hen Father Edward F. Sorin arrived in the northern Indiana wilderness, he had only $310, three log buildings badly in need of repair and a far-sighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to meet the growing educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of building a great university, and in 1842, he founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac. Over the years, Notre Dame would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame also has been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of synthetic rubber. Today researchers are achieving breakthroughs in astrophysics, radiation chemistry, environmental sciences, tropical disease transmission, cancer, robotics and nanoelectronics. The University also has stressed residential life, with four-of-five students living on campus in 29 residence halls that serve as the focal point of social, spiritual and athletic activities. Notre Dame is one of a handful of universities with a truly international student body, coming from more than 100 nations and all 50 states. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Fr. Sorin. Notre Dame is one of the few universities to regularly rank in the top 25 in the U.S. News & World Report survey of America’s best colleges and the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings of the best overall athletics programs. The University is second only to KU

ev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., is in his second five-year term as the 17th president of the University of Notre Dame. His vision is for Notre Dame to be the Catholic research university for our time – an institution that unifies, enlightens and heals by engaging in scholarship of the first rank while maintaining its distinctive Catholic character and long-time excellence in undergraduate education. During his tenure, Notre Dame has made significant progress toward its research goal, including selection as the lead partner in the Midwest Institute for Nanoelectronics Discovery and the Center for Low Energy Systems Technology, the creation of the Innovation Park research facility, and the construction of Stinson Remick Hall of Engineering. His commitment to undergraduate education has been marked by the Notre Dame Forums, yearlong initiatives that have examined

important issues such as religion and world conflict, global health, immigration, education and energy. The University’s Catholic identity has been strengthened during Father Jenkins’ tenure in multiple ways, including the appointment of a coordinator for University life initiatives and the construction of multimillion-dollar facilities for the Institute for Church Life, including the Center for Social Concerns, and the Institute for Educational Initiatives, which includes the Alliance for Catholic Education. Father Jenkins earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in philosophy from Notre Dame in 1976 and 1978, respectively, and was ordained a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross in 1983. He holds advanced degrees from Oxford and the Jesuit School of Theology. He is a professor of philosophy and the author of Knowledge and Faith in Thomas Aquinas. Father Jenkins is a native of Omaha, Neb.

J

Vice President • Director of Athletics

ohn B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate now in his sixth year in 2013-14 as vice president and director of athletics at his alma mater, has attached his signature to a variety of new initiatives during his tenure: * Launching of Fighting Irish Digital Media—a major enterprise that delivers better information about and access to Notre Dame and its athletic programs via expanded production and distribution of programming. * Developing a plan for expanding Notre Dame Stadium in order to make it a year-round asset for the University while also improving the game day experience for student-athletes and fans. * Creation of new community outreach and youth programming activities. * Building of student-athlete programs and services that expand recognition of high academic achievement—and mentor and facilitate career development. * Meeting the performance needs of Notre Dame student-athletes through establishment of a new sports performance division. * Reaching out to more former Irish student-athletes, via the Notre Dame Monogram Club and other programs. In 2012-13 alone, Swarbrick played a major role in three significant announcements that positively impacted Notre Dame on the national collegiate scene: -- Creation by the Bowl Championship Series of the four-team College Football Playoff to begin with the 2014 season, with Notre Dame maintaining viable access into that system. -- Membership for Notre Dame’s athletic teams (other than football and hockey) in the Atlantic Coast Conference beginning with the 2013-14 athletic seasons. In football, Notre Dame will play five games per year against ACC opponents beginning in 2014 and also have full access to the league’s list of postseason bowl options. Notre Dame hockey now plays in Hockey East. -- An extension of the University’s relationship with NBC Sports through the 2025 football season. Swarbrick’s first five years combined featured a variety of on-and off-the-field Notre Dame athletics successes: * Number-one rankings for Notre Dame (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the six most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) surveys--in 2012 at 99 for all-student-athletes (including football number one at 97, in the fourth consecutive year Notre Dame stood atop that chart). * Record involvement in community service hours by Irish student-athletes. * An appearance in the Bowl Championship Series football title game following the 2012 season—in an unprecedented year in which the Irish finished the regular season 12-0 to rank number one in the final BCS poll while also ranking number one in the GSR standings. * NCAA championships in 2011 in fencing (a men’s and women’s combined championship) and 2010 in women’s soccer. * NCAA runner-up team finishes in 2013 in fencing, 2012 and 2011 in women’s basketball, 2010 in men’s lacrosse, 2009 in fencing and 2008 in women’s soccer. * NCAA semifinal appearances in women’s basketball in 2013, men’s lacrosse in 2012, hockey in 2011, women’s tennis in both 2009 and 2010 and women’s soccer in 2009, plus 2010 and 2012 third-place fencing finishes.

* Construction of the 5,022-seat Compton Family Ice Arena that opened for the 2011-12 season and features two sheets of ice (one Olympic sized). The 2009-10 school year also featured dedications of new facilities for soccer and lacrosse--as well as opening of the new Purcell Pavilion within the south dome of the Joyce Center. Before coming back to Notre Dame, Swarbrick rose to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant and executive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries Born in Yonkers, N.Y., and raised in Yonkers and Bloomington, Ind., he is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Upon graduating from Stanford University Law School in 1980, he returned to Indiana to accept a position as an associate in the Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels, one of the largest in the state. He was made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years with the firm. As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick led many of Indianapolis’ successful proposals to a wide array of athletics organizations--from the National Football League (NFL) to the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) to the Big Ten Conference. His leadership efforts resulted in the city: * Earning the right to play host to the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium. * Becoming the home of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) national headquarters in 1999. * Hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, where Swarbrick served as the director of competition. * Hosting the 1991 World Gymnastics Championships. * Hosting NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours and other college championship competitions and a wide array of national and world championships in the Olympic sports. * Securing rights to host the Big Ten Conference men’s and women’s basketball tournaments at Conseco Fieldhouse for five consecutive years beginning in 2008. At Baker & Daniels Swarbrick served as general counsel for numerous national governing bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics, and as a consultant to various bid cities and host committees for Olympic Games and world championships. In his work as an advisor to the NCAA, Swarbrick coordinated the men’s College Basketball Partnership, an NCAA-led group that addresses the opportunities and challenges in the sport; developed the business plan for the new NBA/NCAA youth basketball enterprise, iHoops; served as a member of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Discussion Group, and chaired the NCAA/USOC task force dedicated to developing proposals to expand sponsorship of Olympic sports among NCAA member institutions. In 2000 Swarbrick received one of the NCAA’s highest honors, The Flying Wedge Award, for his work in establishing Indianapolis as the new home of the NCAA. In 2001 he was honored by the State of Indiana with the Sagamore of the Wabash Award. In 2002 he received the Pathfinder Award from Youthlinks Indiana for his service to youth in the state of Indiana. He received an honorary monogram from the Notre Dame Monogram Club in 2013. Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick was named Notre Dame’s 12th athletics director on July 16, 2008. He and his wife, Kimberly, are the parents of four children: Kate, a 2010 graduate of St. Louis University; Connor, a 2011 graduate of Wake Forest University; Cal, a senior at TCU; and Christopher, a University of Notre Dame junior.

Academic All-Americans – The 2006-07 season proved to be a banner one, both on the fields of competition and in the classroom, for the Notre Dame track and field/ cross country program. The Irish had four student-athletes earn CoSIDA Academic AllAmerica honors, led by middle distance runner Thomas Chamney, who was a first-team selection in 2007 after picking up third-team plaudits in ’06. Chamney became the fifth Irish track and field athlete to be tabbed a two-time Academic All-American and the fourth to earn first-team honors. The three-time All-American on the track earned a bachelor’s degree from the College of Arts and Letters in 2007, graduating with a 3.56 cumulative grade point average in English. Joining Chamney as 2007 Academic AllAmericans were sprinter Maryann Erigha and distance harriers Sunni Olding and Todd Ptacek. The honors were the first for each athlete. Erigha was also awarded an Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar Award (first team) along with fellow sprinter Okechi Ogbuokiri (fourth team), and was a recipient of Notre Dame’s Byron V. Kanaley Award for exemplary scholarship and leadership among senior monogram winners. Entering the 2013-14 season, the Irish cross country/track and field teams have had 31 Academic All-Americans.

Aragon – Former Irish track and cross country standout Dr. Chuck Aragon was presented with the Spirit of Notre Dame Award during the Notre Dame-Michigan football game in the fall of 1992. The award, sponsored by Maxwell House and General Foods, recognized Notre Dame athletes, past and present, who distinguished themselves in competition, demonstrated the “Spirit of Notre Dame” and exhibited the ideals of the University. Aragon captained both the Notre Dame cross country and track teams during his career (1977-81) and was the first Irish sub-four-minute miler. An All-American and bronze medalist in the 1,500 meters at the Pan Am Games, he placed fourth at the 1984 Olympic Trials. Aragon, who completed his residency in anesthesiology, donated many hours to South Bend’s Logan Center while at Notre Dame. His daughters, Alexa, a senior, and Dani, a sophomore, are members of the cross country and track and field teams and All-Americans on the track. Back to the Bend – Although the Irish won their only cross country national championship in 1957, the bus ride home from East Lansing, Mich., was anything but a celebration. In 26-degree weather, the Irish upset heavily-favored Michigan State, but when

All-American (Two Sports) – Former Irish great Raghib “Rocket” Ismail is part of an exclusive group of student-athletes who have combined All-America honors in track and field and another sport during their Notre Dame careers. Ismail was a two-time consensus first-team All-American in football (1989, 1990) and also earned All-America honors on the track as a sprinter in 1991. The other members of this elite club are: Edward “Moose” Krause (football 1932; basketball 1932-34), Dick Arrington (football 1965; wrestling 1966) and Bob Golic (football 1977-78; wrestling 1978-79). Former high jumper and 2006 graduate Emily Loomis narrowly missed becoming the first female student-athlete in school history to join this group. She earned her first track All-America citation with a tie for eighth place in the outdoor high jump at the 2006 NCAA Championship, in addition to earning honorable mention All-America laurels in vol-

coach Alex Wilson added up the team’s score of 121 points, he felt the score was extremely high to contend for the title. As a result, he and his team packed up and took the bus back to South Bend. About halfway home the stunning news came over the bus radio, Notre Dame had defeated Michigan State by six points. Coaching Tree – Although it is one of Notre Dame’s oldest varsity programs (dating back to 1890), the Irish track and field team didn’t bring on its first coach until 1916, when Knute Rockne took the job. He held that position until 1927, starting a trend of stability among Irish track coaches. Current Notre Dame track and field coach Joe Piane is perhaps the best example of this, as he is in his 39th year at the helm of the Irish. Piane is the longest-tenured coach among active mentors at Notre Dame, with men’s swimming coach Tim Welsh next in line with his 29th season on tap in 2013-14.

