Coach Weaver is in his 32nd season as the Head Coach and Director of the women’s track and cross country program and in his 19th season as the Director for both the women’s and men’s programs. Weaver assumed the duties of directing both programs in the Fall of 1995.

A 1971 graduate of Appalachian in Biology, Weaver returned in 1979 as a graduate assistant in the men’s program while earning his Masters in Biology. During his three year tenure as the men’s assistant, he trained two NCAA qualifiers and seven Southern Conference champions.

Weaver took over the full-time coaching duties for the women’s program in 1982. He is the only full time Head Coach the women’s program has had since its beginnings. Since that time, the program including cross country, indoor track and outdoor track has produced a NCAA Division I National Champion in the 1500m twice, 9 NCAA Division I All-Americans with 23 All-American performances, 24 NCAA Division I Qualifiers, 373 Southern Conference individual champion performances, 928 All-Conference performances, 34 conference MVP athletes, 45 conference team championships, 27 conference coach-of-the-year honors, 28 conference freshmen-of-the-year honors and a Southeast Region Coach-of-the-Year honor twice. The women’s program has accomplished 7 triple crowns, winning the SoCon title in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track in the same academic year. The women won 20 straight SoCon Championships from 1987 to 1993. Mountaineer women currently hold 6

SoCon Indoor Individual Event Records and 10 SoCon Outdoor Individual Event Records

After Weaver took over the men’s program in 1995, the Mountaineers have produced 10 NCAA Division I All-Americans, 9 NCAA All-American performances, 34 Division I Qualifiers, 178 Southern Conference individual champion performances, 654 all-conference perfor-mances, 29 conference MVP athletes, 30 conference team championships, 15 coach-of-the-year honors, 59 conference freshmen of the year honors and one Southeast Region Coach of the Year honor. The men’s program has accomplished 4 triple crowns and Mountaineer men currently hold 5 SoCon Indoor Individual Event Records and 11 SoCon Outdoor Individual Event Records

Appalachian has qualified 65 men and 45 women athletes to the East Region with 8 NCAA Championships qualifying performances coming out of the region for Appalachian. In 2004, Appalachian had it’s first East Region champion with a first place in the 100m dash for men.

Under Coach Weaver’s direction, the Mountaineer men and women have won 75 SoCon team titles, produced one NCAA National Individual Champion (twice), 14 NCAA All-Ameri-cans with 31 All-American performances, 58 NCAA Championship Qualifiers, 62 SoCon MVPs, 551 SoCon Individual Event Champions, 1582 All-SoCon performances, 28 SoCon Freshman of the Year awards, 101 All-SoCon Freshman Team awards, 42 SoCon Coach of the Year hon-ors and 3 Southeast Region Coach of the Year honors.

Coach Weaver has also worked as the Yosef Club Director (athletic fundraising arm of the App Foundation, Inc.) from 1982 to 1985. He has also taught classes in the Education and Physical Education departments of the University. A native of Fayetteville, North Carolina, Weaver graduated from Seventy-First High School in 1967. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in 1971 from Appalachian, returning to Fayetteville to teach Biology and eventually take over the cross country and track programs at Douglas Byrd High School in 1972. His cross country dual meet record over eight years was 71-11 and his teams won 6 conference titles while competing in 4 state meet championships. His track teams produced many individual conference and regional champions along with several state meet qualifiers.

Currently, Coach Weaver coaches the long sprints (400m/800m), javelin, hurdlers and multi-event athletes while overseeing all aspects of the track and cross country program as its Director. Coach Weaver served on the NCAA Division I Track and Cross Country Committee from September of 2006 until September of 2010. He currently serves on the NCAA Track and Field Rules Committee and is a member of the USTFCCCA Championship Advisory Com-mitte and serves as the 2nd Vice President on the USTFCCCA Executive Committee.

During the summer of 2012, Coach Weaver was chosen as the sprints and hurdles coach for the USA National Under 23 team that competed in Mexico.

