Jason Loukides enters his fourth season as head coach of UNC Greensboro’s wres-tling program and his sixth season overall with the team.

In his third season at the helm, Loukides and the Spartans wrapped up the dual season with a 7-11 mark overall, while compiling a 4-1 record in Southern Confer-ence matches to finish second in the league. The Spartans turned in another great finish at the SoCon Championships as they scored 73 team points to earn runner-up honors. Mikal McKee won the SoCon Championship at 184 pounds to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. Chris Bencivenga also qualified for the NCAA Champion-ships with his runner-up finish and Byron Sigmon earned an at-large bid to nation-als, which marked the second-straight season he made it to nationals. Bencivenga was also named Co-Wrestler of the Year by the SoCon during the regular season and McKee and senior Ben Wilmore earned All-SoCon honors.

In 2007-08, Loukides guided the Spartans to a 9-9 overall record and a 3-2 mark in the Southern Conference. As a team, UNCG finished third at the Mat Jam/So-Con Championships with 71.5 points. Individually, Jeff Hedges (133 lbs.), Byron Sigmon (165 lbs.) and Daren Burns (197 lbs.) were crowned champions in their respective weightclasses and advanced to the NCAA National Championships. Hedges, Sigmon and Burns also received All-Conference honors along with Ryan Hsu.

Loukides helped UNCG to a pair of milestones in his first season. The Spartans picked up their 100th win in dual meet competition with a 29-9 victory over Lib-erty on Feb. 21, 2007. Additionally, the Liberty match marked the 200th dual in program history since wrestling was instituted at UNCG in 1993. Additionally, the Spartans posted a 10-4 mark in Loukides’ first season, marking the first winning season by a first-year head coach in program history.

Also in 2006-07, the Spartans finished second at the Mat Jam/SoCon Champion-ships for the second year in a row, totaling 75 points. Two Spartans also claimed individual championships. Joe Lowe claimed his third-straight conference title at 174, while Joe Sheffield won at 285 lbs.

Prior to becoming head coach of the Spartans, Loukides served as an assistant coach under Tom Shifflet for two seasons. He helped UNCG to a 23-11 mark in dual matches. The Spartans won a school record 12 matches in Loukides’ first year as assistant in 2004-05 and fell just shy of that mark at 11-6 in the 2005-06 season.

Before coming to UNCG, Loukides spent six years in the Army’s World Class Athlete Program, located in Colorado Springs, CO.

Loukides served as a coach for Edinboro University’s Scotsmen Wrestling Club team from 1996-97. He also served two seasons as a graduate assistant coach at Slippery Rock University.

Loukides’ major accomplishments on the mat include an opportunity to participate at the World Championships in Greece as a 2001 World Team Member. In 2003, he earned a silver medal in Greco International wrestling at the Pan American Games

and earned a bronze medal in the freestyle division of the World Mili-tary Championships. In addition, Loukides placed fourth at the U.S. National Championships and fifth at the U.S. Olympic Trials during the summer of 2006. He has earned All-American honors in both Greco-Roman and Freestyle at the Cadet, Junior, University, and Senior com-petative levels.

At national powerhouse Edinboro, where he was a college teammate of Shifflet’s and competed under wrestling legend Bruce Baumgart-ner, Loukides finished third in the 1994 EWL Championships at 190 lbs. He advanced to the NCAA Championship held in Chapel Hill, NC, where he was seeded 12th and won his first round match to advance to the third round of wrestlebacks. Loukides still ranks 23rd all-time at Edinboro on the school’s all-time win list, graduating with a career mark of 82-38-2. He was also a part of Edinboro’s 1994 EWL Regular Season Championship squad.

Loukides earned a bachelor of arts degree in specialized studies from Edinboro University in 1994 and a computer systems management degree from Colorado Christian University in 2001. He received his master’s degree in environmental education from Slippery Rock Uni-versity in 2000 and is currently pursuing a second master’s degree in kinesiology from the University of Texas at the Permian Basin.

BURNSDarenASSISTANT COACHFirst year at UNCGUNC Greensboro, 2008

UNC Greensboro alumnae Darren Burns enters his first season as an assistant coach for the Spartan wrestling team. Burns spent the past season working as a volunteer assistant with the Spartans.

