"Mitch having wrestled at Paso Robles High School will also present us with the opportunity to strengthen our ties to the local wrestling community, something that is very important to us," Buckley added. Monteiro attended Cal Poly from 2005-06 and was a member of the Mustang wrestling team, but had his season cut short due to an injury.

"We feel strongly that we accomplished this in hiring Scotti Sentes," Buckley added. "He is a great technician and will be a terrific asset for returning NCAA qualifier Devon Lotito as well as all of our wrestlers in the lower weights." Sentes twice won Mid-American Conference titles (2009 and 2011) and placed third in 2010 and 2013.

2013–14 Season Outlook
New-Look Mustangs Seek to Turn Fortunes Around As a freshman a year ago, Devon Lotito captured Pac-12 title at 133 pounds and finished the year with a 29-9 overall record. He was Cal Poly’s lone national qualifier last season and led the Mustangs in victories, takedowns, reversals and riding time points.
C
al Poly wrestling will sport a completely new look for the 2013-14 season. The roster will include 13 newcomers and eight wrestlers who were redshirts a
year ago. The Mustangs will conduct a Pac-12 dual meet outdoors in late January. And the coaching staff features one change as well, with two-time NCAA Division I All-American and fourtime national qualifier Scotti Sentes of Central Michigan joining head coach Brendan Buckley, assistant Mitch Monteiro and volunteer coach Kyle Gilchrist. Returning Pac-12 champions Devon Lotito and Dominic Kastl (pictured at right) headline the list of Cal Poly's 11 returnees, a group seeking to quickly wipe out memories of last year's 2-11 dual meet record. "Everybody on our team has a chip on his shoulders and has something to prove," said Buckley, entering his third year as head coach. "We had to persevere through a lot of things last year and that has made us stronger as a group. "Our goal remains to be the top team in the Pac-12 and qualify numerous guys for the NCAA Championship competing to be All-Americans," Buckley added. "We are very young and our young guys still have a lot to learn, but we see a great attitude from all of them and they all want it. "They are buying into the lifestyle and 2013-14 want to be the best in everything they do," Returning Starters Buckley said.

"Longmire had a good second half of the season and started coming into his own late in the season," said Buckley. In the spring, Longmire placed seventh for All-American honors at the 2013 ASICS University National Freestyle Championships, hosted by the University of Akron. Freshman Colton Schilling, a three-time Oregon State 4A champion from Sweet Home, Oregon, will contend at 125 and 133. "Colton is a competitor who trains really hard, is very intense, is big for the weight and is very good on the mat," said Buckley. 133 Lotito captured top honors at 133 pounds in the Pac-12 finals a year ago as a true freshman, finishing a 29-9 campaign with an appearance in the NCAA Championship. Lotito was 7-2 in duals and earned three falls for the season.