A native of Glen Ellyn, Ill., Deeter earned AllAmerica status twice for cross country in 1996 and 1998 and three times in track and field, all in 1999. Included in her accomplishments were two then-school records - the indoor and outdoor 3,000 and the 10,000.

Track coach from 1927-1940, John P. Nicholson became an innovator in coaching technique purely by accident.

Fifth – One-fifth of a mile (approx. 320 meters) is the length of the Meyo Track, the largest collegiate indoor surface in the country and the home track for the Irish indoor teams. First opened in 1988, the track was named for Ray and Marie Meyo of Brecksville, Ohio, and is made of the Mondo track surface featuring six 42-inch lanes. The Meyo Track has established itself as one of the fastest surfaces in the nation and welcomes a number of high-class athletes in a “last chance” meet (the Alex Wilson Invitational) who are attempting to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championship. The Meyo Invitational, which features the “Meyo Mile” (a special race that features many of the top milers in the nation) and the Alex Wilson Invitational are fixtures on the Notre Dame indoor track and field schedule each season.

Football Players – The Notre Dame football and track and field programs are two of the oldest varsity sports on the Irish campus. There have been a number of football stars who have crossed over to the track, or the field, and left an impression on the track and field program. Just a glance at the Notre Dame track and field record book shows the effect that football players have had on it. Raghib “Rocket” Ismail, who finished second in the Heisman Trophy balloting in 1990, holds the school record for the outdoor 100 meters and finished as an All-American in 1991. Former Irish defensive back Allen Rossum currently holds the school record in the indoor 60 meters (6.68), former running back Randy Kinder has the indoor 200-meter record and former halfback Aubrey Lewis holds the top mark in the 400-meter hurdles (50.2). Some football players who also earned monograms on the track include 1987 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Brown, Jack Elder, Edward “Moose” Krause, Elmer Layden, Dean Lytle, Ryan Mihalko (the school-record holder in the javelin), Dwight Ellick, Terrail Lambert, Creighton Miller, Knute Rockne, George Atkinson III and Josh Atkinson. In 2012, brothers George Atkinson III and Josh Atkinson and football teammate Bennett Jackson all ran for the Irish. George was named all-BIG EAST during the indoor season in the 200m dash, while both brothers competed at the NCAA East Preliminary Round.

Two-time NCAA champion (’23 and ’24) Tom Lieb introduced the spinning throw delivery in the discus, which is still in use today.

Hurd’s days of distinction as a collegian included being named Notre Dame’s “athlete of the year” for 1967-68 and establishing the American indoor record in the 300-yard dash (29.8). He set eight Notre Dame records and totaled five All-America finishes at the 1968 and ‘69 NCAA meets.

Golden Anniversary – The 2005 season marked the 50th running of the Notre Dame Invitational cross country meet, one of the nation’s oldest and largest intercollegiate races. The invitational was started by former Irish head coach Alex Wilson in 1956 as a fourmile race, extended to five miles in 1968 and a women’s competition added in 1987.

Brown won the 1987 Heisman Trophy in addition to running with the track team during the offseason. Brown owned the school record in the 55 meters until 1990 when ‘90 Heisman runner-up Ismail ran 6.07 in the event, and eventually went on to earn track All-America honors by finishing second in the 1991 NCAA indoor 55 meters. Hurd – Dr. Bill Hurd was honored in 2002 at the annual Notre Dame Monogram Club dinner with the Moose Krause Distinguished Service Award, the highest honor presented by the Monogram Club. A world-class sprinter and 1969 Notre Dame graduate with a degree in electrical engineering, Hurd now is a noted eye surgeon, with an ophthalmology practice in Memphis that specializes in cataract, glaucoma and diabetic treatment and keratorefractive surgery. Hurd annually spends two to three weeks providing voluntary eye surgery to the poor in Africa, Mexico and Brazil. On one trip to Madagascar, he and two other doctors saw 1,100 patients in 10 days and he performed

He also was a finalist (top eight) at the Olympic Trials in the 100 and 200 meters, finishing fifth in the 100 to just miss a spot on the Olympic squad (his competitors included the likes of Jim Hines, John Carlos, Tommy Smith and Mel Gray). Hurd, who added graduate degrees from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (master’s in management science) and Meaharry Medical School in Nashville, was a Rhodes Scholarship regional finalist and received Notre Dame’s Harvey Foster Award in 1992 (recognizing alumni for distinguished civic activity) and the NCAA’s prestigious Silver Anniversary Award in 1994 (recognizing career success and community service). He holds two U.S./foreign patents for optical devices, including a slit-lamp, mountable intraocular biometer. Also an accomplished jazz musician, Hurd completed work on his fourth CD, in which he plays the saxophone and flute. Hurd and his wife Rhynette, an attorney, have sent both of their sons to Notre Dame. One of his sons, Ryan, was a four-year monogram winner on the Irish track and field team from 2001-04.

Loftus Center/Guglielmino Athletics Complex – Notre Dame first utilized the Loftus Center in October of 1987 and is enjoying its 28th full season of use in 2013-14. The indoor facility is highlighted by Meyo Field, a Prestige Turf surface installed in 2003 that is shared with several Irish sports teams, including the football and lacrosse programs. The Loftus Center is connected to the Guglielmino Athletics Complex, which features the 25,000-square foot Haggar Fitness Center, a facility holding more than 250 pieces of weight training equipment, six plasma televisions and a state-of-the-art sound system. It also houses the 150-seat Isban Auditorium as well as plentiful meeting space. Meyo Invitational – Four minutes, one mile. For years it was the unbreakable barrier and it remains among the most celebrated feats in all of sport. Folks that know the sport of track and field will tell you that 3:40 in the 1,500 or 7:55 in the 3,000 are just as impressive, but to the casual fan there is something about the simplicity of it; four laps, four minutes, one mile. In February 2014, the 28th annual Meyo Invitational will return to the Loftus Sports Center on Notre Dame’s campus with the marquee event at the meet being the Meyo Mile. In the past five seasons, six runners have broken the magical four-minute mark. In 2003, Luke Watson won the race in school record time (3:57.83), moving into the lead a mere 30 meters from the finish line. After the dust had settled, the top five in the race were each in under four minutes, each within a half second of the others and each owned one of the five fastest times in the world that year.

Jinx – Although Irish great Greg Rice is widely regarded as one of the best distance runners of all-time, his coach only saw him race once during his Notre Dame career. Coach John Nicholson superstitiously felt he jinxed Rice during races and therefore stayed in South Bend while Rice traveled to meets. The only race Nicholson saw was perhaps one of Rice’s finest as he outdueled Taisto Maki and Don Lash to win a three-mile race in 13:52.2. Unfortunately, the race would also be Nicholson’s last as the coach died two days later from complications of a heart attack that he suffered just hours before the competition. Lieb – Tom Lieb, an Irish discus thrower in the early 20’s, is credited with introducing the spin-style delivery to the sport, a style which is still used today. Lieb won the NCAA title in the event during the 1923 and 1924 seasons.

Luke Watson pulled ahead in the final 30 meters and won a heartstopping Meyo Mile in 2003, hitting the tape in a school-record time of 3:57.83.

Fighting Irish

The 2005 race turned out to be just as thrilling, with four runners breaking the four-minute barrier, including a pair of Notre Dame athletes (Watson, running unattached, and sophomore Kurt Benninger). All four sub-four minute runners earned automatic qualification to the NCAA Indoor Championship, and Benninger’s time of 3:58.75 put him less than a second off Watson’s school-record mark of two years earlier. Notably, Indiana’s Sean and John Jefferson also became the first American brothers to run sub-four minute miles. Jeremy Rae etched his name in Irish lore in 2011 and 12, as he went sub-4:00 both years in earning a pair of Meyo Mile titles. In 2012, Rae overcame a remarkable deficit over the last 200 meters to pick up the win. The Invitational, as well as the Meyo Mile, are the brainchild of Irish head track and field coach Joe Piane. When the Loftus Center was built, Notre Dame installed a track that was oversized (one-fifth of a mile, or approximately 320 meters) and topped with a Mondo surface, which produced a rare and very fast combination. Piane recounted the invention of the Invitational: “We put the meet together because it was a huge track and it was attractive to just give it a try. The name comes from Ray Meyo, who donated everything, and we decided to highlight the mile because even the average person knows that a sub-four-minute mile is very good, so we put together a ‘four minute challenge’ knowing that if the race did go under four minutes, everyone was going to say, ‘Wow! This is really something.’ ” The Meyo Mile, however will not be the only great event on the weekend. The Meyo Invitational is always packed with outstanding performances from start to finish. Through the years, numerous track and school records have been shattered. In fact, six meet records and three track marks went by the boards during the 2007 meet alone. National Champions – Irish track and field performers have secured 18 national track titles during the program’s history, in addition to the two individual crowns and one team championship in cross country. The most recent track champion was the men’s indoor distance medley relay team in 2012, who used a strong kick from Jeremy Rae to take the crown in Nampa, Idaho. Greg Rice (1938) and Oliver Hunter (1942) were individual cross country champions, while coach Alex Wilson’s 1957 squad won the NCAA cross country national championship.

Notre Dame’s Greg Rice (second from left) is considered by many to be the greatest distance runner in U.S. history. The 1940 Sullivan Award winner, Rice went undefeated in 65 major indoor and outdoor races over a three-year span, setting 10 world records in six different events. He also was an All-American in the two-mile race, winning the NCAA title in 1937 and 1939 and finishing second in 1938.

