lane Jr., won the Young Men division at the AAU Junior Olympics. Other Job proteges have set women’s records at numerous meets, including the Knoxville News Sentinel Relays and the Volunteer Track Classic. Among recent charges are three Lady Vols who hail from the Knoxville metropolitan area. He guided Rhyne to a state title and Tennessee record in 2001, Reust to a state crown in 2002 and also worked with Andrews. Additionally, he helped male vaulters Nate and Jake Parkhurst win a state championship in 2000 and finish second in 2001, respectively. Job is in his second stint as a coach at UT, having worked with the men’s program as assistant vault coach from 1970-72. He did so after a standout career at Tennessee, in which he earned three letters and claimed the school pole vault record in 1965. Before Job’s college career ended, however, he was called to serve his country in the Army during the Vietnam War from the fall of 1966 until the fall of 1969. He later returned to Big Orange Country and resumed his studies in the School of Architecture,

earning his diploma in 1973. During a military assignment in Germany, Job vaulted in Europe for the “Mannheim Turniern und Sport Gellsellshaft” Sports Club, setting that organization’s record in the event. During that time, he also etched his name in the record books by achieving the best clearance for the Rhine Pfaltz District in Germany. In his full-time occupation, Job is president of The Learning Network, Inc., an e-learning company focused on corporate training. The father of grown children Jeni and Matt, Job still resides in Oak Ridge.

Johnson is also a Certified Athletic Trainer and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. He is married to Lesly (Love) Johnson, a former Lady Vol pole vaulter and All-America sprinter. They welcomed a new daughter to the family in 2009, Lily Charlotte Johnson.

Bill Schmidt joined the University of Tennessee track & field staff for his third tour of duty and offers the Vol and Lady Vol javelin throwers a great resource in that event. He previously served as an assistant coach at UT from 1973-76 and as a vol-unteer aide from 1982-83, both times on the staff of head coach Stan Huntsman. An Olympic athlete, Olympic organizer, corporate executive, sports marketing pioneer and educator, Schmidt grew up in west-ern Pennsylvania, the son of a coal miner. Competing in high school sports at Canon-McMillan High School in Canonsburg, his path to college athletics was as a walk-on, non-scholarship athlete at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. He would eventually earn a scholarship at UNT, collect All-America honors via a runner-up javelin finish at the 1970 NCAA Championships and graduate with a degree in business admin-istration. After being drafted into the U.S. Army, he continued his jav-elin career, winning a World Championship, setting a world re-cord and winning the bronze medal at the Munich Olympics in 1972. He remains the only American to medal in the javelin at the Olympic Games since 1952 (a span of 58 years). His career in sports marketing began at the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tenn., where he was director of sports. He de-veloped, packaged, managed and sold 23 sporting events over the six-month run of the Fair. The Gatorade Sports Hall of Fame at the Fair, was managed and developed by Schmidt. Later, he joined Gatorade at Stokely Van Camp in Indianapolis, Ind., as director of sports development. Having been recruited to join the Los Angeles Olympic Or-ganizing Committee, Bill took a leave of absence to become vice president of sports at the LAOOC. There he managed track & field, boxing, wrestling, baseball, judo, modern pentathlon, weightlifting and soccer. In addition he was responsible for all 63 training sites, equipment and writing the final report. After assist-ing in making the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics the most success-ful Olympics in history, he returned to Gatorade, now owned by the Quaker Oats Company located in Chicago. There he helped grow the brand from $83 million to nearly $2 billion before his departure to become the CEO at Oakley. Schmidt currently is president of Pegasus Sports Market-ing, where he works as a consultant to Fortune 500 compa-nies who want to sell their products and services by leveraging sports. He’s an adjunct professor at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, where he earned his master’s degree in business education. He’s also an avid golfer, world traveler and a Harley Davidson motorcycle enthusiast.

Coach J.J. Clark and his full-time staff once again have former world record-holding triple jumper Charlie Simpkins assisting their efforts and providing them an invaluable resource. A two-time Olympian and silver medalist in 1992, he will lend his knowledge and savvy to UT’s jumps corps for the 10th consecutive season. Simpkins’ insights have been helpful in developing the Big Orange jumps group, which has included former American collegiate indoor long jump record-holder Tianna Madison, who won the IAAF World Outdoor Championship, NCAA and SEC Indoor and Outdoor titles and an NCAA Mideast Region outdoor crown, all in 2005, before she turned pro after her sophomore season. During her second campaign in Knoxville, Madison became only the second American woman (Jackie Joyner Kersee is the other) to strike long jump gold at Worlds and the third (JJK and Marion Jones did so) to medal in that event. Amazingly, Madison also was the first active Lady Vol track & field athlete to win at Worlds. Among the plethora of awards Simpkins’ tutelage helped Madison receive were Sports Illustrated On Campus magazine Women’s Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Year, SEC Indoor Women’s Field Event Athlete of the Year and USTCA Mideast Region Women’s Outdoor Athlete of the Year. Madison was also a finalist for the Honda Sports Award for Track & Field. Along with former UT aide Caryl Smith Gilbert, Simpkins played a role in Madison’s explosion to an American collegiate record-tying 22-3 at the NCAA undercover meet and 22-7.25 at the World Championships. Madison also had a barely-windy leap of 22-8.50 (2.2 mps) that was the longest women’s mark ever recorded in the 25-year history of the event at the SEC Outdoor Championships. In 2010, Vol long jumper Desmond Brown burst onto the conference scene, placing seventh indoors and rising to fifth outdoors with a career-best leap of 25-9 1/4. Lady Vol long jumper Kia Jackson also popped off a personal-record measurement of 19-8 to snare fifth at the SEC Indoor meet. Edra Finley displayed remarkable improvement in 2005 under the watchful eye of Simpkins. As a sophomore in 2005, Finley moved herself to number two on UT’s indoor triple jump list with a third-place leap of 41-8 at the SEC Indoor Championships. Outdoors, she ascended to third on the Lady Vol career charts with a mark of 40-9.75 and was on her way to more before an injury brought her campaign to a halt prior to the SEC meet. Celriece Law and Lynne Layne are two recent UT athletes to benefit from Simpkins’ advice. As a redshirt freshman in 2006, Law moved past Finley to number two on UT’s indoor and outdoor all-time triple jump performers lists and scored in that event from 2006-09 at the SEC Indoor and Outdoor Championships. Law also scored in the long jump at the conference level for the first time in her collegiate career, taking third at the 2007 SEC Outdoor meet, while teammate Layne was sixth. Layne followed that up by taking sixth in 2008, at both the league indoor and outdoor competitions, and eighth in 2009 at SEC Indoors. A native of Aiken, S.C., Simpkins enjoyed a stellar post-collegiate career from 1985-95, participating in every national and international competition imaginable. In five of those seasons, he finished the year ranked among the top five in the world in the triple jump. The pinnacle, of course, was his jump of 57-9 that enabled him to earn runner-up status at the 1992 Olympic Games. With a career best of 58-7 1/4, Simpkins has been ranked among the 10 all-time best triple jumpers in the world, according to Track & Field News. That fact is amazing, considering he didn’t

