Season Preview

After continuing to make strides under the leadership of fifth-year head coach Shameika McField in the 2010-11 campaign, the UMKC track and field program will look to do same in 2011-12.

On the men’s side, it will return 22 members including the 2010 Summit League Indoor Championship MVP, junior Cosmas Ayabei, along with the addition of five freshmen.

Along with Ayabei, senior’s Charles Andrews, D.C. Okonta, Dontay Taylor, Redell Frazier and junior Ramon Nelson will lead this crop of athletes throughout the year.

As for the women, the ‘Roos will return 23 members from last year’s squad with the addition of five freshmen and three transfers.

Notable returnees are two-time (2009, 2011) Outdoor Summit League Javelin winner senior Kimoya Harriot, sophomore Roxanne Koke, senior Denise Banda, senior Aubrey Frederking, junior Shakira Thomas and sophomore Chelsea Richardson.

Event BreakdownThrows

(Men) Coming into this season, the men will have six athletes compete in the throws event led by Ramon Nelson. Last season, Nelson continued to make a name for himself with some prolific performances.

In the shot put event at the Summit League Indoor Championships, Nelson finished with a mark of 54-00 (16.46), the best performance in UMKC indoor track and field history.

Earlier in the year at the Mule Relays, Nelson placed third in the weight throws competition with a mark of 57-02.25 (17.43), the fourth best performance in UMKC indoor track and field history. In addition, he was the top UMKC finisher in each shot put event last season.

Along with Nelson, senior Charles Andrews and sophomore Kris Leverette will provide depth as they did last season.

Coming in as a transfer from Coffeyville Junior College (KS), Andrews made an immediate impact. In the K.T. Woodman Invitational, the Jackson, Miss. native finished eighth in the discus event with a mark of 147-00 (44.81), the fifth best performance in UMKC outdoor track and field history.

Later in the year, Andrews finished third in the hammer event at the Ward Haylett Invitational with a mark of 178-04 (54-36), the third best performance in UMKC outdoor track and field history.

Leverette had a solid freshman season headlined by a first place finish in the weight throws event at the BVU Dennis Young Clas-sic with a mark of 58-04.00 (17.78), the second best in UMKC indoor track and field history.

The rest of the throws group will consist of junior Max Carroll, freshman Cade Lambson, and sophomore Blaine Scott.

(Women) On the other side, the women will have five athletes compete in the throwing event’s this season, led by junior Susan Brueggemann.

In the shot put event during the indoor season, Brueggemann finished in the top five four times. In the outdoor season, she had five top-five finishes in the shot put, including finishing first at the CMU Breast Cancer Awareness Invite.

In the shot put at the Summit League Outdoor Championships, Brueggemann finished fifth with a mark of 44-04.00 (13.51), the best performance in UMKC outdoor track and field history.

Along with Brueggemann, senior Denise Banda, senior Kimoya Harriott, and sophomore Roxanne Koke are coming off good seasons as well.

In her first season as a Kangaroo, after transferring from Coffeyville Community College (KS), senior Denise Banda broke into the UMKC record books.

In the hammer event at the K.T. Woodman Invitational, Banda finished with a mark of 157-03 (47.92), the third best performance in UMKC outdoor track and field history.

As for Harriott, she captured her second-career gold medal in the javelin event at the Summit League Outdoor Championships.

Koke’s freshman season was headlined by a silver medal winning performance in the weight throw at the Summit League Indoor Championships.

The lone freshman in the group, Dahlia Dyson, will look to contribute heavily throughout the season.

Distance/Middle Distance

(Men) This group of ‘Roos will feature plenty of experience and leadership with junior Cosmas Ayabei leading the way.

Last season, Ayabei continued his successful career as a Kangaroo by capturing two gold medals along with being named the MVP at the Summit League Indoor Championships.


Later in the year at the Summit League Outdoor Championships, the Kenya native captured a gold medal in the 10,000-meter run. In addition, he recorded the top performances in UMKC outdoor track and field history in the 3,000-meter, 5,000-meter, and 10,000-meter run events.

As for the rest of distance/middle runners, it features three sophomores (Alloch Burton, Dirk Hudson, and Chris Cornell), two juniors (Daniel Mann and Zach Mathias) and three seniors (Brandon Leibold, Brett Guemmer, and Redell Frazier Jr.).