Pioneer – Harry M. Jewett was the first recognized Notre Dame track and field athlete, making his debut in 1890 at a relay invitational in Ann Arbor, Mich. The school was next represented in 1898 and the Irish have competed in every year since then with the exception of 1906. Rockne – The name that has become synonymous with Notre Dame football also was involved in the Irish track scene. After a difficult freshman year as a reserve on the varsity football team, Knute Rockne turned his attention to track where he earned a monogram and, as legend has it, once broke the world record in the indoor pole vault with his best effort of 12-4, but held it for such a brief period that he never received official recognition for it. Rockne became the University’s first track coach in 1916 and the first cross country mentor in 1920. During his tenure, Rockne guided five Olympians and two Olympic medalists. The coach resigned his track responsibilities in 1928 to devote his energy to football until his death in 1931. Rooftop Coaching – Injured by a wild discus throw, John Nicholson (Irish track coach from 1927-40) sat on the roof of a car and shouted instructions to his runners through a megaphone during training. The method proved so effective that Nicholson made the car a regular part of his training regimen. Starting Blocks – John Nicholson bestowed upon the track world perhaps his greatest innovation, the starting block. His starting block caught on in the late 1920s and was well-received by the track community.

“You have a device which will materially make short distance, hurdle and relay racing more popular with both the public and athletes,” wrote former Illinois coach Harry Gill in a 1929 letter. “It appears to be a real help to track athletics.” John Griffith, former chairman of the NCAA track and field rules committee and commissioner of the Big Ten Conference, was equally impressed in a letter written the same year. “I have studied the pictures of your new starting device with a great deal of interest, and am of the opinion that you have made a distinct contribution to track athletics.” Sub-four – Jake Watson made history on June 2, 2007, at the Music City Distance Carnival (Nashville, Tenn.). It was there that he ran 3:59.4 over one mile, breaking the elusive four-minute barrier, but even more notably, joined his older brother Luke as just the second pair of brothers in American history to run sub-four minute miles. Luke, an Irish distance running legend and former assistant coach, first broke the barrier indoors at the 2002 Meyo Invitational. Jake performed the feat after earning his first career AllAmerica honors during the 2007 track and field season. The Watsons (Stillwater, Minn.) join twins Sean and John Jefferson who both broke four minutes in the 2005 Meyo Mile. Varsity – While the men’s track and field and cross country teams are two of the oldest teams at Notre Dame, dating back to the 19th century, the women’s program is only in its infancy, relatively, as the cross country team began in 1980, while the track and field squad first competed in 1991.

Greg Rice, billed as the greatest distance runner the United States has ever produced, was presented with the 1940 Sullivan Award as the nation’s top amateur athlete after he set a world three-mile record at the national championships. Named “the Little Man with a Big Finish,” Rice smashed the world three-mile record with a time of 13:51. He earned All-America honors in the mile in 1937, and also received those honors in the two-mile as he won the event in 1937 and ’39 and placed second in 1938. Rice was undefeated in 65 major indoor and outdoor races in just over three years with 10 world records in six different events. Rice became the firstever cross country national champion in 1938 when he ran the four-mile course in 20:12.9 to lead the Irish to a secondplace team finish. Born in 1916, Rice died in May of 1991.

Best-selling author Nicholas Sparks graduated in 1988 and was a two-time monogram winner in track and field. At Notre Dame, Sparks was a member of the 4x800-meter relay team, which still holds the outdoor school record. After pursuing a variety of jobs after graduation, he wrote his first published novel entitled “The Notebook,” which was released in 1996. It became one of only five novels published in the past 35 years that spent more than a year on the New York Times hardcover best seller list, and was eventually made into a movie in 2004 starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. His second novel, “Message in a Bottle,” was published in 1998 and remained a bestseller for 43 weeks. The film version, starring Kevin Costner, Paul Newman and Robin Wright Penn, opened at number one at the box office and grossed more than $100 million. His third novel, “A Walk to Remember,” was published in October 1999 and turned into a movie in 2002 starring Mandy Moore. In 2004, he was honored by Notre Dame with the first-ever Rev. Robert F. Griffin, C.S.C., Award, for establishing an initiative in the University’s Creative Writing Program that includes fellowships, internships and an annual Sparks Prize to support a student writer-inresidence. Nicholas Sparks is married and has five children. He lives in New Bern, N.C., and still runs nine miles a day.

A middle-distance track star at Notre Dame, Alex Wilson is a perfect example of an outstanding athlete and legendary coach. While at Notre Dame, Wilson was undefeated in the quarter- and halfmile events and set a national indoor record of 49.3 for the 440 in 1932. He set records in both the 440 and 880 races. Wilson also won the Amateur Athletic Union 600 and twice captured the Milrose 600. In 1928 and 1932, he competed in the Olympics for his native Canada and won a silver in the 800-meter race and a bronze in the 400-meter run in 1932. In 1950, after 18 years as a successful track and swimming coach at Loyola (Ill.), he returned to coach at Notre Dame. During his 23 years with the Irish, his teams finished in the national top-10 11 times. Wilson guided three track national champions, 28 track and eight cross country All-Americans and led the Irish to the cross country national championship in 1957. His teams appeared in the meet a total of 18 times. He was voted into the Canadian Track Hall of Fame in 1954 and in 1967 he was elected to the Helms Athletic Foundation Hall of Fame for his contributions as a track coach in the United States. In December 2008, Wilson was inducted into the U.S. Track and field and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Wilson was also honored as national coach of the year by the NCAA Cross Country Coaches Association in 1972, and an indoor track and field meet is held in his honor each year at Notre Dame. Wilson died Dec. 10, 1994, at the age of 87.

All-American 1969-70 U.S. Olympian Sullivan Award Winner Rick Wohlhuter, a two-time Olympian and 1971 Notre Dame graduate, was selected to the Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1991. Winner of an Olympic bronze medal in the 800 meters in 1976, he holds the distinction of being the last man to qualify for the Games in both the 800 - and 1,500meter events. Wohlhuter won the IC4A 880-yard title in 1971 and qualified for the Olympics in 1972. In addition to his appearance in the Games, Wohlhuter broke the U.S. 800meter record twice and twice set world records for the 880-yard race. He also set the world record for the 1,000 meters in 1974 and won the event the next three indoor seasons. Wohlhuter also won national outdoor titles in 1973 and ’74. In 1974 he earned the Sullivan Award as the nation’s top amateur athlete. A 1970 NCAA champion in the 600yard event, the two-time All-American was also a member of Notre Dame’s two-mile relay team which placed second in the nation in 1969. Wohlhuter joined John Beatty, the first man to break the four-minute mile indoors, high jumper Charles Dumas, a 1956 gold medalist and first jumper to clear seven feet, and Doris BrownHeritage, winner of 14 U.S. distance titles and five world cross country championships, as the 1991 Track and Field Hall of Fame inductees.

A 2001 graduate, Ryan Shay became the USA Marathon Champion in 2003, continuing the championship ways of his collegiate years. Shay is the most decorated athlete in the history of Notre Dame track and field. A 2001 NCAA champion in the 10,000 meters, Shay was a nine-time All-American including two honors for cross country, two for indoor track and five for outdoor track. His nine honors are the second-most in school history. In 2002, a fifth year of eligibility, Shay was named an Academic AllAmerican and had a second-place finish in the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Championship. Shay was a nine-time BIG EAST champion in his years at Notre Dame, with one of those victories coming in cross country. He also had seven top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championships in various distance events including the 3,000, 5,000 and 10,000 meters. In 2000, he competed for the right to represent the USA Track and field Team at the Olympic Games, finishing 10th in the Olympic Trials. Upon graduation, he held school records in the indoor 5,000 meters, the outdoor 5,000 meters and the 10,000 meters. Shay’s 2001 national championship was the first outdoor championship by a Notre Dame athlete since 1954. Shay died unexpectedly on Nov. 3, 2007 during the running of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Marathon trials in New York City. The 3,000m race at the Meyo Invitational was renamed the “Ryan Shay 3,000m run” in his honor.

Enjoying one of the best careers in the history of Notre Dame track and field, Luke Watson competed in one of the most exciting moments in the history of the track and field program. In January of 2003, Watson broke one of the great barriers in sports, the four-minute mile, in front of one of the largest crowds to ever see a track meet at Notre Dame. Watson’s mile of 3:57.83 was the fastest collegiate indoor mile in the country in ’03 and was only the second sub-four-minute mile in school history. In the ’03 season, Watson’s last with the Irish, he was honored as an All-American for the eighth time, including two for cross country, four for indoor track and two for outdoor track. He was also named an Academic AllAmerican in both the ’02 and ’03 seasons. Upon graduating, Watson had five top-10 finishes in the NCAA Championships, and two top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championship for cross country. Additionally, Watson held six school records upon graduation – the indoor and outdoor mile, the 3,000meter steeplechase, the indoor 3,000 meters, outdoor 5,000 meters and the distance medley relay. Watson was also a force to be reckoned with in the BIG EAST. During his career he was a six-time BIG EAST champion. He also led the 2003 Irish to BIG EAST Championships in both the indoor and outdoor seasons, the first time a Notre Dame team accomplished that feat.

Tameisha King graduated from Notre Dame in 2003, and left the University as its top female long jumper. King owns both the indoor and outdoor school records for the long jump, in addition to running in the school record 4x100-meter relay. She was a four-time All-American, with three of those honors coming during the outdoor season, and one during the indoor season. Each of her AllAmerica honors came in the long jump. King had five top-10 finishes in the NCAA Championship as well as four BIG EAST Championships to her credit. King also has a very impressive résumé outside of the collegiate spectrum. In 2001, as a sophomore, she placed second in the long jump at National Junior Track and field Championship, and went on to finish among the top 10 at the World Junior Championship in Santiago, Chile. King won the 2004 USA Track and Field indoor long jump title after finishing fourth in ’03. She also ended up sixth at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials and was the top finisher from the United States at the 2003 Pan American Games.

