2012 SEASON PREVIEW

“Overcoming Obstacles” might be a good place to start for University of Tennessee Director of Track & Field/Cross Country J.J. Clark if he were considering a theme for the 2012 season. The departure of two Lady Vol standouts due to graduation and the loss of several key members of last year’s men’s team will create challenges for Clark and his staff as they em-bark on a new campaign. Clark has never shied away from tough situations, though, and he’s not about to start now. He and his assistants will find ways to supplement the points lost to SEC champions and All-Americans Jackie Areson and Liz Costello on the women’s team, and he and his staff will continue to recruit and develop point-producers on the men’s club. While Tennessee returns every Lady Vol scorer from the 2011 NCAA Outdoor meet, where UT placed 11th, and SEC individual event cham-pions in Annie Alexander, Chanelle Price, Brittany Sheffey and Ellen Wortham, Clark must go back to the drawing board with the Vols. He will be seeking to replace last year’s duo of rookie All-Americans Justin Hunter and Dentarius Locke as well as key SEC scorers in Peter Sigilai and Michael Spooner. A dual-sport athlete, Hunter suffered a torn ACL during the third game of the 2011 football season, and his return this season is unlikely. Spooner was lost to graduation, while Locke transferred to a school closer to home and Sigilai did not return after having only a partial season of eli-gibility remaining. “Those were humongous hits to our team,” Clark admitted. “I am not going to sit here and act like they weren’t. We had the injury to Justin, two transfers and some graduation losses, and these all were key players in our program. “We recognize the needs of the program and understand our depth is not where it needs to be. We are not leaving any stone unturned in our recruiting process to make sure this program has the depth necessary to win. That’s what we intend to do.” “We need more depth in most areas, which has been a recruiting fo-cus,” Clark said of the women’s and men’s teams. “We do have four returning Lady Vol SEC champions and five-time pole vault champ Joe Berry on the men’s side, though, so we have some firepower coming back. “We don’t have the depth across the board, but we are working dili-gently to create that by developing people and bringing in talented new-comers.”

The Coaching Staff There was significant movement in the coaching staff during the off-season, as Clark made difficult personnel changes that he felt were neces-sary to move the program forward Long-time Associate Head Coach George Watts was not retained as the men’s distance leader, as Clark opted to add responsibilities for the Vols to his list. To assist in that endeavor, Clark brought in Mary Jayne Reeves, who had prior experience work-ing with male and female distance runners at both Virginia and Virginia Tech as well as 10 years’ experience as a professional runner. During the fall, the transition seemed to go well, as both cross country teams demonstrated im-provement throughout the season, and three runners garnered all-star accolades for their performances. Sheffey earned All-SEC and All-South Region honors for the third time in her career, while Chris Bodary made the all-region squad for the second time and Austin Whitelaw earned a spot on the SEC All-Freshman Team. Clark also replaced men’s sprint coach Norbert

Elliott with former LSU sprint standout and Ameri-can indoor record-holder Rohsaan Griffin. A year of work as a volunteer as-sistant for the Vols in 2011, coupled with Griffin’s ex-perience as a sprint coach at East Tennessee State and Milligan, gave Clark the insight to make such a switch. While Griffin’s hiring during the summer left him behind the recruiting game for this year, he has been tireless in his pursuit to add new talent to the Tennes-see roster in the near future as well as improve the pro-ductivity of those already on the team. John Frazier was pro-moted to associate head coach in the offseason and returns for his sixth year in charge of the throws group. He welcomes back a strong women’s throws group, headed by Alexander, and his men’s cadre should be bolstered by the addition of several key newcomers. In the jumps and multi-events area, Jerome Romain is back for his third season after producing his first UT All-American last season in Hunter. While the super-talented leaper is likely out for the year due to a knee in-jury, Romain has several pupils on the men’s and women’s teams who will be point-producers for Tennessee in 2012. Sharon Seagrave returns for year number two as the women’s sprint coach and has stabilized an area that had seen four coaches in a six-year span. Her impact was felt, as Wortham emerged as an SEC champion and national contender in the 400m hurdles, and the Lady Vols had All-America 4x400m relay teams indoors and out and an honorable mention 4x100m unit to boot. Tennessee also has four volunteer coaches on staff this season, includ-ing men’s pole vault coach Russ Johnson, women’s pole vault coach David Job, Bill Schmidt (javelin) and Daniel Goetz (distance). Johnson returns five-time SEC pole vault champion Berry, while Job has back Linda Had-field, who last season set a UT freshman record in the women’s vault. “Everything is going great with our staff,” Clark said. “They all under-stand their roles, what the expectations and goals are, and what my recruit-ing philosophy is. “We’re going to keep pressing forward and keep our nose to the grindstone until we see change.”

The Lady Vols

The Lady Vols finished seventh at the NCAA Indoor meet in 2011, running their total of top-10 national finishes under Clark to 10. They just missed the cut outdoors with the previously-mentioned 11th-place show-ing and posted efforts of third indoors and seventh outdoors at the SEC Championships. Areson and Costello were key reasons for that success a year ago, but neither was a factor at the NCAA Outdoor meet. Areson’s eligibility expired after the indoor season, and Costello failed to qualify for the outdoor meet after falling at the NCAA East Preliminary meet. That means all 20 of Ten-nessee’s 11th-place points from last year’s NCAA Outdoor meet return. Alexander in the throws, Price in the middle distances, Sheffey in the distances and Wortham in the hurdles, sprints and jumps provide Tennes-see a strong core of leadership and firepower. All the relay groups are back intact, and UT has potential in both the throws and pole vault as well. “When you lose the good ones, it’s hard to replace them,” Clark said. “What you want to do is continue the growth of your team in all areas. Maybe we can compensate for their absence with people in other areas such as the throws group with Laquoya Kelly, Jessie Harrison and Aslynn Halvorson, for example. They are capable of scoring in our conference and nationally.

After winning SEC Indoor and Outdoor 800m titles in 2011, Chanelle Price will try to extend Tennessee’s streak of season sweeps in that event to four years in a row.

The school record-holder in the shot put, indoors and out, Annie Alexander has won more SEC titles in the throws events (five) than any Lady Vol and will try to add to that total in 2012.

2012 SEASON PREVIEW

“We’re not sure where it’s all (lost points) going to come from, but we’ll try to utilize the team collectively to offset one or two great athletes. I remember my first dominant athlete years ago (at Florida) was Becki Wells. You don’t replace her; you don’t replace a Hazel Clark, a Sarah Bowman, a Phoebe Wright. We just continue de-veloping athletes. I am look-ing to see the team respond as a whole to bring together championships.”

Women’s Distance

The strength of the women’s team will once again be its distance group, with the focus moving more to the middle-length races rather than the longer ones this season. While Areson and Costello are gone, Price and Sheffey return and are primed for stellar senior campaigns. Price swept SEC indoor and outdoor titles in the 800 meters last season and has been a member of UT’s SEC meet-record-setting distance medley relay units the past two seasons. She was third in the 800 at the 2011 NCAA Outdoor meet and took sixth indoors, setting the stage for bigger things in 2012. “Chanelle brings a lot of experience and quality to the middle distance corps,” Clark said. “She’s the leader of that group and one of the leaders on our team. That’s what she has to offer.” She’ll be joined in the 800 returnee ranks by sophomore Kianna Ruff, junior Nijgia Snapp, both SEC scorers, and sophomores Brittney Jackson and Ty-Vonna Johnson. Ruff finished sixth indoors and out in the 800 at the SEC level, while Snapp was fifth indoors. Clark is hopeful Jackson and Johnson can break through as sophomores. “We have a few people who can help in the distance group,” Clark said. “Chanelle, Nijgia and Kianna, and I think Brittney and Ty-Vonna fit in there as well. That is a very strong group and the kind of impact and presence I’d like to have in every event area.” Sheffey, meanwhile, can run an 800 leg on a relay, but her forté is any-thing from the mile to the 5000 meters. She claimed her first SEC individual crown in 2011, winning the 1500m run outdoors and taking third indoors in the 3K and outdoors in the 5K. She has twice been part of UT’s winning DMR units at the league meet, including last year’s record-setting effort, and scored 16 points at the SEC indoor and outdoor meets in 2010 with runner-up finishes in the mile and a 3K indoors and 1500m and 5K outdoors. “I think Brittany has been overshadowed these past few years,” Clark said. “First you had Sarah Bowman, and then you follow up with Jackie Are-son. Then Liz Costello transfers in, and in addition to those ladies, you had Phoebe and Chanelle in the 800, so she kind of got lost in the mix, but she has still been a high quality runner for us. “She scored 16 points in both the SEC Indoor and Outdoor Champion-ships in 2010, so that tells you what her capabilities are. I think her history here and her 2011 cross country season indicate her time has come to shine.” Others returnees include seniors Elizabeth Altizer, Charity Hon-eycutt and Elizabeth Tiller, juniors Andrea Ferri, Ramzee Fondren and Kelsey Kane, and sophomore Amber Zimmerman. Newcomers include freshmen Lizzie Cornell, Amirah Johnson and Julia Petree, as well as transfer Patavia Lowery, a sophomore. Johnson had the biggest impact in cross country during the fall, scoring in all six team races in the number-four or -five slot.

