to three high school state championships at Great Bridge. Perry is currently an assistant at Illinois. He was awarded the National Wrestling Coaches Association state and regional coach of the year in 1995 and 2000. The Norfolk Sports Club named him the Bob Bates Award winner as the Outstanding Metropolitan Coach of the Year. On the high

school level, Martin was active in Virginia USA Wrestling, coaching at the Junior Nationals in Fargo, N.D. and has coached with the Wrestling USA Magazine Dream Team Classic and the Dapper Dan Classic in Pennsylvania. At Old Dominion, Martin has more of a challenge and he readily accepts it. Making the Monarchs program one of the top programs on the East Coast and in the nation is paramount. “Virginia high school wrestling is making a name for itself on the national level. While we will be recruiting nationally, it will be goal of our staff to keep these Virginia kids at home in front of their family and friends,” Martin said. Martin’s drive is to make Old Dominion a national powerhouse and the foundations are formed right now. The new wrestling room will be operational by 2007 and by then, Monarch wrestlers will be thriving. “I want to thank the administration at Old Dominion for giving me this great opportunity,” said Martin when he was named head coach in June of 2004. “It has been a personal goal of mine to coach at the Division I level and what makes this job even more special is that is in my home town and close to family, friends and supporters of wrestling.” His goal to become a coach was the first step, and

Winning is all that Old Dominion wrestling coach Steve Martin has ever known. From his days as a high school wrestler at Kempsville High School in Virginia Beach, as a three-time Virginia

high school state champion, to his days at the University of Iowa where he was an all-American and Midlands Champion, and as the head coach at Great Bridge High School, all Steve Martin has ever known is winning. The winning tradition he had as a coach has already broken through as the third-year coach at Old Dominion readies his wrestlers for what could be the toughest schedule Old Dominion has ever faced. In 2005-06, Martin added to his rapidly building reputation at ODU with a season ending at 11-7-1. The Monarchs took second at the CAA Tournament after tying for fifth the year before. Also, Martin coached four wrestlers to NCAA qualification, the most since 1995. In 2004-05, Martin led the Monarchs to their first double-digit win total since 1996, as the Monarchs held an 11-5 dual mark and a 6-2 record in CAA competition. The 11-5 record was also the first above .500 since 2000-01. Highlights of Martin’s rookie season included Old Dominion’s first victories over Rider and Boston University as well as individual wrestlers winning numerous Wrestler of the Week and Rookie of the Week honors from the CAA. The Monarchs upgraded their schedule and even though Martin gave his new team a tougher schedule, five wrestlers earned over 30 wins and seven overall notched 20 victories or more in 2004-05. He again recruited one of the top recruiting classes in the nation for the 2006-07 season, further preparing the Monarch wrestling program for success. W.I.N. Magazine ranked the incoming class #8, InterMat ranked it #10, while Wrestling USA Magazine ranked it #9. The foundation for Martin’s winning resume was also built on his pedigree. His father, the legendary Billy Martin, is the father of Virginia wrestling and won 22 state wrestling team titles in 23 years and coached dozens of state champions that went on to win and place at the NCAA championships. Martin’s brother David was a four-time Virginia high school state champion at Granby high school under his father and went on to wrestle at Indiana State. Billy Martin, Jr. was a three-time NCAA all-American at Oklahoma State, finishing second in 1974. Wayne Martin preceded Steve at Great Bridge after wrestling at Old Dominion, and has now taken over again at Great Bridge now that Steve is the coach at ODU. The groundwork for a successful wrestling coach was set in motion even before Steve Martin stepped on the mat as a competitor. As a coach, he saw success only matched by his father, leading Great Bridge to 13 state championships in 14 years. Each of those 13 years, Martin’s Wildcats were nationally ranked. Moving up to the college ranks, Martin still keeps the winning attitude that’s built around hard work in the wrestling room, hard work on your own, and hard work in the classroom. “We had this emphasis in college, where you broke somebody,” Steve Martin told the Virginian-Pilot in 2001. “You won by 15 points, or you pinned them, and at the end of the match, they crawled off the mat mentally and physically destroyed and they never wanted to step on the mat again with you.” Martin coached 40 high school state champions, 98 state place-winners, 35 All-Americans (freestyle and folkstyle) and six high school national champions. He also coached NCAA Division I National Champion Carl Perry