Molly Huddle graduated from Notre Dame in 2007 as one of the most decorated athletes in Irish sports history. Huddle concluded her career at the 2007 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, finishing third in the 5,000-meter run to earn her tenth AllAmerica selection, a record for the most All-America selections by a Notre Dame athlete in any sport. Huddle’s other accolades include six BIG EAST track titles, the most by any Irish woman, and four NCAA Mideast Regional 5,000-meter titles. She set records across the board by being the first woman in BIG EAST history to win both the outdoor 5,000meter and 10,000-meter race in back-to-back years as well as being named the BIG EAST Outstanding Outdoor Track Performer for two consecutive seasons. Former sprinter Liz Grow is the only other Irish athlete to win the award, receiving the honor in 2002. Huddle posted top-four finishes in each of her four NCAA 5,000m appearances, taking the runner-up spot in 2006. She currently holds four Irish school records (indoor 3,000m & 5,000m/outdoor 5,000m & 10,000m) as well as the BIG EAST meet record in the 10,000m. Huddle’s success was not limited to the track. In her freshman season of cross country she was named the 2003 NCAA Great Lakes Regional Runner of the Year after her first-place performance. She earned All-America honors in 2002, 2003 and 2005. Huddle, currently the American women’s record holder in the 5,000 meters, won the women’s 5,000-meter title at the 2011 USA Track and Field Championships in June and qualified for the 2012 London Olympic Games after finishing second in the 5,000m at the U.S. Olympic Trials.

A 2009 graduate, Mary Saxer made a name for herself at Notre Dame and after graduation as an elite pole vaulter. Saxer won three BIG EAST titles and was named an All-American twice during her time in the Irish blue and gold. Saxer’s BIG EAST titles all came in a row, as she claimed the outdoor titles in 2008 and 2009, and the indoor title in 2009. She earned her All-America scrolls in 2009 after she finished ninth during the indoor season and third during the outdoor season. Saxer held both Notre Dame records at the time of her graduation in the indoor (4.15m) and outdoor (4.30m). Following graduation, Saxer has turned in an impressive pole vault career. She qualified for the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Feb. 2012 after finishing second with a vault of 4.62m at the U.S. Indoor Track and Field Championships. Later in 2012, Saxer was named an alternate for the 2012 London Olympic Games after tying for third at the U.S. Olympic Trials, but did not make the Olympic team because of total misses. Other top finishes through 2012 were a third place finish at the 2010 U.S. Outdoor National Championships and a third place showing at the Diamond League Meet in Shanghai.

A four-time All-American and three-time BIG EAST Champion, Liz Grow graduated from Notre Dame in the spring of 2002. During her time with the Irish, Grow was a standout 400m runner, earning All-America honors in the event during the 2001 and 2002 indoor seasons and during the 2002 outdoor season. She also ran a leg of the outdoor 4x400m relay team that was tabbed All-Americans in 2002. She finished eighth in the country in the indoor 400m during 2001, and bettered herself the next year with a fourth place showing. The 4x400m relay team took fifth in 2002. In BIG EAST competition, Grow won the indoor 400m in 2000, and the outdoor 400m in 2001 and 2002. At the time of graduation, Grow held both of the Notre Dame records in the 400m, including indoor (52.14) and outdoor (52.05).

Kevin Schipper used a brilliant four-year career to cement himself as the best vaulter in Notre Dame and BIG EAST history. Schipper won six BIG EAST titles, with all coming from his sophomore to senior years. The Leo, Ind., native came on the heels of his older brother, Matt, who won three BIG EAST pole vault titles of his own. Between the two, a Schipper won nine of 10 titles from indoor 2008 to outdoor 2012. A contender on the national level as well, Schipper earned All-America honors twice, once during outdoor 2010, and once during indoor 2012. Schipper placed eighth in the event at the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Championships after clearing 5.30m. He added an indoor All-America scroll after placing fourth at the 2012 NCAA Indoor Championships with a vault of 5.45m. The vault tied a Notre Dame indoor record. He also owned the outdoor record with a vault of 5.40m at the time he left Notre Dame. Schipper graduated in the spring of 2012.

A two-time NCAA Champion in the discus, Tom Lieb won a bronze medal at the 1924 Paris Olympic Games. A three-sport star at Notre Dame in track and field, football and hockey, Lieb won the discus at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 1922 and 1923, earning All-America honors each year, while monograming in 1922 and 1923. Lieb broke the world record in the discus after the Olympics with a throw of 47.61m. Lieb won AAU discus titles in 1923 and 1924, and is credited with inventing the modern day spin technique in the discus. Away from the track, Lieb monogramed in football in 1921 and 1922, playing right tackle and wearing No. 35 for the Irish. While in Notre Dame graduate school, Lieb helped coach the track and field, hockey and football teams. He was the head hockey coach from 192326, posting a 3-8-3 record, and he was the first assistant under head football coach Knute Rockne from 1924-25 and again in 1929, helping the Irish win a national title. After leaving Notre Dame, he coached football at Wisconsin, Loyola Marymount (Calif.) and Florida, and was the head coach at the last two spots. At Florida he also served as the school’s athletics director. After Florida, was an assistant football coach at the University of Alabama and served as the school’s head track and field coach from 1946-1951. Lieb started Loyola’s hockey program, leading the team to four consecutive Pacific Coast Intercollegiate League titles from 1935-38, posting a record of 38-3-2. He was inducted into the Loyola Marymount Hall of Fame in 1987.

n June 2008, ground was broken for the construction of a new $3 million, nine-lane outdoor track complex, with the 2009-10 school year marking the first season of practice in the new facility for the Irish. The new track, located southeast of the Joyce Center, will eventually become a full complex as the school continues to raise money for the building of a $5 million stadium portion of the track, which will be used to play host to outdoor meets in the coming years. The track meets IAAF guidelines and features the widest possible turns. One synthetic “D” zone is provided at the south end of the track. Throwing and jumping events are located in two directions, and a warm-up area can be found at one end of the track.

Season Preview

After winning the BIG EAST indoor and outdoor titles in 2013, the Irish women’s track and field squad sets its sights on the ACC in 2014.


Cross country preview Irish Cross Country Enters Formidable ACC With High Expectations Coming off a 2012 season where both of the University of Notre Dame men’s and women’s cross country squads advanced to the NCAA Championship, big expectations surround both programs as many key veterans return for the 2013 campaign. The move to the Atlantic Coast Conference brings new challenges and new rivalries, but both teams appear to be up to the test. Guiding them will be seasoned veterans Joe Piane (men) and Tim Connelly (women). These two coaches welcome back 10 runners (six men, four women) that ran at the NCAA Championship meet. A whole host of talented underclassmen will look to fill spots and help the team out as the season goes along.

1,500m at the World University Games. Martin (Grady), Walter (Schafer), Jake (Kildoo), DJ (Thornton) and J.P. (Malette) all improved during the track season and into summer. This list doesn’t even include the sophomores that didn’t run last year and the incoming freshmen. We have a deep team with 14 or 15 guys that could eventually help us out throughout the season.” At the top of the lineup are all-BIG EAST standouts Rae (3rd), Grady (9th) and Malette (14th). Grady (9th) and Malette (23rd) went on to earn all-Great Lakes Region accolades along with Schafer (18th). Rae was injured in the region meet and was forced to miss the national championships and the indoor track and field season while recovering.

Last year the women finished 15th at the national meet, their best showing since 2005, while the men placed 28th without standout Jeremy Rae. At the last BIG EAST Championship, the men’s squad placed third with the women taking fifth. At the Great Lakes Regional meet the teams flipped results, but both earned at-large spots in the field based on successful regular seasons.

“Jeremy (Rae) realizes he has only two seasons of eligibility left (cross country and indoor track and field) and I know he has lofty goals for himself,” said Piane. “Jeremy could easily be an All-American in cross country and help propel his team to the top three at the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) meet. Martin (Grady) has been to the NCAAs in cross country and track and field and is just a good all-around distance runner. I expect big things out of him this year. With Walter (Schafer), I think this could finally be his year. He is finally healthy and had a terrific summer of training.”

Now a year older the Irish look to make a good first impression on an ACC that is filled with talented programs and runners on their way to improved finishes at both the Great Lakes and NCAA competitions.

Veterans Kildoo and Thornton also return good experience as both ran at all three postseason meets last year, with Kildoo claiming 22nd at the BIG EAST meet and Thornton taking 42nd in the 114-runner field.

MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY

Sophomores Timothy Ball, Michael Clevenger and Kevin Durham only ran at the two home meets, but are expected to compete more in their second year in the program. All three turned in top-25 finishes at the National Catholic Championships.

Under the leadership of the 38-year veteran Piane, the men’s cross country squad brings back all six runners from last year’s NCAA Championships and the track and field All-American in Rae, who missed last year’s NCAAs with an injury. “I think it has the potential to be a very good year,” said Piane. “Everyone that returns from last year’s core group got better during the track and field season. Jeremy (Rae) finished second in the

The list of freshmen that could help the Irish this season is long, but Piane pointed out by name Jacob Dumford, Nicolas Laureano, Chris Marco, Scott Milling and Kris Moran.

With so much talent returning, the Irish look to make a run for a title in a deep ACC. “The great thing about distance running is that there are no limits,” said Piane. “There is a real relationship between the amount of work that you put in and the results you get. Our guys can be as good as they want to be.”

WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY The Irish women’s team brings back four runners from their impressive 15th place finish at the NCAA Championship, but loses track and field All-American Rebecca Tracy to graduation. However, 25-year veteran Connelly feels like the Irish have the ability to be a better team. “The goal for us is to get better every year,” said Connelly. “We lost Rebecca, who was an outstanding runner and leader, but everyone that is returning has gotten better from last year.” Connelly immediately pointed to senior Alexa Aragon, who was injured leading into last year’s cross country season but went on to All-America campaigns in both indoor and outdoor track and field, senior Kelly Curran, who made great strides on the track after being one of the team’s top cross country runners in 2012 and Molly Seidel, who was healthy for only a couple of months all of last season but has trained well since June. Curran earned all-BIG EAST and allregion honors last year before finishing 100th out of 253 runners at the NCAA meet. Aragon earned all-region accolades and then placed 98th at the NCAA Championships, while Seidel earned all-region honors after overcoming an injury that kept her from training most of the summer leading into her freshman campaign. Aragon and Curran also provide good leadership for the team. “Both Alexa (Aragon) and Kelly (Curran) understand what it takes to compete at a really high level,” said

Connelly. “The expectations they have for themselves and everyone else are really high. Other top returnees include Gabby Gonzales and Hannah Eckstein, who both saw action in the postseason. Gonzales ran at BIG EAST and NCAAs, while Eckstein competed at BIG EAST and the region meet. Both turned in top-25 showings at the conference meet before Eckstein placed 22nd at the region meet and Gonzales finished second on the team and 97th overall at NCAAs. Aragon’s sister, Dani, is ready for her sophomore campaign after earning AllAmerica honors with the distance medley relay team during the indoor track and field season. The younger Aragon has had a good summer of training and is expected to be a big addition to the team after competing in a handful of meets last year, finishing 25th at the BIG EAST Championship. A pair of freshmen in Taylor Driscoll and Gabrielle Thivierge could be set to compete right away. Some of the many accomplishments of this pair include a ninth-place finish by Driscoll at the 2012 Nike Cross Country Nationals and a fifthplace finish at the Michigan DI high school cross country meet by Thivierge. “Gabrielle (Thivierge) had a really good high school career,” said Connelly. “The thing that impressed me about her is that she always ran her best race at the big meets like the state championships. She is a really good competitor and I think once she figures out what we’re doing here she’ll respond and compete really well. “Taylor is from a great high school program. She is from the same high school as former Irish All-American Lindsey Ferguson and has competed at a high level for a very long time.” With all this talent on the roster, Connelly’s main focus is developing runners that can compete with anyone in the country. “Last year we didn’t have someone that could be near the front of a big meet,” said Connelly. “We were great at

pack running as evidenced by the group we had that were all within a couple seconds of each other at the NCAA meet. However, this year I think we have the potential to have three to four runners that could all be impact people.” If Connelly and the Irish can develop those impact runners, Notre Dame’s first year in the ACC should be one to remember.

