CURRENT VOLS & LADY VOLSWITH UT ALL-TIME TOP-10 MARKS

time of 55.66 at the NCAA East meet. Wortham has a season and career best of 55.55, which broke a 28-year-old school record as she won the SEC title this season. Senior Chanelle Price is running strong in the 800m, heading into the meet after tying for the

top NCAA Preliminary Round time in the 800m at 2:02.64, her best readout since July 2009. Six-time SEC Outdoor champion and fi ve-time All-American Annie Alexander has earned a

trip to the national meet in both the women’s shot put and discus for the fourth time. The senior is seeded seventh in the discus and ninth in the shot coming out of the prelim round. Her season bests are 186-3 in the discus and 56-9 1/2 in the shot. The men’s 4x100m relay, consisting of junior Reggie Juin, freshman Jamol James, sophomore

Jarael Nelvis and junior Arnez Hardnick, is the top-seeded Vol qualifi er, with the 11th-best time heading into the meet (39.66), based on the East meet. Both the women’s 4x100m team (44.29) and the women’s 4x400m relay team (3:33.59) also have the 11th spot on the entry list.

Top Returning Performers From The 2011 NCAA Outdoor Meet Senior Annie Alexander returns to Des Moines in both the shot and discus. Last year, Alexan-

der fi nished third in both events at the national level, throwing the discus 188-9 and earning her current PR in the shot with a toss of 57-11 1/4. Senior Chanelle Price also checked in third at the 2011 NCAA Outdoor meet, logging a 2:03.02

eff ort in the 800m fi nal for the best individual national eff ort of her collegiate career. Both of the women’s relay teams headed to nationals have the same members as last year’s

teams. The 4x400m unit, consisting of Ellen Wortham, Kianna Ruff , Nijgia Snapp and Martinique Octave, fi nished in seventh place, with Octave running third and Snapp anchoring. Those two have switched spots in the lineup for this year’s championship. Ashley Harris, Brittany Jones, Mar-tinique Octave and Kia Jackson are hoping to fi nish higher than they did last year in the 4x100m relay (20th, 44.78). Senior Brittany Sheff ey suff ered a fall in the NCAA Outdoor semifi nals last season but was

advanced to the fi nal, where she wound up placing 12th at 4:22.50. Senior Ellen Wortham returns in the 400m hurdles with the top seed in the event and hopes to

move on to her fi rst fi nal. She had the seventh-best time in the semifi nals in 2011, but she did not qualify for the fi nal based on the advancement formula and her placing fourth in her heat. All three qualifying Vol entries are new to the NCAA Outdoor Championships this year.

Looking Back At The NCAA 2012 Indoor Championships The Lady Vols fi nished 48th at the NCAA Indoor Championship meet with three points, while

the Vols were unable to get on the scoreboard. UT’s only point-producing entity was the Lady Vol 4x400m relay lineup of Ellen Wortham,

Brittany Jones, Kianna Ruff and Martinique Octave, which fi nished sixth in a season-best time of 3:34.13. Making the women’s fi eld as individuals for the 16th-ranked Big Orange women were seniors

Annie Alexander in the shot put (12th, 53-0.25/16.16m), Chanelle Price in the 800 meters (9th, 2:05.95) and Ellen Wortham in the 400 meters (14th, 54.20). UT also qualifi ed its distance medley relay (11th, 11:26.02), with Nijgia Snapp, Jones, Ruff and Brittany Sheff ey running legs for UT. For the Vols, two individuals qualifi ed indoors. Redshirt freshman Matthew Hoty placed 15th in

the shot put at 59-10.50/18.25m, while sophomore Chase Brannon was 16th with a 17-4.50/5.30m mark in the pole vault.