Each summer, Weaver directs the Grandfather Mountain Marathon, The Bear Race and two Cross Country Team Camps. Over 900 athletes attend camp at Appalachian each summer for cross country and track events. Coach Weaver is married to Cynthia Harmon of Lenoir, North Carolina and has two sons, Chase (27) and Jay (25) both graduates of Appalachian.

Mike Curcio is in his 20th year as the head men’s and women’s cross country coach and track distance coach at Appalachian. During his four years as a student/athlete at Ap-palachian, he was a member of eight Southern Conference Championship first-place teams and has been a part of 51 SoCon Championship first-place teams since the beginning of his coaching tenure 19 years ago. The fall of 2014 was the inaugural season in the Sun Belt for the Mountaineer cross country teams with the women and men taking second-place each. The Apps were led by three all-conference performances for the women along with four all-conference for the men. The men were a meager two points out of first, while the women made it a battle losing by nine points. The men return seven of the eight team members with the women returning six of the eight team members. During thre track and field season, Curcio coached five athletes to top six finishes in dis-tance events at indoor and outdoor SoCon championships. McFoy placed third two times in the 5,000m run, while Tristin Van Ord took fifth in the women’s 5,000m. The 2012-13 seasons proved to be another banner year for the cross country, indoor track and outdoor track distance athletes. The first time since 2002, both the men’s and women’s cross country teams won SoCon titles. Ironically, this was accomplished in Charleston, SC, the site of the previous sweep in 2002. Three of the men’s team and three of the women’s team earned All-SoCon honors for their hard work. Coach Curcio was recog-nized by his peers with Coach of the Year honors for men and women. Coach Curcio’s cross country teams have enjoyed a string of successes in the men’s program with 11 SoCon championships out of 17 since 1997. This includes six straight championships since 2005. The women’s program has won two SoCon championships since 1997. Curcio has been tabbed the SoCon Cross Country Coach of the Year 10 times for the men and once for the women. Along with these honors in cross country, Coach Curcio in 2003 was named the USTCA Division I Men’s National Assistant Coach of the Year for Distance. Since taking the reins of the distance program, he has coached nine NCAA qualifiers, 16 NCAA 1st Round qualifiers, 22 USTFCCCA Junior National qualifiers and 7 Southern Confer-ence freshmen of the year. In addition, Coach Curcio coached 90 All-SoCon cross country athletes and 4 SoCon individual champions. Along with those outstanding numbers, he has coached athletes to 63 SoCon indoor and outdoor individual titles while his athletes have garnered 214 All-SoCon honors in both indoor and outdoor track. To go with that list

of accomplishment for his athletes, you can add 2 athletes earning SoCon indoor track MVP laurels and 2 athletes earning the same honor outdoors. As athletic excellence is important, Coach Curcio’s teams also strive for success in the classroom. Athlete’s in Coach Curcio’s program have been honored with academic awards. Two have received NCAA post-graduate scholarships, one received a SoCon post-graduate scholarship while three have received the Jim Brakefield award for the graduating senior with the highest GPA among athletes at Appalachian. In addition, 15 of his athletes have earned USTFCCCA Academic All-American honors. During this new era of APR reports (Academic Progress Reports) mandated by the NCAA, both the men’s and women’s cross country teams recorded APR scores well above the na-tional average. The men’s team has been recognized with a NCAA Public Recognition Award for compiling a four-year APR of 1,000 ( a perfect score) and ranking among the top 10% of all teams in the nation. Prior to taking his current position at Appalachian, Curcio was an assistant at Florida State from 1988-1992. In the Spring of 1993, he became an assistant at South Florida where he helped build the track program and a nationally ranked cross country program. The track women at USF won 3 conference titles in the first four years of the program. The men’s and women’s cross country teams were ranked 12th and 21st at one time in Division I during his time at USF. Curcio hails from New York where he attended Newfield High School before attending and competing for Appalachian State. He was a 3-time All-SoCon selection in track and still ranks seventh all-time in the 1500m with a time of 3:49.60. He still shares Appalachian recordholder status in the indoor 4x800m, 4x1500m and two mile relay.