with the administration supporting the program, becoming a winning program will be only a matter of time, Martin says. “The administration has given us the resources to help us build into a national powerhouse. We have a budget where we are able to travel and see the best competition, a brand new 9000 sq. ft. wrestling room opening up in the fall of 07, a full time coaching staff, and we have matches at home in the Ted Constant Convocation Center. The university is in a beautiful location, near water in the Elizabeth River and Virginia Beach. This location has helped land two top eight recruiting classes in two years. We look for that success to continue and we are well on our way to building a national powerhouse.” Steve and his wife Lori live in Chesapeake, Va. They have four children; Madison (10), Macy (8), McKenna (7) and Max (3). Martin enjoys the outdoors and spending time with his family. When he is not on the mat, you can find him at the beach or at the Martin’s farm on Knott’s Island, N.C.

Jon Sioredas joined the Monarch wrestling staff in September of 2006. He joins the staff after a successful collegiate career at the University of Tennessee-

Chattanooga.

While wrestling under NCAA and World Champion Terry Brands, Sioredas earned All-American status by placing 5th at 165 pounds in the 2005 NCAA Division I tournament. This was in addition to being named Outstanding Wrestler and Wrestler of the Year in the Southern Conference, as well as being ranked as high as 2nd in the country.

Prior to joining the Chattanooga squad, Sioredas wrestled for three seasons at the University of Missouri where he was an All Big XII athlete. In 2000, Jon was a VHSL AAA State

Champion and All-American under Coach Steve Martin at Great Bridge High School in Chesapeake, VA. He was also an AAU National Champion in 1999.

Sioredas has a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology and Anthropology from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He is currently pursuing his Master’s in Business Administration at Old Dominion University.

Throughout the year, Jon runs and works numerous wrestling camps and clinics across the country.

Mike Dixon begins his second season with the Monarch wrestling program after serving as a volunteer assistant for the 2005-06 campaign.

In his first season with the Monarchs, Dixon helped head coach Steve Martin’s squad to an 11-7-1 overall mark having competed against 11 of the nation’s top 25 teams. Old Dominion took second at the CAA Tournament and had four wrestlers qualify for the NCAA Tournament, the most since 1995.

Dixon came to Old Dominion after serving as an assistant coach at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. While at JMU he coached two conference place winners and

brought in the most credentialed recruiting class since the university dropped scholarships in 2000. Among his recruits included three state titles and three runner-up finishes.

Prior to his stint at JMU, Dixon coached four Academic All-Americans, five national qualifiers, and the most wrestlers in the school’s history to finish in the top twelve in the country with three at the University of Indianapolis.

Dixon also spent some time as an assistant coach with Arsenal Technical High School in Indianapolis, Indiana, coaching four individual conference champions, two sectional finalists, and a city champion, the school’s first ever freshman to win a city championship.

A 2001 graduate of the Indiana University with a degree in management, Dixon was a four-year varsity letter winner for the Hoosiers. An NCAA qualifier, he was a 2001 University National Freestyle Champion and placed fourth at the Pan American Games. He also played Football at Indiana his senior year.

Dixon will assist in recruiting, putting together work out regimens, and coaching and scheduling practices.

Upon coming to Old Dominion as the head assistant, Lee Pritts was asked by friends and colleagues why he left Missouri, where he was an assistant coach for

six seasons. The answer was simple.

“Old Dominion is a gold-mine,” he said.

That gold-mine and the potential for winning made Pritts and easy choice for long-time friend Steve Martin.

Pritts brings an immediate intensity to the Old Dominion wrestling program that meshes well with the current staff and its direction for the program.

As a competitor, Pritts was a three-time NCAA qualifier from 1996-98. After a stint at Garden City Community College where he was teammates with former Old Dominion wrestler Mark Strickland (1997-98), Pritts claimed All-American honors in 1996 at Eastern Michigan.