Three Lady Vol NCAA Qualifi ers Named Capital One Academic All District Tennessee led all schools with three honorees when the 2012 Capital One Academic All-Dis-

trict 3 Women’s Track & Field and Cross Country Team was announced by CoSIDA on May 31. Among UT’s SEC-leading total of three fi rst-team honorees in 2012 were senior Chanelle Price,

earning fi rst-team accolades for the second straight season, senior Ellen Wortham, a second-team choice in 2011, and sophomore Linda Hadfi eld, a fi rst-time member of the squad. Price owns a 3.93 grade point average in journalism and electronic media and was both a fi rst-

team Capital One Academic All-American and SEC Track & Field Co-Scholar Athlete of the Year in 2011. She is a 2012 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipient. Wortham, who possesses a 3.88 GPA in psychology, is the 2012 SEC Track & Field Co-Scholar-

Athlete of the Year and, like Price, the recipient of a 2012 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. Hadfi eld, who has maintained a 4.00 GPA in economics, is the 2012 Helen B. Watson Female

Scholar of the Year for UT Athletics and received the 2011 James Snow Award, which goes to the outstanding academic Lady Vol freshman on the track & fi eld team.

Tennessee’s SEC Outdoor Recap Two Lady Vols earned a total of three titles at the SEC Outdoor Championships. Senior Ellen

Wortham was league champion in the 400m hurdles, with a school-record-breaking time of 55.55. Senior Annie Alexander swept the discus (186-3) and shot put (56-3.75) titles for the third time in her career, tying the number of most outdoor throws titles won by a woman at six. The Lady Vols had a 2nd/3rd/5th fi nishing trio in the 800 meters. Senior Chanelle Price (2:03.15)

took second place in that event, followed less than a second later by junior Nijgia Snapp (2:03.88) in third. Sophomore Kianna Ruff rounded out the trio with a fi fth-place fi nish in a time of 2:04.85. Both Snapp and Ruff earned PRs in fi rst the preliminary round and again in the fi nal.

Noting The Big Orange

RS-Freshmen Tavis Bailey (mDT, 2nd, 177-1) and Matthew Hoty (mSP, 3rd, 60-10) earned PRs and SEC All-Freshman status at the championship meet. Sophomore Chase Brannon (mPV, 17-8.50) scored at the league meet for the second time in

his outdoor career, fi nishing fourth. His height earned him a new PR in the event and also gave him the fi fth-seed spot at the NCAA East Preliminary Round. The Lady Vols fi nished fi fth at the SEC Outdoor Championships with a total of 97 points, while

the men fi nished 10th with 30 points.

UT’s SEC Outdoor Award-Winners Annie Alexander became the fi rst-ever Lady Vol to win SEC Outdoor Women’s Field Event Ath-

lete of the Year. She earned the honor after sweeping both the discus and shot put titles for the third time in her career. She has tied the SEC record for most outdoor throws titles (6) won by a woman. She also improved her career totals to 24 discus wins and 14 outdoor shot put victories during her career, including three shot triumphs and four discus crowns in 2012. For the fi fth-straight season, a Lady Vol has earned at least a share of the Scholar-Athlete of

the Year award. Ellen Wortham, who graduated this spring with a degree in psychology and a fi nal undergraduate GPA of 3.88, was named Co-Women’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year, along with Tara Diebold of Arkansas. Along with the above-listed distinctions, Alexander and Wortham were also named to the

Outdoor All-SEC First Team for their victories for the second-straight season. RS-Freshman Tavis Bailey (mDT, 177-1) and senior Chanelle Price (w800m, 2:03.15) both

earned Outdoor All-SEC Second Team honors for their runner-up fi nishes at the league champi-onship meet. Bailey and fellow RS-freshman Matthew Hoty both earned SEC All-Freshman team status for

their fi nishes in the discus and shot, respectively. Both were the top fi rst-year fi nishers in their events. Bailey was runner-up with a toss of 177-1, and Hoty earned third place with his throw of 60-10, which also broke the UT freshman record in the event. Chelsea Knotts and Kevin Carney were honored with spots on the SEC Track & Field Commu-

nity Service Team for their superior service eff orts in giving back to the community.