MIkEHAMILTOnMen’s Athletics Director

Eighth Year

Appointed to the position of director of athletics in 2003, Ham-ilton’s stewardship of the Tennessee brand continues to ascend to unprecedented new heights.

Success on a national level has long been a staple of Tennes-see athletics, and under Hamilton’s watch, this trend has contin-ued. The Vols have placed in the top 16 in the NACDA Director’s Cup six times in the last seven years, including two top-10 finishes. The competitive excellence exhibited by the Vols between the lines also has translated to the classroom, where in the spring of 2009, more than 51 percent of Tennessee’s student-athletes earned a GPA of 3.0 or better. Operating as the CEO of an organization with a $100-million-plus annual budget, Volunteer success during Hamilton’s watch has not been limited to the athletic and academic arenas, as fund-raising success has also been remarkable. Donations to UT athlet-ics totaled $4 million when he arrived on Rocky Top in 1992. By the time he assumed the director of athletics position in 2003, that total had increased nearly 500 percent ($19.5 million). And by 2010, athletics development fundraising efforts had risen to $43.4 mil-lion, which is more than double the total when Hamilton assumed his current post. This record of financial and development success has paid divi-dends for all sports in the Tennessee athletics program, as in ad-dition to the Neyland Stadium upgrades, there was a total renova-tion of Thompson-Boling Arena that transformed it into one of the premier venues in the nation. Additionally, state-of-the-art facilities such as Lee Softball Stadium, Pratt Pavilion and Regal Soccer Stadium have been constructed, and there remains another $178 million worth of athletic construction projects still in the planning phases. The Hamiltons reside in Knoxville and have three sons—Mat-thew, Nate and Kiya—and two daughters—Madison and Kalu.

JOAnCrOnAn

Women’s Athletics Director28th Year

Triumphant collegiate programs are able to distinguish them-selves from their counterparts because of superiority on the field of competition and within the classroom. Under the vision and di-rection of Women’s Athletics Director Joan Cronan, the University of Tennessee Lady Vols have garnered a reputation as one of the most visible and respected programs throughout the nation. UT’s success in the athletic and academic realms speaks volumes about her decision making and leadership, as demonstrated by her appointment to the 2010 NCAA Div. I Leadership Council and selection as the president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) in 2008-09. Cronan is also a former president of the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA). Cronan joined UT from the College of Charleston, where she served as the athletics director for 10 years and was later inducted into that institution’s hall of fame. Under Cronan, the school was selected as the No. 1 women’s athletics program in the country in 1980 by the American Women’s Sports Foundation. As a former coach, Cronan served a two-year stint at Tennessee from 1968 to 1970. In 1969, she led the women’s basketball team to an alternate berth in the first-ever National Invitational Collegiate Basketball Tournament. While at Charleston, she continued her success, not only as a basketball coach but in tennis as well. In 1981, she gave up coaching to devote her full-time attention to her duties as teacher and athletics director. A graduate of LSU, Cronan earned her B.S. in 1966 and her M.S. in 1968, both in physical education. She was a fall 1995 inductee into LSU’s Alumni Hall of Distinction. Cronan makes her home in Gettysvue. She and her late husband Tom, who passed away on Aug. 18, 2006, after a valiant battle with pancreatic cancer, have two daughters; Kristi (Mrs. Rhett Benner) and Stacey (Mrs. Kent Bristow), both 1994 graduates of UT; three grandsons, Chase Thomas and Reed Kent Bristow, and Quinn Leighton Benner; and two granddaughters, Reese Lauren Benner and Larkin Ann Bristow.

Dr. Jimmy G. Cheek became the seventh chancellor of the University of Tennessee’s Knoxville campus on Feb. 1, 2009. Prior to his appointment as chancellor, Dr. Cheek served at the University of Florida for 34 years where he held numerous administrative roles. He was senior vice president of agricultural and natural re-sources, dean of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS), assistant dean of the College of Agriculture and assistant chair of his department. Throughout his tenure, Dr. Cheek served in numerous leadership roles and received several excellence in teaching awards from the UF community and professional orga-nizations. Dr. Cheek earned his bachelor’s degree with high honors and his Ph.D. from Texas A&M University. He received his master’s degree from Lamar University. A native of Texas, he is married to Ileen. They have two adult children and two grandchildren.

