UT Arlington Head Track and Field and Cross Country Coach John Sauerhage is fi rmly entrenched as one of the all-time most successful coaches in the Southland Conference as he enters his 16th year lead-ing the Mavericks.

Since taking over the program in 1996, Sauerhage has led the Maver-icks to 19 team championships and has won an unprecedented 19 SLC Coach of the Year honors.

Sauerhage continues that success today. Last year he helped three women – Jasmine Walls, Je-rono Patrober and Shannon Reynolds – to all-conference honors. He also guided 11 UTA athletes – Cordero Gray, Antonia Hopkins, Megan Turner, Lionel Mungwari, Re-nan Palma, Aundrea Williams, Isiah Clements and Wade Hayes, in addition to Walls, Patrober and Reynolds – to NCAA Preliminaries appear-ances.

In 2009, Sauerhage guided Gray and Walls to All-Amer-ican honors. Overall, he has coached 17 athletes to All-American honors.

Sauerhage has also coached on the international level. He served as the head coach of the El Salvadorian national team at the 2009 World Uni-versity Games in Belgrade, Serbia.

Since Sauerhage took over the program, UTA athletes have performed on the high-est levels of international competition. Four former athletes, including Jared Connaughton (for Canada in 2008), Takeshi Fujiwara (for El Salvador in 2004) and El-ston Cawley (for the United States in 1996) competed in the Olympics. Sauerhage has

also coached fi ve athletes who have earned trips to the IAAF World Championships.

In 2007, Sauerhage earned his biggest accolade, the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) named him the Division I Outdoor Track and Field Men’s South Central District Coach of the Year. He won the award after guiding the men’s team to its fi rst SLC outdoor team title in more than a decade with a one-point win over UTSA.

Sauerhage, a former UTA standout, returned to his alma mater in 1989 as an as-sistant coach for seven years as an assistant before taking the reins in Fall 1996.

As head coach, Sauerhage found success immediately, winning league champion-ships in women’s indoor, men’s indoor and men’s out-door track in each of his fi rst season and taking home Coach of the Year honors in each sport. For an encore, he led the Mavs to titles in men’s indoor and outdoor and women’s indoor track and cross country.

Finding an empty spot on Sauerhage’s mantle today is no easy task, but it might soon become imperative. He thinks his 2011 teams have an excellent chance to build on 2010 seasons that saw the men fi nish fourth and the women fi nish second.

In Year Three, Sauerhage accomplished something that had never been accom-plished in UTA history: He led the UTA women to the triple crown, winning the cross country, indoor and outdoor conference championships. Under Sauerhage’s tutelage,

THE SAUERHAGE FILE

the Maverick women accomplished the feat a second time in 2001.

The women’s indoor team claimed SLC titles in each of his fi rst six sea-sons. He was named SLC Women’s Indoor Track Coach of the Year each time in that stretch. He compiled 10 more conference titles from 1998-2001 – four in women’s outdoor, four in men’s indoor and two in men’s outdoor.

Sauerhage coached the men’s cross country team to a conference championship and the women’s cross country team to three confer-ence titles, including back-to-back titles in 2001-02. The Southland Conference has named him Cross Country Coach of the Year three times — once for men and twice for women’s teams.

Since 1989, Sauerhage has coached 10 athletes to individual confer-ence championships in cross country. UTA athletes have also won 73 SLC track titles in events ranging from the 800m to the 10000m, includ-ing nine in 1994. Dwight Robinson accomplished the feat in 2010.

Sauerhage’s program has succeeded off the track as well. In 2010, the USTFCCCA honored the women’s track programs as one of the top Di-

vision I academic units. Two athletes, Megan Turner and Brittany Culb-ertson, were recognized for their individual academic work.

Sauerhage began his collegiate career at Louisiana State University, where he placed sixth in the Southeastern Conference in the 1000-yard and mile distances before transferring to UTA. At Arlington High School, Sauerhage was a six-time state qualifi er, won the Class 5A mile in 1979 and ran a 4:10.6 in the mile.

As a member of the UTA track and fi eld team, Sauerhage won the SLC title in the mile and was a member of the school record-holding 6000-meter relay team. He ranks second in UTA history in the 1500m in both indoor and outdoor in the 1500m with times of 3:51.50 and 3:49.35, respectively.

Sauerhage graduated from UTA in 1986 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. He received a master’s degree in education from Louisiana-Monroe in 1988, as a graduate assistant coach.

An avid fan of the St. Louis Cardinals and fi rst baseman Albert Pujols, Sauerhage and his wife, Lisa, reside in Arlington.

BRANDON BERGERASSISTANT COACH // FIELD

5TH YEAR // UT ARLINGTON

Brandon Berger has coached Mavericks to South-land Conference championships fi ve times dur-ing his fi rst four years as the fi eld events specialist on UT Arlington’s coaching staff .

That run includes guiding Adolphus Jones to a dominant champi-onship in the heptathlon at the 2010 Southland Conference Indoor Championships. Jones won the event in spectacular fashion, breaking the program and conference records in the process while fi nishing no worse than sixth in any event.

Jones also fi nished second in the open high jump by clearing 2.06 me-ters and placed fourth in the open long jump.

Under Berger’s tutelage last season, Aundrea Williams won the 400m hurdles and Megan Turner and Renan Palma advanced to the NCAA Meet in the 400h and 110h, respectively.

Williams and Isiah Clements, who fi nished third in the high jump at the SLC Outdoor Championships, both advanced to the NCAA Champion-ships as well.

In all, Berger led nine athletes – Williams, Clements, Turner, Andrea Guerra, Jennifer Brown, Renan Palma, Lionel Mungwari, Keaton Mata and Ivan Storic – to score at the SLC Outdoor Championships. Six ath-letes – Brown, Palma, Clements, Mungwari, Jones and Eld-hah Kas-watuka – scored at the SLC Indoor Championships.