The Graduates/Academic Honors Sixteen members of the track & fi eld team are 2012 spring graduates. Lady Vol graduates include Annie Alexander, Bianca Blair, Andrea Ferri, Aslynn Halvorson,

Ashley Harris, Charity Honeycutt, Laquoya Kelly, Chelsea Knotts, Chanelle Price, Elizabeth Tiller and Ellen Wortham. The Vol graduates include Kevin Carney, Tom Gilmartin, Scott March, Robert Rasnick and Gar-

rek Thompson. For their excellence on the track and in the classroom, Lady Vols Chanelle Price and Ellen

Wortham were recipients of 2011-12 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships worth $7500. Price has 3.93 grade point average in journalism and electronic media, while Wortham has a

3.88 GPA in psychology. Chelsea Knotts was one of seven UT students to receive the Torchbearer Award. (See related

story in the column on the right.) Knotts and Elizabeth Tiller graduated with the inaugural class of Haslam Scholars at UT. Redshirt sophomore thrower Aslynn Halvorson completed her degree in exercise science in

three years and will begin graduate school in the fall. Lady Vol senior Brittany Sheff ey already earned her undergraduate degree and is in graduate

school.

Penn Relays/UCSD Invitational Recap The Lady Vols won their third sprint medley relay title and 20th overall Championship of

America crown at the Penn Relays, ending LSU’s fi ve-year SMR win streak with a 3:43.79 readout. Cranking out the third-fastest time in UT history were Brittany Jones, Martinique Octave, Ellen Wortham and Chanelle Price. The Vols were second in the men’s sprint medley relay (3:21.41), while the Lady Vols were

runners-up in the DMR (11:03.53) and 4x800m relay (8:27.04). Linda Hadfi eld added a runner-up showing in the College pole vault, clearing 13-1 1/2. Top fi nishers at the UCSD Triton Invitational included Annie Alexander in the women’s Invita-

tional shot put (season-best 56-9 1/2), Tavis Bailey in the men’s Open shot put (51-3 1/2) and Drew Thomas in the men’s Invitational hammer (180-2).

Sprint Medley Relay Earned SEC Kudos Tennessee’s sprint medley relay, which won at the 118th Penn Relays on April 27, was named

the SEC Women’s Runner of the Week on May 1. The lineup of Brittany Jones, Martinique Octave, Ellen Wortham and Chanelle Price ran 3:43.79

to post the third-best readout in school history.

Bailey Named SEC Freshman of the Week After Vanderbilt Invitational Tavis Bailey was named the SEC Men’s Freshman of the Week after winning the discus throw at 176-4 at the Vanderbilt Invitational on April 21.

Wortham Reaps Tony Wilson & SEC Weekly Honors For Sea Ray Relays Performance Senior Ellen Wortham was named the winner of the Sea Ray Relays Tony Wilson Award for women’s running events for the second straight season.

KNOTTS EARNS TORCHBEARER AWARD

Chelsea Knotts, a senior member of the wom-en’s track & fi eld and cross country teams, became the 24th athlete in University of Tennessee history, the fourth Lady Vol and third track & fi eld athlete ever to earn The Torchbearer Award. She and six other honorees were announced as recipients of the prestigious award at the Chancellor’s Honors Banquet on Monday night at the Carolyn P. Brown Memorial University Center. According to the Chancellor’s Honors website, The Torchbearer is the highest student honor con-ferred by the University of Tennessee. It is awarded for academic achievement and outstanding com-mitment to others as demonstrated by the student’s various activities and signifi cant contributions to the university and the community. Torchbearers are seniors who have served their Alma Mater with overall excellence. Students chosen for this award embody the Volunteer spirit, displaying initiative and service in the best interest of both the university and their fellow student. Recognition as a Torchbearer reminds all students that those who bear the Torch of Enlightenment shadow themselves to give light to others. Knotts, a native of Ripley, W.Va., is fi nishing her degree in biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology and owns a 3.89 grade point average. She is a member of the inaugural Haslam Scholars Pro-gram, the sole endorsed candidate for the Rhodes Scholarship and a Robert C. Byrd and National Merit Scholarship recipient. A four-year member of UT’s cross country and track & fi eld teams, she has made the SEC Academic Honor Roll three times. Perhaps most noteworthy is her leadership of the recent Haslam Scholars Program’s community service project. Knotts led hundreds of UT students in an eff ort to raise funds to end chronic homeless-ness, particularly in the Fort Sanders neighbor-hood. She began a running group for homeless men and women, organized a 5K benefi t run, and regularly befriends people who are without shelter and stability. She possesses a level of empathy and determination rarely seen.