Women’s Throws

Alexander, a four-time All-American, nine-time SEC scorer and five-time league champ, heads up the women’s throws contingent. After red-shirting indoors in 2011, Alexander made a huge impact outdoors, winning

SEC crowns in the shot and discus and carding third-place finishes in those events at the NCAA Outdoor meet. Along the way, she improved her UT record in the shot to 57-11 1/4 and her Trinidad & Tobago national best in the discus to 192-2. “Annie came into our program winning, taking three SEC titles as a freshman,” Clark said. “She has been very consistent and helped us win a national title and SEC Championship in 2009. Her ability to score when necessary is something I look forward to and depend on, and her maturity over the years has been very evident. “I am anxious to see that continue to develop. She brings a lot to the table, and we look forward to having her all year in 2012, keeping that momentum and being a leader of our team. You couple her with Chanelle, Brittany and Ellen, you have great team leadership. We look forward to getting this group together and getting the team going down the right path.” Alexander isn’t the only scorer in the throws regiment, as Clark men-tioned. Senior Kelly, junior Harrison and sophomore Halvorson all have contributed points to Tennessee at the league level. Harrison has twice finished sixth in the weight throw, including 2011, and Halvorson was eighth indoors in the shot a year ago. Kelly was sixth in the hammer in 2009 and has been on the cusp in the weight and hammer several more times. Sophomore Katherine Dresch was 14th in the javelin in 2011 and hopes to move into scoring arrange this time around.

Women’s Sprints/Hurdles/Relays

Discussion of the sprint/hurdles group begins with Wortham, who won an SEC title in the 400m hurdles last season, something no Lady Vol had done since 1992. She also scored at the conference level in the long jump, high jump, pentathlon, 4x100m, 4x400m and distance medley re-lays, making her the most diverse athlete on the squad. “Ellen is the leader of the sprint group,” Clark said. “There is no ques-tion, she has impacted that area with points, her tenacity and competitive-ness. She always gives you what she’s got and gives you her best shot.” Wortham has a veteran cast around her that has seen dividends from a full year of training with coach Seagrave. Seniors Brittany Jones and Ashley Harris, and juniors Kia Jackson and Martinique Octave are seek-ing gains in individual events, hoping to generate points in that fashion. “Kia, Ashley, Brittany and Martinique have had a full year in Sharon’s program, and I think we are going to see some improved results from them,” Clark said. “They had some good results on relays last year, and you should start to see some development in the open races this year as well. “I am happy about Brittany Jones being healthy, and we’ll take any-thing her body will allow her to give. She’s always given us her best; I don’t think that is going to change.” A year ago, Harris, Wortham, Octave and Jackson were on UT’s sixth-place SEC 4x100m relay, while middle dis-tance runners Price, Snapp and Ruff joined with Oc-tave and Wortham to give UT not only SEC-scoring 4x4 units but an All-Amer-ica NCAA quartet as well, with a seventh-place ef-fort outdoors. Natural hurdlers besides Wortham include senior Bianca Blair and freshman Kasha McDou-gald, who specialize more in the 100m variety. Blair owns a best of 13.57 and is seeking a breakout race as a Lady Vol. Maryville’s Petree is expected to work indoors in the 200/400 meters and outdoors in the 800, as mentioned previously.

All-American, SEC champion and 15-time league scorer Ellen Wortham should once again provide UT with a bevy of points in the hurdles, jumps, sprints, relays and pentathlon as a senior.

Last season, Brittany Sheffey gave UT its fourth SEC 1500m champion since 2004, and in 2012 she hopes to add to the 11 times she has scored at the conference level.

the tone for a team that wel-comes some talented new-comers in all event areas. “Our goal for the track season is to not only not lose ground but make gains. We have some returnees and some newcomers who can help, and we look forward to those challenges.”

Men’s Distance/Relays

Clark welcomes back four Vols who scored in distance events in 2011. Fassino, a senior, turned in a fifth-place finish at the SEC Outdoor meet in the steeplechase and is back for only track this season after exhausting his cross country eligibility in 2010. Franklin, the most decorated of UT’s distance runners, enters his senior campaign as a nine-time SEC scorer, including five times in the 800 meters. A year ago, he placed sixth indoors in that event and contributed points outdoors as a member of UT’s 4x400m relay team. Also back is Rainey, a sophomore, who checked in seventh as a rookie in the 10,000 meters at the SEC Outdoor meet in a career-best 30:54.32. Coming off a fine senior cross country campaign is Bodary, who earned All-South Region kudos on the trails and was UT’s top runner in every race. He reported in seventh in the 5K at last year’s conference indoor affair and looks to be capable of providing the Vols with multiple scoring chances in 2012. “Anywhere from the mile to the indoor 5K, he’ll do great,” Clark said of Bodary. “It just depends on how we’ll use him. “He’s done a good job, is very talented and was very consistent in cross country. He bought into the pro-gram right away, has been very coachable and had immediate results with it. I believe he has some good performances to come this season.” While Sigilai, Spooner and DMR contributor Ford Bell moved on after last season, Tennessee will hope for others to step into the gap. Returnees such as Jordan Chaney (9th, SEC mile) and senior Tom Gilmartin (11th steeplechase) were on the verge a year ago, and sophomore Daniel Tobin could work his way into that mix as well. “All of our returning guys have to move forward and step up this season,” Clark said. “They are all capable of scoring at the conference meet. Everyone of them can get the job done. “That will be a plus for Tennessee if that happens. That is my charge as a coach to make sure we get this done and they understand what their roles and goals are.” Junior Garrek Thompson, who sat out 2011 after transferring from LSU, looks to be a possibility in the 800 and with UT’s DMR, and freshmen Jeremy Dickie and Austin Whitelaw were impressive as consistent scorers for the cross country squad as rookies. Classmate Nick Kaiser enters with a lot of promise as one of the nation’s top prep 800 runners in 2010. His 1:50.00 PR ranks second on UT’s depth chart entering the season. The DMR, which finished second at SECs in 2011, will be retooled in 2012 after everyone but 400 leg Benson departed. “The SEC is a very difficult distance conference, and right now, especially on the men’s side, you have a great amount of international students coming in. Many times, those athletes are older and more developed. “We have some good returnees who can help us, and we have some good newcomers who can be contributors. How quickly remains to be seen, but we’re talking about 18-year-old freshmen trying to compete at this level. We just have to keep plodding forward and working hard to attain our goals.”

Men’s Vertical Jumps

The group with the second-most scorers in SEC action is the pole vault corps. Without question, Berry is the leader of that cadre, as he tries to match

Women’s Vertical Jumps

Wortham, with a PR of 5-7 3/4, is UT’s top high jumper. She finished sixth in the SEC Indoor meet at 5-6 last season. Freshman Ashley Wengerter has a prep PR of 5-6 and could give UT a second option. Hadfield demonstrated she has a bright future in the pole vault, earning SEC All-Freshman Team status last season for her sixth-place outdoor clear-ance of 13-1 3/4 that set a Lady Vol rookie record. She’ll be joined by freshman Erin Champion, a Tennessee state cham-pion, who has cleared 12-1 1/2.

Women’s Horizontal Jumps

Coach Romain’s jumps group welcomes back a pair of SEC scorers in the long jump in Wortham (4th, outdoors, 19-11) and Kia Jackson (8th, indoors, 18-11 1/4), though Jackson’s PR is 19-8. He’ll try to bring sophomores Jazmen Townsend (19-11 long jump PR) and Allison Outerbridge (39-9 1/4 triple jump PR) along in their second sea-sons and welcome McDougald as a possibility in both the triple jump (38-3) and long jump (18-6). “Ellen and Kia jumped very well last season, and that is a credit to their hard work and the direction Jerome provided,” Clark said. “We can really use those points in the jumps, because they round our team out.”

