Roster

www.UMKCKangaroos.com3

The ‘Roos will be competing as a member of the Western Athletic Conference for the first time under the leadership of head coach Shameika McField and her staff.

The men will welcome back a bevy of returners, including thrower Blake Hocking and sprinter Brady Adams.

The women will be led by standouts Shanelle Williams, Michelle Momo, and the headliner of the group, Courtney Frerichs. Frerichs is fresh off of an All-American cross country performance in 2013.

“The staff and I are both optimistic and anxious to see the team’s hard work pay off in the regular season,” said McField. “We are excited to compete at new venues with stiffer competition that will help us rise to the occasions. The WAC will provide us with an opportunity to prove the forward progress that we have made as a team.”

The men are led by returner Blake Hocking, a specialist in the shotput, and weight specialist Kris Leverette. Coffeyville-transfer Martin Williams bolsters the team in the discus, while Max Carroll will look to cap his career with a competitive season throwing the javelin. Carroll already holds the school-record at UMKC.

Kolton Sheldon, Dirk Hudson and Taylor Wardall will each play a key role for the ‘Roos running at length in the 800-meters, the 3K and the 5K. Incoming freshmen Nathan Keown – the brother of former 10K standout Jimmy Keown – Bryce Miller, James Barnett and Larry Lopez will add depth to the unit, creating a solid foundation for the men.

Brady Adams (21.5, 200M), who finished third in the Summit League a year ago, will lead the sprinters, and will be pushed by teammate Daniel Prioleau, who had a personal-best of 10.75 in the 100-meters and 21.74 in the 200-meters last season. They’re joined by Jason Martin, who will also be a key competitor in the long-jump. By way of Coffeyville CC, Kansas City-native Kenny Roach is a newcomer from whom the squad is expecting a heavy contribution in both relays and open efforts.

“Overall, we are excited as a staff at the progress and development of both our

men’s and women’s teams,” said McField. “Coming off of a successful cross country season, we are looking to continue the exciting championship finishes by being in the top half of the WAC.”

The return of Shanelle Williams and Michello Momo provides the anchor for what looks to be a strong women’s side. Williams is looking to improve in both the hurdles and sprints, while Momo is poised to dominate sprints and long-jump with an eye toward the WAC crown. Each runner set personal records a season ago, Williams with an 8.75 in the 60-meter hurdles, and Momo with a school-record 7.56 in the same event.

“They both have matured tremendously since coming in,” said McField. “Both of them have committed themselves to being good on a regional and national level.”

Briana Carter may come in a small package, but she will play a huge role for the team with her contributions in the triple-jump and the 400-meters. Chantel Bethune will also contribute in the 400-meters after posting a team-best performance in the event during the indoor season. Freshman Kamaya Tucker will look to strengthen the women’s side by adding quality depth. Tucker arrived at UMKC with high school personal records of 56.0 in the 400-meters, 25.12 in the 200-meters, and 12.2 in the 100-meters.

Throwers to watch include returners Dahlia Dyson and Kelsey Benoit. Dahlia was a third-place finisher in the weight a season ago, and has been steadily improving with the shotput.

Cross country sensation Courtney Frerichs leads the distance runners after finishing sixth at the outdoor championships in the 3K. The former Summit League champion will look to leave her mark on the Western Athletic Conference as one of the nation’s premier steeplechasers during the outdoor season, as well. Freshmen Brook Guiot, Hannah Miller and Katie Tuck are all expected to be top competitors in the 800-meters and the mile.

Returning hurdler Patricia Miller – who will also be a jumper and multi-eventer – will lead the intermediate hurdles with

her sights set on breaking school records in the 400-meter hurdles and the indoor pentathlon, as well as striving to be a key qualifier in the triple jump.

The newly-formed multi-events area at UMKC will be led by freshman Margaret Sharemet and Sarah Krig. Both will look to score high points in the hurdles, jumps, and running events.

“This year there will be more new school records, improved championship performances, as well as a new level of leadership from our seniors that heighten the standards and expectations of what it means to be a Kansas City ‘Roo and a Division I-level track and field student-athlete,” said McField. “Our focus is to emphasize enhancing the student-athlete experience by taking pride in their athletic abilities as students, and more importantly, being academically successful, creating history along the way.”

COACHING STAFFShameika McField was named the head coach for the UMKC track and field/cross country programs on March 4, 2008. Before her appointment, McField served as the interim head coach for the Kangaroos from January to March 2008. McField joined the athletics department in September 2007 as an academic advisor.