Unseeded coming into the 1996 tournament at Minneapolis, Pritts achieved All- American status. Pritts won two Mid-America Conference championships and after transferring to Clarion for his senior season, won Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference and Eastern Wrestling League titles at 118 pounds.

A Fort Lauderdale, Fla., native, Pritts followed high school coach Brian Smith to Missouri. Pritts was a vital piece of Missouri’s rebuilding mission. The Tigers were perennially at the bottom of the Big 12 conference, but with Pritts, the Tigers earned their first victory over national powerhouse Oklahoma State in 2003-04.

Missouri had breakout seasons, winning the 2002 Virginia Duals National College Division.

He’s coached six NCAA All-American and two NCAA finalists as well as helped guide the Tigers to tournament titles at the Reno Tournament of Champions, Southern Scuffle, Mat Town USA tournament and a runner-up fi nish in the National Wrestling Coaches Association National Duals, which puts the top 16 teams in the nation against each other in a dual-tournament format.

Pritts and his wife Krista and 1 year old son Briggs live in Norfolk, Va. Pritts enjoys the outdoors and spending time at the Martin’s farm in Knotts Island, N.C. When he’s not working with wrestling, you can find him at the beach either surfing or wakeboarding and teaching his new son the finer points of wrist control.

Under third year Head Coach Steve Martin, the Old Dominion Monarchs look to field one of their best teams in years, along with facing one of the toughest schedules in the country. The Monarchs will see 20 of the top 30 schools in the country from last season including duals against Missouri and Hofstra, as well as facing perennial top twenty programs, Northern Iowa and Purdue. The Monarchs will also be traveling to several of the top tournaments across the country this season, and will see opponents from powerhouse programs such as Minnesota, Michigan, Cornell, Central Michigan, Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan State, Edinboro, Penn State, Arizona State just to name a few. With back-to-back top eight ranked recruiting classes in the fold, the Monarchs have the athletes to contend with the national schedule. “This is probably the toughest schedule Old Dominion has ever had. Our staff’s goal was to schedule meets so that all 10 weight classes will see the majority of guys ranked in the top 20 in the country. We have accomplished that,” said Head Coach Steve Martin. “We will be a very young team, but we expect to make huge gains throughout the season, and we want to attain our goals of winning a team conference championship this season as well as having multiple All-Americans at this year’s NCAA tournament.” Starting Martin’s third season at ODU, both of his recruiting classes have been exceptional to say the least. Along with a brand new wrestling facility currently being built and an elite caliber coaching staff, the Monarch grapplers have no choice but to step into the national spotlight and become a national powerhouse program. The 06-07 campaign will be the third year of the rebuilding process for ODU, as the team looks to win the CAA conference and place top 25 in the NCAA Division I National Tournament. Hereisalookatthe2006-07OldDominionMonarchsbyweight:125: Christian Staylor returns his senior season looking to place in the NCAA Championships. Staylor is one of three wrestlers from the tradition-rich program at Great Bridge High, where he was a three-time state champ and Cadet National Champ. Not a stranger to the NCAA tournament, this year could mark his third trip. A 2005 CAA conference champion looks to cap off this campaign with All-American status. “Staylor is the veteran of the team, and we will be looking to him for leadership in helping our team to reach new heights this season,” said Coach Martin. Two-time high school all-american Kyle Hutter will look to make an immediate impact at 125 as well.133: Junior BJ Compton returns for his 3rd season at Old Dominion. He will be dropping a weight class from last season, which ended in a 3rd place finish at the CAA tournament, and will be the front runner for this weight. This Virginia high school standout, with 4 state titles, looks to have a breakout season this year as he takes a shot at his first NCAA tournament. Also fighting for this spot will be freshman Adam Koballa. Koballa was named to the conference’s pre-season All-Freshman Team and was a two-time Ohio state champ and a 2006 Junior National finalist. 141: Ryan Williams took 2nd at the CAA Tournament as a freshman last season which qualified him for the NCAA Tournament. “Ryan turned out to become a very reliable wrestler for us last season. He has made tremendous improvement since he has come to Old Dominion and we look for Ryan to contend for All-American honors this season,” said Coach Martin. Also battling it out for a starting spot at this weight will be former NCAA qualifier, senior Michael Martin (Chesapeake, VA / Univ. of Illinois). The four-time Virginia high school state champ and high school national champion spent time at the University of Illinois before transferring to Old Dominion. A two-time Maryland state champion and double Junior National All-American Cam Watkins (Rockville, MD) is also in the running for time on the mat at 141. “This is definitely one of our deepest weight classes and we feel any one of these guys can step in for us and continue a high level of production,” Coach Martin said.149: Kaylen Baxter (Fairbanks, AK) returns after red shirting last season. Baxter was a 3-time Alaska state champion as well as a Junior National All-American. He is also a FILA Junior National All-American after placing at last year’s tournament in Las Vegas. Joey Metzler (Dayton, VA) a true freshman from Turner Ashby High School was a three-time state finalist as well as a state champion. He will see time in the line up and make an immediate impact this year.