For the sophomores, Burton competed in only indoor of last season, recording two fifth place finishes in the 3,000-meter at the Iowa State Open and Iowa State Holiday Preview.

As for Hudson, he plans to build off a solid freshman season in the mile, 1,000-meter, 3,000-meter and 5,000-meter in both the indoor and outdoor seasons.

Chris Cornell competed in only the indoor season in 2011-12 with his best performance coming at the Missouri Invitational in the 1,000-meter run event, where he finished third with a time of 2:41.79.

Mann has competed in a plethora of events over his career including the 4x300-meter and 4x400-meter relay events. Last season, he was a part of a squad who finished fifth in the 4x400-meter relay event at the Summit League Outdoor Championships.

Zach Mathias best performance last season came in 3,000-meter at the Razorback Spring Invitational when he finished with the third best time (8:36:03) in UMKC track and field outdoor history. Earlier in the year, Mathias finished first in the mile run competition at the BVU Dennis Young Classic as well.

For seniors Guemmer and Leibold, they are coming off solid seasons and are looking to build off that success.

Guemmer season was highlighted by a second place finish (33:04.04) in the 10,000-meter run event at the Missouri Relays and a fifth place finish (4:36.85) in the mile run event at the Mis-souri Invitational.

Leibold’s 2010-11 season was highlighted by a fourth place finish (4:29.20) in the mile run event at the Missouri Invitational and a first place finish (32:42.20) in the 10,000-meter run event

at the Missouri Relays.

As for Frazier, he will look to make an impact after sitting out his junior year.

(Women) The women distance/middle distance athletes are a good mixture

of young and veteran runners, as newcomers Siara Stahl and Courtney

Frerichs will look to follow the lead of the upperclassmen.

The sophomores return three athletes with Meg Doss, Taylor Spencer, and

Angel Gannon in the picture.

Doss’ season was headlined by a fourth place finish (11:34.86) in the

3,000-meter run event at the Iowa State Holiday Preview.

Spencer and Gannon will look

to build off solid freshman campaigns in the 2011-12.

The lone junior distance/middle distance female athlete, Sarah

Meiners, had her best season as a Kan-garoo in 2010-11. The Union, Mo. native

had two first place finishes with one com-ing in the Iowa State Open in the 3,000-meter

(10:40.14) and the other in the 5,000-meter (17:57.27) at the Missouri Relays.

Other notable performances for Meiners included a second place finish (37:10.90) in the 10,000-meter, the fourth best performance in this event in UMKC outdoor track and field history.

The two senior distance/middle distance athletes are Jylian Jaloma and Aubrey Frederking.

In the mile event at the BVU Dennis Young Classic, Jaloma finished first with a time of 5:05.02. She also finished second (17:30.89) in the 5,000-meters at the K.T. Woodson Invitational, the second best performance in UMKC outdoor track and field history.

Continuing her success, Jaloma recorded the third best time (10:11.11) in the 3,000-meters in UMKC outdoor track and field history at the Razorback Spring Invitational.

In indoor competition, Jaloma along with three other Kangaroo athletes including Frederking, finished with the best time ever (12:09.59) in the distance medley relay event in UMKC indoor

track and field history at the Iowa State Classic.

As for Frederking, she finished first place in two events last season. In the 1,000-meters at the BVU Dennis Young Classic, the Plainville, Kan. native, finished first with a time of 3:00.59.

Earlier in the year at the CMU Breast Cancer Awareness Invite, Frederking finished first (2:17.06) in the 800-meters.

Adding to her list of accomplish-ments last season, Frederking had two third place finishes in the 1,500-meters, including a school-best performance at the K.T. Woodman Invite. Frederking finished with a time of 4:36.36, the best finish in a 1,500-meters in UMKC outdoor track and field history.

Frederking also recorded the best time (5:01.96) in UMKC indoor track and field history in the mile with her performance at the Iowa State Classic.

Jumps

(Men) Leading the way for male jumpers this season will be seniors D.C. Okonta and Dontay Taylor. The lone male freshman jumper for the Kangaroos this season is Mishael Reaws by way of Grandview, Mo.

Okonta’ s 2010-11 campaign was a good one as he finished first in four triple jump events and second in another. In addition, he recorded the fourth best performance in UMKC outdoor track and field history with a mark of 49-05.50 (15.07) at the WSU BCS Buster Invitational.