SCHEDULE Despite the University of Notre Dame joining the ACC this season, the 2013 men’s and women’s cross country schedule looks very similar to previous years - with one exception. Instead of heading to the Northeast for the BIG EAST Championship meet, the Irish will head to the Southeast for the ACC league meet. The first ACC meet in program history takes place Friday, Nov. 1 in WinstonSalem, N.C., with Wake Forest playing host. “It’s a spectacular conference,” said Piane. “On the men’s side you have NCAA Championship teams Florida State, Virginia Tech, Duke, Virginia and N.C. State. Florida State finished fifth at the national meet, while Virginia Tech won the ACC meet. Then you add in Syracuse, who won the BIG EAST last year, and us and you have six teams that competed in the 31-team NCAA field. That’s pretty remarkable.” “Our transition to the ACC is easier than most Notre Dame teams,” said Connelly. “Our schedule is exactly the same minus one meet. Plus we compete against a lot of these teams at the Notre Dame Invitational, in Wisconsin and at NCAAs. We are going from one really good cross country conference to another and we are looking forward to the challenge.” Following the league meet, the Irish head to Madison, Wis., for the NCAA Great Lakes Regionals Friday, Nov. 15. Last year the women took third and the men placed fifth to earn at-large invitations to the NCAA Championship.

The NCAA meet makes its return to Terre Haute, Ind., and the LaVern Gibson National Championship Cross Country Course after one year away. The course has played host to elite teams and runners in nine of the last 10 seasons. This year’s meet is slated for Saturday, Nov. 23. “What we try to do with our schedule is compete in some big meets that can help us get at-large points in order to qualify for the NCAA Championship meet,” said Piane “This year we have three of those sort of meets on the schedule - the Notre Dame and Wisconsin Invitationals and the ACC Championships. We structure the schedule every year with this idea in mind. Last year the men’s team wouldn’t have gotten in the field without those at-large points.” Notre Dame’s regular season looks the same as the last several before it. The Irish open up with the Crusader Invitational in Valparaiso, Ind., Friday, Sept. 6, before playing host to the annual National Catholic Championships (Friday, Sept. 20) and the Notre Dame Invitational (Friday, Oct. 4). Both meets will be at the Notre Dame Golf Course, which is the on-campus nine-hole course that was formerly called the Burke Golf Course. The National Catholic Championships have been run every year since 1980 on the men’s side and 1984 on the women’s side. A staple since 1956 on the men’s side and 1987 on the women’s side, the Notre Dame Invitational routinely welcomes in many of the nation’s elite programs. The Irish wrap up the regular season at the Wisconsin Invitational (Saturday, Oct. 19). The elite meet welcomes in some of the best teams in the country year in and year out. Last year the Irish women placed 12th, while the men’s squad took 26th.

Track & Field Preview

Fighting Irish

Track And Field Heads To ACC With Conference And National Goals In Mind The two programs finished in the top three at the two BIG EAST meets 55 times in 18 years. After dominating the BIG EAST for almost two decades, the University of Notre Dame men’s and women’s track and field programs have their bags packed for the Atlantic Coast Conference, with their first taste of the new league coming at the ACC Indoor Championships in late February and early March 2014. In 18 years in the BIG EAST, the two teams combined to win 18 indoor or outdoor titles and finished in the top three a whopping 55 times. The Irish also won 18 Coaching Staff of the Year trophies and 12 Most Outstanding Track Athlete plaques. A new league brings new competition, but not new expectations as the Irish look to win conference titles and qualify student-athletes for the NCAA Championships like they have for decades. National success has picked up significantly for the Irish since 2011, as Notre Dame student-athletes have earned 60 honorable mention All-America or All-America (first or second team) scrolls (28 men, 32 women), highlighted by a national championship from the men’s distance medley relay team in 2012 at the indoor championships. “I think we could have as good a team (men’s and women’s) or better as we did last year,” says 39-year head track and field coach Joe Piane. “Both squads are broadbased teams with good competitors in all areas, which is essential to compete in the highly-competitive ACC.” Some of Notre Dame’s top competitors include national powers Florida State and Virginia Tech on the men’s side and the Seminoles and Clemson on the women’s side. Leading the Irish against these new conference foes is a veteran staff that has a combined 78 years of Notre Dame experience. Under Piane is women’s cross country head coach and assistant coach for women’s distance Tim Connelly (25 years), associate head coach for sprints and hurdles Alan Turner (three years), assistant coach for throws Adam Beltran (six years), assistant for recruiting and men’s distance Sean Carlson (one year) and assistant coach for jumps and the multi-events Jim Garnham (five years). Turner is coming off a remarkable year where his athletes dominated at the BIG EAST meet as he earned USTFCCCA Great Lakes Region Men’s and Women’s Assistant Coach of the Year honors during the outdoor season and Men’s Assistant Coach of the Year accolades following the indoor season. “It’s great to have a stable staff,” said Piane. “That’s what we are accustomed to and provides us great continuity. It’s pretty rare around the country to have a staff that stays together for a while, but it really helps us because they all know what their roles are and they know what they are supposed to do. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel every year which is great.”

Here’s an in-depth look at both squads: MEN’S TRACK AND FIELD After closing out their time in the BIG EAST with a pair of runner-up finishes at the indoor and outdoor championships, the Irish move to the ACC looking to compete right away. From the indoor season, both event champions and five of the six all-BIG EAST performers that won eight of the 10 all-conference scrolls are back. These include graduate student and heptathlon champion Ted Glasnow and senior Patrick Feeney, who is a three-time BIG EAST champion and reigning first team All-American in the 400m. Joining Feeney at the NCAAs was junior Chris Giesting, who is a fellow first team All-American in the 400m. Giesting (400m), Jarrod Buchanon (400m Hurdles), Jack Favorite (4x800m Relay) and Eddy Gibbons (4x800m Relay) all won BIG EAST outdoor titles last season and return this season to compete during both seasons, while fifth-year student Jeremy Rae (1,500m) is eligible for the indoor season only. Eight of the nine all-BIG EAST winners from the outdoor championships are back for at least one of the track and field seasons, which includes first team All-American Rae (1,500m) and honorable mention All-Americans Buchanon, Feeney and Giesting from the 4x400m relay team and Feeney in the 400m dash.

SPRINTS / HURDLES When taking a look at the men’s sprints group one must start with standouts Feeney and Giesting, who are roommates and close friends in addition to being two of the best sprinters in the country. The duo has traded school records, won BIG EAST titles and earned AllAmerica scrolls in two seasons together. “Pat (Feeney) and Chris (Giesting) are a coach’s dream,” says associate head coach Alan Turner. “They are talented kids who work their butt off. They lead by example and they believe in what I’m saying. It’s just a joy to work with those two every day. If we had a team with studentathletes like those guys we would win the National Championship pretty easy.” While both student-athletes thrived in the indoor season as each earned first team All-America honors in the 400m dash, neither finished the outdoor season satisfied as injuries prevented both from performing as well as they would have liked. 2013-14 will be their final season together as Feeney finishes up his eligibility. Joining Feeney and Giesting is reigning BIG EAST 400m hurdle champion Buchanon and five talented freshmen: Alex Groesch (sprints), Andrew Helmin (hurdles), John Rutkowski (sprints), Harvey Smith (sprints) and Conner Stapleton (sprints). These newcomers will look to replace all-BIG EAST performer Brendan Dougherty, who graduated last May. Turner hopes with some work that two of these freshmen can team with Feeney and Giesting to create a pretty powerful 4x400m relay team for the two NCAA meets.

MIDDLE DISTANCE / DISTANCE Highlighting the men’s middle distance and distance squads is fifth-year student Jeremy Rae, who returns just for the indoor season after missing last year with an injury that occurred during the cross country season. In his previous indoor season, Rae won an NCAA championship with the men’s distance medley relay team by running a fantastic mile in the last leg of the race. Helping to push Rae will be Arizona State transfer Nick Happe, who enrolled in law school this fall. Happe has made appearances at the NCAA Championships in both the mile and 3,000m run during his four-year career with the Sun Devils. Other veterans who have made impacts at the conference level in past years are graduate student J.P. Malette, junior Jake Kildoo, senior Martin Grady and sophomore Michael Clevenger. A handful of newcomers could make a splash as early as this season as Kris Moran, Scott Milling and Nick Laureano all bring strong high school credentials to the Irish.

THROWS Five throwers return from 2012-13 and one elite newcomer joins the fold to give assistant coach Adam Beltran a solid base with which to work with as the group gets settle to battle a tough ACC. Back are seniors Andrew Brock and Jordan Stumph and junior Dominick Padovano, who all boast BIG EAST Championship experience. Padovano took fourth in the discus at last year’s BIG EAST Outdoor Championships. Joining the trio is high school standout Anthony Shivers, who was widely regarded as one of the top high school discus throwers in the country as a junior and senior.