Associate head coach Benaud Shirley joined the UMKC track and field program as an assistant coach in April 2008. Shirley, who had served as a volunteer assistant coach at Kansas from 2003-08, works with the jumpers for the Kangaroos.

Assistant coach James Butler joined the UMKC staff in July of 2011, and coaches the distance/cross country runners. He came to Kansas City after three years at the University of New Mexico.

Finally, assistant coach Andy Nordland joined the UMKC track and field program in September 2009 as an assistant coach and is entering his fourth season as the throws coach for the ‘Roos. Nordland joined the program after spending four years at William Jewell College.

Also, Cosmas Ayabei became the first UMKC runner to compete in the NCAA Championships. On the women’s side, they finished third in the league championships and 19th in the NCAA Midwest Regionals, both the highest in school history.

In 2011, McField led the ‘Roos to a fifth place finish on the men’s side in both indoor and outdoor, while guiing the women to a sixth place finish during the indoor season and a fifth place finish during the outdoor cam-paign.

McField coached 11 all-Summit League selections during the 2010 indoor season, with Anthony Boyer claiming the gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles. Boyer was also recognized as The Summit League Championship Track MVP, the February Athlete of the Month and the Co-Track Athlete of the Year. McField had five athletes earn medals at the League Indoor Championships and coached the men to a fourth place finish. She had 10 athletes record first place finishes during the indoor season and watched Larry Hill break UMKC school records in the 600-yard run and 800-meter run, and Cosmas Ayabei break the 3,000-meter run.

McField had six student-athletes receive all-league recognition and had four school records broken during the outdoor season. Boyer broke the 400-meter hurdle record, Max Carroll broke the record in the javelin, Aubrey Frederking posted a new record in the 1,500-meter run and Susan Brueggemann broke the UMKC school record in the shot put. The Kangaroos had nine first place finishes during the outdoor season and had 13 student-athletes land on the UMKC all-time top-five performance list.

In the 2009 cross country season, McField saw Cosmas Ayabei run his way to a third place finish at the Summit League Cross Country Championship. Ayabei earned first team all-league honors and was named the Newcomer of the Championship, a honor that has not been bestowed to a Kangaroo since the 1999 season. Since taking over the UMKC running program, McField has had four student-athletes land on the UMKC all-time top performance and top performer lists.

McField coached three all-Summit League selections during the 2009 indoor season, with Marcus Lee claiming the gold medal in the long jump and triple jump and Alex Lopez taking silver in the 800 meters at The Summit League Indoor Championships. She had two UMKC school records broken under her watch and had five student-athletes land in the UMKC all-time top-five perfor-mance list.

James Butler joined the UMKC staff in July of 2011, and coaches the distance/cross country runners. He came to Kansas City after three years at the University of New Mexico.

In his first season, the cross country program made strides as the men placed fourth in The Summit League Championships, their best finish since 1999. Also, Cosmas Ayabei became the first UMKC runner to compete in the NCAA Championships. On the women’s side, they finished third in the league championships and 19th in the NCAA Midwest Regionals, both the highest in school history. Also in 2011-12 under his expertise, Courtney Frerichs qualified for the IAAF World Junior Championships in Barcelona, Spain, after finishing second in the 3,000 Meter Steeplechase at the US Junior Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

After serving two years as a graduate assistant at UNM in 2009 and 2010 while coaching the men’s and women’s track and cross country, Butler moved to a part-time position with the Lobos during his third year, coaching middle distance and cross country.

While there, he led multiple All-American performers, and helped the men’s and women’s cross country teams to national top 20 finishes in back-to-back seasons (2009 and 2010).

After a stellar high school career at Eldorado High School in Albuquerque, where he was state champion, Butler attended Wake Forest University on a cross country/track scholarship. While at Wake Forest, Butler competed in the NCAA Cross Country Champi-onships on two occasions, and was an NCAA Regional track qualifier in the 5000 meters.

After graduation he moved back to Albuquerque and made coaching stops as an assistant at Del Norte High School, and as the head coach at his alma mater, Eldorado High School, where he produced six state championship teams and individuals. His best athlete, Matt Tebo was a Footlocker regional champion, and fifth placer runner at the Footlocker national finals.

