del walker intercollegiate golf classic


Former Long Beach State head men’s golf coach Bob Livingstone and Jamie Mulligan, director of golf at the Virginia Country Club, announced on June 17, 2003 that the 49er Collegiate Golf Classic was renamed the Del Walker Intercollegiate. This year’s collegiate tournament will be played on March 7-8, 2011 at Virginia Country Club. The former 49er Collegiate Classic has been played 19 times, 12 of those at Virginia Country Club .

Walker was the 49er men’s golf coach for 11 years (1983-1994), was instrumental in saving the program from being dropped in the early 1990’s, and was inducted into the 49er Athletic Hall of Fame in 2000, with his wife Marty. Walker was a member of the UCLA golf team (1934-36) and he lost only one match during that span and won the Southern California Collegiate Championship. He was a full member of Virginia Country

Club since 1940 and is a seven-time club champion there. Coach passed away on Jan. 25, 2007 at the age of 93, and is sorely missed by all who knew him.

“The membership is proud both of Coach Walker and its support of the 49er golf teams,” said Mulligan. “This is an ap-propriate honor, acknowledging both him and his career.”

ATHLETIC DIRECTORVIC CEGLES

ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION

In nine seasons as the Director of Athle cs, Vic Cegles has ushered Long Beach State into another golden era of success, while streamlining the department’s opera on and development.

Cegles, who was hired as the school’s 12th Director of Athle cs in April 2006, has made an impact in the athle c department’s ability to fundraise which is key to his goal of making Long Beach State not only the premiere school in the Big West Conference, but a player on the na onal stage when it comes to both athle cs and academics.

Since coming to Long Beach State, Cegles has placed strong emphasis on resource acquisi on targe ng the annual fund, capital improvements, scholarship endowments, cket sales and corporate sponsorships. He established what is now known as the Beach Athle c Club in 2006 and focused on centralizing annual giving. The reorganiza on has enabled teams to con nue sport-specifi c solicita ons and provide consistent recogni on and benefi ts to donors.

The annual fund has increased in each year of Cegles’ tenure, and in 2014 reached over $2 million dollars in total gi s towards Athle cs.

Cegles con nues to focus on facility enhancements and a $25 million capital campaign for athle cs. Within the last year, Long Beach State replaced the original fl oor of the Walter Pyramid, upda ng the notable new main court design while also keeping the mul ple-court ac vity area on an all-new, maple fi nish. Addi onally, the renova on of Jack Rose Track, which was a major project to li the aging facility to elite compe on standards, was completed in July.

Other major projects that have been fi nished under Cegles include a $2 million expansion and renova on of the Walter Pyramid locker rooms, providing state of the art homes for men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball, and a strength and condi oning center within the Walter Pyramid overlooking the fl oor. Addi onally, new scoreboards have been installed for baseball, so ball, soccer, tennis, and most recently, water polo, along with the installa on of lights at George Allen Field.

Under Cegles’ leadership the university entered a long-term 55-year lease with the city of Long Beach to operate the iconic Blair Field, ensuring an improved home for Dirtbag baseball. With that commitment, a $17 million campaign for improvements at Blair Field is underway, which includes a new prac ce infi eld, safer walls and remodeled ba ng cages, locker room, offi ces and suites at the iconic stadium. Four- me MLB All-Star Troy Tulowitzki pledged $1 million to the project, off ered at his LBSU Hall of Fame induc on in 2013.

Cegles and Beach Athle cs have also contracted with Learfi eld Sports Marke ng, outsourcing all media and sponsorship rights with the na onal collegiate sales company. Learfi eld spearheads a commitment to increasing corporate sponsorships and sales of season and individual game ckets for baseball and basketball. Overall cket revenues increased 15 percent in 2013-14, and Men’s Basketball in par cular has seen a massive rise in a endance, second in the Big West behind Hawai’i and featuring a prominent student sec on that has grown 118 percent since Cegles hired Dan Monson to coach the team.

Long Beach State has excelled both on the playing fi elds and in the classroom under Cegles’ leadership. For the ninth consecu ve year all NCAA sponsored teams at Long Beach State scored above the required 925 on the Academic Progress Rate (APR), the only California State University to do so under the four-year standard, and 85 student-athletes were recognized as Academic All-Conference honorees a er mee ng compe on and academic standards, most o en a 3.2 cumula ve GPA.