JUMPS Seasoned veterans return for the Irish in the jumps as senior standout Logan Renwick and juniors Keith Mesidor and David Schipper all have conference championship experience. An All-American in the classroom, Renwick does pretty well for himself on the track as well as he won the BIG EAST outdoor triple jump in 2012 and finished third in the outdoor long jump in 2013 in addition to scoring points 10 times throughout his career. Renwick has also qualified for the NCAA East Preliminary Round twice in his three-year career. Mesidor, meanwhile, advanced to the NCAA East Preliminary Round in the long jump after finishing fourth in the event at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships. Schipper and teammate Patrick Krach both look to make an impact in a talented pole vaulting league. The former has scored points at multiple conference meets.

MULTI-EVENTS Fifth-year student Ted Glasnow paces the multi-events unit as he looks to burst onto the national scene in his final campaign in the Irish uniform. Last year Glasnow won the BIG EAST heptathlon during the indoor season and took third in the decathlon during the outdoor season. The third-place finish was the second straight for the Newhall, Calif., native in the event at the BIG EAST meet.

Track & Field Preview Learning under the tutelage of Glasnow and assistant coach is sophomore Brent Swanberg, who placed eighth in the heptathlon at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships before suffering an injury and missing the entire outdoor season.

WOMEN’S TRACK AND FIELD After leaving the BIG EAST in style with a pair of dominating performances at both the indoor and outdoor championships, the Irish look to continue their winning ways in the ACC. From the indoor season, two of the three event champions, all four members of the victorious 4x400m relay team and 11 of the 14 all-BIG EAST performers that claimed 19 of the 24 all-conference scrolls are back. These include the co-Most Outstanding Track Performer Jade Barber (60m hurdles, 4x400m relay), senior Michelle Brown (400m, 4x400m relay), sophomore Margaret Bamgbose (4x400m relay) and senior Megan Yanik (4x400m relay). Barber (60m hurdles, 4x400m relay) and Brown (DMR, 4x400m relay) went on to earn two All-America scrolls at the NCAA Indoor Championships and were joined by teammates Alexa and Danielle Aragon (DMR), Yanik (4x400m relay), Bamgbose (4x400m relay) and Kelly Curran (DMR) as 2013-14 returners that earned All-America accolades. From a dominating outdoor BIG EAST season returns all three individual event champions and all eight members of the two relay champions. In addition, 11 of the 13 all-BIG EAST honorees that won 20 of the 23 all-BIG EAST citations are back for their first shot at the ACC Championship. Back for another shot at the NCAA Championships include first team All-American Alexa Aragon (3,000m steeplechase), second team AllAmericans Jade Barber (100m hurdles), Michelle Brown (400m) and Carly Loeffel (heptathlon) and seven honorable mention All-America honorees in four events.

SPRINTS / HURDLES A deep sprints and hurdles group that dominated the BIG EAST last season returns under associate head coach Alan Turner. Leading the charge are junior sisters Jade and Kaila Barber and senior Michelle Brown. J. Barber had an outstanding sophomore campaign where she earned USTFCCCA Great Lakes Women’s Track Athlete of the Year honors in addition to all-BIG EAST and All-America accolades. “People don’t know this, but Jade is still learning the hurdle events,” said Turner. “Last year she got a grasp of most of it and she did very well. She has yet to put together 10 solid hurdles in a race. They’ll be one hurdle where she’ll clip it or not bring her trail leg around all the way. If she can put it all together, she can be a national champion.” K. Barber had an injury-filled sophomore campaign after an outstanding freshman season where she competed at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Brown swept the 400m races at the BIG EAST meets last year and went on to earn All-America honors during both seasons. The Irish only lost standout hurdler Nevada Sorenson and also return talented performers Bamgbose, Aijah Urssery, Megan Yanik and Amber Lalla. All four earned earned all-BIG EAST or All-America honors.

Fighting Irish Turner is especially high on Bamgbose, who thrived as a freshman as she ran with veteran runners for much of the season. “I think we are just seeing how good Margaret (Bamgbose) can be,” said Turner. “I think she could have a breakout year this season. Usually my athletes get accustomed to my training during the first year and then take off their second season. Margaret is definitely one to watch out for.” Joining the fold is talented freshman hurdler Taylor Craft, who Turner expects to be competitive immediately.

MIDDLE DISTANCE / DISTANCE Despite losing All-American Rebecca Tracy to graduation, assistant head coach Tim Connelly has a deep pool of runners that should contribute at the conference and national level led by senior All-Americans Alexa Aragon and Kelly Curran. Aragon earned first team All-America accolades for the distance medley relay and the 3,000m steeplechase, while Curran was on the DMR team that placed seventh. Other returning standouts include sophomore and fellow first team All-American in the DMR Danielle Aragon and veterans McKinzie Schulz, Gabby Gonzales and Emily Frydrych, who are all point scorers for the Irish at the conference level. Newcomers looking to make an immediate impact on the team include freshmen Taylor Driscoll, Gabrielle Thivierge and Catherine Lombardo.

THROWS A veteran throws unit led by junior Emily Morris returns for assistant coach Adam Beltran. Morris qualified for the NCAA East Preliminary Round in the shot put for the second year in a row after taking third in the event at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships. Morris made big improvements as sophomore according to Beltran as she PR’d by over a foot after making some technical changes. Also returning is junior Ihuoma Nwaogwugwu, who took eighth in the weight throw at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships and senior Vivien Devaney, who qualified for the NCAA East Preliminary Round in the hammer throw and is also a talented weight thrower. Newcomer Josephine Jackson is expected to contribute immediately in the shot put.

JUMPS A deep jumps unit looks to contribute in the ACC immediately for assistant coach Jim Garnham. Seniors Kelly Burke and Jessie Christian and junior Mary-Esther Gourdin all boast conference championship experience in the triple jump, with Burke and Gourdin scoring points last year in the event. Meanwhile, Christian placed sixth in the long jump. Elsewhere in the long jump, Kaila Barber is back for her junior campaign and will be joined by talented freshman Emily Carson. As a freshman, Barber took fourth in the event at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships. In the pole vault, Buke, junior Kayla Polcari and senior Kathryn Barousse all are looking to make a splash at the conference meet. Last year Burke placed fourth in the event at the BIG EAST outdoor meet.

MULTI-EVENTS After earning second team All-America honors in the heptathlon during the outdoor season, junior Carly Loeffel is back for her third year with the Irish as she looks to make another run at an All-America scroll. Garnham sees Loeffel competing for ACC titles in the pentathlon and heptathlon, as well as a top eight finish at the NCAAs. “Carly has all the tools to score well at NCAAs,” said Garnham. The sixth-year head coach also has high expectations for senior Meghan Moore and freshman Laura Wendelberger. Last year Moore took sixth in the pentathlon and fifth in the heptathlon at the BIG EAST Championships.

SCHEDULE The Irish will continue their tradition of holding four home indoor meets at the Loftus Sports Center during the 25-meet 2013-14 indoor and outdoor schedule. The four classic home meets include the Blue & Gold Invitational (Dec. 6), the Notre Dame Invitational (Jan. 25), the Meyo Invitational (Feb. 7-8) and the Alex Wilson Invitational (Feb. 22). The Meyo Invitational, named after Notre Dame’s home Meyo Track and host of the famous Meyo Mile race, will occur for the 28th time. “We like to stay as local as we can during the indoor season since we have the biggest indoor track in the country,” said Piane. But during the outdoor season we chase great weather as we look to get individuals qualified for the NCAA Championships.” The Blue & Gold meet opens up the season for the Irish in December with just one away meet following before the end of 2013. Notre Dame begins 2014 with four meets in January, including the Notre Dame Invitational. Last year, the women’s team won the invitational while the men took second. The end of January sees both the Indiana Relays in Bloomington, Ind., and the New Mexico Team Invitational in Albuquerque, N.M., to prepare for the Meyo Invitational during the first week of February. “The New Mexico meet should be a great one for us,” said Piane. “New Mexico, Air Force, UCLA and LSU should all be there for us to compete against and will offer us some great competition as we get ready for the Meyo Invitational and later the ACC and NCAA meets.” The last home indoor meet the team will play host to is the Alex Wilson Invitational at the end of February before the ACC Championships (Feb. 27 - March 1) and NCAA Championships (March 14-15). The outdoor season kicks off with the Texas Relays (March 26-27) in Austin, Texas. The Irish have five away meets in the month of April, including the ACC Championships in Chapel Hill, N.C. (April 17-19). May consists of six meets that culminates with the NCAA East Preliminary Round in Jacksonville, Fla. The NCAA Championships are scheduled for Eugene, Ore., June 11-14 for those who qualify at the preliminary round. “There are ample opportunities throughout the indoor and outdoor schedule for individuals to qualify for the NCAA meets,” said Piane. “You have to have a wide variety of meets for the athletes that are definitely going to be national qualifiers and the ones you hope can become national qualifiers. This schedule accommodates everyone’s needs.”

NOTRE DAME Fighting Irish

Coaching Staff

The full cross country & track and field coaching staff returns for head coach Joe Piane (right) in 2013-14. Last year Adam Beltran, Jim Garnham, Tim Connelly, Sean Carlson, Alan Turner and Piane earned BIG EAST Women’s Coaching Staff of the Year honors after leading the women’s program to league championships during both the indoor and outdoor seasons.