During the two years as a graduate assistant Butler assisted with the daily training of the cross country team, while focusing on the middle distance runners in track. He also coordinates the recruiting efforts of New Mexican high schools.

During the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons, Norland has guided eight different student-ath-letes to marks in the top-five in UMKC history, including record broken by Kimoya Harriott (Javelin), Max Carroll (Javelin), Susan Brueggeman (Shot Put - outdoor) and Ramon Nelson (Shot Put - outdoor).

Nordland had four student-athletes record personal best marks that landed on UMKC’s all-time top-five performance list following the 2009 indoor season.

During the 2009 outdoor season, Nordland watched Max Carroll break the UMKC school record in the javelin. Carroll also took the silver medal at The Summit League Outdoor Championship in the event. Nordland also coached Nick Stoppel to a fourth place finish at The League Championship in the javelin.

Under Nordland’s watch, freshman Ramon Nelson scored 11 points for the men’s team at The Summit League Outdoor Championship, finishing in the top-six in three events. Nel-son earned the bronze medal in the shot put at the Championship. Nordland also coached Susan Brueggemann to a broken UMKC school record in the shot put, a feat she accomplished twice. Nordland had five student-athletes land on UMKC’s all-time top-five performance list in eight events.

During his four years at William Jewell, Nordland coached student-athletes that won 14 individual Heart of American Athletic Con-ference champions. Additionally, nine school records were broken under his tutelage.

In the summer months, Nordland serves as the throws coach for the Falun Track and Field Club in Falun, Sweden, a position he has held for three years. Nordland worked with four-time Swedish National hammer throw Champion and former Boise State all-Amer-ican Mattias Jons and Swedish Youth National shot put Champion Mats Olsson.

As a student-athlete, Nordland competed at Iowa State for four years, where he was a member of two Big Eight Championship teams as a shot put and discus thrower. Nordland also began his coaching career with the Cyclones, as he assisted with the numer-ous summer track and field clinics.

As a prep, Nordland competed at Clarinda High School where he was a two-time all-American, a AAU National Champion and was the Omaha World Herald’s Athlete of the Year. The two-time Drake Relays champion, also earned four all-class overall indoor and outdoor Iowa State Championships.

Nordland is a USATF Level 1 certified coach and a USATF Level 2 certified throwing events coach. He earned his bachelor’s degree in finance from Iowa State in 1990 and he recently earned his master’s in education from Rockhurst University in May 2009.

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.

Missouri 3&2 Complex

UMKC reached an agreement with the city in the fall of 2011 to play its softball games at the Missouri 3&2 Complex. Since its first season there in the spring of 2012, UMKC has added a new scoreboard and re-furbished the fences around the game field.

In its first season, UMKC softball hosted the Missouri Coaches Versus Cancer Classic, and the Summit League Championships.

Municipal Auditorium, a building that many fans believe is the best arena in which to watch basketball, is the home of UMKC men’s basketball. The venue, which has a rich and storied basketball tradition, is now in its eighth decade in Kansas City.

Municipal, which was opened in 1936, has hosted nearly every type of event - from U.S. presidential campaigns to NCAA Final Four Championships. In fact, the auditorium has hosted a total of nine NCAA Championships, which are the most of any other building in the country. The facility is also the home to the NAIA National Tournament and the MIAA Tournament.

A facility upgrade included $3.5 million in renovations, encompassing new arena lighting, new seating and enhanced locker rooms for players and officials. In 2006, the facility continued its upgrades, as it replaced the playing court.

Municipal Auditorium is located in the heart of downtown Kansas City and steps from the Kansas City Power & Light District.

Municipal Auditorium comfortably seats 10,700 people, including 7,300 permanent upholstered seats.

The Arena is one of four self-contained venues in the Municipal Auditorium, and has its own lighted marquee, box office, show office, coat check, restrooms and concessions. It is accessible from the south side of 13th Street, where visitors enter through the splendid Grand Foyer.

The arena is also connected by covered walkways to the Convention Center, Con-ference Center, and the Auditorium Plaza Garage.

FACTSAfter completing its 51st year of intercollegiate competition, the Western Athletic Conference continues to evolve and feature some of the nation’s best programs. One thing that remains unchanged is the persistent nature of the schools in the WAC to ad-vance their programs to contend at the top levels of the NCAA.

The WAC provides its student-athletes the chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain exposure in some of the nation’s most diverse markets and largest metropolitan cities. In addition, the WAC’s student-athletes work to achieve the highest levels of suc-cess with the academic support of their respective institutions.