Women’s Multi-Events

Wortham’s development in the pentathlon saw her emerge as a third-place finisher at the SEC meet (3,977) and an eighth-place finisher nationally (4,042) in 2011. She had posted conference outcomes of fifth in 2009 and fourth in 2010, so she has become a dependable point-producer at the in-door league meet in the multi-event competition. Kirstyn Sweeney and Wengerter are underclass performers trying to develop into additional scorers for the Big Orange.

The Vols

The 2011 season was one of progress for the Vols, as they scored at the NCAA Indoor meet for the first time since 2009, placing 39th. They also carded improved finishes of seventh indoors and eighth outdoors at the SEC Championships. But as previously mentioned, there has been some attrition, both ex-pected and unexpected, from the squad that got Tennessee headed back in the right direction. “We lost people,” Clark said. “We can’t use that as an excuse, but it’s a re-ality. We have to develop student-athletes to score points to offset the depar-tures. We will get that done. “We have to create ex-citement within our event groups. We have to coach the athletes who are here to score points and win. I believe we can do that, be-cause in the cross country season, we had lost three of our top five from the previ-ous season and didn’t give much ground in terms of our SEC performance.” The Vols do welcome back SEC vault champion Berry for the outdoor sea-son only, as well as previous league scorers Chase Bran-non and Robert Rasnick in that event. Clark also can count on experienced dis-tance men Chris Bodary, Steve Fassino, Joe Frank-lin and Jake Rainey, and relay legs Deaundra Dailey, Reggie Juin, Jarael Nelvis and Varick Tucker to set

With only outdoor eligibility remaining, Joe Berry will try to become the second pole vaulter in school history to win six SEC titles in that event.

2012 SEASON PREVIEW

Joe Franklin is a nine-time SEC Championship meet scorer for the Vols, including five times in the 800 meters, in which he finished sixth indoors in 2011.

impacts Griffin’s first year in charge of the sprinters, and recruiting will be a priority. Still, UT welcomes back seniors Dailey and Tucker, who were mem-bers of the seventh-place 4x400m relay units at last season’s SEC meets. Dailey also was a part of the scor-ing 4x1 unit at the league meet as well. Nelvis (4x4) and Juin (4x1) contributed to scor-ing units a year ago and should once again be key components, with Nelvis likely to play a bigger role with the 4x1 in Locke’s ab-sence. Hurdler Benson and middle distance guys Franklin and Thompson will be part of the equation with the 4x4, and newcom-ers Anderson and David Hayes should provide as-sistance on one or both relay tandems. Nelvis is the top returnee individually in the shorter sprints (6.86/10.54/21.12), while Hayes is second on the depth chart in the 100m (10.75) and Anderson is next in the 200m (21.49). In the 400m, Tucker (47.37) and Dailey (47.74) have the best marks of the returnees. Anderson is next at 48.55.

Men’s Hurdles

Benson returns after finishing eighth in the 60m hurdles at the 2011 SEC Indoor meet, and he appeared he was capable of scoring in the 400m hurdles when he was disqualified in the prelims. He has run 8.15 indoors and 14.28 and 52.85 outdoors in the 60m, 100m and 400m hurdles.

Men’s Multi-Events

Carney is the lone returnee, but he is not expected to compete due to injury. That leaves true freshman Tabor, the 2011 Tennessee Division II state champion with a PR score of 6,767 as the Vols’ only decathlete.

The Schedule

Tennessee opens the indoor slate Jan. 13-14 at the Kentucky Invita-tional. The squads will make two new excursions in 2012 to Birmingham, Ala., for the Auburn Indoor Invitational (Jan. 21) and to Akron, Ohio, for the Akron Invitational (Feb. 10-11). Along the way, the Big Orange will make return trips to the Texas A&M Mondo Challenge, New Balance Collegiate Invitational (New York City) and Husky Classic (Seattle, Wash./distance only) before going back to Lexington for the SEC Indoor Championships (Feb. 24-26) and to Nampa, Idaho, for the NCAA Indoor Championships (March 9-10). Outdoors, UT opens with a split weekend on March 23-24. While the distance runners head to the Stanford Invitational on those dates, the rest of the squad will be in Starkville, Miss., for the scored SEC/Big 10 Challenge on Jan. 23. Following a second-straight dual meet battle with UCLA on the West Coast on March 31, Clark’s squads play host to the Tennessee Challenge (April 7) and Sea Ray Relays (April 11-14) in back-to-back weeks. Akron, Carson-Newman and North Carolina A&T are expected to join the home team on April 7 at UT’s Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium. The Big Orange squads then head to the Vanderbilt Invitational (April 20-21) and Penn Relays/UCSD Triton Invitational (April 26-28) before head-ing to SEC Outdoors (May 10-13, Baton Rouge), NCAA East Preliminary Rounds (May 24-26, Jacksonville, Fla.) and NCAA Outdoors (June 6-9, Des Moines, Iowa).

Lawrence Johnson’s UT record of six league vault crowns this season. Berry swept the indoor (17-7 1/2) and outdoor (17-8 1/2) titles a season ago and hopes to follow suit in his lone shot outdoors in 2012 and add a trip to the NCAA meet to it. “When I see Joe Berry compete, I see a warrior,” Clark said. “He really does a fantasic job of getting the best out of himself at the right time. I commend him for that. “He’s had a little bumpier time outdoors in terms of getting to the na-tional meet, but I know he can overcome those obstacles. His talent and his focus will allow him to do that. I believe he’ll conquer that, and he’ll be a great boost to our program during the outdoor season.” Berry has a gifted ensemble around him, as well, as senior Rasnick and sophomore Brannon return after scoring at the conference meet last season. Brannon tied for eighth indoors (PR 16-5 1/2) and was fifth outdoors (PR 16-6 3/4), while Rasnick was seventh inside at 16-11 1/2. That group also has even more point potential, as talented sophomore Tyler Porter returns with a PR of 16-7 1/4 and is joined by redshirt freshman Michael Maira (15-0) and true freshman Sam Tabor (14-6), a state champion decathlete and vaulter. “Russ Johnson is our men’s pole vault coach, and he does an outstanding job. When I was appointed the head coach here, I thought he would be the man for the job, and I was correct. He has a great record and has done fantastic things with UT’s vaulters, and we anticipate more of the same from the vault group this season.” With high jumpers Hunter (7-3) and Kevin Carney (6-9) battling injuries, freshman Derek McClardy offers UT’s best mark in that event at 6-8.

Men’s Horizontal Jumps

With the injured Hunter being an All-American long jumper and indoor/outdoor SEC scorer in that event, someone will need to step up and fill his shoes. While junior Desmond Brown hasn’t shown 26-foot range like Hunter, his 25-9 1/4 jump from 2010 was good enough to earn him fifth at the SEC Outdoor meet. He also scored indoors that season and is working with Romain to try and rediscover that form in 2012. Freshman Tyler Anderson, Tennessee’s Gatorade Track & Field Athlete of the Year, comes to campus with a prep best of 24-8 1/4 in the long jump and a 48-7 1/4 PR in the triple jump.

Men’s Throws

Frazier’s throws corps returns only one veteran, junior Drew Thomas. He finished 11th in the weight throw at the SEC Indoor meet in 2011 and hopes to produce points this time around. Redshirt freshman Matthew Hoty will finally make his Big Orange debut after a decorated prep career. He had PRs of 65-11 in the shot and 188-11 in the discus in high school. Transfer Tavis Bailey looks promising in the dis-cus after placing fifth at the USA Junior Championships last summer, while former Wake Forest javelin thrower Luke Hadden (200-3) hopes to make an SEC impact after scoring in the ACC. Freshmen Carson Frost (66-0 weight throw) and Kyle Quinn (217-11 javelin throw) appear to be promising stu-dent-athletes as well. “Matthew Hoty is obvi-ously a good one,” Clark said. “I look forward to seeing him throw, and I think he can put points on the board for us. At this point, we believe it will be better for Tavis to red-shirt.”