“I am very excited about the addition of Daren Burns to the UNCG coaching staff,” Coach Loukides said. “Daren is a true Spartan and knows UNCG inside and out. He excelled both as a student and an athlete while at UNCG. He has an outstanding competitive background, including four conference championships and two top-12 appearances at the NCAA Champi-onships, and is UNCG’s all-time wins leader. He will be a tremendous addition to our staff.”

Burns ended his career after the 2007-08 season as the most decorated wrestler to ever wear a UNCG singlet. He finished with a career record of 107-35 and an amazing 54-11 in dual matches. His 107 wins currently stand as the most in school history.

Last season, in addition to being a volunteer coach for the UNCG wrestling team, Burns was the head coach for the Y.E.S. Greensboro wrestling club. The club, which stands for Youth, Education & Sport, is a freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling club for student-athletes to better their abilities on the mat and in the classroom. Burns has also been a clinician at the UNCG wrestling camps since 2004, helping campers learn the intricacies of the sport.

Burns is the only wrestler in school history to win four Southern Conference wrestling championships. He is also the only wrestler to qualify for the NCAA Championships four times. As a sophomore and redshirt senior, Burns finished in the top 12 at the NCAA Championships. In 2004, he was also named the SoCon Freshman of the Year after winning the conference championship at 197 pounds.

Burns also found success wrestling in national and international competition in freestyle and Greco-Roman events. In 2005, Burns won a bronze medal at the Pan American Championships in the freestyle division. He continued his freestyle success in 2007 when he won a silver medal at the University Nation-als and qualified for the U.S. World Team Trials.

He showed his Greco-Roman abilities in 2008 when he claimed the Western Regional Championship. He also qualified for the USA Olympic Trials in Greco-Roman that same year.

Burns recently earned his bachelor’s degree in exercise and sports science from UNCG in December 2008. He has aspirations of going back to school to get his MBA in the near future.

THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE The Southern Conference, which began its 89th season of intercollegiate competition in 2009, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the fore-front of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing inter-collegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), develop-ing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic associa-tion. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Aca-demic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The Conference currently consists of 12 mem-bers in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Champion-ships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

Membership history On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Ho-tel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Con-ference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Insti-tute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Caro-lina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as act-ing chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new ath-letic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play

summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league includ-ing Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meet-ing but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knox-ville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league which began play in 1932. The Southern Conference continued with mem-bership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Wash-ington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Sam-ford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.

Leadership John Iamarino was officially named commission-er of the conference on January 2, 2006. Iamarino has promoted the Southern Conference through an ambitious agenda which has improved competition, upgraded compliance-related matters, launched the conference’s Hall of Fame and increased the marketing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions. The Southern Conference named its first com-missioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the first person at the helm of the conference.

Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athlet-ics. In 1987, he was succeeded by Dave Hart who spearheaded the transfer of the league office from Charlotte, N.C., to Asheville, N.C. Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retire-ment in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the South-ern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball tournament. Waters, who is cur-rently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was followed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA office, introduced the current conference logo and elevated the confer-ence’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners. Danny Morrison headed the conference from 2001-2005 and orchestrated the league’s move from Asheville, N.C., to Spartanburg, S.C. Under Morrison’s leadership, the conference increased its marketing and promotional efforts.

Championship history The first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in At-lanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. Commissioner Germann spearheaded the Southern Conference’s expansion to include wom-en’s athletics during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recent-ly, the conference instituted golf and softball cham-pionships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994. The Germann Cup, named in honor of the former commissioner, annually recognizes the top wom-en’s athletics programs in the conference. From its humble beginnings, women’s athletics have be-come an integral part of the Southern Conference and its success. The Southern Conference declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and softball.

MINERVAThe University of North Carolina at Greensboro was first chartered back on February 18, 1891 as the State Normal and Industrial School. It was the first state-supported school for the higher education of women in North Caro-lina. Founded by Charles Duncan McIver, it became co-educational in 1963. Today, in its 119th year of existance, the campus covers 210 acres in downtown Greensboro and has an enrollment that exceeded 17,000 for the first time ever last year. For fall 2008, 17,467 students were enrolled, including 13,453 undergraduates.