Damion McLeanhorizontal Jumps/sprints/strength & conDtioning


12th Year

With eleven years of coaching experience, Damion McLean brings a wealth of knowledge about coaching, strengthening, and training effectively suc-cessful athletes in Track & Field within the Southern Conference (“SoCon”). A 2002 graduate of Appalachian State University, McLean was a two-time Conference Champion in the long jump in both indoor and outdoor track and qualified for the NCAA Championships in 2001. He holds the third highest mark on Appalachian’s All-Time Long Jump list with a mark of 25’1” (personal best of 26’). Additionally, McLean was part of the indoor record in the 4x300m relay. His collegiate resume was balanced with performances in the triple jump, high jump, 100m, and the 4x100 relay. During his fifth season (2002), McLean served as an undergraduate track assistant for sprints, hurdles, and jumps. He graduated in May of 2002 and worked in advertising before return-ing to Boone to become a full-time coach.

In the past eleven years, McLean has produced 36 SoCon Champions, 87 All-Conference performances, six SoCon MVP’s, 25 Regional standard perfor-mances, 13 NCAA qualifiers from five competitors, 10 USATF Championship/Olympic Trial Qualifiers, App State record holders in the indoor long jump: Vonteena Knotts (20’10.50”); triple jump: Ronda White (44’2”); 300m: Breanna Alston (38.50), and SoCon Indoor and Outdoor record holders in triple jump: Ronda White (43’7”) and Danielle Thorpe (43’2.25”). In such a short timeframe, McLean’s athletes own 34 of 80 Men’s and Women’s top 10 Indoor and Out-door track and field marks in App State history.

The sprinters under McLean have shown vast improvement under his guidance. Key accomplishments include:• Breanna Alston broke the 300m(i), 400m(o), Women’s 4x400m, Sprint med-ley in 2014• Assisted Men’s 4x100m relay placed 14th at the 2012 NCAA Championships

with a school record of 39.70.

The strength program for the sprinters, jumpers, and hurdlers has been under the tutelage of McLean since 2002. Maintaining a coaching perspec-tive during practice, he transfers what will be beneficial for the athletes to the weight room. App State greats include, but are not limited to, Ernest Wiggins (10.18, Olympic Trail (“OT”) competitor), Ronda White (20’1”, 44’2”, OT competi-tor), Jennifer Claud, Charles Derrickson, Vonteena Knotts, and Joel Gaddy have all seen the positive aspects that came from the strength program.

McLean presents various coaching techniques and methods at an annual speaking engagement for the NCTCCCA, is a member of the USATF and UST-FCCC Associations, has his USATF Level 2 Certification in the Jumps, Sprints & Relays, and attended the Emerging Elite Coaches Clinic at the Olympic Training Center in San Diego, CA (2009).

Appalachian State University men’s indoor track and field is set to kickoff its 2014-15 season after coming off a successful 2013-14 campaign. The Mountaineers will look to build off of their second-place finish at last year’s Southern Con-ference indoor chamionships and third-place finish at the outdoor championships in their first year in the Sun Belt Conference. Head coach John Weaver enters his 33rd season at the helm of Appalachian State Univer-sity women’s cross country and track coach and his 19th season as the director of both the men and women’s cross country and track teams.

SPRINTS The Mountaineers will return many who contributed toward the second-place finish last indoor season. The Apps will bring back its entire second-place 4x400m relay team of Raphael Rojas, Joshua Hanna, Trey Edgerton and Stanley Broaden. Rojas, Hanna and Edgerton were big con-tributors in the 400m dash with second, fifth and seventh-place finishes, respectively. Marshall McRae will also return to a stacked roster with tremendous depth. Last year, McRae finished second in the 60m dash with a person-al-best time of 6.85. William Buckley finished seventh in the same race, while also placing fourth in the 200m dash for the Mountaineers.

