1971 Lynchburg Baptist College was founded by Dr. Jerry Falwell, pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church, and Dr. A. Pierre Guillermin.

1972 Lynchburg Baptist gained affilia-tion with the National Christian Colle-giate Athletic Association (NCCAA).

1976 The men’s track and cross country teams were born under the direction of Jake Matthes.

1977 The women’s track and cross coun-try teams were inaugurated by Jake Matthes, and shortly thereafter placed under the direction of Ron Hopkins, who became the first women’s head coach.

1981 The Flames men’s and women’s track teams won the NCCAA national championships. Jake Matthes was also named National Christian College Coach of the Year.

1982 Liberty joined the National As-sociation of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) for two years, earning several All-America honors at this level.

1983 Liberty joined the Mason-Dixon Conference.

1984 The Flames jumped to the ranks of National Collegiate Athletic Associa-tion (NCAA) Division II.

1986 Brant Tolsma was hired as the new men’s head track coach, as Hop-kins continued to direct the women’s squad. Jake Matthes continued as the distance coach.

1987 In its final year at the NCAA Divi-sion II level, the women’s cross country team concluded an impressive season by finishing fourth in the nation.

1988 Both the Flames and the Lady Flames placed in the top 10 nationally, with the men’s team placing sixth, and the women’s team placing seventh at the national championship meet. This season also began a streak in which

Liberty won 15 of 18 Mason-Dixon con-ference championships in cross coun-try, indoor and outdoor track through 1990.

1989 Upon its first year of competition at the Division I level, the university completed the construction of a beau-tiful track facility, ending the days of driving or jogging to practice at local high schools. Decathlete Henry Elliott became the first Liberty track athlete to achieve NCAA Divison I All-American honors.

1990 Ron Hopkins, the founder of the women’s cross country and track pro-grams, died while out on a routine run.

1991 After 14 years of beginning and building the Flames track program, Coach Jake Matthes retired from coaching. In due fashion, Liberty’s new track facility was named the Matthes-Hopkins Track Complex in tribute to the founders of Liberty track and field. In addition, Liberty joined the eight-team Big South Conference, and the highly competitive ECAC/IC4A, which is the oldest and largest - over 80 Divi-sion I teams - conference in the coun-try.

1993 Decathlete Todd Pettyjohn fin-ished ninth at the NCAA national championship meet in New Orleans, becoming Liberty’s second NCAA Divi-sion I All-American.

Building Toward Excellence ...The athletic goal of the Liberty University track and field program is to develop into a nationally competitive team at the NCAA Division I level. The Word of God declares, “Those who honor me, I will honor.” This prom-ise has proven true, as Liberty’s track team has been blessed with tremendous and rapid progress in its first three-plus decades of existence. Ultimately, the primary purpose of the team is to bring honor to the Lord Jesus Christ.

1994 After just three years in the IC4A, the men’s track team climbed all the way to a second-place finish, which was the beginning of a run of seven successive years among the Top 3 in the IC4A. Sprinter Jacob Swinton and decathlete Ryan Werner were named NCAA Division I All-Americans.

1995 After several unfortunate injuries, the Flames track & field team fielded only seven athletes at the IC4A cham-pionships. Despite a lack of personnel, Liberty edged Seton Hall by one point to capture second place in the confer-ence. For the second consecutive year, Ryan Werner was named an NCAA Divi-sion I All-American for his fourth-place finish in the decathlon at nationals.

1996 For the third time in as many years, Ryan Werner earned NCAA Divi-sion I All-American honors as a decath-lete. In an upset of major proportions, the Flames defeated heavily favored George Mason - the 1996 indoor na-tional champion -in winning the IC4A championships. The next day, sports writer Alex Rosen wrote: “A funny thing happened on the way to George Mason’s eighth consecutive IC4A title … Liberty University, a team backed by the power of God, had the sun shining on them. Liberty had what could only be described as a performance of Bibli-cal proportions.”

1997 The Flames returned to the IC4A championship as the defending cham-pion, and again defeated Track & Field News’ favorite to win, Georgetown. The meet was a combination of amaz-ing blessings and major disappoint-ments. Nevertheless, the meet yielded two individual championships, and the team placed second, making it the fourth consecutive year in which Lib-

erty finished in the top two at the IC4A championship.