CLARK ANNOUNCES 2012 SIGNING CLASS

Director of Track & Field J.J. Clark announced the signing of a talented and diverse class of eight student-athletes to national letters of intent. Six members were ranked on Track & Field News’ 2011 comprehensive and/or 2012 indoor high school top performers lists, including a local product.

Other PRs include 12.16 in the 100m, 7.83 in the 60m and 7.45 in the 55m. Distance runner Alexis Panisse (pa-NEESE), who stands fi ve feet tall, is a big-time performer.

UT Records This Season For Alexander, Hoty, Wortham Annie Alexander broke her 2009 indoor school record (57-2) in the shot put with a victorious

toss of 58-1 at the Auburn Inv. on Jan. 21. That mark qualifi ed her for NCAAs and was career indoor win No. 10. Matthew Hoty improved the UT freshman indoor record in the shot put at three meets in

2012. He stretched the tape to 58-7 1/2 at the Kentucky Invitational in his fi rst college meet to snap the 1968 mark of 58-7 set by Chip Kell. A week later, he posted a toss of 60-0 1/4 at the Au-burn Invitational.

Matthew Hoty set new freshman records in the shot put twice in the 2012 outdoor season.

The second week of the outdoor season, at the UCLA/Washington Double Dual, Hoty claimed the UT outdoor shot put freshman record as well. His toss of 59-9 3/4 toppled the 1992 mark of 59-6 1/4, set by Rob Carlson. He latersnapped his own outdoor freshman record in the shot put at the SEC Outdoor Championships. His new record, 60-10, has earned him the 12th seed at the NCAA East Preliminary Meet. Ellen Wortham broke a 28-year-old school record in the 400m hurdles, topping Sharrieff a

for fourth by clearing the bar on one fewer attempt. Chris Bodary added another runner-up eff ort for Tennessee. The junior’s 8:30.66 clocking enabled him to place second in the men’s 3000 meters. TEXAS A&M MONDO CHALLENGE

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The Vols represented the SEC (along with Florida) at the Texas A&M Mondo Challenge on Jan. 27-28, helping the league tally 164.50 points in a third-place fi nish. The Big 12 prevailed with 277.25 points, followed by the Pac-12 (227.25) in second.

Vol pole vaulters Robert Rasnick (16-6), Chase Brannon (16-6) and Tyler Porter (16-1 3/4) posted a one-two-three fi nish for Tennes-see and the SEC. Rasnick got the nod because he had fewer missed attempts during the competition.

Vol Matthew Hoty (59-4 3/4) was the runner-up in the men’s shot put, posting the third-straight top-two fi nish to start his career.

NEW BALANCE COLLEGIATE INV.

NEW YORK -- For the Vols, it was a week of development and improvement at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational. Jamol James, a true freshman, recorded a personal-best time of 6.75 in the prelims of the 60-meter dash and then lowered it to 6.74 to wind up fi fth in the consolation fi nal. With only four meets under his belt, he already ranks as the 13th-best 60m sprinter in a very rich Vol history of speedsters. Redshirt freshman Matthew Hoty wasn’t satisfied with his overall series in the shot put, but he continued to land throws in the vicinity of 60 feet. His eff ort of 59-9 was good enough for fi fth place in the championship section. In another men’s championship event, junior Desmond Brown pro-duced a leap of 23-10 3/4 to wind up eighth in the long jump. Junior Chris Bodary drew Clark’s praise for his career-best readout in the fi nals of the college men’s mile. His 4:10.38 handiwork earned him an 11th-place outcome, even though he is ticketed for longer races at the conference meet. The Tennessee men also got an eighth-placing showing from sophomore Chase Brannon in the pole vault. He was once again over the bar at 17 feet, clearing 17-0 3/4.