2010 SEASON IN REVIEW The 2010 season was one of transition for the University of Tennessee track & field program. Long-time Lady Vol coach J.J. Clark took the reins as the school’s first-ever director over both the men’s and women’s teams. While many challenges presented themselves along the way, the year produced a number of memorable accomplishments. It also allowed a foundation to be built, from which Clark and his staff are committed to elevating both teams into position to compete for hardware at the conference and national levels. Indoors, the Lady Vols continued to dwell among the nation’s elite teams, following up an NCAA Championship in 2009 with a runner-up outcome that few saw coming in 2010. “There is no coach in the country who would have said we’d be second in this meet,” said Clark. “It’s been that way for a number of years, where we come in here never the favorite, and we seem to do better. That’s a sign of the kids and a great staff really getting it done. It’s just something that our program has become known for.” That surprise effort in Fayetteville, Ark., was fueled by NCAA event titles in the 800 meters by senior Phoebe Wright and UT’s third-straight national title in the distance medley relay (DMR). The tandem pulling off that feat was Wright and sophomores Ellen Wortham, Chanelle Price and Brittany Sheffey. Regarding Wright joining the program as a walk-on and developing into the runner she became, Clark said, “It’s very rewarding to see her come out on top. She’s worked hard. She has a great story. From walk-on to national champion, that’s something that is very, very special. “She is a great student, and has earned lots of academic ac-colades as well. She just does it all, so it’s very pleasing to see her be successful in competition” Wright also helped UT’s DMR to glory in a race that had the most excitement and drama of any all year. After Wright, Wortham and Price set Sheffey up with a 30-meter lead via their 1200m (3:22.21), 400m (54.07) and 800m (2:06.12) legs, Sheffey closed the deal with a 4:35.98 1600m hitch. Shef-fey’s turn with the baton, however, didn’t come without a truckload of tension. Her huge lead eventually vanished, as Sheffey followed her coach’s orders and ran conservatively during the first half of the race in order to store some reserve for a strong close. After getting their teams back into the picture, Oregon super frosh Jordan Hasay and Georgetown’s Emily Infield took it a step further and moved past the UT runner with 700 meters to go. Sheffey hung tough, though, and with 400 remaining, she surged back into the lead with Hasay on her heels. On the final lap, the two slugged it out in an incredible battle of fortitude, with Sheffey rising to the challenge and holding the high pro-file rookie at bay down the home-stretch. “ I t was very rewarding seeing the youngsters give their best, and that’s what’s so exciting for me,” Clark said. “No one expected us to win. No one knew Brittany Shef-fey, and no one thought we had an anchor leg. It is just very exciting to see them all pull togeth-

er as a unit and get this done.” Price chipped in a fourth-place effort in the 800 behind Wright, and junior Jackie Areson added a third-place finish in the 5000 meters in a school-record time of 15:53.12 and a fourth-place effort in the 3000m at the national meet as well. “Jack ie d idn ’ t even make the meet last year,” Clark said. “For her to come back this season and do what she’s done is very special. She got it together, we worked very hard, and she did a good job. Her focus, commitment and dedication to what she does this year has been at a higher level, and I’m extremely proud of her.” Those efforts enabled Areson, Wright, Wortham, Price and Sheffey to collect United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Indoor All-America honors. For the Vols, the indoor season was a difficult one, as they tried to adjust to the offseason staff and roster changes that came with Bill Webb’s retirement. While there would be signs of promise in the second half of the season, the first half was one the team wanted to disappear from its rearview mirror as quickly as possible. Senior Evander Wells was the Big Orange’s lone representative at the NCAA Indoor Championships, qualifying in the 60 and 200 meters. He wound up 12th in the 60 meters, unable to make it out of the preliminary round. Perhaps illustrating just how tough UT’s season would be, Wells ran a 200m time that advanced him to the final sixth fastest, only to be disqualified moments later for “impeding the progress of another runner.” “It was very, very frustrating,” said Clark, who lodged an unsuc-cessful protest to the ruling. “Evander had trained very well, and he got disqualified. There was a little confusion with the infraction he committed, but the final result was he was disqualified. It’s very unfortunate.” Two weekends earlier at the SEC Indoor meet in Fayetteville, UT’s women carded a fourth-place team finish. Recording victories for the Big Orange were Wright in the 800m, Areson in the 5000m and the distance medley quartet of Wright, Price, junior Kim White and Areson. Wright won her first SEC individual title in a career-best time of 2:01.47. Price was second in 2:03.12, her fastest mark as well. “Phoebe came here, answered the bell and ran a PR at a big meet,” Clark said. “She had the fastest time coming in, so it was no surprise that she ran fast. “It’s still gratifying to see her do that. It also was a PR for Chanelle and is one of the fastest times in SEC history and No. 2 in the country behind Phoebe this year.” Areson entered as the SEC’s 5K leader in 2010 and walked away a winner in 16:15.12. “She was the best runner in the field, and I thought she’d win,” Clark said of Areson. “Just because you are expected to do something, though, doesn’t mean you’re always going to do it. What’s more impressive is how (relaxed) she looked. I am really proud of what she did.” The DMR unit, meanwhile, helped Clark’s squad claim the fourth straight title and sixth win in seven years in that event. The Lady Vols came from behind, with Areson speeding ahead