Men’s Sprints/Relays

Losing Locke certainly

2012 SEASON PREVIEW

Deaundra Dailey helped three relay units score at the SEC level as a junior and hopes to do more of the same in 2012 as well as try to contend for a spot in the 400-meter finals.

Steve Fassino is Tennessee’s top returning running-event scorer from the 2011 SEC Outdoor meet, having finished fifth in the 3000m steeplechase for the Big Orange.

The 2012 outdoor campaign will mark the third 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 again this season by Drake University on June 6-9. 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, 2012 will once again feature East and West Preliminary Rounds, held in Jacksonville, Fla., and Austin, Texas., 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 24-26, with the University of North Florida hosting the East site and the University of Texas 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.

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), Brittany Sheffey (2011) 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. During Clark’s nine years at the wheel of Tennessee track & field, 38 athletes (35 female/three male) have combined to earn 167 (162 female/five male) All-America certificates, with his charges collecting 12 NCAA titles (nine indoors and three outdoors, all by women). He also has produced 55 SEC championships (53 by women [29 indoors/24 outdoors] and two by men [one indoors/one outdoors] during that time period. Evander Wells was 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 12 national women’s event winners under Clark’s watch are 2011 indoor 5000m champ Jackie Areson, 2010 indoor and outdoor 800m champ Wright, 2009 indoor mile champ and NCAA meet-record-holder 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.

ACADEMIC PROWESS...

In the classroom, Clark’s high expectations have been met with equal success, as his track & field/cross country troops have tallied 197 (157 women/40 men) SEC Academic Honor Roll recognitions, 24 female Capital One Academic All-District IV nods and 10 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 and Price followed in 2011. 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. Price followed in the footsteps of Bowman and Wright. She became UT’s four-straight SEC Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year honoree in 2011 as a co-winner.

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 sprint medley relay 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 in 2009. The 4x1500m unit ran a world-record clocking, while the 4x8 brought the baton home in an American-record readout.

TENNESSEE COACHING STAFF

J.J. Clark is in his 10th 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.In 2011-12, Clark added another responsibility to his list, as he took over coaching duties of the men’s cross country and distance units after coaching only the women’s group the past nine years. 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. The cross country teams 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 nearby Rockford, Tenn. On the oval, Tennessee has won seven national championships and claimed 51 SEC titles (22 indoors/29 outdoors) in track & field through the years.

CLARK’S BIG ORANGE SUCCESS...

The architect of an amazing reclamation project with the women’s cross country and track & field programs at Rocky Top, Clark spent seven impressive seasons in Knoxville before assuming control of both the men’s and women’s teams. During that time, the women’s cross country program 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. He stands as the all-time winningest women’s cross country coach in the history of UT Athletics. On the trails, his distaff troops carved out eight consecutive top-three performances at the SEC Championships (2002-09), 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 10 seasons under his watch, finishing third three times along with the four triumphs the squad has enjoyed. 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 four additional top-10 outings (Indoors: seventh in 2011, t8th in 2008; Outdoors: t7th in 2004, t10th in 2009) during his stay in Knoxville. UT also has nine SEC top-three outcomes (seven 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 is trying to match that feat with the men’s team.

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). 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. 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.

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. In cross country, Clark has groomed 14 female athletes who have totaled 31 All-South Region awards in 10 seasons and 13 who’ve accumulated 23 total All-SEC honors. He added his first male honorees in 2011, as Austin Whitelaw earned SEC All-Freshman status and Chris Bodary made the All-South Region squad.

Tennessee’s efforts at the NCAA and SEC Championships, Penn Relays and other competitions have earned the program and its athletes and coaches a great deal of exposure.

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, 2010 and 2011 DMRs lowered the SEC record to 11:16.61, 11:14.59 and 11:05.37, respectively, while Cook’s 2005 collegiate record in the 800m also stands as an SEC best. In addition to the DMR upgrade in 2011, Areson posted a league 3K indoor best of 9:10.49, while Liz Costello lowered the SEC 10K mark to 33:42.96. 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 nine years on The Hill, UT women’s marks in 16 events indoors and 18 events outdoors have been revised, while one men’s best (outdoors) has been eclipsed since 2010. In addition to that, 21 Lady Vol freshman records (10 indoors/11 outdoors) have fallen, and two Vol rookie standards (both indoors in 2011) have tumbled.

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 Clark’s 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, 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. UF was extended invitations four more times to the national meet under his leadership, 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, Clark 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.

John Frazier is in his sixth season as throws coach at Tennessee and was promoted to associate head coach in 2011. He joined the 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 U.S. In August 2007, he traveled to Osaka, Japan, and worked with the American women as they competed at the IAAF World 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 five 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. After dealing with some injuries and a redshirt season, Alexander bounced back strong in 2011, sweeping SEC Outdoor shot put and discus crowns. She follow that up with matching third-place outcomes in the discus and shot at the NCAA Outdoor meet during a campaign in which she improved her outdoor PRs to 57-11 ¼ in the shot and 192-2 in the discus. That discus mark also bettered her previous Trinidad & Tobago national record, while the shot effort raised her school record. During her career, Alexander has scored nine times in SEC meets, with three runner-up finishes to go with five victories, and she is a four-time All-American (third indoors and out in the shot put in 2009 and third outdoors in the shot and discus in 2011). She was second in the shot at SEC Indoors before redshirting outdoors in 2010 and indoors in 2011. 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. In 2011, Harrison grabbed sixth at SEC Indoors in the weight throw, while Halvorson was eighth in the shot. 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. 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 23 years in the track & field coaching community, Frazier’s athletes have attained 38 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, and Garland Porter, a former Vol who excels post-collegiately in the weight and hammer throws. 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 (14) and Courtney (11), and one son, John Jr. (9).

TENNESSEE COACHING STAFF

Jerome Romain is in his third 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. He coached his first All-American at UT in 2011, helping Justin Hunter leap to an eighth-place finish and national honors in the long jump at the NCAA Indoor meet. The rookie standout carded a UT indoor freshman record of 26-1 1/2 along the way and was fifth indoors and seventh outdoors at the SEC level despite playing football for the Vols during the season and spring drills. Hunter also stands No. 3 all-time on UT’s indoor performers list with the previously-mentioned mark. Romain also worked with Lady Vols Ellen Wortham, an SEC scorer in the long jump (fourth outdoors), high jump (sixth indoors) and pentathlon (third indoors), and Kia Jackson (eighth in long jump at SEC Outdoors) last season. Wortham also garnered All-America acclaim in the pentathlon, taking eighth at the NCAA Indoor meet. In 2010, Vol Desmond Brown emerged as one of the SEC’s best in the long jump under Romain’s tutelage, 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 in 2010, Romain helped 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 Wortham, who netted fourth place in the pentathlon at the league indoor meet. 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. Romain earned an associate’s degree in science from Blinn in May 1993, a bachelor’s in kinesiology/athletic training from Arkansas in May 1996 and a master’s in kinesiology/exercise science from UA in 2000. He also is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). Among the academic honors he earned as a collegian were GTE Academic All-America First Team in 1995, SEC Academic Honor Roll in 1995, UA Dean’s List from 1994-96 and the Arthur Ashe Jr. award in 1994-95. Additionally, he was a member of the Kappa Delta Phi education honor society and spent time while pursuing his master’s as an academic advisor to soccer and track & field student-athletes at UA. Romain and his wife, Monika, have three daughters.

TENNESSEE COACHING STAFF

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 second season at the University of Tennessee. Seagrave joined J.J. Clark’s staff on Oct. 27, 2010, and is directing her attention and energy toward serving as assistant track & field coach for women’s sprints and hurdles at Rocky Top. The 2011 campaign saw Seagrave make an immediate impact for the Big Orange, as she continued the development of Ellen Wortham and helped the junior become UT’s first SEC 400m hurdles champ since Tonya Lee in 1992 as well as a third-place finisher in the pentathlon. Wortham carded a seventh-place effort in the 400m hurdles at the NCAA Outdoor meet and was part of the Lady Vols’ seventh-place 4x400m relay outcome at that meet. The NCAA relay effort in 2011 helped Seagrave produce a total of four first-team All-Americans outdoors in her first season, including Wortham (400mH, 4x400mR) and the other three relay legs: Martinique Octave, Nijgia Snapp and Kianna Ruff. That group also carded fifth at SEC Indoors and placed seventh outdoors with Price running in place of Snapp. She also had the 4x100m relay unit of Ashley Harris, Wortham, Octave and Kia Jackson check in sixth at SEC Outdoors and garner Honorable Mention All-America kudos at the NCAA Outdoor meet with Jones filling Wortham’s leg. A 1991 graduate of UNC with a degree in speech communications, 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 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 whom 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 Diggs as those who’ve impacted her through their success on the track and the way they’ve carried themselves, both during and after their competitive careers. From 2000 to 2010, the Lady Vol aide 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 most recently devoted 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 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 (9) and Ryan (7), 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 Conference 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.