UNIVERSITY FOUNDERCHARLES McIVER

Charles Duncan McIver, founder of the State Normal and Industrial School (now UNCG), decided Minerva, Roman god-dess of Wisdom, would be a good symbol

for the school. Beginning with the first diploma in 1893, the head of Minerva has

appeared on every diploma awarded by the institution.

The class of 1907 donated the original Minerva statue - made of plaster - to the University. In 2003, the class of 1953 commissioned a replacement, made of bronze, and placed outside the Elliott University Center in the heart of campus.

Founded in 1891, UNCG is a diverse, student-centered research university, linking the Triad and North Carolina to the world through learn-ing, discovery and service. The university is organized into a College of Arts & Sciences and six professional schools, with more than 1,000 faculty members teaching in programs that offer 86 undergraduate, 56 master’s and 25 doctoral degrees. Among its high-impact projects are the Gateway University Research Park and the Joint School of Nanosci-ence and Nanoengineering, which are being created in partnership with North Carolina A&T.

UNCG’s School of Nursing, which was established in 1966, is the third largest in North Carolina. It has three departments – Adult Health, Parent-Child and Community Practice – and is recognized for the excellence of its programs and the success of its graduates. The master’s program in nurse anesthesia was ranked eighth nationally by U.S. News and World Report. In ad-dition, UNCG is the first institution in the UNC system to offer a combined Master of Science in Nursing and Master of Business Administration in health management.

Despite record numbers for enrollment, UNCG still enjoys a student-faculty ratio of 17:1 with a faculty totalling 1,080. More than 2,000 bachelor’s degrees and nearly 1,000 master’s and doctoral diplomas are awarded annually. Over the last several years, 75 percent of freshmen have returned the following year.

THE UNCG CAMPUS AND THE GREENSBORO SKYLINEUNCG has long had a reputation for academic excellence and student-athletes at UNCG are not an exception to the rule. At the end of each of the last four academic years, more than 40% of UNCG student-athletes held a grade-point-average of 3.0 or better, including 49% of them last year. In spring 2009, UNCG’s 248 student-athletes had a combined GPA of 2.93, marking the sixth-straight semester they combined for a 2.9 GPA or better.

The School of Music, which was established in 1921, is rated as one of the Top 20 in the country and combines rigorous theory, history, and performance training with a broad liberal arts education. Pictured above, the University opened a $25.7 million state-of-the-art music facility in 1999. The school offers the only comprehensive slate of performance and music education degrees from the baccalaureate through the doc-torate in North Carolina.

Dr. Linda BRADYChancellor

Dr. Linda P. Brady became the 10th chancellor of The Uni-versity of North Caro-lina at Greensboro August 1, 2008.

Brady, 61, suc-ceeded Dr. Patricia A. Sullivan, UNCG’s first woman chancellor, who retired July 31, 2008, after almost 14 years in the post.

In recommending Brady to the Board of Governors, UNC President Erskine Bowles said: “Over the past 25 years, Linda Brady has accu-mulated a wealth of leadership experience at highly respected public, urban universities, as well as in the halls of Washington. At each step along the way, she has proven herself to be an energetic leader who promotes collaboration, creative problem-solving, and real-life com-mitment to scholarship, research, and public service. …

“With her broad experience in higher education and federal government, her demonstrated integrity and sound judgment, and her profound understanding of the global marketplace in which our students must compete, Linda Brady will be a forceful and effective leader for UNC Greensboro.”

A native of New York City and the first member of her family to at-tend college, Brady graduated from Douglass College, the women’s division of Rutgers University, in 1969 with a degree in political sci-ence. She received a master’s degree in the field from Rutgers (1970) and a doctorate in political science from The Ohio State University (1974). She began her academic career as an assistant professor of political science at Vanderbilt University in 1973 and joined the fac-ulty at Goucher College in Maryland three years later.