The accomplishments Berger racked up before last year have been plentiful as well. As a sophomore, Clements won the high jump at the 2009 SLC Outdoor Championship. Berger coached Clements to a season-best jump of 2.10 meters at the conference meet, helping him secure the top spot.

Berger led Andrew Duncan to fi ve top-three fi nishes in jumps events – including at least one in each of the high jump, long jump and triple jump. Duncan scored in eight jumps events from 2008-09. He also won the 2008 outdoor high jump championship with a jump of 2.15 meters. In 2008, Berger also coached Quinchun Carey to win the long jump at the SLC Outdoor Championships.

Berger immediately found success as an assistant coach. He helped Jon McDowell win the SLC Outdoor Championships in the 110m hurdles. McDowell and Coby Morrison, who placed well in the conference meet in the 400m hurdles, qualifi ed for the national meet that year. McDow-ell, under Berger’s mentoring, earned All-American honors by placing in the national meet.

Berger’s background certainly helped prepare himself for his coaching career by wearing many diff erence hats during his collegiate career. While at UT Arlington (from 1996-99), Berger competed in the decath-lon and hurdles.

During his career, Berger posted four top-10 fi nishes in the Southland Conference Outdoor Championships in the decathlon. He claimed fourth in the decathlon as a junior with 6,495 points and was fi fth in the conference with 6,546 points as a sophomore in 1997. Berger’s 6,546 points ranks fi fth on the all-time decathlon list.

During the indoor seasons, Berger competed in the 55-meter hurdles. His personal-best time came at the SLC Indoor Championships in 1998 when he clocked a 7.81.

Berger is in his second stint as a coach with the track program. In 2000, he was a student assistant where he coached multi-event and fi eld event athletes and also helped coordinate travel.

Berger served as assistant events manager at Maverick Stadium from 2001 to 2007. A graduate of UT Arlington with a bachelor of science degree in biology in 2000, Berger is married to Mishael Bertrand-Berger.

JORDAN DURHAMASSISTANT COACH // SPRINTS

2ND YEAR // ARIZONA STATE

Jordan Durham took no time in making her mark on the UT Arlington program.

In just one year, the Mavericks’ sprints coach helped All-Americans Cordero Gray and Jasmine

Walls reach new heights by recording personal bests. She also guided Shannon Reynolds to Southland Conference Freshman of the Year honors in both the indoor and outdoor seasons.

Durham coached Walls and Reynolds to fi nish fi rst and second in the 100m and the 200m at the Southland Conference Outdoor Champi-onships.

Antonia Hopkins won the 400m as well, giving the Mavericks a clean sweep of the sprints events. DeAndrea Smith also scored in the 400m by placing sixth, giving UTA six scorers in three women’s sprints events.

Durham also worked with the short-distance relay teams, where the women placed second in the 4x100 and won the 4x400 at the SLC Outdoor Championships. She also guided the men’s 4x100 relay team to a conference title.

On the men’s side, Durham helped Gray set a personal-best time of 10.16 in the 100m at the SLC Outdoor Championships. Gray fi nished third in the 100m and the 200m. Lionel Mungwari also scored in the 100m and 200m as a freshman and Renan Palma, another freshman, scored in the 200m. Juan Lewis also scored at the conference meet as well, placing fourth in the 400m.

At the SLC Indoor Championships, Durham helped lead Walls to wins in the 60m and the 200m. Hopkins took second in the 200m and Reyn-olds scored in both events. Hopkins also won the 400m, leading four Mavs who scored in the event – Smith placed second, Megan Turner fi nished fi fth and Brittany Culbertson placed sixth.

The 4x440-yard relay team also placed second at the indoor meet.

Durham’s coaching led to success on the men’s side as well. Gray placed second in the 60m and Juan Lewis scored in the 200m and the 400m.

In all, nine sprinters made appearances in the NCAA Preliminaries. Two – Gray and Walls – advanced to the NCAA Championships.

Durham became a full-time member of the coaching staff prior to the start of the 2010 season after serving as a graduate assistant at UT Ar-lington during the 2008-09 season. She assisted in the development of All-American sprinters Gray and Walls that year.

A three-time All-American at Arizona State, Durham was a member of the Sun Devils’ 2007 indoor and outdoor and 2008 indoor national championship teams.

She participated in the relays and sprints for the Sun Devils and was a member of the team’s 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams. In 2008 during the Pac 10 season, she fi nished third in the 400m fi nal with a time of 53.64 and ran third leg on the school’s winning 4x400m relay team.

Durham helped lead ASU’s 4x400m relay to a third place fi nish at the

2008 NCAA Indoor meet and a fi fth place fi nish at the 2008 Outdoor meet.

During the 2007 season she earned All-America honors in the 4x400m relay as the team ran 3:35.96 and place eighth at the NCAA Champion-ships. That same squad won the Pac-10 title (3:33.14) and was second in the West Region.

She began her career at ASU in 2006 after spending her freshman sea-son at TCU.

A 2004 graduate of Kennedale High School in Kennedale, Texas, Dur-ham was selected as the team’s MVP all four years of competition. She helped lead the track team to a state title as a senior. She also was also a two-time all-district volleyball selection and captained both teams as a senior.

She majored in psychology and sociology at Arizona State. She was born on August 28, 1986 in San Angelo, Texas.

GERALD RICHEYASSISTANT COACH // POLE VAULT

15TH YEAR // ABILENE CHRISTIAN

Entering his 15th year as assistant coach at UT Arlington, Gerald Richey continues his work with the pole vaulters. A graduate of Abilene Christian University, he has been on the sidelines of vari-ous track and fi eld meets since 1958, including 27

years at Arlington High School from 1968-1995.

Last year, Richey helped guide Wade Hayes to a second-place fi nish in the Southland Conference Championship in the pole vault. That ended a stretch during which Hayes won fi ve SLC titles in the pole vault in indoor and outdoor track.

