Head Coach

Doug Watts 42nd Year Akron ‘64

E

xcellence in coaching and a winning tradition are terms that have become syn­ onymous with Edinboro University cross country and track and field coach Doug Watts. Since his arrival at Edinboro in 1969, the Running Scots have experienced nothing but success, producing numerous All­Americans and team championships, as well as four individual cross country champions and five individual track first place finishers. Watts' coaching credentials speak for themselves, including 37 consecutive undefeat­ ed cross country seasons and a string of over 130 straight dual meet victories. Watts' squads have also produced a total of six national cham­ pionships, including back­to­back­to­back NCAA Division II titles from 1986 through 1988 and back­to­back NAIA titles in 1975 and 1976. His teams can also boast six Division II runner­up trophies, plus finishes of third (twice), fourth (three times), fifth, sixth (twice), seventh (three times), eighth (three times) and ninth. In total, the men's squads have 17 top ten finishes at the national meet in the last 26 years. His women's program, though yet to crown a national champion, has also estab­ lished itself as one of the premier programs in the NCAA East Region and on the national stage. That includes nine PSAC championships in the last ten years and three East Regional titles in the last five years. Four years ago the Fighting Scot women’s harriers placed second at Nationals. As a result, an "uncountable" amount of conference, district, and regional "Coach of the Year" awards are scattered throughout his office. He was inducted into the Edinboro Hall of Fame in 2004, and in 2009 was inducted into the Northwest Pennsylvania Sports Hall of

Edinboro Track and Field 2011

Fame. In December 2009, Watts was present­ ed the Jimmy Carnes Distinguished Service Award, presented by the USTFCCCA. Finally, Watts was was inducted into the USTFCCCA Hall of Fame this past December. In 2007 he was recognized as the PSAC Men’s Cross Country Coach of the Year. The National Coach of the Year five times, Watts has published numerous distance­run­ ning articles for national publications. Twice an Olympic coach nominee, Watts annually con­ ducts a summer pre­season endurance training camp, the Edinboro Distance Village, for young men and women. In addition, 16 of his Edinboro athletes have been U.S. Olympic Trial qualifiers. Most recently, Watts has ventured into the administrative portion of his sport, as the past President of the NCAA Division II Track and Field Coaches Association and former Vice President of the USTCA National Coaches Association. In addition, he was the head of the NCAA Division II Cross Country Hall of Fame Committee and presently is on the Board of Directors for the USTFCCCA (U.S. Track & Field Cross Country Coaches Association). A 1964 graduate of the University of Akron with a degree in Health and Physical Education, Watts began his coaching career at Walsh Jesuit High School in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. He intro­ duced a running program at Walsh Jesuit that yielded a two­year record of 19­0 and a district championship. Watts and his wife Margaret reside in Edinboro and have two adult children, Wendy and Christopher.

Watts Inducted into Hall of Fame Edinboro cross country and track & field coach Doug Watts has received plenty of recog­ nition during his 42 years as the head coach of the Fighting Scots. Here are some of the recent instances. This past December, Watts was inducted into the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame during a cere­ mony in San Antonio, TX. Below left, Watts received the Jimmy Carnes Distinguished Service Award. The award was presented last December at the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Convention in December 2009.

Named in honor of Jimmy Carnes, the Association’s first Executive Director, who for a lifetime has served the sports of Track & Field and Cross Country. It is presented by the UST­ FCCCA to individuals who go beyond the call of duty in their service to the Association and to the advancement of the sports of Track & Field and Cross Country. Above right, Watts gives a long and mem­ orable speech at a a banquet in his honor host­ ed by Edinboro University last November 2009. The banquet was in recognition of his over 40 years of service to Edinboro. In his honor, the University named the cross country course the

National Champions Dave Antognoli -- 1972 National Champion (10,000m) Dave Antognoli was head coach Doug Watts' first recruit back in 1969. Antognoli is, according to Watts, the reason Edinboro became creditable on the nation­ al level, and helped lay the foundation for the success­ ful program that exists today. The recruiting classes of 1972­73 followed in the footsteps of Antognoli and led to Edinboro's six national team titles. Antognoli won a multitude of individual titles, including three national titles, and many All­American certificates in cross country and track. He was award­ ed the Sox Harrison Award as the top male senior ath­ lete in 1973 after winning the cross country champi­ onship in 1971, the NAIA 10,000 meters title in 1972, and the USTFF national championship in the six mile event. He also was the top collegiate finisher in the 1972 Olympic Trials.

Uriel Rivera -- 1990 National Champion (5,000 and 10,000m) A native of Meddsun, Colombia, Uriel Rivera became the Fighting Scots’ second track and field national champion and first in 18 years when he won the 5,000­meter and 10,000­meter events in 1990. Rivera was an All­American in both events that year and he set the school record in the 10,000­meter run with a time of 29:10.12, which still stands today. That same year, Rivera won the PSAC titles in the 10,000­meter and mile run while helping lead the Fighting Scots to a runner­up finish at the PSAC Championships. He repeated as the PSAC champion in the 10,000­meter run in 1991. Rivera was also a two­time cross country All­ American in 1990 and 1991. In addition, he was a mem­ ber of the Fighting Scots’ 1990 national championship team.