of Arkansas on the final lap to deliver an 11:14.59 readout that snapped the previous league standard of 11:16.61, set by UT in 2004. “It’s an SEC meet record, and to run that fast at the end of the meet when you’ve already run several events is very impressive,” Clark said. “They just did a great job of getting it done. I give them the credit for coming out here, sticking their hearts into it and doing their best.” For her handiwork, Wright was named the SEC Indoor Runner of the Year, following in the footsteps of Lady Vol Sarah Bowman a season earlier. Wright joined Price, White and Areson as first-team All-SEC selections. Making the second team for runner-up performances were junior Annie Alexander in the shot put and Sheffey in the mile and 3000m, while Jessie Harrison (6th, weight throw) and Kia Jackson (5th, long jump) made the SEC Indoor All-Freshman Team. The Tennessee men, meanwhile, struggled to a program-low 10th-place finish at SEC indoors, scoring only 24.5 points. Senior Evander Wells, as he often did during his stellar career, produced the top result with a fourth-place showing in the 200m at 20.88. He also ended up seventh in the 60m at 6.81. The line-up of seniors John Hewitt and Samdi Fraser, freshman Terrance Livingston and junior Varick Tucker contributed UT’s only other top-five placing, running the 4x400m relay in a season-best 3:10.34 to nab fifth. “Last year, the team was eighth before I took over,” Clark said. “We lost a ton of people after that point, beyond our control. This is a work in progress, and you have to be realistic and understand that you lost some key people to graduation and during the transition (after Bill Webb’s retirement). You add sprinter Dentarius Locke being unable to compete this season and Joe Morris opting not to return this semester, coupled with the fact you can’t immediately replace these losses through recruiting, and that makes it very difficult. “Rome wasn’t built in a day. Through time, we will move up the ladder. We’re definitely going to get back home, work overtime and make sure we get this right. We will answer the bell.” The outdoor season saw the Lady Vols send seven to Eugene, Ore., and post a tie for 26th at the NCAA Championships, while the Vols upped their total of national qualifiers to five and got on the scoreboard with five points to notch a tie for 45th. After winning the NCAA Indoor crown in March, Wright broke out her broom and put a tidy end on an undefeated senior year in the 800 meters. She completed an indoor/outdoor season NCAA sweep in that event by logging a readout of 2:01.40 before 11,972 at Hayward Field, giving the Lady Vols their only 10 points of the meet. With her tri-umph, Wright be-came the fifth wom-an in NCAA history to win both indoor and outdoor nation-al titles in the 800 in the same sea-son. Among that quintet were Joetta Clark of Tennessee (1983) and Hazel Clark of Florida (1998), the sisters of Wright’s coach, Clark. Wright also joined Joetta Clark (1983, 1984) and D e l i s a Wa l t o n (1982) in the com-pany of Lady Vols

who’ve claimed NCAA Outdoor 800m wins. “It was a good win,” J.J. Clark said. “It was very windy, but she went out there and did what she normally does. I knew she was in con-trol; I knew she had a change of gears and thought she could have gone to another gear if it was necessary. “She handled her-self well. It’s hard to lead wire-to-wire in the wind like that, but she’s very strong. She thought she was the best, and she ran that way. I was happy to have the win, because when you come to the NCAA meet, it’s not about the time; it’s about winning, and that’s what she did.” Wright was the lone Lady Vol All-American, winding up her career as a nine-time honoree. She also garnered USTFCCA South Region Track Athlete of the Year kudos for her outdoor campaign. The Vols also boasted an All-American, with Wells authoring the ninth award-winning performance of his career. He did so in the 200 meters, where he covered the distance in 20.61 to check in fourth in his final collegiate meet. “It was very good to see Evander execute well out of lane two,” Clark said. “That is not the most optimal lane. He’s had some adversity (injury earlier in outdoor season) and the misfortune at the NCAA Indoor meet, but he just kept his nose to the grindstone. “He’s one of the best in the country, and he went out and proved it. The conditions weren’t ideal for sprinting, but he didn’t let anything bother him.” Two weeks earlier, the Tennessee squads had the honor of hosting the SEC Outdoor Championships at the newly-refurbished Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium. Despite four separate weather delays over the course of the four-day meet, the Lady Vols and Vols managed to crank out some memories on their home oval. On the women’s side, UT pocketed two SEC titles and three runner-up finishes en route to 62 points and a sub-par seventh place team result. First-team All-SEC honorees Wright and Areson completed season sweeps of league titles in the 800m and 5000m, respectively, while Sheffey secured runner-up status in the 5000m and 1500m (4:19.34), and Wortham knocked out a second-place finish in the 400m hurdles with a 57.77 readout to help that duo earn second-team all-league kudos. Wright matched a Lady Vol legend and four-time Olympian when she recorded her fourth SEC 800m title to equal the feat of Joetta Clark. The senior claimed her fourth consecutive conference crown in that event in a then-season-best time of 2:01.81. “We expected Phoebe to do that,” Clark said. “She’s been very tough in her races, and she’s executed extremely well. It was raining a little bit, and the track had some puddles on it, but she disregarded all of that and got it done and looked really good in the process.” In the 5000m race, Areson grew impatient with the pace midway through and turned the event into a one-woman race en route to a victorious 16:20.89 clocking. Teammate Sheffey made a run on the final lap and narrowed the gap with Areson, finishing in a career-best 16:21.93 to take second in the 5K. “Jackie Areson, after not having her best 1500m race, regrouped mentally and got it done in the 5K and became a 5K

Jackie Areson won the 5000 meters at the SEC Indoor Championships and anchored UT to a meet record in the distance medley relay.

a school record in the 300m. During the indoor campaign, Areson set three school records. In addition to lowering the new 5000m mark to 15:53.12 at the NCAA meet, she broke it for the first time at the Husky Classic in Seattle. She also captured the 3000m UT best at the Penn State National, finishing that race in 9:07.27. After the conclusion of the college season, UT was represented in good fashion at the USA Outdoor C h a m p i o n s h i p s . Wright ran a season-best 2:00.47 to finish third in the 800m. She would go on to break the school record a week later at the Prefontaine Classic, clocking in fourth against an international field in 1:58.22. Also at the USA meet, Wells checked in fourth in the 200m, sophomore Desmond Brown was seventh in the long jump at 25-9.50, and Ellen Wortham was eighth in the 400m hurdles in 58.81 after running a PR of 56.83 in the semifinals. In the junior portion of the meet, Harrison had the best outcome, taking sixth in the hammer throw at 173-0. Academically, it was another highly-successful year for Tennessee track & field. Wright, with her 3.97 grade point average in the double major of biochemistry and cellular and molecular biology, and ecology and evolutionary biology was a star in the classroom as well. She was named the USTFCCCA Indoor Track National Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the SEC H. Boyd McWhorter Women’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year for all sports, the SEC Women’s Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year and the recipient of an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. Additionally, she was named an ESPN The Magazine first-team Academic All-American for the second straight season and was named that squad’s Academic All-American of the Year this time around. Areson joined Wright on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Team, and those two joined Price on the Academic All-District IV squad as well. The Lady Vols were named the USTFCCCA Indoor Track & Field Scholar Team of the Year for the second straight season, and Wright was joined on the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team by Areson, freshman Aslynn Halvorson, senior Holly Kane, freshman Martinique Octave, Price and Wortham. The Vols picked up a few academic accolades of their own. Hewitt and Maloney were selected to the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team, and Maloney matched Wright on the men’s side by being named the SEC Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year as well. For their work around campus and in the community, Lady Vol Holly Kane and Vol Steve Fassino were chosen to the SEC Track & Field Community Service Team. Finally, a total of 19 Lady Vols and 16 Vols were named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll, while three Lady Vols and a Vol were chosen to the SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll.