2013–14 Season Outlook
New-Look Mustangs Seek to Turn Fortunes Around strong and is on a mission to get on the AllAmerican podium." 184 Senior Sean Dougherty returns from a junior campaign which resulted in a 24-15 overall record, a 7-6 mark in duals, eight falls and a fourth-place finish in the Pac-12 finals. "Dougherty has made huge gains in the two years since he transferred to Cal Poly," said Buckley. "He has become much stronger, worked on his technique and we expect him to be competing in Oklahoma City this March."
Sean Dougherty posted a 24-15 mark last year and led the Mustangs with eight falls. "Lotito trained here all summer and will be even better in his sophomore season," said Buckley. "His goal and our expectation is to be on the All-American podium this year." Freshman Victor Trujillo, a two-time California state meet place winner from Bella Vista High School in Fair Oaks, likely will redshirt this year. "Trujillo is really good, has impressed the coaching staff in the fall and is good on the mat," Buckley said. Trujillo was a Greco Roman All-American at Fargo during the offseason. 141 This weight class is a tossup between redshirt freshmen Jacob Leon and Colt Shorts. Leon posted a 7-6 record in open tournaments a year ago while Shorts was 7-8. "Leon has made a lot of gains, had a good redshirt season and beat the Division II national champion at the Roadrunner Open," said Buckley. "Shorts has put on a ton of weight. He was recruited at 125 last year, has grown taller, become thicker, had a great summer, has been in the weight room a lot and should now have good size as a 141 pounder. It's going to be a good wrestle-off between them." 149 Blake Kastl, who posted a 14-5 record in open tournaments, and Kyle Chené, who competed at 157 pounds a year ago, will challenge for the starting nod at 149. Kastl won the San Francisco State Open and placed third in the Roadrunner Open and fourth in the California Collegiate Open. Chené was 1817 as a junior. "Kastl had a terrific redshirt year," said Buckley. "He's gotten stronger, he's more technically sound and he had a great summer. Chené has been really productive this fall and we're looking for him to make an impact in his senior year one weight class down from last year." The weight class also includes Brandan Rocha, who was 12-14 with four pins a year ago. "Brandan returns for his senior year and has been a starter each of the the last three years," said
Buckley. "He is incredibly strong and is always dangerous when he is on." 157 Redshirt freshman Maxamillian Schneider and sophomore Luke McDonald are the top two contenders at 157. Neither wrestler competed in a match a year ago. "We're looking for big things from Max," said Buckley. "He has a unique style, is very athletic and we're expecting big things from him. McDonald had a great summer and fall. The last two years, he has been injured, but he is coming into his own." Xavier Johnson is also in the mix and had made big improvements in the last year. He has a strong Greco-Roman background and is very strong for the weight class.
197 Justin Walker, a two-time California state finals placewinner, did not wrestle during his redshirt season at Cal Poly after undergoing knee surgery. "Walker has made a full recovery, has added a lot of size to his frame and is hungry to make an impact this year," said Buckley. Walker will be challenged by true freshman Nicolas Johnson, a fourth-place finisher in the California state finals last March. "Johnson has made huge gains and is getting better every day. We expect him to be a completely different wrestler come the second half of the season," said Buckley. 285 The heavyweight class features two more true freshmen as Spencer Empey and Tyler Hecht will battle for the starting nod. Empey was a three-
165 A pair of true freshmen -- Sohrab Movahedi and Travis Berridge -- are challenging each other in a tight race at 165 pounds. Movahedi placed third in the California state finals last March while Berridge was a four-time state qualifier and three-time state placer in Florida. The weight class also includes junior Paul Woodman and sophomore Stefan Weidemann. "Woodman started for us last season and has improved greatly," said Buckley. "Paul is a great hard-working kid who is looking to make a jump this season. Weidemann makes the jump up from 157 last season. He battled injuries last year but had a productive summer and is healthy this season."
Dominic Kastl, the Pac-12 champion at 165 pounds two years ago, will wrestle at 174 pounds as a junior this season.
174 Dominic Kastl, the Pac-12 champion at 165 pounds in 2012, spent the entire 2012-13 season rehabilitating a lower back injury. Kastl was 14-5 overall as a sophomore, including a 6-0 mark in duals. "Kastl spent a lot of time last spring and this summer preparing himself for his return to the mat this fall," said Buckley. "He is healthy and
time Nevada state champion and twice earned Nevada High School Wrestler of the Year honors while Hecht placed fourth in the California state finals a year ago. "Empey had a No. 3 national ranking in high school and can become one of the nation's best heavyweights. We expect him to make a big impact this year," said Buckley. "Hecht is a really big kid that moves very well for his size."