From 1978 to 1985, Brady held several positions in the U.S. Depart-ment of State and the U.S. Department of Defense. Among other roles, she served as a political analyst in the State Department’s Office of Disarma-ment and Arms Control and as special assistant for mutual and balanced force reductions in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. She later served as a senior fellow in international security and arms control at the Carter Center of Emory University (1986-87) and as a distinguished professor of national security at the U.S. Military Academy (1991-92).

From 1993 to 2001, Brady led the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she was also a profes-sor of international affairs. She joined North Carolina State University in 2001 as Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and pro-fessor of political science, and over the next five years was credited with building the stature and visibility of the College, launching a number of new graduate degree programs, and significantly increasing external support for the humanities and social sciences at NC State. She left North Carolina in 2006 to become the chief academic and operating officer at the Univer-sity of Oregon.

Brady has authored or co-edited three books and numerous book chapters and scholarly articles in the fields of American foreign policy, international negotiation, and arms control. Among other professional organizations, she is a member of the International Studies Association, the American Political Science Association, the International Institute for

Strategic Studies, and the Council on Foreign Relations. A past recipient of the Georgia Tech School of Social Sciences Teaching Award, she has earned the Superior Honor Award from the U.S. Department of State and is a two-time recipient of the Outstanding Civilian Service Medal from the Department of the Army. She was an American Council on Education Fellow in 1997-98, serving her fellowship year at the University of Iowa under the mentorship of President Mary Sue Coleman and Provost Jon Whitmore.

Since moving to UNCG, Brady has become a member of the Greensboro Rotary Club. She is also on the Board of Directors for United Way of Greater Greensboro and the Greensboro Partnership.

Brady is married to Gustav “Steve” Heyer, a retired Army officer. She has two adult stepsons and three grandchildren: Stephen Heyer and his wife, Suzanne, live in Richmond, Va., with their children Alyx, Megan, and Andrew Casey, while Michael Heyer lives in Chicago, Ill.

In accepting the position at UNCG, Brady said, “This is one of the very best jobs in American higher education. I am so grateful for this opportunity and humbled by the trust you have place in me. I shall not let you down.”

Rod Wyatt, 49, is an athletics administrator with nearly 20 years of experience. He is currently ser ving as UNCG’s Interim Director of Athletics after Nelson Bobb stepped down after 26 years in the AD’s post.

Wyatt was named to his post of Associate Director of Athletics for Student Welfare at the UNC Greensboro in May 2003, although he has been a part of the UNCG athletic administration in various roles for the vast majority of his career (1987-96 and 2001-present).

Wyatt’s current duties include day-to-day management of the academic enhancement program, compliance services, academic compliance services, sports medicine / athletic training services (including the CHAMPS life skills program), the strength and conditioning program, and serving as the sport administrator for the men’s golf, women’s golf and baseball programs. He also serves in an ex-officio capacity on the Chancellors Advisory Committee for Intercollegiate Athletics and the Senate’s Faculty Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics.

Prior to his re-appointment, Wyatt served as the Associate Director of Athletics for Public Affairs. In that role, he was responsible for the day-to-day supervision of the ticket office, as swell as sports information and marketing efforts, and oversaw management of the cheerleaders, dance team and pep band. Additionally, Wyatt served as the official spokesperson for the department and was an integral part of the initial launch of the athletics department’s Web site.

Wyatt has been actively involved in collegiate athletics for 27 years. His professional career began at Louisburg Junior College in 1982 when he was named an assistant men’s basketball coach. In 1987, Wyatt came to UNCG for the first time and was named the first full-time assistant men’s basketball coach and facility and equipment assistant. Three years later, Wyatt became the university’s first head coach in the sport of cross country. Additionally, he was named the institution’s first Compliance Coordinator, being given the charge of monitoring the athletics department’s compliance with NCAA, federal, state and institutional rules and regulations during a key time as the program was transitioning to NCAA Division I.

After serving in that dual position for two years, Wyatt gave up his coaching duties and was named Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance. In 1994, Wyatt’s title was changed to Special Assistant to the Director of Athletics and he was charged with managing the athletics department’s ticket operations and developing policy and procedure for ticketing in accordance with university, state, NCAA and athletics department requirements.

Wyatt also served for five years as the Assistant Commissioner for Compliance at the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) from 1996-2001. Wyatt’s duties at the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference were extensive, serving a variety of constituencies and having the ultimate duty of certifying student-athletes’ eligibility for the league’s 11 member institutions.