In his first season as a Kangaroo after coming over from Coffeyville Community College (Kan.), Taylor competed only in the outdoor portion. His best performance was a fifth place fin-ish (21-10.75) at the Missouri Relays in the long jump event.

(Women) In 2011-12, the women jumpers will feature seven athletes, none of whom are seniors.

Beginning with juniors, Kim Nagy recorded the fourth best performance (5-05.00) in UMKC indoor track and field history in

the high jump at the Missouri Invitational. She also recorded one second place finish and two third place finishes in the high jump last season.

As for Shakira Thomas, she had two first and second place finishes along with recording two top-five UMKC track and field performances last season.

In the 55-meter dash at the BVU Dennis Young Classic, Thomas finished first with a time of 7.19. Her other first place finish

(37-04) came in the triple jump event at the UCM Classic.

Both of her second place finishes occurred at the UCM Classic in the long jump (17-02) and triple

jump events (36-03).

Thomas recorded the fifth best performance (37-7.25) in

the triple jump in UMKC outdoor track and field history. In addition, she re-

corded the fourth best performance (7.19) in the 55-meter dash in UMKC indoor track and field history.

The sophomore jumpers of Jordan Bain, Jasmine Cooper, Nakeva Glenn and Chelsea Richardson will look to build off of solid freshman seasons.

The lone freshman female jumper for the Kangaroos this sea-son is a local product from Lee’s Summit, Mo., Lynette Cotting-ham.

Sprints

(Men) The Kangaroos will have six designated male athletes in the sprints/hurdles events this season. The senior group is returning two members of the Summit League Outdoor Championship bronze medal winning 4x100-meter relay team in Kristen Hepburn and Samuel Sullivan.

In addition, Sullivan finished first (11.45) in the 100-meter dash at the ESU Mid-Week Open.

Forika McDougald II, the lone junior from Junction City, Kan., is looking to make strides in his third year in a Kangaroo uniform. As for sophomores Chandler Hannah and Andre Jones, they will gain plenty of experience after only participating in a handful of competitions last year.

Rounding out the male athletes competing in the sprints/hur-dles events this season is freshman Xavier Kenney. One of many St. Louis, Mo., natives on the Kangaroos roster, Kenney will look to have some earlier success in his first year at UMKC. (Women) On the women’s side, senior Sa’Kia Taylor will look to


build off a good junior year campaign. In indoor competition, Taylor finished first (40.43) in the 300-meter dash at the Iowa State Holiday Preview and second (58.21) in the 400-meter dash at the UCM Classic.

In addition, she finished with the second best performance (1:26.21) in the 600-yard run in UMKC indoor track and field history.

In outdoor competition, Taylor had two second place finishes, both coming in the 400-meter run. At the K.T. Woodman Invitational, she finished with a time of 56.51 and 57.47 in the Missouri Relays.

Also, she finished third in the 400-meters at the CMU Breast Cancer Awareness Invite with a time of 56:31. This performance by Thomas was the fifth best in a 400-meter in UMKC outdoor track and field history.

The other two senior’s, Danielle Olive and Autumn Scott, will look to close out their UMKC careers on a high note.

As for the sophomores, transfer Michelle Momo from Central Methodist University will add to an already strong group of sprinters/hurdlers featuring Viola Kleiser, Veronica Rollins, and Shanelle Williams.

Freshman Briana Carter, the lone freshman sprinter/hurdler, will look to carry over her successful high school career over to UMKC.

UMKC track and field . pride . unity . progress . UMKC track and field . pride . unity . progress .

Shameika McField was named the head coach for the UMKC track and field/cross country programs on March 4, 2008. Before her appoint-

ment, McField served as the interim head coach for the Kangaroos from January to March 2008. McField joined the athletics department in Sep-tember 2007 as an academic advisor.

The UMKC cross country program continued to make strides following the 2010 season, capping the season off with The Summit League Ath-lete of the Year and Championship MVP on the men’s side and sending four student-athletes to compete in the NCAA Midwest Cross Country Regional.

The women’s team ran their way to a fourth place (122 points) fin-ish, thanks to two top-12 finishes by Jylian Jaloma (10th) and Aubrey Frederking (12th). The finish was the best for the women’s program since the 1999 season, when the Kangaroos finished second. Jaloma and Frederking also earned all-Summit League second team honors and UMKC hadn’t had an all-league selection on the women’s side since 2006.