Richey also helped pole vaulters Lauren Marks, Samantha Nash and Chris Machisak score in various SLC Championships over the past two years.

Over the course of 37 years, Richey has coached football, cross country and track. During that time, he coached three future All-Pro football players, two state champion cross country teams, two state runner-up cross country teams, a regional championship cross country team, 18 district champion cross country teams, seven district champion track teams and many individual state meet qualifi ers and champions.

In October of 1999, the city of Arlington recognized Richey’s accom-plishments by naming the cross country course at Vandergriff Park in his honor.

WADE HAYESASSISTANT COACH

CAROLINE ERLINGSONDIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS


Caroline Erlingson saw her collegiate career come to a close in 2010 but remains with the team this season as a graduate assistant. During her stellar career, Erlingson specialized in distance events and will do the same as a fi rst-year coach.

It didn’t take long for Erlingson to make an impact on the UT Arlington program. As a true freshman, she earned All-Southland Conference honors by fi nishing eighth at the Southland Conference Cross Country Championships.

Injuries slowed Erlingson’s momentum, forcing her to take a medical redshirt in indoor and outdoor track in 2007.

She bounced back to fi nish 11th at the Southland Conference Cross Country Championships in 2008 and continue for a nice track career.

In the 2008 indoor track season, Erlingson placed in the mile run. She went on to score points four times. Her best fi nishes came at the 2009 Southland Conference Outdoor Championships, where she placed third in the 1500m, and the Southland Conference 2009 Indoor Cham-pionships, where she earned a third-place fi nish in the mile run.

Erlingson placed seventh at the Southland Conference Indoor Cham-pionships in the mile run during the indoor season as a senior, scoring two points for the Mavericks.

Off the track, Erlingson excelled in the classroom as a three-time Capi-tal One/Southland Conference Commissioner’s Spring Academic Hon-or Roll recipient.

Erlingson is a native of Angelholm, Sweden. She majored in Biochem-istry at UT Arlington.

JARID VAUGHANASSISTANT COACH


Incoming sprinters won’t have to think back too far to remember the successes of new assistant coach Jarid Vaughan.

The former UT Arlington standout fi nished his stellar career as a multiple-time point-scorer in the Southland Conference Championships. Vaughan won an individual championship at the 2009 SLC Outdoor Champion-ships in the 200m. He also placed second in the 100m behind current UTA standout Cordero Gray.

Vaughan also fi nished second in the 100m at the Texas Relays in 2009 and had a chance to compete nationally before suff ering a major injury at the end of the season.

Overall, Vaughan scored seven times in individual events and numerous times as a part of relay teams.

In 2010, Vaughan took his talents to the national level when he placed third in the 200m at the Canadian National Championships.

Earlier in his career, Vaughan was named to Team British Columbia for the Canadian Games.

A 2010 graduate, Vaughan majored in kinesiology.

John Sauerhage did not have to look far for inspiration for his men’s track and fi eld team entering his 16th year as head coach at UT Arlington.

An avid baseball fan, Sauerhage adopted the motto the Texas Rangers employed on their way to the 2010 World Series as his own.

“It’s time,” Sauerhage said. “This team dominated the conference in the ’90s. We have gotten ourselves back the last three or four years to where our men’s team is contending now for championships. It’s time to get back to our rightful place on the top. We know it won’t be easy. We know that UTSA is the defending champion, indoors and out, but we are ready to challenge them for the conference championship and we’re looking forward to it.

“We’re loaded on the men. It’s just got to work,” he added.

The Mavericks fi nished fourth in the Southland Conference Outdoor Championships last year. Still, the return of several key performers, in addition to numerous important newcomers, have Sauerhage and the rest of the team thinking the 2011 season will be special.

Sprinter Cordero Gray, middle-distance runner Dwight Robinson and high jumper Isiah Clements already have SLC indoor championships to their credit. Robinson won the indoor and outdoor titles in the 800m in 2010.

Freshmen Jeff Rodriguez and Romain Martin are expected to compete for individual titles in the pole vault and decathlon, respectively.

With the depth to also contend for conference relay championships, UTA is eyeing its fi rst championship since 2007.

“On paper, this team has a chance to be one of the best we’ve ever had,” Sauerhage said. “That’s quite a statement because we’ve had some out-standing teams.”

Sprints should be a strong point for the Mavericks this season.

Gray anchors the group and has qualifi ed for the NCAA Regional meet each of the past two seasons, but slipped to third in the conference in the 100m and 200m last year after winning the events in 2009. Gray is now looking to regain the crown as the conference’s premier sprinter while also setting his sights on new personal-best times in the 100m and the 200m. Sprints coach Jordan Durham thinks Gray can break the 10.0-barrier in the 100m.

“Because Cordero is so talented and because he has such a great work ethic, it would be a personal disappointment if he doesn’t compete na-tionally,” Durham said. “He ran 10.16 – the seventh-fastest time in the nation. With him, the sky is the limit. He wants to be on the USA team at the end of June. We want him to be in the top eight nationally after the conference meet, coming back with an all-American title.”

Though Gray headlines the sprints, the team has plenty of talent. Lionel Mungwari made a splash as a true freshman, scoring in the 100m, 200m and long jump. He was also part of the 4x100 relay team that advanced to the NCAA Regionals.

“We feel like with a fall with him and a whole year of training, he has the potential to be a 25-foot long jumper and a 10.2-10.3 sprinter,” Sauer-hage said.

Meeting those marks would elevate Mungwari into the conference’s elite status.

In the longer sprints, Juan Lewis and Andrew Pettis are capable of scor-ing in the SLC Championships. The key this year is turning potential into results.

Depending on where coaches think Pettis can score best in the confer-ence meets, he could also be used in the 100m and 200m.