On a national level, Wyatt has recently served as a member of the Division

I Committee on Academic Performance (CAP) – the committee charged with developing and implementing the Academic Progress Program with its relation to the Academic Progress Rate (APR) of Division I student-athletes throughout the country.

Prior to his service on CAP, Wyatt was a member of the NCAA Division I Initial Eligibility Core Course Waivers Committee for four years, reviewing initial eligibility waivers related to the NCAA Clearinghouse. He also served NACDA as a faculty member at the first Academic Reform Institute (May-June 2007) for support services across the United States.

On the state level, Wyatt has served on the Board of Governor’s Athletics Report Review Committee. He has served in numerous advisory roles with the president’s office regarding system-wide academic benchmarks, using retention and graduation rates for all students attending UNC system institutions. He has also provided insight and guidance on how to integrate the NCAA APR data into the system’s athletics reporting database.

Wyatt received a bachelor of science degree in psychology from Atlantic Christian College (now Barton College) in 1982 and master of science degree in Sports Coaching from the United States Sports Academy in 1987.

SPARTAN SUCCESSStudent-athletes at UNCG have enjoyed a tremendous amount of success over the

years. Although the athletic department just celebrated its 40th season last year, athletics at UNCG date back to the 1940s in the days before the university became co-ed.

Golfer Nancy Porter, who went on to a successful pro career, is regarded as one of UNCG’s first student-athletes, competing in tournaments on the national level in the late 1940s.

In 1963, as the university prepared to go co-ed, UNCG began to formally organize athletic teams. Women’s basketball, under head coach Ellen Griffin, women’s tennis, women’s golf and field hockey were started. LPGA Hall of Famer Carol Mann was on one of the early UNCG women’s golf teams.

In 1967, UNCG began men’s athletics and the intercollegiate athletics program received formal recognition from the University. In the fall of 1967, the Spartan was adopted as the program’s mascot.

In 1968, UNCG’s men’s teams joined the Dixie Athletic Conference, known today as the USA South Conference on the NCAA Division III level. Women’s teams competed as part of the AIAW early on, with UNCG being one of the lead organizers of the organization. Two of the first men’s sports were basketball and bowling.

In 1971, with the emergence of the five-player rule in women’s basketball, UNCG finished fourth in the National Collegiate Tournament.

Two years later, the women’s golf team won the AIAW national title – UNCG’s first-ever team national crown. Porter coached the squad and future professional golfer Donna Horton White was on the squad.

Since then, UNCG has enjoyed a number of successes:• Five national titles in men’s soccer during the 1980s and a runner-up finish in

women’s tennis. • An unprecedented five-year move from Division III to Division II to Division I. • A trip to the “Big Dance” – the NCAA men’s basketball tournament – in just its fifth

year of Division I status. • Men’s soccer coach Michael Parker and women’s basketball coach Lynne Agee

were the first to lead teams to the NCAA tournament in all three divisions. • A baseball squad built from scratch by Mike Gaski that made it to the NCAA

tournament in just its fifth season of play. • A men’s soccer program that conquered all comers for two months to become the

No. 1 team in the nation in 2004, the beginning of UNCG’s three straight NCAA tournament Round of 16 appearances and four in five years.

• Kyle Hines, who became just the sixth player in college basketball history to record 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 300 blocked shots in a career.

• Individuals like wrestler Dock Kelly, who overcame birth defects that left him without legs qualifying for the NCAA Championship.

• Students like Siggi Eyjolffson, who earned Academic All-American honors three times.

From major league pitcher Brian Moehler to MLS champion Alejandro Moreno to LPGA star Becky Morgan, Spartan alumni have gone on to successful careers in sports. That success isn’t just limited to the playing field, either. The late Doug Hamilton was one of the pioneers within MLS and played on the UNCG national championship teams of the 1980s. Eyjolffson returned to his native Iceland and is one of the top people in his native country’s soccer f e d e r a t i o n , c u r r e n t l y serving as their women’s national team head coach.

S p a r t a n athletics has had its success stories over the years … and the best is yet to come.