Mustang Runners–up at NCAA Championships Chad Mendes, 2008 Chad Mendes completed one of the most storied seasons by a Cal Poly wrestler in the program’s history in 2008, tallying a 30-0 record before dropping a 5-2 decision to Ohio State’s J Jaggers in the NCAA Championship bout at 141 pounds. Mendes will be remembered as one of the all-time greats to walk the halls of Mott Gym. The Hanford, Calif. native recorded seven falls, eight major decisions and one technical fall in 2008. He pinned Paul Moseman of Cal State Bakersfield in just 13 seconds on Nov. 18 at the Fullerton Open and wooed a large crowd at Cal Poly by pinning the then-No. 2 ranked 141-pounder in the nation, Minnesota’s Manuel Rivera, in 1 minute, 34 seconds. At the NCAA Championships, Mendes won his first match by fall in just 34 seconds. Among his many accomplishments, Mendes won a Pac-12 title in 2008 and was also named the conference’s Wrestler of the Year. He also won tournament titles at the Michigan State Open and Fullerton Open and became the eighth wrestler in program history to navigate an undefeated dual slate. Mendes finished his career with an impressive 64-
14 record. He was an All-American at 125 pounds with a sixth-place finish in 2006 before bulking up to 141 for his senior year in the 2007-08 season. On Jan. 15, 2008, Mendes became the first Cal Poly wrestler to earn a No. 1 ranking by pollsters since Scott Heaton and Rick Worel did so together in 1980. After graduating from Cal Poly in the spring of 2008, Mendes embarked upon a professional fighting career with the Palace Fighting Championship circuit. After winning all five fights, he signed with the WEC (World Extreme Cagefighting) in October 2009, posting a 4-0 mark before the WEC merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2010. Mendes is 6-1 in the UFC, 15-1 overall, and will face Nik Lentz in December at UFC on Fox. His only loss was to UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo in January 2012 in Rio de Janeiro. His favorite technique is the wushu finger hold. “It’s a great opportunity and a great honor to be competing in the UFC,” said Mendes. “This is where I’ve always wanted to fight and it’s awesome to be a part of such a huge organization.”
Chase Pami, 2010 Cal Poly’s Chase Pami became the sixth NCAA Division I runner-up in Mustang wrestling history in March 2010. Trying to become the third Division I national champion, Pami led 2-1 early in the first period, but eventually fell 6-4 to top-seeded and four-time NCAA All-American J.P. O'Connor of Harvard in the 157-pound final at the Qwest Center Omaha. Pami closed out his Cal Poly career with a 29-7 record as a senior and a 100-35 career mark. Pami, the lowest seeded wrestler in the championship finals, tried to become the first Cal Poly wrestler in 34 years to capture a Division I national title. Tom Kline won in 1969 and Mark DiGirolamo accomplished the feat in 1976. Pami earned his 100th career win in the semifinals with a 13-5 major decision against Justin Lister of Binghamton. Pami placed seventh in the 2009 NCAA meet. Pami also joins Kline (1968), John Woods (1969), Cliff Hatch (1975), Montano (1983) and Chad Mendes (2008) as the only Mustangs to earn sec-
ond-place finishes at the Division I nationals. Pami captured back-to-back Pac-12 Conference titles at 157 pounds in 2008 and 2009. Only other Mustangs to claim consecutive Pac-10 championships are Eric Osborne (1987-88), Jake Gaeir (1993-94) and Boris Novachkov (2010-11). Pami was an NCAA qualifier all four seasons at Cal Poly. He finished 27-9 as a junior, 24-6 as a sophomore and 20-13 as a freshman. He was a two-time Nevada state champion and four-time high school All-American while wrestling at Cimarron Memorial High School in Las Vegas. He was 185-14 in his prep career. In December 2011, Pami qualified for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, which were held in April 2012 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa. Pami placed fourth at the Trials. Currently in training at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., Pami captured the 66kg freestyle championship at the 2012 New York Athletic Club International held in November 2012.
Boris Novachkov, 2011 In 2011, for the third time in four years, a Cal Poly wrestler captured second place in the NCAA Division I National Championships. At Philadelphia, junior Boris Novachkov, seeded third, won four matches to reach the 141-pound final, but for the second time in the 2010-11 season, he dropped a 3-2 decision to Kellen Russell of Michigan. Those were Novachkov’s only losses against 31 victories that season. Novachkov, who placed seventh at 133 pounds and earned NCAA All-American honors a year earlier, earned a 6-1 decision over Buffalo sophomore Andrew Schutt, followed by a 4-2 decision over Matthew Bonson of Lock Haven on the first day of competition at the nationals. The next day, he shut out No. 6 Andrew Alton of Penn State 2-0 in the quarterfinals and earned a 9-3 victory over second-seeded Michael Thorn of Minnesota in the semifinals. In 2012, Novachkov became the first four-time Division I national qualifier at Cal Poly and first
three-time All-American, placing third at 141 pounds in St. Louis. The two-time Pac-12 champion finished his Mustang career with a 121-23 record. A graduate of Fremont High School in Sunnyvale, Novachkov went 4-2 in the 2010 nationals, with both losses decided in overtime. Prior to the 2011 nationals, he won the Fullerton Open as well as the Midlands and placed second at the Las Vegas Invitational. Four of his wins in the 2010-11 season were by fall and Novachkov also won four matches by technical fall and five by major decision. He posted a spotless 11-0 record in dual meets with two pins and a pair of technical falls and was 10-2 against nationally ranked wrestlers. Novachkov was 13-0 in duals and 34-4 overall as a senior with four falls. He placed first in the Cowboy Open and Reno Tournament of Champions. He currently trains with the Titan Mercury Wrestling Club, coached by Kenny Monday.