TENNESSEE COACHING STAFF

Former SEC and USA Track & Field standout Rohsaan Griffin joined the Tennessee staff as a volunteer assistant in 2011 to work with the Big Orange men’s and women’s sprint groups. A year later, he finds himself in the position of full-time assistant coach, in charge of the UT men’s sprints and hurdles corps and relay units. A 1996 graduate of LSU, and the victor in the 200 meters that season at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, Griffin enjoyed a very successful professional career in track & field. He was the 1997 and 1999 USA Indoor 200m champion and posted finishes of fourth and sixth at the World Indoor Championships those seasons. At the 1999 USA meet, he ran a time of 20.32 that was then an American indoor record. An eight-time All-American and SEC champion as a collegian, Griffin was the winner of the SEC Indoor and Outdoor 200m titles in 1996 and won indoors as well in 1995. He also competed in the hurdles earlier in his track career, which took him from La Marque [Texas] High School (‘92), to San Jacinto Junior College (‘94) to LSU (‘96). Griffin previously served full-time coaching stints at East Tennessee State and Milligan College in Johnson City, Tenn., before filling the volunteer post with Tennessee. He also is a four-year veteran of the U.S. Army, serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom with the Army’s World Class Athlete Program (WCAP). WCAP is designed to give elite soldier-athletes an opportunity to compete in the Olympics, world and national championships in numerous sports. The program provides soldier-athletes as goodwill ambassadors for sporting events throughout the world and it helps the Army with recruiting and retention, according to Paulette Freese, WCAP manager of the Army Community and Family Support Center. Athletes in the program, however, live by the motto “Soldiers First.” For embodying that spirit, Griffin received three Army Achievement Medals and an Army Commendation Medal for meritorious service during operations in the Battle of Najaf.

TENNESSEE COACHING STAFF

Daniel Goetz is in his first season as a volunteer assistant at UT. He will be working with the men’s and women’s distance runners. A 2010 graduate of Bryan College in Dayton, Tenn., Goetz began his coaching career in 2010 as an assistant for the Lions’ cross country team. He helped the men’s squad post a seventh-place finish at the NAIA Championships, the best in school history. In January 2011, he enrolled in graduate school at UT to pursue a master’s in kinesiology with a double focus in biomechanics and exercise physiology. He teaches an activity class as a graduate teaching assistant in the kinesiology department and observed the Tennessee track & field staff before becoming a part of the unit in 2011. An all-state performer in cross country and track in his only season of participation as a senior at Chattanooga Christian School, Goetz was the first recruit by the Bryan program in 2005. He qualified four times for the NAIA Cross Country Championships and earned All-America acclaim in the mile in 2008 for a fourth-place finish on the oval. He also was rewarded for his work in the classroom, picking up NAIA Academic All-America accolades in 2009 and 2010.

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 protégés have set women’s records at numerous meets, including the Knoxville News Sentinel Relays and the Volunteer Track Classic. Among his 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 UT 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 other 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.

Back for his 10th 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 nine seasons have seen Job develop school-record-setting athletes as well as SEC scorers and NCAA qualifiers. His pupils hold the top five outdoor marks and the top three indoor heights in school history. The most recent Lady Vol to join that club is Linda Hadfield, who became an impact performer as a freshman in 2011. Her career-best clearance of 13-1 3/4 at the SEC Outdoor Championships earned her a sixth-place finish and SEC All-Freshman Team status. That mark ranks her No. 4 on UT’s all-time performers list outdoors. Alicia Essex, whom Job developed into a three-time SEC scorer, is a member of that cadre. 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.

Volunteer Assistant(Men’s Pole Vault)Seventh Year

Russ Johnson is in his seventh year as the men’s pole vault coach at Rocky Top, and he will work alongside jumps coach Jerome Romain for the third season. Johnson returned to The Hill in 2006 with the goal of helping Tennes-see’s pole vaulters continue to build on their long history of dominance in the Southeastern Conference. He has done exactly that, and with great consistency, since taking over coaching duties in the event. Johnson’s vaulters have won 10 SEC titles during his tenure at Ten-nessee. UT pole vaulters have combined to score 176.80 points at 12 SEC Championships since Johnson began coaching, an average of just under 15 points per competition. Joe Berry pulled off a season sweep in 2011, walking away with SEC Indoor and Outdoor crowns in the vault. The junior cleared 17-7 1/2 in-doors and soared over 17-8 1/2 outdoors to win titles four and five of his collegiate career. Redshirt freshman Chase Brannon was fifth outdoors (PR of 16-6 3/4) and tied for eighth inside at the league meets, while junior Robert Rasnick was seventh indoors. An injury to Berry lessened the point production in 2010, but 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 Outdoor meet. The cham-

pion at both meets was Berry, who posted his second- and third-straight SEC pole vault crowns under Johnson to go along with a runner-up finish. Berry’s wins, along with top-eight finishes from Holtz and Michael Ayers both indoors and outdoors, meant Johnson had coached at least three ath-letes 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 program’s 25th conference outdoor title. Johnson also is responsible for putting Hogue and Berry on the pro-gram’s all-time outdoor 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 indoors). 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 cur-rently stands second on Tennessee’s storied pole vault top-10 list with a best of (5.65m) 18-6.5, trailing only collegiate record holder Lawrence John-son. Serving as a fifth-year coach in 2000 and training post-collegiately in 2000 and 2001, Johnson remained involved in the pole vault and has con-tinued to diligently study the event. He also holds firm beliefs about the im-portance 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 Medical College of Georgia in 2004. He currently works as a physical therapist and site coordinator at Ortho Tennessee Therapy, which is part of Knoxville Orthopedic Clinic. 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.

UT ADMINISTRATION

Dr. Joseph A. DiPietro was introduced as the 24th president of the University of Tennessee on Oct. 22, 2010. He arrived at UT in 2006 to serve as vice president for agriculture and was later named chancellor of the Institute of Agriculture in June 2010. DiPietro came to Tennessee from the University of Florida, where he had been dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine since 1997. Prior to that he was at the University of Illinois as associate dean for research at the College of Veterinary Medicine and assistant director of the Illi-nois Agriculture Experiment Station. He also was professor of veterinary pathobiology. The native of Steubenville, Ohio, served as the chief academic and ad-ministrative officer of the Institute of Agriculture and was responsible for planning, implementing, and leading strong, progressive research, teach-ing, and extension programs. Components of the Institute of Agriculture include UT Extension, the Tennessee Agricultural Experiment Station, the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, and the College of Veterinary Medicine. DiPietro and his wife, Deborah, live in Knoxville. They have three chil-dren.

The University of Tennessee named Dave Hart vice chancellor and di-rector of athletics on Sept. 5, 2011. Hart, who was the director of athletics

at Florida State University for 12 years from 1995-2007, previously served as Executive Director of Athletics at the University of Alabama. Comprehensive athletic success exemplified Hart’s tenure at Florida State, as a combined 35 ACC Championships were won by 10 different Seminole athletic programs during his tenure. Additionally, the Seminole football team won nine ACC titles and appeared in four national cham-pionship games, winning the 1999 BCS National Championship with a Sugar Bowl victory over Virginia Tech. Men’s outdoor track & field also claimed two national championships during that time, while the baseball program appeared in the College World Series five times and the softball program won nine ACC titles while playing in the 2002 Women’s College World Series. During Hart’s three years at Alabama, the Crimson Tide claimed the 2009 BCS National Championship and individual athletic teams posted a com-bined eight top-three finishes nationally. He has 20 years of service as a director of athletics, including eight at East Carolina (1987-95), where he arrived in 1983 after coaching and teaching at the high school following his graduation from Alabama in 1971. Highly respected as a visionary and industry leader, Hart’s career has featured service as the president of both the National Association of Col-legiate Directors of Athletics and the Division 1A Athletics Directors’ As-sociation. A former recipient of the Robert R. Neyland Award honoring lifetime achievement, Hart has also been named by his colleagues as the Athletic Director of the Year for the Southeast Region in both 2000 and 2005. Hart met his wife, the former Pam Humble, while at Alabama. Pam is a 1970 graduate of UA, and the couple has three children: Rick, who serves currently as the athletic director at UT Chattanooga, Jamie and Kelly. The Harts are the grandparents of five grandchildren: Trevor, Caroline, McKin-ley, Olivia and Kingsley.