Joe Piane

Fighting Irish

JOE PiANE Head Men’s Cross Country Coach Head Men’s & Women’s Track & Field Coach 39th Season Loras College ’69 Veteran head coach Joe Piane has become a fixture around the Notre Dame campus during his storied tenure as the head of the men’s cross country and men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track & field programs. After a year as an assistant in 1974, Piane has led the Irish for the last 38 campaigns and is the longest active tenured coach at Notre Dame. Piane begins his 39th season under the Golden Dome in the fall of 2013. Piane’s tenure is now the second longest of any coach in Fighting Irish history, trailing only baseball coach Jake Kline’s 42 seasons (1934-75). His teams continue to compete at the highest level, as the men’s cross country team advanced to the NCAA Championships for the 22nd time in 29 seasons in 2012. The squad placed 28th in the nation and saw Martin Grady, Walter Schafer and J.P. Malette earn all-region honors. In track the squads ended their run in the BIG EAST (1996-2013) in fine fashion as the women claimed both titles while the men finished second twice. During the program’s time in the league, the men’s team won 13 indoor and outdoor titles with the women chipping in five more titles. For their efforts, Piane and his staff earned league coaching staff of the year honors all 18 times they won championships. 2013 proved to be an outstanding year nationally as 23 Irish standouts earned some form of AllAmerica honors. Highlighting the group were first team standouts Jade Barber (60mH), Patrick Feeney (400m), Chris Giesting (400m), Rebecca Tracy (mile) and the women’s distance medley relay team during the indoor season and Jeremy Rae (1,500m), Rebecca Tracy (1,500m) and Alexa Aragon (3,000m SC) during the outdoor campaign. The 2011-12 season also turned out to be a great one for the Irish on the track. The men’s squad saw Jonathan Shawel, Giesting, Randall Babb and Rae win the national championship and earn All-America honors in the distance medley relay at the NCAA Indoor Championships, marking the 22nd-consecutive season at least one men’s runner earned AllAmerica status. Pole vaulter Kevin Schipper also earned All-America honors at the national indoor meet after finishing fourth. Notre Dame finished in 12th place with 15 points. The Irish swept the BIG EAST indoor and outdoor championships, winning their fifth indoor crown and their eighth outdoor title. A total of 10 individual or

22

relay titles helped Notre Dame cruise to victories at both meets. On the women’s side, the program made great strides, placing fourth at the BIG EAST Indoor Championships, and second at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships after placing eighth during the indoor season and 10th during the outdoor season in 2011. The Irish won three individual or relay titles between the two meets. Maddie Buttinger turned in an All-American performance at the NCAA Indoor Championships, placing third in the pentathlon to help the Irish to a tie for 38th place with six points. During the outdoor season, Rebecca Tracy was named second team AllAmerica in the 1,500m at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Piane’s record at Notre Dame speaks for itself. Just consider the accomplishments Notre Dame athletes have made under Piane’s watchful eye: • Men’s cross country runners have earned AllAmerican status 26 times, with Patrick Smyth taking home the honor in 2008. • A Notre Dame men’s cross country runner has appeared at the NCAA Championship meet in each of the past 23 years, while the men’s team has made the trip 22 out of the past 29 years. • The Notre Dame men’s cross country team has finished in the top-10 at the NCAA meet in 11 of the past 24 seasons, highlighted by third-place finishes in 1990 and 2005 (matching the program’s best showing since winning the 1957 NCAA title). • The Irish men’s cross country team won five BIG EAST Conference titles from 1995-2012, including crowns in 2004 and 2005. What’s more Notre Dame men’s runners have earned all-BIG EAST honors 47 times, with a school-record five runners receiving that distinction in `05. • The Irish men’s track and field team has earned 90 All-America citations since 1974, while the women’s team has received 61 such accolades since 1994. Combined, Piane has helped mentor 151 track and field All-Americans (and 177 overall when including men’s cross country honorees) during his tenure.

| UNIVERSITY of NOTRE DAME®

• Both the Notre Dame men’s and women’s track and field teams were champions in 2007 with the Irish men taking the indoor title and the Irish women claiming their first outdoor team championship. The men also claimed the 2008 and 2009 BIG EAST outdoor titles and the 2010 and 2012 BIG EAST indoor and outdoor titles. In the program’s last year in the league in 2013, the women swept both the indoor and outdoor crowns. Overall the men’s team has won 13 BIG EAST titles (five indoor/eight outdoor), while the women’s squad has hoisted the hardware five times (three indoor/two outdoor). A model of consistency, the men’s team has finished in the top three at the indoor and outdoor meets in 35 of a possible 36 meets, while the women have finished in the topthree 20 times out of 34 opportunities. • In the school’s 18-year BIG EAST membership (1995-96 to 2012-13), Notre Dame athletes won 166 conference individual or relay titles in track and field and cross country, with 12 student-athletes named the conference’s outstanding track or field performer at its indoor or outdoor championship meets. A distance-coaching specialist, Piane is recognized across the nation as one of the best in the business. He has been named NCAA Division I National Cross Country Coach of the Year on two different occasions (1987 and 2001) while garnering five district/regional coach-of-the-year honors and nine league cross country coach-of-the-year plaques. In total, Piane and his track and field staff have earned 18 BIG EAST Staff of the Year awards. Individually, Piane and his assistants at Notre Dame produced six All-Americans in track and field in 2009 with three during the indoor season and three during the outdoor season. Mary Saxer became Notre Dame’s first-ever women’s pole vault All-American, earning her first All-America honor at the NCAA Indoor Championships. She earned her second AllAmerica citation at the outdoor meet later that season. Joanna Schultz earned her first All-America honor with an eighth-place finish in the 400 meters at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Jaclyn Espinoza


Joe Piane

Fighting Irish

finished third in the discus at the outdoor championships to earn her first All-America recognition as well. Smyth earned his sixth and seventh All-America honors in 2009. His combined seven All-America honors are the third most in Irish men’s track and field/cross country history behind only Ryan Shay (nine) and Luke Watson (eight). Piane’s success has not just been in the present, as three of his more successful pupils in recent years have been 10-time All-American Molly Huddle (2007), Ryan Shay (2001) and Luke Watson (2002). Huddle finished her career under Piane with 10 All-America certificates, a record for the most AllAmerica selections by a Notre Dame athlete in any sport. The Elmira, N.Y., native had seven career BIG EAST championships, including back-to-back double victories in the 5,000-meters and the 10,000-meters in her last two seasons. Her seven championships are the most by any Irish woman and she joins former student-athlete Liz Grow as Notre Dame’s only athletes to be named the BIG EAST Outstanding Outdoor Track Performer in two consecutive years (2006, 2007). She holds four Irish school records (indoor 3,000-meters and 5,000-meters/outdoor 5,000-meters and 10,000-meters). Huddle made news in the summer of 2011 when she set an American women’s record in the 5,000 meters. In 2012, she qualified for the London Olympics in the 5,000m after finishing second at the U.S. Olympic Trials. In 2001, Piane helped distance specialist Shay compile one of the greatest track seasons in Notre Dame history. The Central Lake, Mich., resident won the BIG EAST indoor 5,000-meters, the conference outdoor 5,000-meters and 10,000-meters and finished off the season in legendary style by becoming Notre Dame’s first individual NCAA champion since 1972 by taking first place in the 10,000 meters (29:05.44) at the NCAA Outdoor Championship in Eugene, Ore. Shay moved on to become one of the best marathon runners in the country, winning five U.S. titles as well as USA Running Circuit (USARC) titles in 2003 and 2004. Tragically, Shay’s life was cut short as he died suddenly during the running of the 2008 U.S. Olympic marathon trials in New York City. Shortly after helping steer Shay to the top of the college running mountain, Piane had similar success

with Watson. Both men had set their sights on breaking the four-minute mile barrier at the Meyo Invitational in 2002, hoping that Watson would become just the second Irish runner to crack the mark. Piane helped assemble an outstanding field for the race, which was arguably the highlight of the entire collegiate indoor season. Watson did his part, scorching past the field in the final straight away to win in 3:58.83, easily a school-record time and briefly the fastest mile run in the world during the indoor season. Watson eventually moved on to garner AllAmerica honors in the indoor mile, indoor 3,000-meters and outdoor 5,000-meters as well as taking home BIG EAST Championships in the mile, 3,000-meter steeplechase and outdoor 5,000-meters. In the summer of 2006, Watson returned to his alma mater as a member of the Irish men’s distance/cross country coaching staff. With Piane at the helm, the Notre Dame men’s cross country team has enjoyed six of its most successful seasons in the program’s history during the 2000’s. In 2000, Piane helped the Irish recover from the loss of Shay due to injury and earn a ninth-place finish at the NCAA Championship meet. With Shay back on the team in `01, Notre Dame achieved its highest-ever national ranking (fourth), won the BIG EAST Championship (Piane and his staff earned the league’s Coaching Staff of the Year award) and ended up sixth at the national meet to give the Irish (at the time) their highest team finish since 1993. In 2004, Notre Dame threatened to eclipse its best-ever ranking, as Piane deftly guided his charges from an unranked start all the way to a BIG EAST title and a No. 5 national ranking before placing 11th at the NCAA Championship. For his efforts, Piane and his aides garnered a second BIG EAST Men’s Cross Country Coaching Staff of the Year plaque. That set the stage for 2005’s successful run that culminated in Notre Dame’s return to the NCAA awards podium for the first time since 1990. In 1985, Piane was named a member of the United States National Track staff. As such, he was one of 40 collegiate coaches given the opportunity to coach a United States squad in international competition. During the summer of 1987 he did just that, guiding a team of American all-stars in meets held in England and Ireland. Upon the conclusion of the 1991 Notre Dame track season, Piane once again faced international competition as he was appointed coach of the U.S. Pan American juniors team for the games in Kingston, Jamaica. Piane became Midwest regional chairman for United States Olympic Development in the area of track and field in 1984. Piane’s other Olympic preparation experience came in `85 when he coached the North team in the National Sports Festival. He also coached the U.S. team against England in Birmingham, England. Piane is the creator of Notre Dame’s National Catholic Championship, an annual meet held on campus since 1980. The Irish running program continues to be a rapidly growing entity thanks to Piane’s achievements. Continually searching for greater challenges, he also founded the Meyo Invitational and the

Alex Wilson Invitational, both traditional indoor Notre Dame track and field meets that invite in elite track and field athletes and teams from around the country. A 1969 graduate of Loras College, Piane ran both track and cross country for four years at the Dubuque, Iowa, institution. He captained Loras’ undefeated cross country squad as a senior, while excelling in middle distance events during the track season. He was inducted into the Loras College Athletics Hall of Fame in the fall of 2002. Piane began his impressive coaching career in 1970. Working for the Peace Corps, he coached track and field and cross country at both the regional and national levels in the North African country of Morocco. Piane guided a top-ranked junior cross country team, sending three runners to Cambridge, England, for the International Cross Country Championship (now known as the IAAF World Championship) in 1972, where Morocco finished third. Several of those Moroccan runners went on to compete at the 1972 Summer Games in Munich, Germany, and one advanced to the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal, Canada. After returning to the United States in July 1972, Piane assisted the track and cross country programs at Western Illinois. During that time he earned a master’s degree in physical education. Born in Westchester, Ill., Piane joined the Notre Dame staff in 1974 as an assistant track coach and physical education instructor with plans to stay on for just one year. He was named head track and cross country coach the following season. Piane and his wife, Mimi, reside in South Bend, with their son, Nick.