Clayton Vaughn and Joseph Williams join the program after strong high school careers. Vaughn is expected to immediately contribute in the 100m and 200m or could be an option in the 400m.

“He was one of those guys in high school that really didn’t get many opportunities to run open races because relays are 20 points and open races are 10 points,” Durham said. “He had an awesome junior year and pulled his hamstring in his senior year. Now he’s back to looking awe-some. As long as he stays mentally tough, I think he will be an immedi-ate help. We’re looking for Clayton to score at conference.”

Williams should help as a member of the 4x400 relay team with a chance to compete individually.

With so much talent and depth, both relay teams have reasonable chances to compete for SLC championships. The 4x100 relay team, led by Gray, should be a favorite to again qualify for the national prelimi-nary meet.

Any momentum the team can create in sprints should be maintained by the fi eld events.

Clements, a two-time national qualifi er in the high jump, highlights the group. He can also help on relay teams and was part of the 4x400 re-lay team that won the Southland Conference Indoor Championships in 2009.

Martin should also help in the high jump, giv-ing the Mavericks two potential high-point scorers in the event. He will also compete – and is expected to score – in javelin. His main contribution will come in the multiple events, though. Martin scored 7,293 points in a U23 international competi-tion over the summer.

“I see him being a na-tional qualifi er indoor and outdoor in the hep-tathlon and the decath-lon as a freshman,” fi eld coach Brandon Berger said. “It’s never set in stone, but he has po-tential to be a national qualifi er right away.”

Mungwari has already proven himself at the conference level after fi nishing fi fth in the

long jump last season. He also helps in the triple jump.

Gabe Hilliard and Brandon Waller, a transfer from Midwestern State’s football program, could also contribute in the jumps.

Ivan Storic and freshman Branko Petrovic should both compete at the top of the league in throws events. Storic specializes in the javelin and fi nished fourth in the Southland Conference Championships a year ago. Petrovic, a friend of Storic’s from Belgrade, Serbia, is expected to immediately compete among the SLC elite in shot put. He could also compete in discus.

Another newcomer, Casey Keeter, should score in shot put and discus after transferring in from Tarleton State.

The plethora of potential point-scorers in throwing events gives UT Ar-lington a chance to make up ground it previously conceded.

“UTSA and SFA are going to argue that they have good throwers too, but that was an event that SFA would score multiple points in unchal-lenged,” Sauerhage said. “UTSA was in the top throwers. Now we can go toe-to-toe with them for points in the throwing events as opposed to in the past when we basically watched them move past us in the stand-ings in the events. That’s very reassuring when you’re putting together a team to try to win the league championship.”

The Mavericks lose fi ve-time SLC pole vault champion Wade Hayes, but insert redshirt freshman Jeff Rodriguez in his place. Rodriguez compet-ed in several events as an unattached individual last year and outscored Hayes at times, including when he posted a personal-best 17-2 vault.

“I don’t see why he can’t be a national qualifi er,” Berger said. “Conference champ shouldn’t be an issue for him. Both school records will probably be broken by him this year. He should be conference champion indoors and out.”

Chris Machisak has proven himself as a point-scorer in the SLC meets and freshman Andrew Piatt could add more depth for the Mavs. With those two in addition to Rodriguez, UT Arlington could have three point-scorers in the pole vault.

In hurdles, Renan Palma gives UTA a major presence. Palma qualifi ed for the national meet last year after fi nishing fourth in the SLC Outdoor Championships in the 110m hurdles.

Freshman Jonathan Todd should be among the fi rst to get a shot in the 400m hurdles. Berger said he thinks Todd could contend as a point-scorer in the event.

If there is a question mark on the men’s side, it comes in the distance events. How well this team fares in the SLC competitions might hinge on whether or not a distance runner steps up into a prominent position within the league.

“We’ve got a lot of numbers in distance,” said Sauerhage, who works closest with the distance runners. “A lot of them are unproven but a lot of them have the potential to run faster times and maybe break into the point-scoring that way. It’s all about trying to win the conference meet, indoor and out, and putting together a formula and what we do with these guys is part of the plan.”

Robinson is one of the few known quantities.

After winning the 800m in both the SLC Indoor and SLC Outdoor Cham-pionships, the only question is can he stay healthy enough to repeat.

Senior Darren Rous gives the Mavs another potential competitor in the top three if he returns to the form he showed as a sophomore. Rous struggled last year but fi nished third in the SLC Outdoor Champion-ships in the 800m two years ago.

Anthony Rene placed seventh in the SLC Outdoor Championships in the 800m last year and could give UTA another point-scorer in the event.

The longer distance events are up for grabs in terms of who will com-pete and in what event.

An infusion of newcomers, led by freshman Anthony Hilliman, should bolster the group. Veterans Zach Zura, Heinz Schwarzkopf, Eric Mon-tou, Anthony Groom and Kevin Vasquez will also get opportunities to qualify for the conference meets.

Widener, coming off a strong cross country season, fi nished 10th in the 10000m last year. Sauerhage expects Widener to score points in the event this year as well as the 5000m.

“We’ve got depth on the men’s side and we’re just hoping we have some talent,” Sauerhage said. “We know we have some talent on the men’s side. When we’ve won the conference meet in the years past, we’ve scored a lot of points in the distance events. To win the meet without the distance points is diffi cult.”

Sauerhage said he believes this is the time UT Arlington again climbs to the top of the Southland Conference.

With strong repeat performances and some key newcomers meeting expectations, the Mavericks could prove Sauerhage right.

Over his 17 years coaching the UT Arlington women’s program, UTA head coach John Sauerhage has prided himself on reloading rather than rebuilding.

That proving ground presents itself again in the 2011 season.

The Mavericks lost Jasmine Walls and Antonia Hopkins. That duo col-lectively won the 100m, 200m and 400m at the Southland Conference Outdoor Championships last season.