157: Redshirt freshman Chris Brown looks to make a run into the national spot light this year. Brown is another Great Bridge alumni who wrestled for Coach Martin, where he was a two-time high school state champion as well as a high school All-American. Brown will continue his tutelage under Martin as he strives for All-American status this year. “Brown is definitely one of the most talented wrestlers in our room. He has All-American potential and we expect great things this season and throughout his career,” said Assistant Coach Jon Sioredas.165: Junior Nick Pullano returns for his 3rd season at Old Dominion and will be moving up a weight class. Once he heard his former coach was taking the Old Dominion job, Pullano immediately transferred looking to continue his success. In high school, Martin coached him to All-American honors in 2003. “Nick is one of the few veterans we have in our lineup and we will look to him for leadership and experience. He is one of the hardest workers in our room and we look for that to carry over in matches,” Martin said. 174: Bryan Koz will see mat time this season after redshirting last year, and now moving up a weight class for the Monarchs. He wrestled for high school national powerhouse St. Edward, where he was a state finalist. True freshman Derek Coffey will be brawling for the position at 174. Coffey was an all-state competitor in Pennsylvania. “This should be another very highly contested weight class. We look for great things out of both of them this season,” Martin said.184: True Freshman Jesse Strawn was a high school All-American, Brute Adidas All-American, two-time state champion, and a two-time runner-up. Strawn will step in right away for the Monarchs this season. He is the third person on the conference’s pre-season All-Freshman Team. Martin said, “Jesse has only begun to scratch the surface of how good he can be. He has won his whole life and we expect that to continue during his career at Old Dominion. He will be a force to reckon with very soon.”197: Sophomore David Mendoza returns for the Monarchs for his second season and is moving up a weight class. Mendoza was the starter last year at 184, where he landed a winning season. He looks to build off of last season with a CAA title and a berth to the national tournament.285: Rounding out the Monarch’s lineup this season will be redshirt freshman Matt Pellar. The two-time all-state competitor will finalize the 06-07 Old Dominion line up. “Pellar made huge gains last season for us in the room and we look for that to continue this season,” said Assistant Coach Mike Dixon. This young lineup will see very few breaks this season as Old Dominion faces one of the toughest schedules in the country. “Our staff will do a great job in preparing our guys for our schedule this season,” said Coach Martin. Everyone on our team has high goals and we expect this to be a breakout season for Old Dominion. This should be the start of what we expect to be many great seasons for the Monarchs.

ASICS® products were introduced to the United States in 1977. Cliff Keen was founded by the legendary University of Michigan wrestling coach of the same name in 1958.

2005-06 SEASON REVIEW

The Old Dominion Wrestling team continued to build on their upward momentum towards becoming a nationally recognized program during the 2005-06 season, recording an 11-7-1 overall record after competing against 11 of the nation’s top 25 teams. The Monarchs took second at the CAA Tournament after tying for fifth the previous year, and had four wrestlers qualify for the NCAA Tournament, the most since 1995.

Senior Adam Wright had a breakout final season at 197 pounds. Ranked in the top 20 for the majority of the season, and as high as 15th, Wright led the team in wins with 32 giving him his third consecutive 30-win season. A 2005-06 NCAA qualifier, Wright finished his career at Old Dominion with a 119-31 record, and grabbed a team high six technical falls, as well as five major decisions and nine pins. He went 2-2 at the NCAA’s.