1998 Liberty christened the Big South’s first season of indoor track by captur-ing both the men and women’s indoor titles. The Flames and Lady Flames proved to be equally successful out-doors, as both teams won their fifth straight Big South conference out-door track & field titles. The men’s team also tied Manhattan for third at the IC4A championships, making the Flames arguably the most consistent team in that conference over the past five years.

1999 Liberty again won both the indoor and outdoor men’s and women’s Big South Track Championships. The men’s team finished second in the IC4A Championships for the fifth time in six years. Greg Benhase, Mike Decker, Ken Howell and James Johnson represented Liberty at the National Championship. Benhase and Howell became Liberty’s 5th and 6th Division I All-Americans, both in the decathlon.

2000 2000 was a year of individual firsts for the Liberty Track & Field team. Mike Decker became Liberty’s first NCAA Di-

vision I indoor All-American by finish-ing 10th overall in the 400 meters, and Andrea Wildrick pole vaulted 13-1.5 to become Liberty’s first women’s All-American since the program moved to the Division I level in 1989. Decker repeated his All-America performance on the outdoor track, becoming the first Liberty track & field athlete to win All-American honors in both indoor and outdoor track. Josh Jones won All-America honors in the decathlon, becoming Liberty’s eighth division I de-cathlete to win the honor. The Flames won both the men’s and women’s Big South Conference Outdoor Championships for the sev-enth consecutive year and won the indoor meet again for the third year in a row. At the IC4A Championships, the men’s track & field team finished second overall, marking the seventh consecutive year that the Flames had finished in the top three in the pres-tigious event. The women’s team fin-ished 18th at the ECAC Championships, their highest-ever finish in the event.

2001 Both Liberty’s men and women extended their outdoor Big South string of victories to eight. Both also repeated as indoor champions. The Liberty ladies continued their progress, as indicated by their 12th-place finish

at the indoor ECAC, their highest fin-ish ever. The men’s seven-year string of IC4A top three finishes came to an end. Mike Decker again led the team with a strong effort, winning the 400 and finishing second in the 200, as well as running on a placing 4 x 100 relay. He scored an amazing 113 points at the IC4A championship meets in three years. Decker earned his third All-America honor, placing fifth at the in-door national championship, running the 400 in an outstanding 46.33.

2002 The 2002 season was clearly the greatest season in the history of the Lady Flames Track and Field program. Heather Sagan became the first ath-lete in Liberty history to win a national championship, as she won the 2002 NCAA Indoor National Championship in the mile, while placing second in the 2002 NCAA Outdoor National Champi-onships in the 1,500 meters. Andrea Wildrick became the first Liberty NCAA runner-up, when she placed second in the pole vault at the outdoor national championship after tying for fourth in-doors. Wildrick and Sagan also became the Liberty’s first-ever ECAC cham-pions; Wildrick winning in the pole vault both indoors and out and Sagan winning in the mile indoors and 1,500 meters outdoors. With the efforts of Sagan and Wildrick, Liberty’s Women’s Track and Field team placed 15th in the nation in both the indoor and outdoor seasons. Danielle McNaney became Liberty’s first freshman to qualify for nationals, accomplishing the feat with her 5,274-point second-place finish in the ECAC heptathlon. McNaney went on to place fourth at the USA Junior Nationals. Sagan was named the U.S. Track Coaches Association Scholar-Athlete of the Year and NCAA Virgin-ia Woman of the Year. She was also named Eastern Track’s 2002 Athlete of the Year with Wildrick as runner-up.