HURDLES Senior Stanley Broaden will return for the Mountaineers after a great start to his Appala-chian career. The Wilmington, N.C. native placed first in the 60m hurdles during the 2012-13 indoor championships for his first title. He followed that performance up with two SoCon titles during the 2013 outdoor season as he finished first in the 110m hurdles and the 400m hurdles. Broaden ranks fourth all-time in the 400m hurdles.

MIDDLE DISTANCE The Black and Gold will be led by Raphael Rojas who continued his success from his sophomore campaign last season. At the SoCon indoor championships, Rojas placed second as a member of the 4x400m relay and second in the 400m dash. At the SoCon outdoor championships he finished second as a member of the 4x400m relay, third in the 400m dash with PR of 47.96 ... finished first a the Georgia Invite in the 800m run and then 20th at the Georgia Tech Invite.

DISTANCE Kyle McFoy and Chris Anderson will return, along with Michael Ellis in what will be an experienced group of distance runners coming back. All three enjoyed successful cross country seasons and will look to build off of their all-conference honors in the Sun Belt this fall. McFoy placed third in the 5,000m run, while Anderson placed sixth last season at the SoCon indoor championships. Freshmen Ryan Shannon, Chris Kelly, Collin Loy and Cade Zimmerman will also contribute this season after strong cross country debut seasons.

THROWS The Moutaineers will return solid depth in terms of throwers. Nathan Milch returns as a sophomore and a SoCon outdoor shot put cham-pion. Milch threw a personal-best 51-10.50, while also placing third in the discus with another personal-best of 150-7.00. John Leonard comes back for the Mountain-eers after finishing fourth last indoor season in the weight throw with a personal-best of 52-9.50.

JUMPS Senior Henry Bustle will look to lead the Mountaineers after placed third at the SoCon Outdoor Championships in the long jump and fifth in the triple jump. Bustle also placed fourth at the SoCon Indoor Championships in the long jump and sixth in the triple jump. Freshman Kimani Hoffman will not only look to breakout for the Mountaineers in sprints, but will also be a huge asset in the long and triple jump this season. Phillip Thomas and Matt Layne will lead the vaulters for App State in 2014-15. Thomas, a Cary, N.C. native, was the indoor pole vault champion with a vault of 15-5.00, while Layne, a Wilkesboro, N.C. native, finished in third behind Thomas with a vault of 14-11.00.

Track and Fieldappalachian STaTeHOLMES CONVOCATION CENTER KIDD BREWER STADIUM

VARSITY GYM

Appalachian indoor track & field enters its sev-enth season in the George M. Holmes Convoca-tion Center. The Holmes Center serves as home of Mountaineer indoor track and field, as well as Appalachian’s men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs. The facility houses a 300m directional mondo surface. Standing on Rivers Street at Appalachian State University, the 200,840-square foot Holmes Center serves as the cornerstone to the entry to campus and houses App’s Department of Health, Leisure and Exercise Science. The structure also includes the 8,325-seat Seby Jones Arena, which hosts a number of com-munity and cultural events in addition to Appala-chian athletics, including graduation and convo-cation ceremonies, trade shows and concerts. The facility opened on November 17, 2000 with a celebration followed by a men’s basketball contest between Appalachian and the University of North Carolina. With much anticipation, every seat for the App-UNC showdown was sold in ad-vance, marking the first pre-gameday sellout in school history for any sporting event. The athletics

ticket office sold the full allotment of tickets for the inaugural contest at the Holmes Center in just 12 minutes. Public service, a cornerstone upon which Appalachian was founded, is the hall-mark of the two individuals whom names adorn the university’s convocation center, as former App Chancellor, Francis T. Borkowski announced that the center would be called the George M. Holmes Convocation Center and its arena the Seby Jones Arena on March 20, 1999. Holmes is a Republican member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, representing the 41st District (Yadkin, Wilkes and Alexander Counties). He is the senior co-chair of the North Carolina House of Appropriations Committee. A native of Mount Airy, N.C., Holmes attended Appalachian on a football scholar-shipin the 1950’s. Holmes first entered political office from 1975-76 and has served 11 terms since 1979. He serves on the Governor’s Advisory Budget Commission, the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations and the Joint Legislative Transportation Over-sight Committee. Holmes was instrumental in securing the bulk of the $36.8 million need-ed to build the convocation center. Jones served as mayor and a council member of Raleigh from 1967-71. He also served on App’s Board of Trustees for eight years, chairing the Board in 1990-91.