Wright fought to a sixth place finish at the Missouri Open and Mat Town USA, and beat tough top 20 ranked opponents from schools such as Edinboro, Northern Iowa, and conference rival Hofstra. He made Dean’s list his fall senior semester as a mechanical engineering major, along with being named CAA Wrestler of the Week three times this season. At the Virginia Intercollegiates, Wright came away with this third consecutive State Champion title, only the 17th wrestler to ever accomplish that feat. He was named the tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler for capturing his 101st career win in the championship bout.

Freshman Ryan Williams made a name for himself by winning a starting position at 133 pounds midway into the season. Williams went 3-1 at the CAA Tournament to take second place and earn him a spot in the NCAA Tournament where he fell to his first two opponents and was eliminated. He took seventh at Mat Town and the East Stroudsburg Open, and finished seventh at the Virginia Intercollegiates. Williams led the team in pins with 10 and was second on the team for wins by decision with 16, earning a 29-15 record. He also won CAA Freshman of the Week honors for February 7, 2006, after going undefeated in back-to-back matches against conference opponents.

The Monarchs opened the season with three dual matches at the Avalon Duals, where they beat Maryland 24-17 and Slippery Rock 31-9, but then fell to Edinboro 41-3. After competing in a slew of tournaments in the season and meeting some tough competition, the Monarchs returned to dual action as they hosted the University of Northern Iowa for the first time in the history of the program but lost 34-6.

From there, the Monarchs then beat the Citadel 22-13 and took first at the Virginia Intercollegiate State Tournament for the first time since 1994. ODU head coach Steve Martin was voted the tournament’s Coach of the Year. The next weekend the Monarchs competed in the Virginia Duals, splitting the first day after beating Virginia Tech 30-15 and falls to Bloomsburg 19-13. ODU lost a close match the next day to conference rival Drexel 24-17.

MONARCH WRESTLING ROOMThe New Home of Monarch Wrestling

A 9,000 square foot state-of-the-art wrestling room will give Old Dominion wrestling one of the top facilities nationally to practice and train in. The wrestling facility is being built beside the existing athletic administration building.

The facility will consist of 4,500 square feet of mat space equivalent to roughly three championship size mats. The mat room will consist of a cardio area with air dyne bikes, treadmills, pull-up bars, and climbing ropes. The mat room is accessible only by a university ID that will have a card swipe feature on the 2 entrances. Natural light will be present throughout the entire complex.

Offices for the head and assistant coaches are accessible from the hallway or the mat room. A film room and recruiting lounge are connected to the coaches’ office. The film room will consist of a television to allow for video review and instruction. The entire complex will be wired for sound to listen to CD’s, radio, and television.

The spacious locker rooms are connected to the wrestling practice area. In the locker room will be blue carpeting embroidered with a university logo, lockers with lock boxes, a personal stool for each athlete and nameplates above each locker. Spacious shower and bathroom facilities exist as well. Separate locker rooms and showers will exist for the coaching staff.

As ODU wrestling continues to build into a national powerhouse it will now have a building fit to train champions.

One of Old Dominion’s finest wrestling alums is Anthony “Buddy” Lee. For years, he has wowed audiences around the world with his acrobatic jump rope skills and techniques. Buddy currently has his own line of High performance jump ropes and training programs that are used by Olympians across

all sports. His patented jump ropes are licensed and are the official ropes of The United States Olympic Team. Buddy came to Old Dominion from Highland Springs High School in Richmond, Va. a high school known for its basketball and football state championship teams. He started wrestling as a 9th grader and won Highland Springs’ first Virginia AAA State championship at 126 pounds in 1977 and was the State Runner up at 119 lb. in 1976.He came to Old Dominion with only one high school state title and a record of 90 -5 1 and as of 2004, is one of only three high school