champion outdoors. It was something that she was striving to do and looked good. “The surprise was Brittany Sheffey coming back (from the 1500m) and taking second in the 5K at this meet. She’s really done a great job, and I am very proud of her.” The Vols scored 46 points and improved one spot to ninth outdoors, displaying a competitive spirit despite their depleted ranks. Wells (100m), Hewitt (400mH) and fellow senior Matt Maloney (javelin) led the way with fourth-place finishes for the home team. Despite suffering a slight injury during the meet, Wells scored in SEC competition for the 19th and 20th times during his illustrious days in orange. In addition to running 10.24 to hit the line fourth in the straight sprint, he checked in eighth in the 200m in 21.92 despite his ailment. Hewitt joined with Lady Vol Wortham to fashion dual impressive showings for UT in the 400m hurdles. His personal-best 51.39 effort earned him the first individual SEC points of his career for fourth place. “I liked the way John Hewitt came through in the 400m hurdles,” Clark said. “He ran with passion and emotion. Ellen has become a game day performer, as well, and these are the types of athletes we have to have on our squad, getting it done for us.” Maloney, meanwhile, saw his bid for an SEC championship in the javelin throw come up short. The two-time league runner-up, who entered the meet with the conference’s number-two mark in 2010, checked in fourth with a fling of 217 feet, three inches. Hedid though, complete a successful comeback after missing the entire 2009 season and redshirting due to injury. Livingston collected UT’s first men’s all-league recognition during the campaign, snaring SEC Outdoor All-Freshman Team membership for his seventh-place showing in the 800m. During the course of the season, there were other highwater marks. One of those occurred in Philadelphia, Pa., where, for the second straight year, the Lady Vols claimed a trio of the famed Championships of America in baton events at the Penn Relays. Sheffey, Wortham, Wright and Areson joined forces to win the DMR in 10:54.65. Price, Areson, Sheffey and Wright claimed victory in the 4x1500m in 17:14.91. To close out the meet, McDonald, Price, Sheffey and Wright brought the baton home first in the 4x800m relay via an 8:18.22 clocking. That mark was just 31/100ths of a second off UT’s year-old American record. With a final-day crowd of 54,310 looking on, Wright anchored the 4x800 unit to victory with the fastest women’s split in meet history at 2:00.89. That effort enabled her to close our her stellar career at the meet with six relay crowns. Wells turned in fine performances at a pair of home meets. At the Sea Ray Relays, his sweep of the 100m and 200m titles and anchor leg for the Vols’ victorious 4x200m relay merited the Tony Wilson Award for Running Events. A few weeks later, at the Tennessee Invitational, the senior speedster uncorked a 32.72 readout to chart

As the bell sounds for the final lap, Brittany Sheffey makes her move and goes on to hand UT its third straight NCAA DMR title.

THE SOUTHEaSTErn COnFErEnCE The Southeastern Conference, with its storied 77-year history of athletic achievements and academic excellence, has built perhaps the greatest tradition of intercollegiate competition of any league in the country since its inception in 1933. The 2009-10 academic year was another season to remember for the SEC, as conference teams captured four national titles and four national runner-up finishes. The SEC has won consecutive national championships in baseball and football. Since 1990, the SEC has won 135 national team championships for an average of more than six per year. Alabama won the SEC’s first national title of the year with its win in the BCS National Championship Game in football. It is the SEC’s fourth consecutive football national title. Florida captured its second women’s swimming and diving national championship. Florida also won its first ever championship in men’s indoor track and field. South Carolina won the national championship in the sport of baseball. Florida finished first among Southeastern Conference schools and second overall in the Director’s Cup final standings. Overall, the SEC finished in the top two in nine of its 20 sponsored sports and in the top five in 14 of the 20 sports. Ten SEC teams participated in football postseason bowls with Alabama, Florida, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Auburn and Georgia winning the BCS National Title Game, Sugar, Cotton, Liberty, Outback, and Independence Bowls, respectively. Four men’s basketball teams were invited to the NCAA Tournament and seven women’s basketball teams also were invited to the NCAA Tournament. The SEC had a eight teams advance to postseason play in baseball, with four teams hosting regionals and South Carolina and Florida moving on to the College World Series. With 145 teams advancing to NCAA postseason competition, the SEC continued to solidify its place as the nation’s premier conference. In addition to the four team championships, 41 SEC student-athletes garnered individual national championships, while 440 individuals were awarded with First-Team All-America honors. Student-athletes around the league continued to excel in the classroom, as well, with more than 2,300 earning recognition on the SEC Academic Honor Roll. On the national all-sport level, 11 SEC schools placed in the top 60 of the NACDA Director’s Cup rankings. Florida led the league with a second-place finish. Tennessee placed 16th,

while LSU was 19th, Georgia finished 20th, Alabama 23rd, Auburn 26th, Kentucky 29th, South Carolina 41st, Arkansas 46th, Ole Miss 56th and Vanderbilt 59th to round out the league’s top-60 finishes.