National Champions Chris Rauber -- 1991 National Champion (5,000m-Indoors) A year after Uriel Rivera earned a national champi­ onship in the 5,000­meter and 10,000­meter events, Chris Rauber became the Fighting Scots’ second straight and third national champion overall when he captured the 5,000­meter indoor title. Rauber was an All­ American in the 5,000­meter event in 1990 and 1991. He was also a four­time PSAC outdoor champion. Rauber captured the 10,000­meter title in 1988 and defended that title as well as won the mile­run in 1989. He was a member of Edinboro’s PSAC Championship teams in 1988 and 1989. In 1991, Rauber won his fourth PSAC title in the 5,000­meter run. Rauber was a three­time All­American in cross coun­ try from 1988­1990 and he helped lead the Fighting Scots’ to their 1990 national championship

Carl Leonard -- 1996 National Champion (5,000m) Carl Leonard, a native of Swansea, Wales, earned the Fighting Scots’ most recent national championship with his victory in the 5,000­meter run in 1996. He was also the national runner­up in the 10,000­meter run that same year. An All­American in 1995 in the 5,000­meter and 10,000­meter runs, Leonard was also an All­ American in the 5,000­meter in 1994 and 1996. His time of 3:45.64 in the 1,500­meter run in 1995 remains a school record. A seven­time PSAC champion, Leonard won the 1,500­ meter, 5,000­meter and 10,000­meter events and was named the Most Valuable Track Athlete at the 1996 PSAC Championships. He also helped lead the Fighting Scots to PSAC runner­up finishes in 1995 and 1996. In cross country, Leonard was a three­time All­American from 1992­1994.

This is Edinboro University

E

dinboro University is the region’s largest and most comprehensive institution of higher edu­ cation. Under the leadership of President Jeremy D. Brown, who assumed the helm on July 1, 2007, Edinboro adopted the motto, “Great Things Happen Here!” Yet the words represent much more than a tagline or catchy phrase. They reflect upon a changing and growing University that strives for excellence regionally, nationally and globally. Founded more than 150 years ago by the descendants of Scottish immigrants, Edinboro’s beau­ tiful 585­acre campus is now home to more than 8,700 students enrolled in over 100 undergraduate and grad­ uate programs of study. Rich in its Scottish tradition, the University’s majors in art, animation, criminal jus­ tice, education, and speech language pathology have earned regional recognition and national accolades. Situated almost equal distance (about 100 miles) from the cultural, entertainment and major league sports metropolitan areas of Cleveland, Buffalo and Pittsburgh, Edinboro is less than 20 miles south of Erie, Pennsylvania’s fourth largest city, and 20 miles north of Meadville, the Crawford County seat. Edinboro’s Baron­Forness Library has more than 500,000 bound volumes and 1.4 million micro­ form units, along with an online catalog access to numerous databases and electronic reserves and archives. The library, the region’s largest, is equipped with a wireless network, commuter labs and is accessible to users with visual impairments. Edinboro’s physical plant and resources are beginning to rival the faculty excellence that stu­ dents have long found in the classrooms. The University is drawing more people to campus because of its state of the art facilities. An investment of $200 million is allowing the

Edinboro Track and Field 2011

University to enhance the Edinboro experience for stu­ dents through projects such as the new suite­style student hous­ ing complex known as The Highlands at Edinboro University. The $5 million Zafirovski Sports & Recreation Arena opened in late 2009, meaning athletic teams can hold full practice sessions during inclement weather inside the region’s largest free­standing, air­supported facility. The new $5 million Human Services Building will be ready for classes in January 2011 and the $23 million expansion and renovation of the Cooper Hall science building is underway. In addition to the five­acre Mallory Lake and ample pastoral and wooded areas, there are more than 40 other buildings on the spacious Edinboro campus, including residence halls with private or shared rooms, co­ed housing, honors housing and living­learning floors for academic and special inter­ est student groups. Van Houten Dining Hall offers a variety of student meal plans, and Skipjack’s fast food emporium is perfect for an energy­booster at any time. Edinboro’s School of Graduate Studies and Research, with it’s technology­based computer­ assisted distance learning, now offers the region’s fastest growing academic programs. Edinboro University in Erie – The Porreco Center, is a beautiful 27­acre campus that includes classrooms, computer laboratory and a unique facili­ ty for hosting small conferences, business meetings and special events. Edinboro University in Meadville is located in the city’s historic Bessemer Building. All Edinboro University facilities are connected by free EMTA bus service. In fact, in this new era of high fuel costs, students, faculty and staff can ride free anywhere EMTA bus service is offered! So you can see that Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, home of the Fighting Scots NCAA ath­ letic teams and first­class athletic venues, offers the complete collegiate experience for undergraduate and graduate students. What’s more, Edinboro’s faculty and staff of 800 individuals working as a single team to support our students’ higher education aspirations, under­ score our new motto. It’s true! Great things do hap­ pen here!