state champions from Highland Springs. Buddy was a two-time NCAA All-American at ODU, placing fourth in 1980 and seventh in 1982. After graduating from ODU with a degree in secondary education, he went on to serve in the U.S. Marines and became a 10-time world medalist, a three-time National Greco Roman Champion, and was voted most outstanding wrestler at the National Championships and was twice named U.S. Marine Corps Athlete of the Year. Buddy is the first of hopefully many more Olympic wrestling hopefuls that have stepped on the mat at Old Dominion University. He placed sixth in the 1992 Barcelona Games in Greco-Roman.He is the author of Jump Rope Training published by Human Kinetics, a national motivational speaker, inventor of Hyperformance jump rope with a patented bearing system, and a trainer to Olympic Athletes, all while living an exemplary lifestyle. Pictured above, you will see Buddy carrying the Olympic Torch en route to the 1996 Atlanta Games. In 2004, Buddy Lee Jump Ropes were recognized as the best jump rope, period, by “Men’s Health” and Men’s Fitness magazine and appeared on CNN Headline news, NBC, CBS, Business Week, GQ, Jet, New York Times, Los Angeles Times and will appear in Vogue. Buddy compiled an impressive 122-13-2 record at Old Dominion, was was voted male athlete of the year three times; most valuable wrestler four times and was and inducted into the ODU Sports Hall of Fame in 1987. “Wrestling built my character, taught me the self discipline, commitment, confidence, persistence, and courage to fight to the end to live my dreams. My greatest lessons did not come from winning but from what I learned in the struggle for athletic excellence. I learned about life and about myself. Everyday I call on these mental skills to help me in my personal life, in business and to continue to stay focused to live my dream to motivate, educate and encourage others to become fit for life,” said Lee. “Wrestling helped me to discover, mold and develop my inner self to become a champion in life. As a result my education and sports background has allowed me to make the right choices in life.”

Coming off one of the most successful seasons in its 21-year history, the Colonial Atletic Association continues to enhance its reputation as one of the

nation’s top collegiate conferences.

With a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Atlanta, the CAA encompasses five of the nation’s nine largest metropolitan areas. On the playing field, the conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 12 national players of the year, 11 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Even more impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 19 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2005-06, the CAA had 11 ESPN the Magazaine Academic All-Americans and more than 1,500 of our 4,000 student-athletes posted at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport and received the CAA Commissioner’s Academic Award.

The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes six of the nation’s top 25 media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (5), Washington, D.C. (8), Atlanta (9) and Baltimore (23). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 19 million.

The CAA conducts championships in 21 sports. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. The CAA will also begin sponsorship of a 12-team Division I-AA football league in the fall of 2007.

The conference made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball, with four teams advancing to post-season play for the second year in a row. George Mason became the first mid-major program since 1979 to reach the Final Four, knocking off powerhouses Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut along the way. The Patriots were ranked #8 in the final ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll, which was the highest ever for a CAA team. UNC Wilmington claimed its third league title in the past five years before dropping an overtime decision in the NCAA Tournament. Old Dominion became the first conference team to reach the final four of the NIT, defeating league member Hofstra in the quarterfinals. Drexel was the first CAA squad to make the final four of the NIT Pre-Season Tip-Off Tournament, where it dropped close decisions to national powers Duke and UCLA. The CAA was ranked eighth out of 31 conferences in the final RPI with six teams among the top 88 in the country.

In women’s basketball, the CAA had a league-record four teams earn post-season berths and was ranked #8 in the final RPI. Perennial power Old Dominion, which claimed its 15th consecutive conference title, has a storied history that includes three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and a national runner-up finish in 1997. Delaware, James Madison and Hofstra received berths in the 2006 WNIT.

The conference also excels in many other sports. CAA squads have won 10 field hockey national titles since the championship began in 1981 and Old Dominion advanced to the national semifinals in 2005. In baseball, James Madison’s Kellen Kulbacki was chosen as the Co-National Player of the Year and the league had 28 players chosen in the 2006 Major League Baseball draft. The CAA is annually ranked among the nation’s top 10 conferences in men’s and women’s soccer, and traditionally sends multiple teams to the NCAA Tournament. Hofstra’s men’s lacrosse team was ranked #2 in the nation last season and tied an NCAA record with 17 victories while CAA women’s tennis players Megan Moulton-Levy of William & Mary and Tatsiana Uvarova of VCU both earned All-America honors after facing off in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championship. In 2005-06, 21 league teams earned NCAA Tournament berths in 16 sports. There were 37 CAA student-athletes who earned All-America honors.