LADY VOL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

2009 NCAA INDOOr CHAMPIONS The second-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols traveled deep into the heart of Texas and captured their second NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championship in the past five seasons before a crowd of 4,917 at Texas A&M’s Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium. The nine-member Lady Vol squad scored 42 points, enough to clinch the vic-tory with two events remaining, and won the program’s third overall national title to go along with another NCAA Indoor title in 2005 and an AIAW Outdoor crown in 1981. Texas A&M, who defeated the Lady Vols head-to-head in a home dual meet on Jan. 24, 83-69, gamely tallied 37 points to place second. BYU was third with 33, followed by Texas (31) and Arizona State (30) rounding out the top five. “The character and heart of this team was just unbelievable,” seventh-year UT Head Coach J.J. Clark said. “What they did today, coming out here competing and breaking meet and school records, it’s just an unbelievable performance by the entire team. A world record in the DMR, 8.04 in the 100 hurdles, 4:29 in the mile, 57-2 in the shot and then Phoebe Wright, who was really sick last week, coming here and giving her best performance today, was absolutely critical. I am really proud of what they’ve done. Senior Sarah Bowman started the day in grand fashion for the Big Orange by cap-turing her first-ever NCAA individual crown and her third overall national triumph in a meet-record and school-best clocking of four minutes, 29.72 seconds in the mile run.

She dramatically out-leaned Texas Tech’s sensational Sally Kipyego at the finish line after a fabulous final-lap fight for victory and became the school’s first-ever NCAA mile champion. In the 60-meter hurdles, senior Celriece Law provided the race of her life when her team needed it most. About 15 minutes after Bowman set the school record in winning the mile, the Denver, Colo., native masterfully navigated the hurdles in a UT-best clocking of 8.04 seconds that earned her runner-up accolades and contributed eight points toward the Big Orange cause. Michigan’s Tiffany Ofili finished just ahead of Law in 8.00. While Bowman and Law were getting the job done on the track, sophomore Annie Al-exander was over in the shot put ring un-leashing a throw of 57 feet, two inches, that would stand up for third place and greatly leave behind her pre-vious season-best of 54-11 1/4. In Tennessee’s final scoring oppor-tunity, junior Phoebe Wright came through with the decisive eight points that tipped the scales in the Lady Vols’ favor. Still bat-tling the effects of a

sinus infection, she gutted out a second-place finish in the 800 meters in a time of 2:04.38. On Friday night, the Lady Vols delivered a world-record-setting performance in the distance medley relay to get the ball roll-ing. The lineup of Wright, Brittany Jones, Chanelle Price and Bowman covered the 4,000-meter distance in 10 minutes, 50.98 seconds to top the previous world and col-legiate record of 10:54.34, set in 1988 by Villanova University. The mark also crushed UT’s month-old American and school record of 10:56.40, which it had run at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational in New York City on Feb. 6, as well as UCLA’s 10:58.19 NCAA meet record from 2002.

2005 NCAA INDOOr CHAMPIONS

The Lady Vols won their first-ever NCAA title in track & field and the University of Ten-nessee Women’s Athletics Department’s first NCAA crown in any sport besides basketball in 2005. In J.J. Clark’s third year at the helm, Tennessee followed up an impressive victory at the SEC Indoor Championships by taking the NCAA Indoor hardware in Fayetteville, Ark., with 46 points, holding off runner-up Florida by 10. As was the case with UT’s AIAW crown in 1981, when coach Clark’s older sister, Joetta Clark, was a key member of the team, the Big Orange utilized 10 women to get the job done and bring the trophy home to Knoxville. Mem-bers of that historic squad included Courtney Champion, Nicole Cook, Antoinette Gor-ham, Felicia Guliford, Patricia Hall, LaTonya Loche, Tianna Madison, Brooke Novak, Toyin Olupona and Cleo Tyson. UT was fueled by a victory in the long jump from Madison, a 2-3-6 finish in the 60 meters from Olupona, Madison and Champi-on, a 3-7-8 spree in the 200m by Champion, Tyson and Loche and a runner-up effort by the 4x400m relay lineup of Champion, Gor-ham, Hall and Loche.

Directed by eighth-year head coach Terry Crawford, the 1981 Tennessee Lady Vols de-livered the University of Tennessee its initial national championship in women’s athletics. A group that became known as the “Ten That Made One” scored 61 points in Austin, Texas, to fend off runner-up UCLA’s 57 and hoist the 1981 AIAW Outdoor trophy high in the Texas sky. Crawford’s squad produced a year filled with firsts. Not only did the Big Orange cap-ture a national title, Tennessee seized the 1981 Southeastern Conference Outdoor Champion-ships during the first season the league spon-sored such a meet for women. Among the competitors for Team Orange in Austin were Sharrieffa Barksdale, Kathy Bryant, Myrtle Chester, Joetta Clark, Benita Fitzgerald, Rose Hauch, Pam Passera, Linda Portasik, Cathy Rattray and Delisa Walton. The Lady Vols thrived from victories in the 100m hurdles from Fitzgerald, a triumph in the 4x400m relay by the quartet of Barksdale, Clark, Rattray and Walton and a win in the 800m medley relay by the tandem of Barks-dale, Fitzgerald, Rattray and Walton. Hauch and Walton added runner-up outcomes in the shot put and 800m, respectively, while Clark chipped in a third-place performance in the 800m.

The Volunteers, buoyed by a sparkling perfor-mance in the sprints, closed the 2001 NCAA Out-door Championships with 50 points to edge TCU by a point in an exciting NCAA Outdoor meet at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. True freshman Justin Gatlin set the pace for the Volunteers, as he was NCAA meet high scorer with 22 points from wins in the 100 meters, 200 meters and a leg on the second-place 4x100m relay. The Vols opened the meet with an unexpected fourth-place finish in the javelin from true freshman Leigh Smith, who entered the competition with the 11th-best qualifying mark in the nation. On the second day of the meet, Tennessee’s Stephen Harris posted eight points with a personal-best, runner-up score of 7,871 in the decathlon. The Vols were saddled with their fair share of adversity on day three. After Tennessee ran a track record and NCAA-leading 4x100m relay semifinal, TCU clipped the Vols by taking the first prize and capturing momentum in the team race. Second was the place for the Vol relay team that featured Sean Lambert, Gatlin, Hassaan Stamps and Leonard Scott. Portions of the final day appeared bleak, as TCU lit up the scoreboard. However, the Vols managed to stay in the fray. Gatlin won the 100 and Lambert gamely took a crucial fourth-place finish. Gatlin later decided that one NCAA title wasn’t enough. When all-world TCU sprinter Kim Collins false-started in the 200 final, Gatlin was able to claim the 200 crown, his second of the day. Scott proved a rock by bouncing back to earn sixth and knot the team count at 49. The gritty 4x400 relay team got the baton around cleanly for the winning point in the last event of the meet.