The Evolution of the Kangaroo

When choosing a mascot, the discussion usually starts with three main categories - predatory animals, historical or regional figures, or humans that represent

power and strength - and ends with a collection of the usual suspects. Thanks to Walt Disney, The Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Zoo, UMKC has a very unique mascot, but how exactly does the Kangaroo fit? As it turns out, quite well.

In 1936, the issue of a mascot was first brought up by the editors of The University - the campus newspaper for Kansas City University. Although there were no organized intercollegiate athletics teams at the time, the newspaper staff felt that KCU’s debate team - and more importantly the school itself - deserved a unique identity. During that same year, the Kansas City Zoo purchased a pair of baby Kangaroos, and The Kansas City Star lit the fire with an article titled “Kangaroo May Go To KCU ... Student Editors Believe University Should Have A Symbol.”

Others on campus were not as enthusiastic. The editors of The Crataegus - the University’s yearbook - thought that a Kangaroo was not an appropriate symbol for KCU. A proposed feature page in the 1936-37 yearbook for the Kangaroo emblem was deleted, sparking a tremendous amount of debate.

As the debate wore on, interest from the campus community began to wane. It looked as if KCU would not adopt a mascot after all. But in 1937, two events would combine to indelibly link the Kangaroo with the University and give the mascot a name.

During the student government elections in the spring semester, the CO-OP Party adopted the Kangaroo as its official mascot, naming him Kasey. With a landslide victory in April behind the slogan “Kasey fits KC”, the first part of the foundation was laid. During the same month the first issue of KCU’s humor magazine - The Kangaroo - was published, with a kangaroo gracing the cover. Six months later, a kangaroo made another appearance on the cover of The Kangaroo, and although it wasn’t a solo appearance, it put a quick end to the debate over whether a kangaroo was an appropriate mascot for KCU.

Missouri native and famed cartoonist Walt Disney provided the artwork for the cover illustration, which featured Mickey Mouse shaking hands with Kasey Kangaroo. In a matter of a few years, The Kangaroo thrived while The Crataegus floundered, with the latter eventually folding. The Kangaroo became the University’s yearbook and the Kangaroo became the official mascot of Kansas City University.

Kasey has undergone several changes over the years, with the most recent metamorphosis led by UMKC Director of Athletics Tim Hall. With the help of local advertising agency Bernstein-Rein, UMKC developed a set of new athletics marks in the spring of 2008. After a community vote, the new Kangaroo logo was unveiled in May. With its aggressive snarl, the new Kangaroo capitalizes on UMKC’s mission to be an outstanding urban university while keeping mindful of the traditions established in 1937.

The first incarnation

of Kasey Kangaroo

was inked by Marceline, Mo., native

Walt Disney, and featured

the KCU mascot

alongside a somewhat

more famous rodent.

Tim Hall was named the UMKC Director of Athletics on Feb. 14, 2007. In this role, he serves as a member of the Chancellor’s executive cabinet, and is responsible for leading the strategic direction in growing the university’s intercollegiate athletics program.

In Hall’s first three full years in Kansas City, UMKC has enjoyed a record amount of success on the fields of competition, in the classroom, and in the Kansas City community. These successes were reinforced by the NCAA in 2009, as UMKC Athletics received full NCAA certification without condition. The certification showed that the University is operating its athletics program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the NCAA Division I membership and is valid for the next 10 years.

From an athletics standpoint, Hall led the ‘Roos to their most successful year since 2000 in 2008-09 and the ‘Roos continued excelling in 2009-10. UMKC claimed a pair of Summit League titles in men’s soccer and men’s tennis, while also earning the runner-up nod in both men’s and women’s golf, which led to a record 2009 finish in the annual Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup.

During the 2010 campaign, the men’s tennis team won The Summit League regular season title and the men’s golf program was the league runner-up. This helped the men’s teams finish fourth in the Dr. William Steinbrecher Men’s All Sports Award standings, the best showing since 2001-02. Overall, the ‘Roos moved up to sixth place in the Commissioner’s Cup standings, which was the highest finish since 2006-07.

In the classroom, the department posted a 3.10 cumulative grade point as of the spring 2010 semester and eight programs finished with at least a 3.0 GPA. Additionally, UMKC finished with a 958.7 APR average and the volleyball team received the NCAA public recognition award.