CAA member institutions are committed to excellence in the classroom. The Colonial Academic Alliance was created in 2002 by the league’s presidents with a goal of expanding their partnership to all aspects of university life outside of intercollegiate athletics. Among the programs already established are an undergraduate research conference, coordination of study abroad programs and granting visiting academic status to student-athletes traveling to an away contest so that they have access to libraries, academic resource centers and computer labs.

In 2002, two faculty members from CAA institutions were awarded academia’s most coveted distinction – the Nobel Prize. John B. Fenn, a research professor in the Department of Chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University, received the Nobel Prize for chemistry, and Vernon Smith, a professor of economics and law at George Mason University, shared the Nobel Prize in economic sciences.

Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. Long-time members George Mason University, James Madison University, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, Old Dominion University, Virginia Commonwealth University and the College of William & Mary were joined by the University of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra University and Towson University in 2001. Georgia State University and Northeastern University became members of the conference on July 1, 2005.

The CAA traces its roots back to 1983 when three of its current members- George Mason, James Madison, and William and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, the United States Naval Academy and the University of Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC South). During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquired two new members (UNC Wilmington and American University) and decided to form a new association. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985. Old Dominion became a member of the CAA in 1991-92 and VCU joined the conference prior to the 1995-96 season.

From all-star athletes to Nobel Prize winning faculty, the CAA takes great pride in producing performers who stand out both on the playing field and in the classroom.

When Jim Jarrett arrived on the campus of Old Dominion University in the fall of 1967 as a Health and Physical Education professor, he had little idea that his tenure would be counted

in decades. During that time span, he has led the program from a well respected NCAA Division II member to a nationally respected Division I power that has captured 25 national championships. Jarrett began his 36th year as athletic director in 2006, taking over the reigns in 1970 when Bud Metheny stepped down from that position. Asone of the youngest athletic directors in the nation at that time, Jarrettquickly began to make a name for himself and ODU. He committed early on to a philosophy of “selective excellence,” whereby the department

“selected” its competitive sports and committed itself financially, academically and competitively to the sports it felt the University could best excel. In 1974, Jarrett became the first athletic director in the state of Virginia to award grant-in-aids to women student-athletes. It was a bold move at the time for a young athletic director and equally young University, but one that paid great dividends. Just five years later, in 1979, the Lady Monarchs won the first of three national championships in women’s basketball, and led the nation in attendance. Under his leadership, the department’s athletic venues have tripled and are considered state of the art facilities. They include the construction of the Bud Metheny Baseball Complex, the Sailing Center, the Athletic Administration Building and the 8,500 seat Constant Convocation Center. Currrently, Jarrett is overseeing construction of the ODU Soccer Building, an indoor tennis facility and renovations to the Athletic Administration Building, which include a new weight room, training room and academic advising area. For all his efforts, Jarrett’s has been honored many times by national and local groups. Most recently, Jarrett was given Lifetime Achievement awards from NACDA and VaSID. In 2003, he was named the Southeast Regional Athletic Director of the Year by NACDA. Other awards he’s received include the Collegiate Director’s Award from the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, and the Norfolk Sports Club Man of the Year. He served as a member of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Committee and is a past president of the Colonial Athletic Association and the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. An avid golfer and tennis player, Jarrett and his wife Sugie reside in Norfolk.

Dr. Roseann Runte became the seventh president of Old Dominion University in the summer of 2001. She has more than 20 years’ experience as a professor and senior administrator. Her

publications include books, articles and chapters on topics ranging from economic and cultural development to creative writing. She has served on national and international boards, including The National Bank of Canada, the National Library, the Club of Rome, UNESCO and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. She is currently president of the American Council on Education’s Commission on International Education, a board member of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and a

member of the Executive Advisory Council for SunGard SCT. Dr. Runte’s work has been recognized with many awards and honors, including the Order of Canada, the French Order of Merit, fellowship in the Royal Society and the World Academy of Arts and Science, several honorary degrees and a prize from the French Academy.