Tennessee marked its last day of NCAA indoor mourning with a ferocious comeback to capture the school’s first NCAA indoor title with 62.5 points in front of 5,567 fans at the Randal Tyson Track Cen-ter in Fayetteville, Ark. Led by high scorer Justin Gatlin’s 22 points, nine Volunteers pieced together a championship effort and changed Tennessee track and field history on the home track of collegiate track’s greatest dy-nasty. With overachieving performances down the line, Tennessee out-distanced its conference foes for the title, as Alabama, LSU and Ar-kansas rounded out the rest of the SEC’s dominating quartet. Speed merchants Justin Gatlin and Leonard Scott got the Vols off to a torrid start on the opening day with a combined 16 points in the 200 meters. Gatlin’s 20.63-second time placed him atop the awards stand for the first time of the weekend. Scott’s 20.80 proved good for third. 60-meter hurdler Karl Jennings stepped forward to claim his first All-America certificate and add four points to the Vol pot with a fifth-place, 7.80 finish. The Volunteers stood third with 20 points as they reported for the final day of events. Marc Sylvester ran in the first race of the day, as the Vol rookie overachieved to finish runner-up in the 800 in a school indoor-record time of 1:47.41. His eight points moved the Vols within six points of leader Alabama. In the 400, Gary Kikaya continued the high-intensity tone with a school indoor record 45.93 to earn third. His heroic effort pulled the Vols even with leader Alabama’s 34 points. Tennessee sprinters Gatlin and Scott pulled off a 1-2 finish in the 60 to propel the Vols into the team lead for the first time. Gatlin’s 6.59 effort gave the Vol sophomore his second NCAA title in as many days. Scott’s runner-up 6.61 gave the Volunteer hopes a critical shot in the arm. With a sixth-place-tying clearance of 17-feet, 7 3/4-inches in the pole vault, Rocky Danners’ 2.5 points gave the Vols enough of a cushion to secure the team title. With the team title locked up by a fraction, Tennessee breathed a little easier as the black-clad Vols lined up to secure the team title in the 4x400m relay. The Vols took runner-up honors in 3:06.87. Gatlin, Dwayne Bell Jr, Scott and Kikaya were the participants.

The University of Tennessee track and field team rallied on the final day of competition to claim UT’s second national championship in track and field. The Vols won one event and scored in nine oth-ers to accumulate 51points. Tennessee scored 31 points on the final day of competition to take the lead from Washington State. The Cougars finished second with 42 points. Junior Aric Long was the only Vol to claim an individual title. Long won the decathlon with 7,916 points. Todd Williams pulled his share of the burden, as well. Williams put the finishing touches on an out-standing career at Tennessee. The senior from Mon-roe, Mich., paced himself to a second-place finish in the 10,000-meter run to give the Vols the early lead on the first day of competition. Then, with the team title hanging in the balance on the final day, Williams extended himself in the 5,000 meters and came up big, scoring a third-place finish. He ended as the Vols’ top point man with 14. Randy Jenkins nabbed second place with a school-record 7-foot, 6 1/2 inch clearance in the high jump. Senior John Richardson launched the javelin 247-11 to claim a needed second-place finish. Cap-tain Brian Brophy turned in a fine showing in the de-cathlon to finish third. The NCAA outdoor title capped a season of highlights, as head coach Doug Brown’s, assistant head coach Bill Webb’s and assistant coach George Watts’ Vols swept the South-eastern Conference, winning cross country and indoor and outdoor titles.

Tennessee won its first NCAA outdoor track and field title with a team effort from the 100 yards to the 3,000-meter steeplechase and most distances in between. The Volunteers won three events on the way to victory, scoring 60 points,the highest total of Tennes-see’s three NCAA outdoor title runs. Reggie Jones tallied 19.5 points, the most by a Vol, by accumulating a win in the 100-yard dash (9.18w), second in the 220-yard dash (20.00w) and running the second leg of Tennessee’s third-place 4x110-yard relay (39.69). Tennessee’s steeplechase corps offered up a one-two finish to give the Volunteers a huge swing of momentum. Doug Brown took the title with an 8:35.84 contribution. Ron Addison helped paint the awards stand orange with his runner-up finish (8:36.76). One of three Vol NCAA champions, Wil-lie Thomas took top honors in the 880-yard run in 1:48.72 to do his part in bringing Tennessee’s first NCAA track trophy back to Knoxville. Additionally, Darwin Bond contributed eight points with a runner-up finish in the 440-yard dash, courtesy of a 45.73 clocking. Tennessee’s bronze 4x110-yard relay effort in-cluded Greer Radcliff, Jones, Jon Young and Bond. The Vol quartet navigated the track in 39.69. Tennessee’s victory was celebrated throughout the South, as the Vols became the first southern team to win a national track title since 1933. Earlier in the season, coach Stan Hunts-man led the Vols to their 11th consecutive SEC title.