The WAC has experienced tremendous success over the years. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 24 of the past 29 seasons. In baseball, the WAC has boasted two national champions since 2003. In women’s basketball, the conference has had at least two teams qualify for the NCAA Tournament 10 times in 22 seasons, with a record five teams in 1998. The WAC also sent teams to three BCS football bowl games since 2006.

In 2013-14, the WAC will create a new digital network to give fans streaming internet access to many of its regular season games and postseason championships including volleyball, soccer, swimming and diving, basketball, softball and baseball.

The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s 11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the origi-nal six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition.

The first championship was held in November 1962, when Arizona won the men’s cross country title and New Mexico followed with the first WAC football title. Arizona finished second in the NCAA College World Series and, less than three years later, Arizona State claimed the league’s first NCAA title when the Sun Devils won the College World Series trophy. Fresno State was the last WAC school to earn an NCAA team title when it won the College World Series in 2008.

Since 1962, several changes have occurred. UTEP and Colorado State became members in September 1967, while Arizona and Arizona State withdrew on June 30, 1978. The WAC then added San Diego State (1978), Hawai‘i (1979) and Air Force (1980). Before 1990, the WAC sponsored championships only in men’s sports. However, a merger with the High Country Athletic Conference formed a single conference under one administrative structure, and the 1990-91 athletic year was the first in which both men and women competed under the WAC name. Fresno State was added in 1992, and then in 1996, the women’s programs from Air Force and Hawai‘i along with six new schools (UNLV, Rice, San Jose State, SMU, TCU and Tulsa) came into the WAC. Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State, UNLV, New Mexico, San Diego State, Utah and Wyoming withdrew on June 30, 1999. Nevada (2000), Boise State (2001) and Louisiana Tech (2001) were added while TCU withdrew following the 2000-01 season. In 2005, Idaho, New Mexico State and Utah State joined the WAC after Rice, SMU, UTEP and Tulsa withdrew. Boise State withdrew prior to the 2011-12 season. In 2012, the WAC added Denver, Seattle U, UT Arlington, UTSA and Texas State. The current membership began on July 1, 2013 when the WAC added Bakersfield, Chicago State, Grand Canyon, Kansas City, UTPA and Utah Valley to join Idaho, New Mexico State and Seattle U. The new institutions replace withdrawing members, Denver, Louisiana Tech, San Jose State, Utah State, UT Arling-ton, UTSA and Texas State.

The WAC has had just six commissioners in its history. Paul Brechler was named the first leader of the conference and held the position from 1962-1968. He was followed by Wiles Hallock (1968-71), Stan Bates (1971-80), Dr. Joe Kearney (1980-94), Karl Benson (1994-2012) and current commissioner Jeff Hurd (2012-present).

Presently, the WAC crowns team and individual champions in 19 sports – nine men’s and 10 women’s. For the men, there are championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field. Championships for women are held in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and volleyball.

The WAC office has been located in the Denver area since the conference’s inception with the exception of a two-year stay in Phoe-nix from 1964-66.

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 former 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.

RESIDENTIAL LIFE AT UMKCStudent housing at UMKC is about more than just offering you a place to eat and sleep - it’s about your total educational experience. Whether it’s continuing a class-room discussion over pizza, or attending a discussion with faculty outside of class, we know that having a home away from home is important. Residence Life offers you a place where you can hang out with friends, learn about others and most importantly, learn about yourself.

That’s why all housing is conveniently lo-cated on the west side of campus, near the University Center (and cafeteria), Swinney Recreation Center, and within easy walking distance to all other Volker campus build-ings. Nearby are the Country Club Plaza and museums, and other local attractions. Downtown Kansas City, Mo., is approxi-mately 10 minutes away by automobile (or bus).

THE NEW STUDENT UNION UMKC opened a new 109,000-square-foot Student Union in August 2010. The new Union offers a bird’s eye view of Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza, a new 329-seat theater, a two-story bookstore, new restaurants (Chick-fil-A Express, Baja Fresh Mexican Grill, SubConnection and Jazzman’s Café & Bakery) and 10,000 square-feet of space dedicated to student organizations. Located near UMKC’s residential halls at 51st and Cherry Streets, the $38.3 million Student Union features a green roof terrace and wide floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Plaza, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and UMKC’s Stanley H. Durwood Soccer Stadium and Recreational Field.