Triumphant collegiate programs are able to distinguish themselves from their counterparts because of superiority on the field of competi-tion and within the classroom. Under the vision and direction 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 Uni-versity of Florida for 34 years where he held numerous administrative roles. He was senior vice president of agricultural and natural resources, 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 com-munity and professional organizations. 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.

2011 SEASON IN REVIEW

The 2011 track & field campaign saw the Tennessee women remain among the nation’s top programs and the men’s team begin its climb back to the heights at which the Vols are accustomed. J.J. Clark’s second year in command of both the men’s and women’s squads at Rocky Top left him desiring more from those units and recommitted to making sure he and his staff are doing all they can to make UT the outfit that everyone expects it to be. The Lady Vols produced their 10th top-ten national finish under Clark’s tutelage, tying for seventh place with 24 points at the NCAA Indoor Championships in College Station, Texas. Senior Jackie Areson played a huge role in that outcome, becoming the first UT woman to win an indoor national title in the 5000 meters. Areson covered the distance in 16:04.16, while classmate Liz Costello finished fifth in 16:11.06 to provide 14 points for the Big Orange in that event. Areson added a fourth-place outcome in the 3000m to boot, crossing the line in 9:17.88. “We put some points on the board, which was the obvious goal,” Clark said. “Jackie winning the 5K was sensational. Liz Costello also put forth a great effort in the 5K. She wasn’t feeling well but came back and was very, very courageous in scoring for the team.” UT also secured points in the 800m from junior Chanelle Price (6th, 2:05.42) and via eighth-place finishes from junior Ellen Wortham in the pentathlon (4,042 points) and the distance medley relay (DMR), with Price, Wortham, sophomore Nijgia Snapp and junior Brittany Sheffey moving the baton around in 11:07.86. Garnering first-team USTFCCCA All-America status were Areson in the 3000m and 5000m, Costello in the 5000m, Price in the 800m and DMR, Wortham in the pentathlon and DMR and Snapp and Sheffey with the DMR. Costello netted second-team kudos for a 12th-place effort in the 3K, as did Snapp, Wortham, sophomore Martinique Octave and freshman Kianna Ruff with UT’s ninth-place 4x400m relay unit. After failing to get on the board and having no All-Americans at the 2010 NCAA Indoor meet, Tennessee’s men wound up 39th with five points and boasted two All-Americans in 2011, both of them freshmen. In the men’s 60-meter dash, redshirt freshman Dentarius Locke rolled down the straightaway in 6.67 seconds to lasso a fifth-place finish. That effort was the best in the 60 by a Vol at the NCAA Indoor meet since Justin Gatlin and Leonard Scott went one-two in 2002. “Dentarius came out this year and was very excited to be run-ning, and we were very happy to have him here,” Clark said. “He has just kept getting better and better throughout the season, and that’s what you want them to do.“ Justin Hunter, also a standout on the foot-ball team, earned track & field All-America cre-dentials by virtue of an eighth-place effort in the long jump. His mark of record was 25 feet, 4 1/4 inches, coming at the end of an indoor season that saw him set the UT freshman record and the No. 3 all-time in-door mark at 26-1 1/2. “It was good to see Justin become our second Vol All-Ameri-can at this meet,” Clark said. “On both sides, we need to have more bodies here.”

“The women were top 10, and the men’s team definitely needs more quality. We’re go-ing to make sure that happens. That said, I am very proud of the efforts of the people who were here.” At the SEC level, the Lady Vols improved from fourth in 2010 to third in 2011, while the Vols moved from 10th to eighth. The Lady Vols’ 78 SEC Indoor points were bolstered by victories from Areson in the 3000m, Costello in the 5000m, Price in the 800m and the school’s fifth-consecutive league triumph in the distance medley relay. Areson led an impressive one-two-three Lady Vol finish in the 3K, eclipsing a 24-year-old league meet record with her 9:10.49 effort. Costello and Sheffey followed her across the line, enabling Tennessee to snare 24 points in a single race. “Obviously, it’s very satisfying, but more importantly we were able to score points for our team,” Clark said. “It’s very gratifying to take one-two-three, because I’ve never done that before. People say that I’m an ‘800 coach’, but I’ve never done that in the 800, so maybe I’m a 3K coach,” Clark said as he chuckled. “In all seriousness, it’s a great feeling for Jackie to break a 24-year-old record. It shows you how good she was, because she broke it fairly easily, and she just had a good run. There were really a lot of athletes in that race, probably too many, and there was a lot of bumping and pushing in the beginning. Jackie just took the lead and never looked back.” Tennessee also toppled its year-old meet record in the DMR, with Sheffey, junior Ashley Harris, Price and Areson working together toward an 11:05.37 clocking. That gave the Big Orange women their seventh win in that event at the SEC meet under Clark’s direction and qualified them for nationals. “Running an automatic qualifying mark at the end of the meet is absolutely fantastic,” Clark said. “It’s one of the top times in the country, and we’re happy we punched our ticket to the NCAA meet.” The Vols weren’t able to hit a qualifying mark or break a record, but their runner-up showing in the DMR was equally satisfying for Clark and his staff. The quartet of senior Chris Rapp, junior Terry Benson, freshman Ford Bell and junior Peter Sigilai put together a season-best time of 9:47.45 to contribute eight points to the squad’s coffers. Sigilai’s anchor leg was perhaps his finest hour as a Vol. “It was great to see Peter have a great anchor leg and an explo-sive finish,” Clark said. “We knew that they could do this. We were just hoping that they got it done, and they did. We needed all the points we could from the men, and Peter did a good job providing points for his team.” Joe Berry did the DMR tandem one better, procuring 10 points for his victory in the pole vault. Berry, a senior indoors, completed a fantastic comeback from injury in winning his second SEC Indoor title and the fourth overall crown. After redshirting outdoors a year ago due to leg problems and contemplating doing the same indoors in 2011, Berry is no doubt glad he pressed onward. The league runner-up indoors in 2008,

Jackie Areson won the SEC Indoor 3000m in a meet-record time and became the first Lady Vol to win an NCAA Indoor 5000m title.

Peter Sigilai anchored UT’s DMR to second place and was an indoor and outdoor scorer in the 800m at the SEC Championships.

champion in 2009 and eighth-place finisher a year ago, he cleared 17 feet, 7 1/2 inches this time around to hand UT its 18th all-time indoor win in the vault and fifth in six years. “That was big,” Clark said. “Joe Berry is a competitor, and he has proven that. He had a down year last year with an injury, but he’s come back in great form. “His coach, Russ Johnson, does a great job with him. Robert Rasnick (7th) and Chase Brannon (t8th) scored in that group, and they just did a great job in getting the team excited. They got us a big 12 points to get us on the road.” “I just want to keep improving,” Clark said. “We’re shooting for the number-one spot, and right now we have improvements, personal bests, records, SEC champions on both sides, and that’s where we’re starting from right now. “We’re going to move forward until we get to that top spot. For right now, we have to climb the ladder until we reach the pinnacle.” Looking back at the SEC Indoor honor roll, Tennessee was well represented. Making the women’s All-SEC First Team were Areson, Costello, Harris, Price and Sheffey, while Berry was a member of the men’s unit. Areson was named SEC Indoor Runner of the Year for her exploits, while Costello tied as the SEC Co-High Point Scorer among women with 18 points. Making the SEC’s second unit for Tennessee were men’s DMR components Benson, Ford, Rapp and Sigilai, while Vols Hunter and Locke, and Lady Vol Ruff earned spots on the SEC All-Freshman Team. The outdoor campaign didn’t go quite as well for either team, but the Lady Vols weren’t far off their indoor pace, and there were plenty of bright spots for Tennessee to celebrate as a whole. The NCAA Outdoor meet saw the UT women tally 20 points, just four fewer than they scored indoors. This despite the loss of Areson to graduation and the absence of Costello due to a fall at the NCAA East Preliminary Round that prevented her from qualifying nation-ally. After finishing sixth in the 800m indoors, Price upped her game outdoors with a 2:03.02 effort that enabled her to place third for her best individual showing as a collegian. “Chanelle did a lot of things right, showed good poise and had a very solid race,” Clark said. “We discussed it afterward, and she felt like she might have gotten excited and tried to move too early com-ing down the homestretch. She is learning how to execute from the front, and it’s exciting to see her discovering the ability to master that. “There’s definitely a lot more there for her, and she made nice progress since the indoor season. She executed and main-tained her poise better during the outdoor season.” Junior thrower Annie Alexander add-ed two more third-place performances, making a big impact after redshirting in-doors and rediscover-ing the outstanding form she displayed as a freshman. A l r e a d y t h e school record-holder indoors and out in the shot put, Alexander improved her outdoor best to 57-11 to snare third in that event. She matched that place-ment in the discus with a fling of 188-9, adding to the third-