Internally, Hall has been hard at work to align the department with peer institutions and the NCAA. He restructured the rules compliance office to be more in line with NCAA rules and the Student-Athlete Support Services Office to better assist and prepare Kangaroo student-athletes. He also continues to work with new UMKC Chancellor Leo Morton to craft the athletics’ strategic plan in concert with the University’s new strategic goals.

From a fund raising standpoint, Kangaroo Athletics have never been better. In 2008, UMKC received a $5 million pledge from the Stanley H. Durwood Foundation, the largest gift in Athletics’ and the fourth-largest gift in University history. The resulting Stanley H. Durwood Soccer Stadium and Recreational Field opened in August 2009 and is among the premier soccer facilities in the Midwest region.

Additional facility improvements have included revamped locker rooms and lounges for men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball and the retro-fitting of Old Swinney Gymnasium, which provides the basketball and volleyball programs with a first-class practice facility. The project was funded through $500,000 of private support.

Hall also was instrumental in the renovation of the Swinney Recreation Center with the installation of new seatback bleachers and new scoreboards, which enhances the venue for the men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs. The renovation allows the men’s basketball squad to move its games back on campus full-time for the 2010-11 season.

Hall is also in the midst of a partnership with the Kansas City Parks Department to build a sports complex that will house both indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a 200-meter indoor track and a softball field.

On an annual basis, the Kangaroo Athletics Scholarship Fund, which was rebranded prior to the 2007-08 school year, has posted three straight years of 50 percent growth, while donor participation is up over 200 percent. He also increased the department’s total sponsorships and gift-in-kind assistance to over $1.5 million and cash and trade sponsorships have increased 265 percent since 2008. Additionally, Hall has increased UMKC’s external support by 45 percent over fiscal year 2009 from $1.6 to $2.4 million. Hall also has also reconnected with over 200 former ‘Roos with the former student-athlete association.

In the community, Hall has been active in an effort to get more community leaders involved in the Athletics Department. Hall restructured the Athletics Foundation Board in 2009 by adding representatives from a number of Kansas City-based businesses such as Cerner, Kansas City Southern Railways, Lathrop Gage LLC, and Mark One Electric. New partnerships have come quickly to Kangaroo Athletics, including television (Niles Media Group) and radio (810 WHB) agreements that ensure a continued presence within the Kansas City region. Renowned local advertising firm Bernstein-Rein produced a redesigned athletics logo and graphics set, while additional contractual agreements have also been signed with adidas, Truman Medical Centers, Pepsi, T-Mobile and JumpTV to better serve the department’s student-athletes.

Hall continues to bring leadership to UMKC and The Summit League. In addition to his role on the Chancellor’s Executive Cabinet, Hall serves on The Summit League Joint Council leadership committee and sits on the league’s men’s basketball scheduling committee and the men’s and women’s soccer coaches committees. Additionally, Hall is also in the second of a three-year term on the NACDA Division 1-AAA Executive Committee and serves on the NCAA volleyball rules committee.

Hall came to Kansas City after serving as the Associate Athletics Director for Development at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, from 2003-07. While at KSU, he was a member of the athletics senior administrative staff, working in all phases of departmental management including game and personnel contracts, scheduling, budget, policy and strategic planning.

In this role, Hall created and implemented a comprehensive restructuring of the athletic advancement unit, resulting in the creation of the Office of Athletic Advancement. He increased fundraising by more than 33 percent, helped secure the largest gift to date in the history of KSU athletics, a $1.53 million gift for the baseball stadium renovation, and raised more than $16.1 million.

Prior to moving back to Ohio, Hall worked at Eastern Kentucky University from 2000-03. Hall began work as the collegiate Director for Development in 2000 before being promoted to the Director of Major Gifts and Special Projects in 2001. In this capacity, he raised over $4.6 million for the university, including $1.3 million for athletics.

Hall also served as the Assistant Director of Development at Saint Xavier University in Chicago from September 1999 through October 2000. At Saint Xavier, Hall managed fundraising efforts for a $13 million Athletic and Convention Center. He also managed the President’s Club, and developed and implemented the Cougar Club, an athletics affinity group.

Before moving to Chicago, Hall worked at Youngstown State University as an Assistant Director of Athletic Development from 1997-99. In this role, he helped the university complete its successful $26 million capital campaign. Hall also began his collegiate career at YSU, serving in the school’s athletic marketing and promotions office.

Hall earned his bachelor’s degree in sports administration from the University of Toledo in 1994. He then received his master’s degree in sports administration from Kent State University in 1998.