AKRON INVITATIONAL

AKRON, Ohio -- The Tennessee men’s track & fi eld team got some good work in and won three events on Feb. 11 at the Akron Invitational. The Vols dominated the sprints, with freshman Jamol James win-ning the 60m dash in a career-best reading of 6.72 to move to No. 12 on UT’s all-time performers list in that event. Sophomore Jarael Nelvis, mean-while, seized the 200 crown, cover-ing the distance in 21.44 as he and James won their fi rst events as Vols. Junior Arnez Hardnick, a transfer from Grambling, was third in the 200 and fourth in the 60, carding personal records of 21.97 and 6.93, respectively. As he did in the first meet of the season at the Kentucky Invita-tional, Vol freshman Matthew Hoty won the shot put competition. Hoty collected his second win as a Vol with a blast of 57-11 3/4.

SEC INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The Vols picked up a trio of third-place fi n-ishes and posted a seventh-place team outcome with 40.50 points at the SEC Indoor Championships, Feb. 24-26. Sophomore Chase Brannon grabbed third in the pole vault at 17-3 3/4, followed by Robert Rasnick in a tie for fourth at 17-0, accumulating 10 1/2 points in that event for UT. Also adding bronze eff orts were senior Terry Benson in the 60m hurdles in a career-best 7.95 and Matthew Hoty in the shot put with a career-best and UT freshman-record toss of 62-3 1/4. Hoty, Stephen Derlath (12th, 5000m, 15:01.27) and Jamol James (5th, 60m, 6.72) were named to the SEC All-Freshman Team as the top fi nishing rookies in their events.

VA. TECH FINAL QUALIFIER

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Sopho-more Chase Brannon improved his NCAA stock in the pole vault, clearing a career-best height of 17-8 1/4 to finish second at the Virginia Tech Final Qualifi er. The mark boosted him to No. 13 nationally on the NCAA descend-ing order list and to No. 9 on UT’s all-time performers chart. Freshman sprinter Jamol James took a crack at moving up the NCAA list in the 60-meter dash, but a minor leg injury prevented him from fi nishing his prelim race.

AUBURN INVITATIONAL

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Matthew Hoty wasn’t able to collect his sec-ond straight victory in the men’s shot put, but the Vol redshirt fresh-man did manage to make history for the second meet in a row. His blast of 60-0 1/4 was good for second place at the Auburn In-vitational and enabled him to snap his week-old UT freshman record in the process. He fi nished behind only Stephen Saenz of Auburn, last year’s SEC Outdoor champion, who had a best of 63-1 1/4 on Saturday. He picked up SEC Freshman of the Week accolades for his work. Vol sophomore Chase Brannon had his second-straight strong ef-fort in the pole vault. After winning at Kentucky the previous weekend in a career-best 17-5 1/2, Brannon came back a week later to fi nish second at 17-4 1/2 to Samford’s Michael Seaman (17-8 1/2). Brannon continues to rank sec-ond in the SEC this season and now is followed by the league’s No. 4 and 5 vaulters, UT sophomore Tyler Porter and senior Robert Rasnick. They each cleared 17-0 3/4, with Porter registering a career best for the second weekend in a row and getting the nod over his teammate

Junior Jessie Harrison posted a runner-up eff ort for the Big Orange in the weight throw with a toss of 59-2, while senior Chanelle Price crossed the line third in the mile run at 4:47.47.