The outdoor home of the Appalachian track and field team, Kidd Brewer Stadium stands 3,333 feet above sea level and seats 16,650. Also home to the football and field hockey teams, it was the first facil-ity in either North or South Carolina to install artificial turf, with Ap-palachian and Elon staging the first football game on fake grass in the Carolinas, Oct. 3, 1970. Opened Sept. 15, 1962, the stadium was originally construct-ed with 10,000 permanent seats. Seating capacity was expanded to 18,000 following the 1978 season. Completion of an extensive reno-vation and restoration project on the original 10,000 seats in 1995 readjusted the seating capacity to 16,650. A multi-purpose facility, Kidd Brewer Stadium is also home to intramural sports, while classes and the community use the facility, as well. Owens Field House, at the north end of the stadium, houses athletic and fundraising offices, locker rooms and equipment areas, along with the Dr. Hugh S. Daniel Conference Room. In 1989, a new building was added adjacent to the field house, with athletic and coaching offices, the Dr. Evan Ashby Sports Medicine Room, strength and conditioning areas, and locker rooms. The stadium is also in the midst of renovations to add a new athletic complex, slated to be completed by the fall of 2009. An addi-tion of 4,000 seats on the east side was completed in the summer of 2008. The stadium is named after Kidd Brewer, one of the Mountain-eers’ most successful head football coaches, and a colorful part of North Carolina history. Brewer, a Winston-Salem, N.C., native, served as football coach of the Mountaineers for four seasons (1935-38), compiling a 30-5-3 overall mark. An all-American backfield star at Duke University, Brew-er’s 1937 Appalachian squad was unbeaten and unscored upon in the regular season. After leaving Appalachian, Brewer started a sales career, but shortly thereafter reported for active duty in World War II. He served as a Naval lieutenant in the Pacific. After the war Brewer was secre-tary to U.S. Sen. Josiah W. Bailey (D-N.C.). Upon Bailey’s death in office Brewer served his replacement, Sen. William B. Umstead, as adminis-trative assistant. Brewer returned to North Carolina and ran for lieutenant gov-ernor in 1956. Between campaigns for governor (1964) and state court of appeals (1968), he made a name for himself as a developer, insurance salesman and philanthropist. Kidd Brewer Stadium, dedicated Sept. 3, 1988, was named Con-rad Stadium from 1962 to 1988 for William J. Conrad, a former Appala-chian State University trustee and R.J. Reynolds executive.

During both the indoor and outdoor seasons, the track and field teams are able to escape the elements with an expansive practice facility in Varsity Gym. A new Mondo track surface was added in 2007 with a length of over 100 meters. Along with the track surface, the facility houses a shot put and weight throwing area, pole vault and high jump facilities, a full weight-lifting area and athletic training facilities.

BEASLEYINTERIM DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICSNINTH YEAR AT APP STATE Rick Beasley, one of the most decorated student-athletes in Ap-palachian State University history, was named interim director of athletics by Appalachian State Chancellor Dr. Sheri N. Everts on Aug. 15, 2014. Beasley has been a member of the athletics administation at his alma mater since 2006. He came to Appalachian State as a senior associate athletics director and was promoted to deputy athletics director in 2014. In his role, Beasley served as the athletics depart-ment’s chief development officer and was heavily involved in the department’s day-to-day operations. Appalachian State athletics has enjoyed unprecedented fun-draising success under Beasley’s leadership. After never topping $700,000 in any full year prior to his arrival, the Yosef Club (Ap-palachian State athletics’ fundraising arm) has raised at least $1 million in each of Beasley’s eight full years at the University and has surpassed the $3 million mark each of the past two years. Additionally, Beasley has overseen the solicitation of donations for naming rights and premium seating that has funded much of Appalachian State’s $50 million in athletics facility enhancements since his arrival. An all-America wide receiver at Appalachian State from 1977-80, Beasley set seven school records during his playing career and remains the program’s all-time leader in yards per reception (17.6) and 100-yard games (16) in a career. In addition to being named a second-team Associated Press All-American in 1979, he was also the Southern Conference Male Athlete of the Year in 1979-80, a three-time all-conference performer and an academic all-conference honoree. For 17 years prior to his return to Appalachian State (1989-2006), Beasley served as the city manager for Conover, N.C. As city man-ager, he served at the pleasure of the city council and was respon-