Hall and his wife, Beth, have four children, Aidan, Aislin, Donovan and Landon, and they reside in Kansas City, Mo.

The home of UMKC Athletics, Swinney Recreation Center is also one of the finest fitness centers in all of Kansas City. Created through a $14.5 million addition to the old Swinney Gymnasium, the center includes five basketball courts, four racquet ball courts, a 25-meter indoor/outdoor pool and three exercise rooms - two weight rooms and a cardio room.

The competition court serves as the home venue for UMKC volleyball in the fall, UMKC women’s basketball and select men’s basketball contests during the winter. It is also the main practice venue for the men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams.

Kangaroo student-athletes enjoy some of the finest locker room facilities in The Summit League courtesy of a major renovation undertaken prior to the 2007-08 school year. Along with providing each student-athlete their own individual locker space, the facility also features a player’s lounge that includes leather couches and a big screen television. In addition, the lounge is equipped with a computer workstation with a high-speed internet connection.

Original Old Swinney Gymnasium, affectionately known as “Old Swinney”, which is part of the Swinney Recreation Center received a face lift in the summer of 2010. The renovation transforms the Old Swinney Gymnasium into a modern, collegiate practice facility that will better serve the student body, faculty and staff members and community members, as well as provide outstanding training opportunities for ‘Roo student-athletes.

The $500,000 renovation plan calls for new basketball/volleyball court flooring and basketball standards and volleyball nets to be installed in the existing facility. The current skylights in the building will also be altered, which will allow for modified lighting to be put into place. The entire Old Swinney interior will be updated and scoreboards will be installed.

The Kangaroo Athletics Scholar-ship Fund (KASF) supports the

student-athletes of UMKC through the offsetting of expenses such as scholarships, travel, recruiting, and equipment. As costs continue to rise, support for our student-athletes through the KASF becomes more crucial as we continue to build an elite Summit League athletics depart-ment.

For the 2011-12 academic year, student-athlete scholarship ex-penses are expected to include: • Tuition (out-of-state): $17,692 • Room and Board: $10,130 • Tuition (in-state): $6,876 • Books and Fees: $1,612

In addition, over the past year it has become extremely difficult for budgets to keep pace with rising travel and food costs. While athletics must be vigilant in cost containment, we must continue to provide for the best possible student-athlete experience. That is where the KASF donors can play such a tremendous role.

Donors to the KASF enjoy a number of benefits based on their donor level, including Priority Seating, access to the pre-game Kangaroo Club hospitality parties at men’s basketball games, in-vitations to a number of events, complimentary media guides and gifts, and exclusive opportunities to meet the student-athletes, staff, coaches, and University leadership.

“Ascending” and “improving” are adjectives frequently used in media coverage of The Summit League as it continues a renaissance on the playing eld and in the classroom. As The Summit League celebrates its 30th anniversary season as an NCAA Division I athletics conference, the level of