AUBURN INVITATIONAL

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The Lady Vols netted their fi rst NCAA quali-fi er of the campaign and pocketed a school record and victory, as they closed out their stay at the Auburn Invitational. Annie Alexander became Ten-nessee’s fi rst national qualifi er of the 2012 season, unleashing a blast of 58 feet, one inch in the shot put to punch her ticket to the NCAA Indoor meet in Nampa, Idaho, on March 9-10. The measurement, which came on her third throw of the competi-tion, broke her 2009 indoor school record of 57-2, set at the NCAA meet that year. For her handy work, Alexander was named the SEC Field Event Athlete of the Week and was chosen for the CollegeSports360.com Prime-time Performers Weekly Track & Field Honor Roll. Senior Chanelle Price made her fi rst season appearance in the women’s 800m a good one, collect-ing the ninth indoor victory of her career in that event with a 2:06.41 readout to edge former UT standout Kimarra McDonald (2:06.52). Price’s mark, the best indoor debut of her career, moved her to the top of the NCAA list at this point in the season.

TEXAS A&M MONDO CHALLENGE

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The Lady Vols represented the SEC (along with Florida) at the Texas A&M Mondo Challenge on Jan. 27-28, helping the league win the women’s competition over the Pac-

12 and Big 12 with 216 points. The Big 12 was second with 214, fol-lowed by the Pac-12 at 178. The Lady Vol DMR fi nished second but carded an NCAA auto mark in 11:02.74 with Chanelle Price, Ellen Wortham, Nijgia Snapp and Britta-ny Sheff ey carrying the baton. That timewas the No. 5 all-time indoor mark by the Lady Vols and the fast-est run in January by a UT quartet.

Teammate Nijgia Snapp was sixth, posting a one-and-a-half second career best of 2:05.49. Brittany Sheff ey came up a little more than three seconds shy of auto qualifying in the mile, but she still put together a career-best time of 4:40.28 to cross the line second. That time moved her to number four on UT’s all-time performers list in that event and put her in a position that J.J. Clark believes will make her a strong candidate for an NCAA bid. Ellen Wortham also turned in a fi ne showing in the women’s cham-pionship division of the 400 meters. The senior rolled to a career-best readout of 53.49 to take fourth place against a talented fi eld. Her eff ort moved her to No. 6 on UT’s all-time performers list.

Senior Chanelle Price, already an automatic NCAA qualifi er this season in the 800, trained victoriously in the mile in Akron with a season best of 4:45.15, while junior Kelsey Kane was third in a career-topping 4:57.47.

while, won the second SEC Indoor title and sixth overall conference title of her career with a blast of 55-11 3/4 in the shot put. Price added a runner-up outing in the 800 meters (2:06.45), while Wortham leaped to second in the long jump with a career-best mark of 20-5. Earning fi rst-team All-SEC status for their triumphs in the shot and DMR, respectively, were Alexander, Petree, Price, Sheffey and Snapp, while second-team kudos went to runners-up Price (800m) and Wortham (long jump).

VA. TECH FINAL QUALIFIER

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Already an NCAA qualifi er with UT’s distance medley relay team, senior Ellen Wortham put herself into position for a national berth in the 400 meters at the Virginia Tech Final Qualifi er on March 3. Wortham zipped to a career-best readout of 52.99 seconds to win the race and post the then-No. 8 mark on the NCAA list. That eff ort moved her to No. 3 on UT’s all-time indoor performers list in that event. Wortham also tried to qualify for NCAAs in the long jump (2nd, 19-9 3/4) and with UT’s 4x400m relay (1st, 3:36.98), but those marks were not seasonal improvements. Also on the 4x4 were Brittany Jones, Kianna Ruff and Martinique Octave. NCAA INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

NAMPA, Idaho -- The Lady Vols tallied three points to produce a tie for 48th place and came home with eight All-Americans from the NCAA Indoor Championships at Jacksons Indoor Track. Generating those points were the members of the sixth-place 4x400m relay team, who collaborated for a season-best 3:34.13 readout that ranks seventh all-time indoors at UT. Earning fi rst-team All-America acclaim for that effort were Ellen Wortham, Brittany Jones, Kianna Ruff and Martinique Octave. Garnering second-team All-Amer-ica distinction were Annie Alexander (12th, shot put), Chanelle Price (9th, 800m), Wortham (14th) and the 11th-place distance medley relay unit of Nijgia Snapp, Jones, Ruff and Brittany Sheff ey.