sible for the administration of all city departments. Beasley was also the town manager of Scotland Neck, N.C. (1985-89) and an assistant city manager in Lenoir, N.C. (1982-85). Beasley earned both a B.A. in political science with a minor in economics and a M.A. with a concentration in local government from Appalachian. His wife, Diana, is director of teacher education recruitment for the Appalachian State office of admissions. She earned a M.A. in higher education administration and university and community leadership from Appalachian. The Beasleys live in Boone.

APPALACHIAN STATE ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT The Department of Athletics at Appalachian State University believes in maintaining the intercollegiate athletics program as an integral part of the University’s overall program of education, with emphasis on and priority given to high academic quality and standards and the complete development of the student. Appalachian State University provides opportunity and encouragement for student-athletes to progress toward degrees of their choice and to develop athletic abilities in an environment consistent with high standards of academic scholarship, leadership and institu-tional loyalty. The Department of Athletics is committed to ensuring the general welfare of the student-athlete and to encouraging the highest standards of sportsmanship on behalf of student-athletes, the student body and the University’s supporters. The intercollegiate athlete representing Appalachian is both a bona-fide student pursuing a degree program and an amateur competitor. Appalachian Athletics is committed to insuring equitable recruitment, participation and treatment of individuals including members of under-represented populations through its

athletics administration, staff, coaches, programs and policies. The University’s policy of non-discrimination represents a moral and ethical, not merely a legal, imperative. The University has determined that its athletics program will meet the necessary qualifica-tions, guidelines and funding to hold membership in Division I of the NCAA. The athletics administration, the faculty athletics representative and the Athletics Council work together to insure that all teams and coaches follow the rules and regulations governing this division. A sound program of intercollegiate athletics should benefit the institution through its ef-fects on students, alumni ad the institution itself. Specifically, it should maintain and improve the loyalty and esprit de corps of the student body, and in strengthening the pride and enthu-siasm of the alumni; it should serve as a favorable public relations factor and provide benefits to the participants.APPALACHIAN STATE ATHLETICS DIVERSITY STATEMENT Appalachian athletics promotes an inclusive culture that fosters equitable participation for student-athletes and equitable career opportunities for coaches, administrators and support staff from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

WHO ARE WE?

WHY CHOOSE APPALACHIAN?

Boone lies in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians. It is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. Among its accolades are inclusion in National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Norman Crampton’s “100 Best Small Towns in America,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards,” U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” and SafeWise.com’s “50 Safest Cities in North Carolina.” Boone is a college town, home to Appalachian State University. Originally Watauga Academy, the institution was formed to educate the mountain children and to ultimately prepare teachers for service through western North Carolina. It became Appalachian State Teachers College in 1929 and joined the University of North Carolina system in 1971. The university serves as a top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. The Boone area is characterized by mountain culture and casual living. Outdoor activities, cultural events, local dining and unique shops attract visitors from all over the world year-round. From breathtaking scenic views to Boone’s eclectic downtown area, known as King Street, there is something for everyone. One of the highlights of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of recent and historically important artwork and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region. A wide array of quality arts and cultural events enhance the Boone community. The university’s month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, known as An Appalachian Summer Festival, has brought notable performers such as Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Charlie Daniels and the Glenn Miller Orches-tra. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra. Boone offers an uncommon quality of life – that’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.