LADY VOLS AT NCAA/AIAW MeeTS Tennessee has a rich tradition of excellence competing in national championships, winning seven national titles and recording 80 top-10 finishes between it’s men’s and women’s track & field programs. The Lady Volunteer track & field squad garnered the first national title by a UT women’s team when the squad won the 1981 AIAW Outdoor Championships, and it collected the first-ever non-basketball women’s NCAA trophy at Rocky Top when the Big Orange triumphed indoors in 2005. The Lady Vols added a third crown at the 2009 NCAA Indoor meet. All told, Tennessee’s women have placed in the top 10 at either the indoor (16) or outdoor (18) national meet 34 times. On the men’s side, the Vols have recorded 46 top-10 perfomances through the years, including 24 indoors and 22 outdoors. Among those were NCAA Outdoor titles in 1974, 1991 and 2001, and an indoor crown in 2002.

LADY VOLS AT THE PEnn RELAYS Contested at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pa., and hosted by the University of Pennsylvania, the Penn Relays shine as a national treasure in track & field. Tennessee has been a fortunate women’s participant at the historic meet since 1978. The Big Orange’s contributions have been so impressive that UT is one of the few schools to enjoy having its university’s flag fly over the event every year.

VOLS AT THE PEnn RELAYS Contested at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pa., and hosted by the University of Pennsylvania, the Penn Relays shine as a national treasure in track & field. Tennessee has been a fortunate participant at the historic meet since 1949. The Big Orange’s contributions have been so impressive that UT is one of the few schools to enjoy having its university’s flag fly over the event every year. In all, the Volunteers claim 72 Penn Relays championships to their credit. In the last seven trips to Philadelphia, the Tennessee men have won a total of eight relay crowns, including three at the 2002 meet, and another sprint medley crown in 2009. This year’s event takes place from April 28-30.

CHUCK ROHEHead Coach 1963-1971

Dual Record 87-10 (.896)* 15 SEC Titles (consecutive)

The University of Tennessee track and field program began in 1901 when University Track and Field Day was proclaimed and cel-ebrated. UT began intercollegiate competition in 1909 with the formation of the Southern Inter col legiate Athletic Association, though records are not available from that season through 1921. The Vols had no team during the 1918 and 1919 seasons because of World War I. The program commenced outdoor Southeastern Conference compe tition in 1933. World War II brought an end to the sport from 1943-46. Outdoor track and field resumed in 1947. Indoor meets were introduced in 1960.

Note: Records are based on scored meets of eight teams or fewer and do not include SEC or NCAA championship meets.

* Stan Huntsman became head coach at the beginning of the 1971 outdoor season. Chuck Rohe gets credit for the SEC title and record for the 1971 indoor season.

STOkELY ATHLETICS CEnTER

Located in the center of campus, diagonally across Volunteer Boulevard from Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium, the William B. Stokely Athletics Center serves as the home of University of Tennessee track & field indoor practices. Since 2008, the Vols and Lady Vols have had the facility at their disposal for in-season track & field workouts, as the basketball team, with the construction of the Pratt Pavilion, no longer needed Stokely as a back-up option to Thompson-Boling Arena for practice. Dedicated in 1958 as the UT Armory Fieldhouse with a seating capacity of 7,000, it was later renamed in honor of the late William B. Stokely Jr., whose generosity resulted in renovations that brought the total number of seats to 12,700. Prior to the 2000 track & field season, the floor of the Stokely Center was completely replaced, providing the Tennessee track & field teams with a much-improved training surface. In addition to track & field, the arena portion of the building is also the site of Lady Vol volleyball practices and had served as a back-up practice site for the Tennessee women’s and men’s basketball teams. Stokely was the primary competition and practice facility used by both the men’s basketball team (1967-87) and Head Coach Pat Summitt’s eight-time national champion women’s squad from 1976-87. The building also continues to house some of the administrative offices of the UT Women’s and Men’s Athletics Departments as well as Army and Air Force ROTC. For the past 35 years, many of the women’s and men’s athletics offices have been housed in Stokely. Those still operating in the building include women’s athletic training, strength and conditioning, compliance and media relations as well as the coaching staffs for men’s and women’s golf and track & field, and women’s rowing, softball and volleyball. Adding to the structure’s list of virtues is the location within of the largest women’s-only weight room facility in the nation as well as a state-of-the-art training room.

TOM BLACk TRACk / LAPORTE STADIUM-

A venue that has hosted many a great meet, Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium took on a fresh appearance in 2010 as UT hosted the SEC Championships. The eight-lane oval, situated in the heart of campus and showcasing a fresh PolyTan PUR surface applied in fall 2009, is named after the Knoxville business leader whose generosity paved the way for its development. The stadium, meanwhile, was named after the LaPorte Family of Elizabethton, Tenn., and Houston, Texas, in November 2005 for the family’s generous contributions toward enhancing the overall ambience of the facility. As mentioned, the facility’s look was upgraded in 2009-10, as the track was resurfaced, the entry plaza completed, the pavilion upgraded, and seating areas enhanced with attractive brick and the addition of a few other cosmetic touches. In 2003, thanks to the LaPorte family, the property also was improved in preparation for that season’s SEC meet. A Daktronics video timing board was installed on the east end, a concessions/storage building and bleacher seating were added to the south side, and aesthetic enhancements were made by paving areas adjacent to the track, remodeling the timing booth, replacing old fencing and utilizing decorative landscaping. Upgrades also included a new entry gate as well as brick columns and wrought iron fencing. The storied venue also underwent major renovation in 1992 to improve its practicality and appearance. Three primary changes were made to the facility, including moving of the start/finish line to the south side of the track to best utilize favorable wind conditions, adding 2,500 temporary bleachers, and redesigning and resurfacing several field event areas. In the spring of 2001, the impressive Thornton Athletics Student Life Center was added, enhancing the skyline on the southeast corner. Tom Black Track has been the site of several prestigious meets through the years, such as the 1993, 2003 and 2010 SEC Championships, the 1994 and 2005 USA Track & Field Youth National Championships, the 1994 USA Track & Field Championships, the 1995 NCAA Championships, the 2006 NCAA Mideast Regional and the 2002 and 2007 AAU Junior Olympics. On an annual basis, the facility is home to a variety of dual and invitational events, as well as the Sea Ray Relays and Volunteer Track Classic.