Old Dominion University

Many people have wondered how the Old Dominion University athletic teams came to be officially known as the Monarchs. For many years, the athletic teams of

the Norfolk Division of the College of William & Mary (as Old Dominion was formerly called) were known as the Braves. This was a derivation of the William & Mary nickname of Indians. As Old Dominion achieved its own four-year status and saw its enrollment surpass that of its Williamsburg neighbor, it was no longer suitable or acceptable to have its teams called the Braves. The name Monarchs evokes much of the early history of the Commonwealth of Virginia and of Old Dominion’s mother institution, the College of William and Mary. The nickname “Old Dominion” was first coined to the Virginia colony by King Charles II after Virginia’s loyalty to the crown during the English Civil War. Furthermore, William III and Mary II, whose patronage helped found the College of William and Mary in Virginia in 1693, ruled England at the invitation of Parliament as “joint monarchs.” The Monarch used by Old Dominion has a royal crown on a lion’s head, representing an historic past and a strong future. The school’s current family of athletic logos were adopted in April of 2002.

WHY MONARCHS?

Old Dominion University opened its doors 76 years ago in an abandoned public school building to 206 students. Known at the time as the Norfolk

Division of the College of William and Mary, it became an independent, four-year institution in 1962 and attained university status in 1969. Today, Old Dominion enrolls more than 21,000 students, including approximately 6,200 graduate students. Its 185-acre Norfolk campus is the primary hub of activity, along with four additional higher education centers (Virginia Beach Center, Peninsula Center, Tri-Cities Center and Northern Virginia Center). Old Dominion is a versatile university, committed to its students, their education, personal development and overall success. The University offers 68 bachelor’s degrees, 60 master’s degrees, 35 doctoral degrees and two educational specialist degrees, and consists of six colleges: Arts and Letters, Business and Public Administration, Education, Engineering and Technology, Health Sciences and Sciences. Students who live on campus may choose residence hall or apartment-style living. The attractive Webb University Center provides a bookstore, cafeteria, food court, game room, lounge areas, and other shops and offices to serve the student body. Old Dominion is one of Virginia’s leading Ph.D. research institutions. The University contributes approximately $600 million a year to

the Hampton Roads economy and provides the community with a variety of programs and services, including the Applied Research Center, Virginia Applied Technology and Professional Development Center, Military Career Transition Program, Executive Development Center and the Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center. A leader in space-related research, Old Dominion ranks first in the state in funding from NASA for research projects. The University operates one of the largest wind tunnels in the world at NASA’s Langley Research Center, and its Oceanography, Nuclear Physics, and Modeling and Simulation programs are among the best in the nation. The University Village, a 75-acre development along the east side of Hampton Boulevard, is yet another economic spark for the region. The 8,600-seat Ted Constant Convocation Center, which opened in fall 2002, is the centerpiece of the project. The Village also currently includes 278 modern apartment units for students, a fitness center and a variety of restaurants. Plans call for the addition of a research park, bookstore, hotel and shopping center. In the classroom, Old Dominion students continue to earn high marks. The University boasts three USA Today Academic All-Americans and a Truman Fellow. ODU’s first Rhodes Scholar is former field hockey All-

American Samantha Salvia, a 1996 graduate. Through its distance learning operation, Old Dominion offers nationally ranked programs in the sciences, engineering, arts and letters, health sciences, business and education. Its network includes nearly 50 locations throughout Virginia and as far away as Arizona, Georgia, Washington state, and even U.S. Navy ships and submarines deployed around the globe. Old Dominion is well known for its international focus in both its curricula and student population. More than 1,100 international students from 100 countries are enrolled at the University. The University also contributes to the cultural life of Hampton Roads by presenting music and dance concerts, plays, art exhibits, and annual literary and film and video festivals. In addition, the President’s Lecture Series brings nationally known speakers to campus each year. The University is located approximately 200 miles south of Washington, D.C., and is but a short drive to Virginia Beach and the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