Diversity in the coaching and administra ve staff is a fundamental goal and the athle cs department was recognized under Cegles’ leadership in 2008 as a na onal NCAA diversity winner.

Compe vely, in his nine seasons at the helm of the Long Beach State athle c department, the 49ers have won 34 conference championships, with 34 LBSU teams advancing to the NCAA Tournament.

Long Beach State has become the gold standard of the Big West Conference, winning fi ve straight Commissioner’s Cups, awarded annually to the most successful athle c department as a whole. The 49ers have won six of the last seven cups, and set a compe on average points record in 2011-12.

The Beach captured three Big West Championships in 2014-15, in Women’s Volleyball, Women’s Tennis and Men’s Track & Field. Women’s Volleyball went undefeated in conference play and advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament, while Women’s Tennis extended their streak of winning either the regular-season or tournament tle to 12 years in a row. Men’s Track and Field has also captured three-consecu ve Big West team tles.

In 2012-13, the Sand Volleyball program, established under Cegles’ tenure, captured Long Beach State’s seventh Na onal Championship with a victory over Pepperdine, as LBSU became the fi rst program to hold a na onal championship in both indoor and outdoor volleyball. In addi on, the Men’s Basketball program once again captured the Big West regular season championship under Dan Monson, winning three-straight tles for the fi rst me since the 1975-1977 seasons.

Cegles has reorganized and refocused the en re administra ve staff , and also nego ated new contract extensions for men’s basketball coach Dan Monson and women’s volleyball coach Brian Gimmillaro. During his tenure, Cegles has also hired nine new head coaches in so ball, water polo, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s basketball, and baseball.

From 2003-06 Cegles was the associate athle cs director at Temple University where he directed athle cs fundraising, marke ng and promo ons, sponsorship and cket sales while planning an athle cs capital campaign with university development.

Previously he was vice president of business development for Gaylord Sports Management in Sco sdale, Ariz., a er serving 16 years at Arizona State University in athle c development and external aff airs. He ul mately served as the lead senior associate athle c director for external aff airs in his fi nal two years at ASU.

While at Arizona State he led the athle cs department’s $25 million capital campaign to enhance facili es and endowments and, among other responsibili es, supervised baseball, men’s and women’s golf and women’s gymnas cs. He also was the assistant athle c director for development at Rutgers University for fi ve years.

Cegles served as assistant basketball coach at Carnegie Mellon University and as an assistant basketball and baseball coach at West Virginia Wesleyan College and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He holds a degree in business administra on from Bucknell and a master’s in counseling and student personnel services from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Cegles and his wife Bonnie have two sons. Vic, a former baseball standout at Rutgers, is the Director of External Rela ons for Athle cs at Minnesota and Casey, a former wide receiver at Towson University, is Director of the Annual Fund for Old Dominion Athle cs.

OUR CITYOUR CITY

California’s seventh largest city, Long Beach is situated about a half-hour south of Los Angeles. First se led in 1784 as part of a

large Spanish land grant, this seaport city of 465,576 is one of the most unique ci es in

the Southland.

The city of Long Beach averages 345 days of sunshine per year, making it ideal for the ac ve, outdoor lifesyle. The beach city is located about 20 miles south of downtown LA and is bordered to the south and east by the idyllic beaches and

a rac ons of Orange County.



LONG BEACHThis Southern California coastal city’s got it all: art districts, eclec c shopping, nightlife, a rac ons, and of course, the beach. Long Beach is home to a variety of outstanding cultural arts and music fes vals and world-class spor ng events. The city is centrally located from all the major Southern California a rac ons, making it an ideal loca on for a top-notch university. There’s always something to do.

BELMONT SHOREA trip down Second Street in Belmont Shore is like stepping back in me. The quaint, tree-lined street has that old Main Street feel and is home to a variety of restaurants, salons and speciality stores. It is also where the Belmont Car Show, the largest one-day car show in the West Coast, and the Belmont Shore Christmas Parade take place. This beachside shopper’s paradise is where many go to relax and enjoy the pace of a true coastal community.