2003 The big news of 2003 was that the men’s 10th consecutive Big South out-door title was taken away from Liberty by the conference office. At issue was the honest effort rule. Quoting Track and Field News, “Belated DQ Reverses Big South Standings. Overzealous Ap-plication of the Rules?” You be the judge. Several days after the Big South Conference Championships, the con-ference office announced a change in the men’s team standings. What hap-pened? Liberty’s Jon Debogory was entered in the high jump and shot put simultaneously at a facility where the throwing area was about a half mile from the track. Coach Tolsma explains what happened next. “The high jump started later than scheduled and while participating, Debogory received a call from a teammate saying that he needed to be at the shot put as quickly as possible. He took his last jump and hopped in a car to head to the shot put. When he arrived, the official would not let him throw even though the finals had not yet started.” Since the con-ference had told Coach Tolsma prior to the meet that walkie-talkies were available and would be used for com-munication in such a situation, Tolsma

wrongly assumed that this situation could not be considered a violation of the honest effort rule, and Debogory ran on the 4 x 400 relay team. Three days later, the 4 x 400 team was dis-qualified and Liberty lost by one point. The Lady Flames turned in great performances at the Big South Indoor and Outdoor Championships, as they won by 11 points during indoors and nine points during the outdoor cham-pionships over a favored Coastal Caro-lina squad, extending their Big South outdoor string to a record 10 straight championships.

2004 The Liberty men’s team answered the Big South controversy of the previ-ous year by taking the indoor champi-onship by over 60 points and the out-door by nearly 50. The Lady Flames’ 10-year streak was ended by a strong Coastal Carolina team that bettered Liberty by 50 points indoors but then battled to a close 240-223 victory out-doors. Dani McNaney led the ladies, claiming her first ECAC title in the pen-tathlon while Chad Wilson led the men winning the IC4A long jump with an outstanding 25-6.75. Both represented Liberty at nationals.

Heather (Sagan) Zealand runs at the 2002 NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships, where she went on to win the national title in the mile.

2005 Senior, Dani McNaney, and junior, Kena Butts, gave the Lady Flames na-tional exposure while freshmen, Josh McDougal and Brandon Hoskins did the same for the men. McDougal (3,000 meters) and Hoskins (heptath-lon) became the first Liberty athletes to earn All America honors as fresh-men, while McNaney earned her sec-ond Academic All-America honor and Butts qualified for nationals in the high jump, both indoors and outdoors. Mc-Naney won all her multi-event compe-titions up to nationals. This included the ECAC pentathlon and heptathlon and the Penn Relays in a conference re-cord of 5,504 points. She placed 11th at both NCAA and USA nationals. The Liberty ladies stole the indoor confer-ence championship from Coastal, tak-ing victory by only 3.5 points. The men continued their string of indoor and outdoor conference championships and got IC4A champions in McDougal (3,000 meters indoors) and Hoskins (decathlon).

2006 Sophomore Josh McDougal en-joyed a banner year, becoming the first athlete in either Liberty or Big South Conference history to record a “triple crown” of All-America honors

in the same academic year. McDougal placed fourth in the NCAA National Cross Country Championship. He then took fourth at 5,000 meters and fifth at 3,000 meters at the national indoor meet before earning his fourth All-America distinction of the year with a ninth-place finish in the 5,000 meters at the outdoor championships. Also the IC4A 3,000-meter champion in-doors and the 10,000-meter champion outdoors, McDougal became the first Liberty male track and field athlete to win the Big South’s Howard Bag-well Male Student-Athlete of the Year award. McDougal helped the men’s indoor track and field team capture its ninth-consecutive Big South title. Brandon Hoskins also qualified for the NCAA National Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the decathlon. The Lady Flames finished second at both the indoor and outdoor confer-ence meets. Leading the way was ju-nior Arlene Zelinskas, who was named the Big South Indoor Track and Field Women’s Outstanding Track Performer of the Year, after winning the 60-me-ter hurdles and pentathlon and setting conference meet records in both disci-plines.