place indoor and outdoor shot efforts she had at the 2009 NCAA meet. “Annie had a ban-ner meet,” Clark said. “She came, delivered and threw her best. She competed in both events (discus, shot) very well. “John Frazier did a great job of fine-tun-ing her and getting her ready. She improved ev-ery throw, and I want to congratulate her on doing a great job and also coach Frazier on delivering that.” Tennessee’s 4x400m relay combination of Wortham, Ruff, Octave and Snapp added two more points, winding up seventh in a season-best 3:32.15. Locke was the Vols’ lone representative at the NCAA Outdoor gathering in Des Moines, Iowa, as Hunter and Berry struggled in the cool, damp conditions at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds and did not qualify. Against a veteran field, Locke managed to advance to the 200m dash final and chart an eighth-place finish in 20.91. He came up short in the 100, bowing out in the semifinal round. Still he was good enough to earn All-America status in each, including first-team kudos in the longer race and second-team honors in the shorter one. First-teamers for the Lady Vols included Alexander, Octave, Price, Ruff, Snapp and Wortham. Second-unit selections were Shef-fey (12th in 1500m) and Wortham (semifinalist in 400m hurdles). “My goal coming into the final day was to see if the women could get into the 20s for points,” Clark said. “I figured if we could get into the mid-20s that would probably get us a top-10 finish. We came in 11th and did the best we could with what we had, and that’s all we could do. “On the men’s side, we need more talent at the national level. It’s plain and simple.” The SEC Outdoor meet featured both the Lady Vols and Vols climbing the ladder from the previous season. The UT women moved from seventh to fifth, while the men rose from ninth to eighth. More impressive was the fact that the Big Orange walked out of Athens, Ga., with eight individual titles at that meet. Berry, a junior in eligibility outdoors, brought his “A game” to the track on the final day of the meet, ignoring the swirling winds to claim a league indoor/outdoor sweep and his fifth conference title in the pole vault for the Vols. His 17-feet, 8 1/2 inch season-topping clearance was only a half inch off his 2008 career best. Only six-time SEC champion and 2000 U.S. Olympic silver medalist Lawrence Johnson has won more conference pole vault titles for the Big Orange than Berry, who claimed the 17th outdoor vault crown by a Vol. “Joe’s in very, very elite company with Lawrence Johnson,” Clark said. “Joe Berry is a great competitor and a proven champion. He was focused and intense, and I am very happy he came here and did the job.” Locke nearly joined Berry as a Volunteer victor. His 10.12, wind-aided (3.0 mps) outburst in the men’s 100-meter dash left him a hundredth of a second shy of glory, as Florida’s Terrell Wilks edged him in 10.11. Locke added to that eight-point contribution with six more in the 200 meters. His season-best output of 20.59 earned him third

Liz Costello swept the 5000m at the SEC Indoor and Outdoor Championships and set a meet record in the 10K outdoors as well.

2011 SEASON IN REVIEW

Michael Spooner was fourth in the 10,000 meters and eighth in the 3000m steeplechase at the SEC Outdoor Championships.

UCLA and the Lady Vols began theirs with the Bruin women, UT’s men got two wins each from Dentarius Locke (100m dash, 200m dash) and Terry Benson (110m hurdles and 400m hur-dles) in a 111-50 dual meet loss at UCLA’s Drake Stadium on April 2. Locke tied Willie Gault’s 1983 meet re-cord in the 100-meter dash with a 10.29 read-out. The Tennessee women, on the other hand, defeated UCLA, 82-81. It was the first-ever dual meet loss by UCLA to anyone other than crosstown rival USC. Alexander (shot put/discus throw), Sheffey (800m/1500m) and Wortham (400mH, long jump) won two events each to lead the Lady Volunteers vs. the Bruins. Wortham also received the Tony Wilson Award for most valu-able women’s running event competitor at UT’s Sea Ray Relays, while Annie Alexander earned the field event award. Wortham won the 400m hurdles and assisted in victories in the 4x100m relay and 4x400m relay, while Alexander was the victor in the shot put and discus throw. The Vols, meanwhile, picked up a pair of wins of their own at Sea Rays. Sigilai won the Invitational 1500m, while the Big Orange 4x400m relay also prevailed on its home oval. In addition to what previously has been mentioned, there were other school standards broken. Locke rewrote the Vol freshman indoor mark in the 300m at 33.96 in the Hokie Invitational, while Areson improved the Lady Vol indoor 3K and 5K bests to 9:01.91 and 15:39.81, respectively, at the Penn State National and Husky Classic. Additionally, Costello lowered the outdoor women’s 10K standard to 33:25.66 at the Stanford Invitational. Academically, Tennessee continued to demonstrate Clark’s emphasis on developing champions on the track, in the classroom and in life. Price was named to the 15-member first unit of the Capital One Academic All-America Track & Field/Cross Country Team. She is the fourth from the program to earn first-team distinction and collected the 11th overall Capital One Academic All-America citation by a team member. UT had four athletes named to the Capital One Academic All-District IV Track & Field/Cross Country Team, including first-team selection Price and second-team honorees Holly Kane, Tiller and Wortham. Tennessee’s women were once again named a USTFCCCA All-Ac-ademic team, sporting a cumulative GPA of 3.22, and ten members of the Lady Vol squad were named to the 2011 USTFCCCA All-Academic Track & Field Team. Making the list were Areson, Costello, Hadfield, Aslynn Halvorson, Jessie Harrison, Kia Jackson, Octave, Price, Ruff and Wortham. Finally, a total of 33 members of the squads were named to the 2010-11 SEC Spring Academic Honor Roll. Seventeen more made the SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll, adding yet another positive note to the 2010-11 track & field season.

place and a total of 14 individual points in his first SEC Outdoor Championship meet. The Lady Vols, meanwhile, claimed seven event crowns, in-cluding double wins by Alexander and Costello, in an impressive showing. After scoring 18 points at the conference indoor meet, Costello came back outside to tally 20 in her first and only season at UT after transferring from Princeton. She did so by becoming the first Lady Vol to win an SEC 10,000m race. Costello set a meet and facility record of 33:42.96 to do so and followed it with a triumph in the 5000m to give UT its second-straight champ in that event. The Lady Vol senior was able to hold off Georgia standout Bridget Lyons twice on the UGA runner’s home track for those wins. Alexander, meanwhile, came back from a redshirt indoor campaign to sweep the outdoor shot put and discus titles just as she did as a rookie in 2008. Her heave of 57-5 earned her the shot crown, while she prevailed in the discus with a toss of 184-5 to equal Costello in outdoor league point production for Tennessee. “Since I’ve been coaching, I don’t believe I have ever had two athletes who were double victors,” Clark said. “That is outstanding, and that is what you need, especially at the national level, and they are both national-caliber athletes.” Also claiming running event victories for the Orange and White at the SEC meet were Brittany Sheffey in the 1500m, Chanelle Price, with a season indoor/outdoor sweep in the 800m, and Ellen Wortham, whose come-from-behind triumph in the 400m hurdles was one of the meet’s most scintillating performances. “We had some exciting things happen, and it is not necessarily reflected by the team finishes,” Clark said. “Our teams combined to win eight SEC championships at this meet, and Dentarius Locke was a runner-up in the 100m dash. There were some very good perfor-mances, and I am really pleased with the direction the program is going. “We had eight SEC titles this weekend between our women’s and men’s programs. We just have to get some more depth to round our team out, and we’ll be in good shape.” In terms of postseason honors, the Vols put Berry on the All-SEC First Team, while Locke was a second-team selection as well as the SEC Outdoor Freshman Runner of the Year. Locke, Bell (13th, 800m) and Chase Brannon (5th, pole vault) also earned spots on the SEC All-Freshman Team. For the Lady Vols, first-teamers included Alexander, Costello, Price, Sheffey and Wortham, while an SEC All-Freshman Team nod went to Linda Hadfield, who finished sixth and had a UT freshman record clearance of 13-1 3/4 in the pole vault. Other SEC accolades involving the Big Orange included Pr ice being named the SEC Co-Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year, marking the fourth-straight time a Lady Vol has won, and inclusion on the SEC Track & Field Community Service Teams by Vol Steve Fassino and Lady Vol Elizabeth Tiller. During the course of the season, there were other highlights, including the renewal of a long-time dual meet with UCLA, suc-cess at the Sea Ray Relays and recognition for aca-demic prowess. As the Vols renewed their historic series with

Freshman Kianna Ruff was a 4x400m relay All-American and scored at the both league meets in the 800 meters in 2011.