LONG BEACH NIGHTLIFEIt’s simply impossible to talk about the Long Beach nightlife without men oning Pine Avenue. The four-block enclave of fi ne dining and nightclubs makes it a magnet for would be revellers. Roaming crowds, cafes and pulsa ng music adds to the energy that can only be experienced in this downtown area. It is a celebra on of the world’s culture and ethnicity.

WALTER PYRAMIDWALTER PYRAMID

The Walter Pyramid has played host to several NCAA sponsored events including numerous

women’s volleyball matches, the 2001 and 2003 Men’s Volleyball Championships and the 2003 NCAA

Women’s Volleyball Regionals. The venue has also served as the host site for the NBA Summer Pro

League and CIF Basketball Playoff s. It’s also the site of many commercials and feature fi lms.

The Walter Pyramid is believed to be the largest space-frame structure in North America. The building’s infrastructure u lizes 18,000 steel

tubes and connec on modules, joined by more than 160,000 three-quarter inch bolts. If the

tubes were laid end-to-end, they would form a pipe span 26 miles long.



ABOUT WALTER PYRAMIDThe home of Long Beach State basketball and volleyball for over 20 years, the Walter Pyramid has become a na onally recognized icon for the university and the city of Long Beach. Because of its drama c appearance, its unique mul -purpose capability and its lure for television produc on, the Walter Pyramid is one of the fi nest collegiate athle c facili es in the western United States.

On March 5, 2005, the Pyramid was offi cially named the Walter Pyramid, thanks to the generous dona ons presented to the university by Dr. Mike and Arlene Walter. Long- me supporters of the school, the Walters’ gi to athle cs and academics was the largest single gi in LBSU Athle cs history.

Offi cially opened on November 30, 1994, the Beach rolled to a 71-64 win over the University of Detroit before a crowd of 5,021 and an ESPN television audience.

The structure’s dis nc ve cobalt blue exterior has permanently altered the city’s skyline. It rises 18 stories above north campus and can be seen for miles in all direc ons. It has provided a quantum leap in both the image and eff ec veness of the Long Beach State Athle cs programs, with an immediate impact on LBSU’s fan base, scholarship fundraising, recrui ng and revenue genera on. Nearly 200,000 visitors pass through the Walter Pyramid’s entrances annually.

Designed by Long Beach architect Don Gibbs and built by the Nielson Construc on Company of San Diego, the Walter Pyramid cost approximately $22 million. The ‘Myd (as it is aff ec onately referred to by loyal fans) measures 345 feet on each side of its perfectly square base. Its fl oor space accommodates nine volleyball courts or three full basketball courts and four addi onal half basketball courts on the “ac vity” level.

One of three true pyramids in the United States (others are located in Las Vegas and Memphis), the Walter Pyramid’s most unique feature is its can levered sea ng system, mounted on moveable pla orms. When use of the fl oor level is required for physical educa on classes, each 81-ton sea ng pla orm can be raised hydraulically to expose over 39,000 square feet of fl ooring.

In the summer of 2014, the original beechwood fl ooring in the Walter Pyramid was replaced with maple fl ooring. The main court underwent a redesign with the new fl oor being laid down (rendering seen to the le ).

Long Beach State’s facili es remain some of the best in the Big West and are compe ve na onally while serving as the home of the LBSU sports teams. From the university’s enduring icon, the cobalt-blue Walter

Pyramid, to the history and tradi on of Blair Field, athletes that come to play at the Beach will showcase their skills in only the fi nest home stadiums.

JACK ROSE TRACKLong Beach State’s Jack Rose Track & Field Stadium recently underwent a mul -million dollar renova on. The completed project showcases a facility that is among the very best in the United States. The centerpiece is the track and its design features, and when all phases are complete, the stadium will boast sea ng for 5,000 spectators. With this, and other important elements accomplished, this redesign will complete the vision of a na onal-class facility that can play host to major invita onal meets as well as NCAA and U.S. Track and Field championships.



BLAIR FIELDHome of the Dirtbags since 1993, Long Beach’s Blair Field is a perfect combina on of tradi on and modern func on. Built on the site of the former recrea on park, home at mes to the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers, Blair Field has hosted numerous teams and events such as the MTV Rock & Jock So ball Game and con nues to receive start-of-the-art upgrades, including a new scoreboard installed in 2009.