Winning the SLC title will be diffi cult considering all the talent the team must replace, but Sauerhage thinks his team can give defending champ Stephen F. Austin a strong push.

“We were runner-up last year in indoor and outdoor with the women,” Sauerhage said. “We feel like that would be a mild disappointment if we repeated as runners-up. We’ve got to challenge SFA. It’s time to break through.”

The youth movement is in full force and, for UT Arlington, that’s not a bad thing.

Shannon Reynolds returns after being named Indoor and Outdoor SLC Freshman of the Year. She qualifi ed for the NCAA West Region Prelimi-naries in the 100m and the 200m last season after fi nishing third and second in the SLC Outdoor Championships a year ago. With Walls gone now, Reynolds is a favorite to win both events.

Even before Emily Koenig competes in her fi rst collegiate track and fi eld meet she is already a proven commodity. Koenig became the fi rst run-ner in SLC history to win Freshman of the Year and Athlete of the Year in the same cross country season. She won the SLC meet, giving Sauer-hage high expectations for his freshman in the 10000m and the 5000m in track this year.

“What she’s been able to do as a freshman is just remarkable,” Sauerhage said. “The best part is, the longer the race goes the better she gets.”

Sprints coach Jordan Durham said she thinks Pam Vinson and Brianna Baldwin have the potential to give UT Arlington a repeat in the Fresh-man of the Year slot.

Vinson will compete in the 100m and the 200m. Baldwin should con-tend for the 400m title.

“Breonna ran a 55 outdoor, which is faster than any people we have re-turning in the 400m,” Durham said. “We’re looking for her to score high in the Southland Conference meet. We’re looking for her to do very well and Pam to be there to be right there behind Shannon. I want her to score very well in the 60m and the 200m. I can’t see any freshman com-ing in and doing anything better than that. There’s a good possibility that Pam might be on the 4x400 because she’s so strong. We can put her anywhere.”

Brittany Culbertson and DeAndrea Smith give the Mavericks the po-tential for multiple point-scorers in virtually every sprinting event. Both athletes scored in the 400m at the SLC Outdoor Championships last year.

Dorrie Thompson is also back after sitting out last year. She is a versatile sprinter capable of helping in two or more of the events.

“We’re very confi dent about our women’s dominance in the sprints,” Sauerhage said. “We have not taken a hit to graduation. We’ve reloaded

in sprints.”The sprint relay teams are loaded as well. The 4x400 relay team advanced to the fi rst round of the NCAA Tour-nament last year and returns key components from the group, including Culbertson and Megan Turner.

Despite losing Walls, the 4x100 relay should be strong again as well. Reynolds, Vinson and Culbertson will headline the group that fi n-ished second last season and aims to claim the top spot at the 2011 Southland Confer-ence Outdoor Champion-ships.

Koenig certainly points the Mavs in the right direction in the distance events as well with real opportunities to win the 5000m as well as the 10000m.

Esther Abuto fi nished sec-ond in the 800m and should be a strong challenger for the conference title again in 2011.

Distance runners Amanda McMahon, Jennifer Carey and Perri Ford have all proven themselves capable of scoring points at the SLC Champion-ships.

McMahon has scored in conference meets nine times in her career. She has competed in several events, but specializes in the 1500m and the mile.

Ford and Carey give the Mavericks two more point-scorers in the 800m. Carey could help in the 1500m as well.

Marissa Paz and Lindsey Putman provide more depth in the distance events.

The biggest diff erence between this year and last could come on the fi eld side of the meets. Field coach Brandon Berger has more to work with this season thanks to some key additions. He also brings back some talented, proven athletes, led by Turner.

As a junior last year, Turner fi nished third in the SLC Outdoor Cham-pionships in the 400m hurdles, qualifying for the NCAA West Regional Preliminaries in the process.

She is the program-record holder in the 600m hurdles. Sauerhage said she might also get a look in the 100m hurdles if nobody else seizes the spot.

A new addition, however, should come in and make an immediate im-pact. Destinee Nixon transferred into UT Arlington having spent the last three years at Abilene Christian University.

Nixon, a senior, is a fi ve-time All-American. She struggled with injuries

in the last two seasons but is healthy now and said she should return to the level of competition that allowed her to score in fi ve events in the Lonestar Conference Championships as a freshman.

Nixon specializes in short hurdles, an area in which the the Mavericks need help. She can also run the 400m hurdles and triple jump, giving UT Arlington an opportunity to score in all three events. Nixon has also helped in sprints and on sprint relay teams.

Sydney Johnson and Brookeana Witt will also compete in the hurdles events.

Throws have proven prob-lematic for UT Arlington re-cently. Freshman Samantha Little gives the team its best chance to score points.

“Samantha Little is a fresh-man and she will be a proj-ect,” Berger said. “I think with a little work she could help us out in the discus. Shot put may take a little bit more time but with some adjust-ments she should be able to help us out in both throws.”

Brookeana Witt and Raquel Kilgore are expected to compete in the heptathlon. The Mavs are hopeful one of them can score points in the event.

Pole vaulters Samantha Nash and Lauren Marks have both scored in SLC meets. If they become more consistent, the Mavs could have two point-scorers in the event.

The biggest hope on the fi eld events comes from the jumps.

UTA added Marniqua Johnson and Courtney Blacknall. Both are ex-pected to compete to score points in the high jump.

“They should both be top-fi ve and might be top-three,” Berger said. “We could go from zero points to double-digit points in that.”

Johnson is expected to compete in the long jump and the triple jump in addition to the high jump as well.

Jennifer Brown and Eld-hah Kaswatuka have scored in the triple jump in the past and could do so again this season.

Sauerhage’s team has enjoyed off -the-track success as well.

In 2010, UT Arlington women’s track program was one of 151 institu-tions to be named to the USTFCCCA Division I All-Academic Track and Field teams.