performance and achievement among the 11 member institutions and over 3,000 student-athletes in 19 championship sports continues to grow. Since 2007, The Summit League has produced 39 All-Americans and 28 Academic All-America selections along with three NCAA Champions, two NBA Draft choices and one Olympic Silver medalist. Headlining The Summit League’s most recent history were the additions of the University of South Dakota and the University of Nebraska Omaha to its membership. USD joined in 2009 and the 2011-12 academic year marks its rst year of full league competition. UNO’s membership took effect on July 1, 2011 and it will begin league competition in 2012-13. The Summit League’s visibility continues to expand on several fronts. The 2011 Baseball Championship drew a record number of fans after another successful Summit League Basketball Championship totaled the second-highest attendance gure in league history. Television exposure also increased with the broadcasts of four Summit League sport championships in 2010-11, including the second consecutive season that all 14 men’s and women’s basketball tournament games were televised live. Additionally, The Summit League Outdoor Track and Field Championships were televised for the rst time and the league’s entire Baseball Tournament was carried live, marking another rst. National reach of The Summit League was furthered when three member institutions hosted 2010-11 NCAA Championship events. IUPUI was a quad-host for the Women’s Basketball Final Four, UMKC co-hosted the Volleyball Championship and Oakland hosted the Great Lakes Cross Country Regional Championship. In men’s basketball, The Summit League ranked No. 18 in the Sagarin Ratings, placing four teams among the top 150 and six in the top 200. In the Mid-Major Top 25 poll, league champion Oakland ranked No. 5 with two rst-place votes entering the NCAA Tournament, putting them ahead of two Final Four participants, including the national runner-up. Women’s basketball joined the men in sending multiple teams to the postseason with three teams advancing for the second-straight year, including Oral Roberts, which reached the WNIT’s round of 16 to match the league’s deepest run in that tournament. Individually on the hardwood, Oakland’s Keith Benson was selected in the 2011 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks and on the women’s side, Oral Roberts’ Kevi Luper became the rst player in history to lead the NCAA in both points per game and steals per game in the same season. Several teams continued impressive championship streaks within the league in 2010-11. Oral Roberts, which nished the season nationally-ranked, won its 14th-straight baseball title, tying for the second-longest streak in NCAA history. Oakland captured its 12th-consecutive men’s and women’s swimming and diving titles while North Dakota State won its fourth-straight men’s and women’s indoor track and eld championships and its third softball crown in a row. South Dakota State became the rst women’s basketball team to win three consecutive league championships. The Summit League enjoyed a successful track and eld season with eight All-Americans, including six at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Oral Roberts’ Jack Whitt led the way by nishing as runner-up in the pole vault at the Outdoor Championships after placing third indoors. Two Summit Leaguers, North Dakota State’s Amy Anderson and Whitney Carlson, each received the prestigious NCAA Elite 88 Award, given to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the nals site for each of the NCAA championships. Anderson went on to earn All-America status after recording the league’s highest NCAA golf nish and Carlson became the rst female athlete in league history to earn All-America honors in two events at both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships during the same year.

The accomplishments of 2010-11 came on the heels of exceptional success the previous two years. In 2009-10, IUPUI’s Chen Ni became The Summit League’s rst female NCAA Champion when she took rst in the platform dive. Oakland’s Keith Benson was named the Lou Henson Award winner as the men’s basketball Mid-Major Player of the Year. The preceding year, Oral Roberts track star Andretti Bain won a silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics as a member of the Bahamas’ 4x400-meter relay team after winning both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor 400-meter titles and IUPUI’s George Hill became The Summit League’s second NBA rst round draft pick. Originally formed in 1982 as the Association of Mid-Continent Universities and later known as the Mid-Continent Conference, The Summit League is in its fth year of rebranding that followed its 25th anniversary and coincided with the Summit Plan, a strategic plan that places a renewed emphasis on improving the academic and athletic performances of all league student-athletes. The Summit League has a combined enrollment of over 135,000 at 11 universities, ve of which are located in the top 76 U.S. media markets (Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Tulsa and Omaha). Member institutions include: IPFW (Indiana University-Purdue University-Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis), UMKC (University of Missouri-Kansas City), the University of Nebraska Omaha (which begins league competition in 2012-13), North Dakota State University, Oakland University, Oral Roberts University, the University of South Dakota (in its rst year as a full member), South Dakota State University, Southern Utah University and Western Illinois University. Eastern Illinois University is an associate member in swimming and diving and men’s soccer. League champions receive an automatic NCAA Tournament bid in all applicable sports. Since its inception in 1982, The Summit League has had several transcendent moments on the national stage. In 1986, Cleveland State upset third-seeded Indiana in the rst round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament on its way to a berth in the Sweet 16. A decade later, Valparaiso captured the nation’s attention when Bryce Drew hit “the shot” to defeat No. 4 seed Mississippi in an NCAA rst-round game and spark its Sweet 16 run. More recently, Oral Roberts’ baseball program nished the 2004 campaign with a national-ranking and became the rst Summit League school to reach an NCAA Super Regional in 2006. Three years later, North Dakota State’s 2009 softball team became the rst to advance to the Super Regional round. During the 2008-09 basketball season, South Dakota State’s women’s team was nationally-ranked throughout the year and recorded an NCAA Tournament victory. The Summit League has produced ve NCAA champions, four Olympic athletes and several All-Americans in the sports of track and eld, swimming and diving and cross country. Numerous professional players and several draft choices have come directly from The Summit League, including three Major League Baseball rst round picks, a pair of NBA rst rounders, and one WNBA selection. Former Summit Leaguer Kevin Duckworth (NBA) was a two-time all-star during his professional career. Recent and historical success coupled with an increased growth among its membership base gives The Summit League a promising future on the landscape of college athletics.