2007 2007 was a year of conference championships for the Liberty men’s team, as the Flames completed their first Big South “Triple Crown” since the 1999-2000 academic year, sweep-ing the cross country, indoor track and outdoor track team titles. The Big South indoor track crown was the 50th conference championship captured by the Liberty men’s and women’s cross country and track teams, since joining the Big South in 1991. The Flames also won their second IC4A outdoor title and first since 1996, led by an unprece-dented 1,500, 5K, 10K sweep by junior Josh McDougal. It was one of many noteworthy feats by McDougal during the year, as he added five more All-America certificates to his total (cross

country, indoor 3K and 5K, outdoor 5K and 10k). McDougal also ran a 3:57.46 mile and became the fifth-fastest col-legiate 5K runner of all-time, running a 13:20.43 at the Mt. SAC Relays. Brandon Hoskins garnered his second career All-America mention, taking seventh in the decathlon at the NCAA national meet. Juniors Jon Hart (ham-mer) and Clendon Henderson (discus) became the first two Liberty throwers ever to reach the national meet. On the women’s side, the Lady Flames won the Big South cross coun-try and outdoor track titles, both of which snapped Coastal Carolina’s streaks of conference championships. The squad was led by senior multi-event athlete Arlene Zelinskas, who received numerous honors. The co-Big South Women’s Track Performer of the Year indoors, she was tabbed Big South Woman of the Year and was an Academic All-American. Junior Carol Jefferson made her first national ap-pearance, running the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

2008 The Liberty men’s squad contin-ued its dominance of the Big South Conference in 2008, capturing an-other “Triple Crown” of conference titles in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track. The Flames also enjoyed another year of success in the IC4A, successfully defending their team championship outdoors and posting the highest indoor IC4A fin-ish in program history (second place). At the NCAA Division I East Regional Championships, the Flames finished seventh, representing Liberty’s high-est-ever regional placing. The Flames’ team success was spearheaded by a powerful senior class, led by Jon Hart, Clendon Henderson, Brandon Hoskins and Josh McDougal. McDougal posted the crowning achievement of his stel-lar four-year career on Nov. 19, 2007, when he won the NCAA Division I Na-

On the track, Jaime Watson broke Heather Sagan’s Liberty and Big South indoor 800-me-ter record with a 2:08.34. That effort helped Watson take the 800-meter title at the ECAC Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships, making her only the second Lady Flame ever to win an ECAC running event.

Tolsma IndoorTrack Center

The Tolsma Indoor Track Center, located within Lib-erty’s Campus North building, is a recent addition to the Flames’ track & field program. The facility, dedicated pri-or to the On Track Open meet on Jan. 28, 2006, is named for current Liberty head track & field/cross country coach Brant Tolsma. Tolsma is in his 23rd season at Liberty and has won 39 Big South Coach of the Year awards. The facility features a flat 200-meter oval with a Mondo surface. The track includes four lanes around the curves and an eight-lane straightaway. Also located in the complex are a pair of long jump/triple jump runways, a pole vault runway, a high jump apron and a throwing circle. It has seating for approximately 1,000 spectators. One of only five collegiate indoor track facilities in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Tolsma Indoor Track Center gets ample use each winter. Liberty hosts numer-ous collegiate and high school meets annually, including the Virginia Class AA state meet. A world record was set at one of the Tolsma Indoor Track Center’s first meets, the Liberty Last Chance on Feb. 18, 2006. Alisa Harvey ran the mile in 4:50.95 to set a world masters (age 40 and over) record.

The Matthes-Hopkins Track Complex, Liberty’s on-campus outdoor track & field facility, was completed in 1989, the first year the Flames competed at the NCAA Di-vision I level. Located adjacent to Williams Stadium, the complex is named for the founder of the Liberty track & field program, Jake Matthes, and Liberty’s first women’s track coach, Ron Hopkins. The facility includes an eight-lane, 400-meter poly-urethane track as well as four long jump/triple jump pits, three pole vault runways, a high jump apron, two jave-lin runways, two shot put rings and a new hammer/discus cage. Located on the hill overlooking the south end of the track, the hammer/discus throw-ing area was completed in time for the 2007 season. Six of the 16 Big South Men’s and Women’s Outdoor Track & Field Cham-pionships have been held at the Mat-thes-Hopkins Track Complex, includ-ing the inaugural event in 1994. The Flames and Lady Flames have swept the conference team titles all six times they have hosted the event, most re-cently in 2007. The facility also regu-larly plays host to high school champi-onship meets.

One of the most memorable moments in facility his-tory came on March 31, 2007, when Liberty’s own Josh McDougal ran a 3:57.46 mile, cracking the 4:00 barrier for the first time.