More than 20 student-athletes on the women’s team registered a GPA above 3.0 while the team combined for a 3.16 overall GPA through the winter 2010 term.

Individually, Turner and Culbertson were also recognized by the UST-FCCCA. Both were selected to the 2010 USTFCCCA All-Academic Track and Field Team.

Turner fi nished the season with a 3.42 GPA in fi nance while Culbertson wrapped up her junior year with a 3.88 GPA in kinesiology.

In order to receive the distinction, an institution must have a cumula-tive team GPA of 3.0 or better.

Now the team hopes to duplicate its classroom success while taking the next step in the conference.

Sauerhage is confi dent his team will not fall back in terms of overall tal-ent level. Whether his team can continue to compete at the same level, however, will depend on how quickly some of the fresh faces can adapt to collegiate competition.

OLYMPIC AND INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS

UTA ATHLETE JARED CONNAUGHTON HELPS HIS NATIVE CANADA TO

FINALS OF 4X100 RELAY AT BEIJING OLYMPICS

At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, former UTA standout Jared Connaughton helped his native Canada reach the fi nals of the 4x100 relay. He helped his team fi nish second in their prelimi-nary heat and the team fi nished sixth in the fi nals with a time of 38.66 which was a season best. Connaughton also made the semifi nals of the 200 meters. No stranger to internation-al competition, Connaughton also competed at the 2007 World Championships in Japan.

Connaughton was an 11-time all-Southland Conference performer from 2005-07 and holds the school indoor record with a time of 6.68 in the 60-meter dash. He was named the SLC Athlete of the Year and the Outstanding Track Performer during the 2006 outdoor season.

Connaughton closed out his UTA career by capturing the SLC Outdoor 200-meter champi-onship with a time of 20.76 and leading the team to its fi rst outdoor conference champi-onship since 1997. He also teamed with Byron Majors, Coby Morrison and Adam Newton on the 4x100-meter relay team that advanced to the NCAA Championships with a time of 39.65, the third fastest in school history.

RIGHT: A closer look of the newly renovated locker rooms. Track and fi eld, baseball and softball all had their locker rooms renovated this year, including new lockers.

BELOW: A closer look at the new wooden lockers found in each of the three locker rooms, complete with built-in locks, UTA logos and individualized name plates for the athletes.

UT Arlington made a commitment to upgrading its

facilities this winter when the department of ath-

letics and the university and its president, James

D. Spaniolo, authorized renovation of the locker

rooms for track and fi eld, baseball and softball.

The renovations included an overhaul of the old

facilities. The locker rooms are now fully carpeted

with all of the walls now repainted.

The locker room also features brand new custom-

ized wooden lockers that allow each athlete to sit

in their locker space. The lockers include a combi-

nation lock and a personalized name plate.

The renovations fall in line with a recent study,

which said the department’s top priorities should

be taking care of the sports already in existence at

UT Arlington.

When Emily Koenig arrived on campus, she did so with high expectations.

By the end of the 2010 cross country season, UT Arlington coach John Sauerhage said the true freshman had surpassed them all.

Koenig won the Southland Conference Cross Country Championships, helping the women fi nish fourth. With the victory, Koenig was named SLC Female Athlete of the Year as well as SLC Freshman of the Year, becoming the fi rst cross country in SLC history to win both awards in the same season.

“I expected a lot from Emily when she got here,” Sauerhage said. “She has already exceeded all expectations. If she stays on her current pace, she could become one of the, if not the, best distance runner in UT Arlington history, which is really saying something. I really think she could break the school records in the 5000m and 10000m as early as this season.”

Sauerhage’s optimism comes with plenty of justifi cation.

Koenig won her fi rst collegiate meet by run-ning the 4k track at the Midwestern State Invi-tational with a time of 14:31.88 and went on to win three of her fi rst four meets.

The Temple native guided the Mavericks to a team title at the McNeese State Cowboy Stam-pede. Koenig completed the course in 17:40.62 to claim the individual title as well as the team title for UT Arlington.

She clocked a team-best time in all seven events, including the NCAA South Central Re-gional, where she placed 21st with a time of 21:18.60 in the 10k.

Though Koenig stole most of the spotlight, senior Amanda McMahon capped a stellar ca-reer by fi nishing as the team runner-up in fi ve of the seven meets.

McMahon’s best fi nish came at the Midwest-ern State Invitational, where she placed fourth with a time of 14:52.08.

McMahon had three top-10 fi nishes, placing

sixth at the McNeese State Cowboy Stampede and eighth at the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Is-lander Splash.

Jennifer Carey overcame a slow start to earn a top-10 fi nish (seventh at the McNeese State Cowboy Stampede) and placed second among Mavericks at the SLC Cross Country Champion-ships, behind just Koenig.

The men did not enjoy the same success as the women during the 2010 season, fi nishing seventh at the SLC Cross Country Champion-ships.

Cody Widener and Heinz Schwarzkopf battled for the top spot all season. Widener earned the team’s best fi nish four times with a top-10 showing at the McNeese State Cowboy Clas-sic, where he fi nished ninth. He also had UTA’s best time at the SLC Cross Country Champion-ships.

Schwarzkopf bettered Widener twice, includ-ing a team-best performance at the Midwest-ern State Invitational, where he fi nished 15th.

FIELDTURF

UT Arlington selected FieldTurf for installation at Maverick Stadium, the home of the school’s men’s and women’s track teams, and one of the most utilized track-and-fi eld facilities in the Southwest. The announcement was made by Maverick Sta-dium Manager Tom Kloza and FieldTurf CEO Joe Fields.

The installation will commence this July and will be in place for the Mavericks’ 2009 fall track season. FieldTurf will be replac-ing the facility’s previous ten-year old artifi cial turf.