2011 SEASON IN REVIEW

Sprinter Dentarius Locke was an indoor and outdoor All-American and made the SEC Indoor and Outdoor All-Freshman Teams.

CONFERENCESOUTHEASTERN

Page 88: 2012 Tennessee Track & Field Media Guide

86 Tennessee TRACK & FIeLD /// 2012 Media Guide

The Southeastern Conference, with its storied 78-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 2010-11 academic year was another season to remember for the SEC, as conference teams captured five national titles and three national runner-up finishes. The SEC has won consecutive national championships in baseball, football and men’s indoor track & field. Since 1990, the SEC has won 140 national team championships for an average of more than six per year. Auburn won the SEC’s first national title of the year with its victory over Oregon in the BCS National Championship Game in football. It is the SEC’s fifth consecutive football national title. Florida won its second consecutive national title in men’s indoor track & field, while the Gators’ women’s tennis team also captured the national championship. Alabama won its fifth gymnastics national title, and South Carolina won its second consecutive national championship in baseball. Florida finished first among Southeastern Conference schools and fourth overall in the Director’s Cup final standings. Overall, the SEC finished in the top two in eight 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 Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State, Alabama and Florida winning the BCS National Title Game, Cotton, Gator, Capital One and Outback bowls, respectively. Five men’s basketball teams were invited to the NCAA Tournament, and four women’s basketball teams were also invited to the NCAA Tournament. The SEC had seven teams advance to postseason play in baseball, hosting three regionals, with South Carolina, Florida and Vanderbilt advancing to the College World Series. With 139 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, 39 SEC student-athletes garnered individual national championships, while 367 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, nine SEC schools placed in the top 40 of the NACDA Director’s Cup rankings. Florida led the

league with a fourth-place finish. LSU placed 19th, while Georgia was 20th. Tennessee finished 22nd, Arkansas 24th, Alabama 25th, Auburn 31st, Kentucky 36th and South Carolina 39th to round out the league’s top-40 finishes.

LADY VOL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

The second-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols traveled deep into the heart of Texas and cap-tured 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 victory 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 unbeliev-able 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 capturing 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 navi-gated 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 An-nie Alexander was over in the shot put ring unleashing a throw of 57 feet, two inches, that would stand up for third place and greatly leave behind her previous season-best of 54-11 1/4. In Tennessee’s final scoring opportunity, junior Phoebe Wright came through with the decisive eight points that tipped the scales in the Lady Vols’ favor. Still battling the effects of a sinus infection, she gut-ted 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 dis-tance medley relay to get the ball rolling. 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 previ-ous world and collegiate 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.

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, Ten-nessee 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 Gorham, 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 Champion, 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, Gorham, Hall and Loche.

Directed by eighth-year head coach Terry Crawford, the 1981 Tennessee Lady Vols deliv-ered the University of Tennessee its initial nation-al 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 run-ner-up UCLA’s 57 and hoist the 1981 AIAW Out-door trophy high in the Texas sky. Crawford’s squad produced a year filled with firsts. Not only did the Big Orange capture a na-tional title, Tennessee seized the 1981 Southeast-ern Conference Outdoor Championships during the first season the league sponsored 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 med-ley relay by the tandem of Barksdale, 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 performance in the sprints, closed the 2001 NCAA Outdoor Champion-ships 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 Vol-unteers, 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 ad-versity 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 momen-tum 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 cru-cial 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 fero-cious 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 Center in Fayetteville, Ark. Led by high scorer Justin Gatlin’s 22 points, nine Volunteers pieced to-gether a championship effort and changed Tennessee track and field his-tory on the home track of collegiate track’s greatest dynasty. With overachieving performances down the line, Tennessee outdis-tanced its conference foes for the title, as Alabama, LSU and Arkansas 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 certifi-cate 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 rook-ie 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 ral-lied 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 others to accumulate 51points. Tennessee scored 31 points on the final day of competition to take the lead from Washing-ton State. The Cougars finished second with 42 points. Junior Aric Long was the only Vol to claim an individ-ual 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 outstanding ca-reer at Tennessee. The senior from Monroe, 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 compe-tition. 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-re-cord 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. Captain Brian Brophy turned in a fine showing in the decathlon to finish third. The NCAA outdoor title capped a season of high-lights, as head coach Doug Brown’s, assistant head coach Bill Webb’s and assistant coach George Watts’ Vols swept the Southeastern 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 be-tween. The Volunteers won three events on the way to vic-tory, scoring 60 points,the highest total of Tennessee’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 mo-mentum. Doug Brown took the title with an 8:35.84 con-tribution. Ron Addison helped paint the awards stand orange with his runner-up finish (8:36.76). One of three Vol NCAA champions, Willie 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 included Greer Radcliff, Jones, Jon Young and Bond. The Vol quar-tet 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 Huntsman 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 81 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 (17) or outdoor (18) national meet 35 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.

2008 BEIJING OLYMPIAD

TENNESSEE REPRESENTED BY SEVEN INDIVIDUALS AT MOST RECENT OLYMPIC GAMES

The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, saw the Tennessee track & field program represented by five Vols, one Lady Vol and UT Director of Track & Field J.J. Clark. The total of five male athletes ties for the most Vols to compete in a single Olympiad. Clark, who then served as head coach of the Big Orange women’s program, was an assistant coach for the U.S. women’s middle distance contingent in Beijing, which included his younger sister, Hazel Clark, who was competing in her third Olympics. Lady Vol DeeDee Trotter overcame injury to represent America for the second time in the 400 meters, bowing out in the semifinals in 51.87 to finish 17th overall despite a balky knee that would require surgery soon afterward. The UT men were represented in four different events. Two Vols were competing in the Olympics for the first time, two for the second time and one for the third time. The most recent Orange and White competitor was Jangy Addy, who represented Liberia in the decathlon. He finished the competition in 20th place after scoring 7,665 total points and posting personal bests in the 100m and the long jump. It was Addy’s first Olympics. Another former Vol, Tom Pappas, qualified for the decathlon at the U.S. Olympic Trials and traveled to Beijing to begin competition. He was unable to complete the two-day task due to injury, however, and was forced to withdraw. It was Pappas’ third Olympics. After posting a personal best and the third-fastest qualifying time in the steeplechase prelims, Anthony Famiglietti finished 13th in the final in a time of 8:31.21. It was his second trip to the Olympic Games. Gary Kikaya, representing the Democratic Republic of the Congo, qualified for the 400m semifinals at the Games, but he finished fifth in his heat and tenth overall in the semifinals. His time of 44.94 was .12 seconds from being fast enough to qualify for the medal round. Kikaya was at the Games for the second time. Leigh Smith posted a mark of 76.55m (251-1) in the javelin qualification round, but he did not qualify for the finals. He was competing in his first Olympics.

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 par-ticipant 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. In all, the Lady Volunteers have claimed 33 Penn Relays championships during their history. Since 2004, the Tennessee women have won a total of 11 relay crowns, including three at the 2004, 2009 and 2010 meets. The 2010 event featured UT winning the 4x800m, 4x1500 and DMR for the sec-ond year in a row. This year’s 118th running of the Penn Relays takes place from April 26-28.

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 celebrated. 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 com-menced 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 36 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 and media relations as well as the coaching staffs for men’s and women’s golf and track & field, and women’s rowing 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.

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 1969 and 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.