tim connelly Tim Connelly Women’s Head Cross Country Coach Assistant Track & Field Coach (Women’s Distance) 26th Season Notre Dame ’83 As the Notre Dame women’s cross country team continues to establish itself as one of the best in the nation, the man standing at the forefront of that emergence has been Tim Connelly. Now in his 26th season at Notre Dame in 201314, Connelly not only serves as the head coach of the Irish women’s cross country team, but also tutors the women middle distance and distance runners during the indoor and outdoor track seasons. As one of the longest tenured active assistants at the University, he is closely involved with all aspects of the Notre Dame track and field/cross country program and is known as one of the best coaches in the Midwest. Since taking over the Irish women’s cross country program during its infancy in 1988, Connelly has helped Notre Dame reach unprecedented heights, finishing among the top 10 at the NCAA Championship every season from 2002-05. Notre Dame also has garnered a trip to the NCAA awards podium twice, finishing in a program-best third place in 2002, followed by a fourth-place showing in 2004. However, that hardly begins to scratch the surface of Connelly’s accomplishments during his twodecade plus run at Notre Dame. The Irish women also have won three BIG EAST Conference titles and placed either first or second at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional from 2001-05, and again in 2009. What’s more, Notre Dame runners have collected 15 AllAmerica honors since 1993 and finished with 28 allBIG EAST cross country citations during the program’s run in the league from 1995-2012. On the track, the Notre Dame women’s distance program has grown exponentially in recent years. Irish runners have earned 28 All-America certificates since 1994. In addition, Notre Dame women’s distance runners have garnered all-conference status 111 times and won 14 BIG EAST individual titles (as well as the 2003 distance medley relay crown) since 1995-96. The Irish runners also have played a critical role in three team titles at the BIG EAST Indoor Championship (2002, 2006, 2013) and two BIG EAST Outdoor Championship (2007, 2013), as well as nine runnerup finishes at conference meets (four indoor, five outdoor). For his efforts, Connelly has been richly rewarded with numerous coaching honors. He was given the BIG EAST Women’s Cross Country Coaching Staff of the Year award three times (2002, 2003, 2005) and was

24

Fighting Irish part of the BIG EAST Women’s Indoor Track & Field Coaching Staff of the Year three times (2002, 2006, 2013) and the BIG EAST Women’s Outdoor Track & Field Coaching Staff of the Year twice (2007, 2013). He also was named Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year in 2002, 2003 and 2009 after the Irish won the region crown. Connelly’s distance runners helped the Irish women’s program to a fourth-place finish at the 2009 BIG EAST Outdoor Championships, while the women’s cross country squad finished sixth at the BIG EAST Championship with Lindsey Ferguson garnering allconference honors. The Irish also returned to the NCAA Championship for the first time since 2005. In 2012, the women’s track and field team finished fourth and second, respectively, at the BIG EAST indoor and outdoor meets, a marked improvement from a year earlier. Just one year later, the women’s program won both crowns in their final year in the league. Under Connelly’s tutelage, Notre Dame’s distance program was able to excel in 2007, playing a large role in helping the Irish win their first BIG EAST outdoor championship since joining the league in 199596. Connelly produced six top-eight finishers to bring in points for the Irish. The women’s cross country team’s season ended with a third-place finish at the BIG EAST Cross Country Championships and a fifthplace finish at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional meet, just shy of a bid to the national meet. The conference finish was the fifth consecutive top-three BIG EAST finish by the Irish women. In 2007, Molly Huddle led the women’s distance with a runner-up performance in the 5,000-meters at the BIG EAST indoor championships and a double crown at the BIG EAST outdoor championships in the 5,000 meters and the 10,000 meters, only the third multiple winner of the honor since its inception in 1993, and the first back-to-back recipient since former Irish All-American Liz Grow took the hardware in 2001 and 2002. Her outdoor performance earned her BIG EAST Outstanding Outdoor Track Performer honors. At the NCAA Mideast Regional meet, she went on to win her fourth consecutive 5,000-meter title, to pave her way to the national meet where she became a 10-time All-American after taking third in the 5,000 meters. Connelly’s charges were at the forefront of a historic run in 2005-06, as Notre Dame came within 10 points at the conference’s outdoor meet of becoming the first school in 18 seasons to win the BIG EAST women’s “triple crown” (cross country, indoor track, outdoor track). It all started with an impressive 25-point win at the BIG EAST Cross Country Championship, with the 34-point Irish performance being the best scoring outing by any league school since 1994. Notre Dame had four of the top eight runners in the field, giving the Irish their largest-ever crop of all-conference honorees. That outing preceded a runner-up showing at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional, where Notre Dame once again was dominant up front with four of the top 10 runners in the meet. The Irish then capped the 2005 season with a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Championship, highlighted by a program-best three All-America performances (Stephanie Madia, Huddle

| UNIVERSITY of NOTRE DAME®

and Sunni Olding). In fact, Madia’s third-place finish and time of 19:48.4 were the best-ever by a Notre Dame woman, while Huddle joined Lauren King as the second three-time women’s cross country AllAmerican in school history. Moving indoors on the track for the 2005-06 season, Jacqueline Carter and Brianne Schmidt made excellent strides in the middle distances, notching school records in the 800- and 1,000-meter runs, respectively. Madia was strong at the longer distances, peaking well late in the year with two of the top-four 5,000-meter times in school history before earning her second All-America honor with a fourthplace finish at the NCAA Championship. Huddle then took center stage during the 2006 outdoor season, posting the nation’s fastest times at both 5,000- and 10,000-meters, and becoming only the second woman in BIG EAST history to win both races at the conference meet. She went on to be named the BIG EAST Outstanding Outdoor Track Performer, as well as the USTFCCCA Great Lakes District Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year and won her third NCAA Mideast Regional 5,000-meter title in as many tries. Huddle’s season ended just short of the brass ring, as she finished second in the 5,000 meters at the NCAA Championships, still the best placement ever by an Irish women’s track athlete in any event. She also garnered her ninth All-America citation. In 2004, Huddle had one of the most prolific seasons in Irish track and field history. She was an All-American in the indoor 3,000- and 5,000-meter runs as well as the outdoor 5,000 meters. Connelly accompanied Huddle as she competed in the United States Olympic Trials, eventually finishing seventh in the 5,000 meters as the top non-professional/ collegian in the race. A year earlier, Connelly guided Huddle to All- America honors in the indoor 3,000 meters and outdoor 5,000 meters. Huddle capped that season by running away with the U.S. Junior 3,000-meter title at the national meet in Palo Alto, Calif. Huddle qualified for the 2012 London Olympics in the 5,000m after finishing second at the U.S. Olympic Trials. She is the current American record holder at 5,000 meters, and competed at both the 2011 and 2013 IAAF World Championships at 5,000 meters for the United States. A 1983 Notre Dame graduate, Connelly ran both cross country and track for the Irish.

Atlantic coast conference The Tradition Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now, in its 61st year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it. Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 131 NCAA championships, including 69 in women’s competition and 62 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC student-athletes 150 times in men’s competition and 106 times in women’s action. Given the ACC’s strong history and the strengthening of its ranks with the additions of Notre Dame, Pitt and Syracuse in 2013, followed by Louisville in 2014, those numbers – and the league’s longstanding tradition of excellence – appear destined to only grow greater in the years ahead.

2012-13 in Review The 2012-13 academic year saw ACC teams capture four more national team titles and seven individual NCAA crowns. In all, the ACC has won 62 national team titles over the last 16 years and has won two or more NCAA titles in 30 of the past 32 years. A total of 119 ACC teams placed in NCAA post-season competition in 2012-13. League teams compiled a 120-74-2 (.617) mark against non-league opponents in NCAA championship dual competition. The ACC’s new membership further bolsters the league’s already-strong academic standing among NCAA Division I conferences. The ACC’s member institutions, effective July 1, 2013, rank first among BCS automatic qualifying conferences in the latest US News & World Report’s “Best Colleges” list. ACC schools averaged a ranking of 55.73 and were the only conference with eight schools ranked among the top 50 (five public, three private). The ACC is also the only conference with 11 schools ranked among the top 70.

The Championships The conference will conduct championship competition in 25 sports during the 2013-14 academic year - 12 for men and 13 for women. The first ACC championship was held in swimming on February 25, 1954. The conference did not conduct championships in cross country, wrestling or tennis during the first year. The 12 sports for men include football, cross country, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. Fencing, which was started in 1971, was discontinued in 1981. Women’s sports were initiated in 1977 with the first championship meet held in tennis at Wake Forest University. Championships for women are currently conducted in cross country, field hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, golf, lacrosse, softball and rowing with volleyball deciding its champion by regular season play.

A History The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest - drawing up the conference by-laws. The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern Conference came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference’s annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C., where a set of bylaws was adopted and the name became officially the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference appeared in the region’s newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh. Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid-South, Mid-Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline. Duke’s Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference expenses. On December 4, 1953, conference officials met again at Sedgefield and officially admitted the University of Virginia as the league’s eighth member. The first withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971, when the University of South Carolina tendered its resignation. The ACC operated with seven members until April 3, 1978, when the Georgia Institute of Technology was admitted. The Atlanta school had withdrawn from the Southeastern Conference in January of 1964. The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State University. The conference expanded to 11 members on July 1, 2004, with the addition of the University of Miami and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. On October 17, 2003, Boston College accepted an invitation to become the league’s 12th member starting July 1, 2005. The ACC added its 13th and 14th members on Sept. 18, 2011, when Pittsburgh and Syracuse accepted invitations to join the conference. The two schools officially join the ACC on July 1, 2013. Notre Dame also officially joined the ACC on July 1, 2013, after announcing on Sept. 12, 2012 its intention to enter the league for competition in all sports but football, bringing the membership of the conference to 15. The Fighting Irish will play five football games with ACC schools each year. On July 1, 2014, Louisville will enter the ACC from the Big East Conference. The ACC will remain a 15-member conference, as Maryland plans to join the Big Ten.