“We are very pleased with our decision to install FieldTurf at Maverick Stadium,” Stadium Manager Tom Kloza said. “When we researched this issue, without question, FieldTurf was the most stable of all of the artifi cial turf companies. The technological aspects of FieldTurf , with the way they do things, were far in advance of their competitors. The playability of FieldTurf is so far ahead of the others that this was really an easy decision.”

“I am excited that Field Turf will be installed in Mavericks Sta-dium,” UTA Men’s and Women’s Head Track Coach John Sauer-hage said. “It will be a great addition to our facility and will help in our recruiting eff orts now and in the future. Our athletes are already looking forward to working out on it.”

“Although FieldTurf is primarily known as a football surface, our track-and-fi eld product is the fi nest in the industry,” Fields said. “With all of the track-and-fi eld events hosted by Maverick Stadium, not just through the Texas Arlington men’s and wom-en’s track teams, but also at the high school and track club levels, this installation will provide great exposure for our outstanding product. We know that Tom Kloza and the folks at UTA did their due diligence in selecting FieldTurf, and it is our aim to provide

them with the fi nest state-of-the-art track surface available.”

Maverick Stadium opened in 1980 and has a seating capacity of 12,000. It is not only the home of UTA men’s and women’s track, but it is also one of the busiest high school sports facilities in the Southwest. In addition to hosting a steady stream of high school foot-ball and soccer, Maverick is considered one of the fi nest track-and-fi eld facilities in the re-gion. The stadium is the home to numerous track-and-fi eld competitions and camps.

More than 50 top NCAA universities cur-rently play their home football games on FieldTurf, including Texas, Texas Tech, Ne-braska, Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin, Il-linois, West Virginia, Washington, Oregon, Missouri, Syracuse and Louisville. Twenty-one of the NFL’s 32 teams presently utilize FieldTurf in their stadiums and/or practice facilities. In addition, MLB’s Tampa Bay Rays, Minnesota Twins and Toronto Blue Jays have FieldTurf at their respective stadiums.

With more than 3,000 installations in almost 50 countries, FieldTurf Tarkett is the largest entity in the sports surfacing industry and provides unparalleled leasing capabilities, engi-neering and manufacturing resources. In addition to its world-renowned FieldTurf and Prestige brands of artifi cial turf, Field-Turf Tarkett provides an equally impressive range of products that includes synthetic and hardwood basketball, volleyball and gymnasium fl ooring, squash and racquetball courts, fl oor pro-tection and covering systems and weight room fl ooring. Also in the range of FieldTurf Tarkett products are indoor and outdoor running tracks, including the high performance ‘Le Monde’ track system, playground surfacing and a complete range of tennis and golf surfaces.

InfillSimilarly sized particlesof washed silica sandand rounded cryogenic rubber infill hold eachother in suspension,compress and expand toprovide stability, long liferesiliency and properenergy restitution.

BackingThe backing is made of a

combination of permeable woven andnon-woven polypropylene fabrics to

provide exceptional strength andunmatched vertical drainage.

FiberA durable “spine” runs vertically through the center of each fiber providing unmatched“memory” and resistance to matting. Far more resistant to UV and foot traffic it standsup to over 35,000 cycles of testing and remains silky and non-abrasive.

THE SYSTEMFiberThe arched profile of this monofilament fiber is based on similar structuresfound in nature. Extruded through a spinnerette it is a “true” monofilamentfiber that delivers unmatched durability, especially resistance to wear. Testsindicate that although this fiber is far more durable, it remains silky and lush,just like nature intended. The monofilament system is available in over 20colors.

InfillThe washed silica sand does not break down from use or heavy traffic. Thecryogenic rubber is recycled rubber, frozen and shattered, creating smooth-sided spherical particles. As compared to 3 pounds of ambient rubber found inmost other artificial turf, each square foot of FieldTurf contains 7 pounds ofsilica sand plus 3 pounds of cryogenic rubber. A base layer of silica sand isfollowed by up to 21 individual layers of mixed silica sand and cryogenicrubber and then topped with a final layer of specially graded cryogenic rubberwhich stays on the top of the infill system.

BackingThe fibers are tufted (stitched) into the backing material in rows according to apatented wide gauge spacing formula that enables cleats to penetrate the infillmaterial rather than the surface fiber. This provides excellent traction and verylow torsion resistance that prevents injuries. A patented “finger unit” adds animpermeable coating over the back of each row of stitching, creating achemical and mechanical bond, sealing the fibers to the backing, leaving therest of the backing material totally permeable and creating rows of superiordrainage channels.

Hailed as the ideal person to lead The University of Texas at Arlington into a new era of prominence, James D. Spaniolo was appointed the University’s sev-enth president in November 2003 by

The University of Texas System Board of Regents. He took offi ce in February 2004 and immediately began building an adminis-trative team and reaching out to stake-holders to map a course for UT Arling-ton’s future as a major national research university. Among his major accomplish-ments are growing the size and prestige of both the student body and the faculty, implementing the campus master plan (including the new Special Events Center, set to open in late 2011), and taking re-search activity at UT Arlington to record heights. President Spaniolo’s experience in higher education, law, philanthropy, politics and journalism make him uniquely qualifi ed to lead a comprehensive teaching, re-search and public service institution like UT Arlington. With an enrollment of more than 29,000 students, UT Arlington is the second-largest of the 15 institutions in The UT System and off ers 90 baccalaure-ate, 74 master’s and 34 doctoral degrees. And with a continued focus on technol-ogy transfer and economic development, UT Arlington is solidifying its status as a leading research university in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the state and the nation. Before coming to UT Arlington, President Spaniolo was dean of Michigan State University’s College of Communication Arts and Sciences. As dean from 1996 to 2003, he oversaw an enrollment increase of more than 1,000 students and helped establish the James H. and Mary B. Quello Center for Telecommunication Manage-ment and Law by raising more than $3.5 million. He forged a partnership with a newspaper corporation in Mexico and strengthened alumni outreach. He was also a professor in the School of Jour-

The fi fth Director of Intercollegiate Athlet-ics at UT Arlington since 1953, Pete Carlon is in his 15th year as the depart-ment’s director after serving twice in an interim role.

Carlon has been with the university 30 years

(since 1981), when he came to UT Arlington from Stephen F. Austin to become the head athletics trainer. He served as assistant or associate athletics director from 1984 until he was named director of athletics in May of 1996.

During Carlon’s fi rst tenure as interim athletics director in 1991-92, UT Arlington won fi ve team conference titles and was ranked by the Women’s Sports Foundation as the second best Division I program in the nation in terms of commitment to gender equity.

During the 1996-97 year, in Carlon’s fi rst year as the permanent athletics director, the Mav-ericks claimed both the men’s and women’s Southland Conference All-Sports trophies, a fi rst in the history of the UT Arlington athletics program.

Hornets, Junior Aggies, Blue Riders and Reb-els among long list of mascot names

An aardvark as UTA’s mascot? It could’ve hap-pened. The story begins more than 80 years ago.

From 1917, when it joined the Texas A&M System, to 1921, the school’s athletic teams answered to Grubbers or the school’s name, Grubbs Vocational College) and Shorthorns (after the campus newspaper, The Shorthorn).

Grubbers just wasn’t destined to last, and many didn’t like Shorthorns because that’s what freshman teams at the school’s hated rival, The University of Texas at Austin, were called.

A Shorthorn editorial Nov. 12, 1921, liked Hor-nets the idea of the ‘Horn’ and the ‘Sting’ too.”

So Hornets it was—but not for long. When the school changed to North Texas Agricultural College in 1923, the yearbook that appeared in the spring was called the Junior Aggie. This set in motion a gradual shift over the years from Hornets to Junior Aggies.

In 1949, when the school became Arling-

ton State College, the nickname was offi cially changed to Blue Riders. According to an Aug. 25, 1949, article in the Tarrant County Citizen, “It was felt that the name would be appropriate with the school colors (blue and white), and would allow artists an opportunity to sketch attractive designs for team uniforms.”

Except Blue Riders never caught on, either. In 1951, President E.H. Hereford called a meeting of as many sophomores as he could fi nd and asked them to suggest yet another mascot.

Rebels subsequently won a student vote, and the fi ght song Dixie and mascot Johnny Red became intricate parts of the theme and continued as ASC became a four-year school in 1959. The theme was never seriously questioned until spring 1965 when some argued that Rebels depicted a symbol of slavery. Others maintained that it represented Southern heritage.

Several votes for name changes were held over the next six years, including one in 1968 (one year after the school became The Univer-

sity of Texas at Arlington) when Aardvarks was the top vote-getter behind Rebels. In February 1970, with Rebels not being one of the choices, Texans won out over Mavericks and Apollos, but Mavericks prevailed in a runoff .

The battle still wasn’t over as students forced a referendum a month later, and the Old South theme prevailed again. UTA President Frank Har-rison pleaded with students to make a change.

In May 1971, one more vote was held. Again, students could vote for any name they chose, as long as it wasn’t Rebels. Mavericks won over Toros, Rangers and Hawks.

The fi rst Maverick mascot was a horned horse. In later years it was patterned, sort of, after Sam Maverick, a wealthy Texas landowner who participated in many momentous events in the state’s early history, among them the defense of the Alamo. He died in 1870.

Maverick accumulated a fabled empire and inspired the term “maverick” to denote an un-branded calf or an independent person.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

Through a year round individualized training program, players undergo a rigorous conditioning regimen. This program is designed, supervised, scruti-nized and implemented by a highly qualifi ed and dedicated certifi ed strength coach. Over the years strength coaching has evolved into immeasurably more than just weightlifting. Strength and conditioning is now performance enhancement. While weight lifting is still a fundamental facet, there are many other important features. Their program for athletes includes fl exibility train-ing, cardiovascular conditioning, speed and power development, improve-ment of self motivation and mental toughness. Not only do these eff orts improve the quality of the athlete’s performance, but this program greatly reduces the potential for injury, reduces the extent of many injuries and expe-dites recovery in case there is an injury.

At UT Arlington this is a year round endeavor, in-season and off season. Many of our student athletes choose to spend their summers in Arlington in order to extend their opportunity to train for a championship. We take tremendous pride in a facility and staff second to none in the nation. Every program is

uniquely matched to the athlete and the sport. The strength staff works very closely with the sport coaches to create a spirit of shared goals, consistent expectations and staying abreast of the most current technology and sport science.

The strength staff at the University of Texas-Arlington is devoted to the score-board results of every team at the University, but, more importantly, we are devoted and committed to the personal success of every student-athlete on and off the fi eld!

“Our staff is committed to developing each athlete’s innate ability to the full-est. This includes: strength, power, speed, endurance, fl exibility and resolve. We employ the latest techniques, equipment and motivation, as well as tra-ditional principals, to ensure that our student-athletes are trained specifi cally and individually to be champions in their sport.”

- Kathy Wagner, Head Strength and Conditioning Coach

SPORTS MEDICINE

A commitment to total care exists in every facet of UT Arlington’s approach to its student-athletes. UT Arlington Athletics Training facility contains modern equipment to ensure that a student-athlete is treated with care. Combined with the University health center, the student-athlete at UT Arlington is provided a team of physicians and care specialists.

The Maverick health care team focuses on preven-tion, treatment and rehabilitation. Equipment, training, medical and strength and conditioning staff s are jointly committed to health care and prevention.

“It has always been our philosophy to take a proac-tive approach to health care rather than just tending to our student-athletes after an injury,” said Roy Rudewick, head athletics trainer.

Rudewick, a 1989 graduate of UT Arlington enters his fourth year with the Mavericks after more than a decade of service within the Arlington Independent School District. He will oversee all teams and will serve as the primary trainer for the men’s basketball program.