Mustangs Return to National Polls After an absence of a few years, the Cal Poly wrestling team returned to the national rankings for three straight seasons. The Mustangs were ranked anywhere from No. 15 to 25 most of the 2009-10 season and finished tied for 18th in the NCAA National Championships. Cal Poly also was ranked every week in the 2010-11 campaign and finished 32nd at the NCAAs. The Mustangs opened the 2011-12 season with a No. 23 national ranking and were ranked in the lower teens and upper 20s all season long. In his first season as head coach at Cal Poly, Brendan Buckley guided the Mustangs to a No. 15 ranking in WIN Magazine's Tournament Power Index, a measure of how a team will do in tournament competition.
Individually, two-time NCAA All-American Boris Novachkov, 174-pound senior Ryan Ryan DesRoches and 197-pound senior Ryan Smith received the highest preseason rankings. Novachkov, second in the NCAA Championships in 2011 and seventh in 2010, was ranked as high as No. 2 by the various publications in the preseason while DesRoches, a two-time NCAA qualifier, was ranked No. 15 and Smith No. 13. Novachkov went on to earn his third AllAmerican certificate with a third-place finish at the nationals while DesRoches placed eighth. Both were consistently ranked in the top 20 in the nation. Last year, defending Pac-12 champion Dominic Kastl and freshman Devon Lotito were ranked in early season polls.

2012–13 Season in Review
Youthful Mustangs Struggle Through Season For most programs with new head coaches, the first year tends to be a rebuilding campaign. For Cal Poly’s Brendan Buckley, it was the second season. The Cal Poly wrestling team went through some growing pains during the 2012-13 campaign as the roster included 17 newcomers. The season also was slowed by injuries, most notably to the team’s only returning national qualifier as Dominic Kastl, the Pac-12 champion at 165 pounds in 2011-12, was forced to sit out the following year with a lower back injury. One year after Cal Poly produced a pair of NCAA All-Americans in the same season for the second time in three years and Boris Novachkov became Cal Poly's first three-time NCAA Division I All-American in Buckley’s first year as head coach in San Luis Obispo, only one Mustang qualified for the nationals and Cal Poly won just two of 13 dual meets, both victories against Division II competition. The youngsters gained plenty of experience, however, laying the foundation for a more successful 2013-14 campaign. One of those youngsters, true freshman Devon Lotito, captured the Pac12 title at 133 pounds and qualified for the nationals. Lotito, from Bethlehem, Penn., capped his first season in San Luis Obispo with a 5-2 decision over Brian Owen of Boise State for the conference crown. Lotito earned three falls and five major decisions en route to a 29-9 campaign. Lotito also placed first in the Keystone Classic at Philadelphia as well as the California Collegiate Open hosted by San Francisco State and finished third in the prestigious Las Vegas Invitational. In dual meets, Lotito was 7-2 and led the team with 17 takedowns and six riding time points. Cal Poly opened its second season under Buckley with a pair of dual meets in Bakersfield against Drexel and CSU Bakersfield. Sean Dougherty won by technical fall while Connor King and Lotito both won by decision in a 28-11 loss to Drexel while J.T. Goodwin won by fall, Dougherty earned a major decision and Atticus Disney won by decision in a 27-13 setback against the host Roadrunners. Two days later, at the Roadrunner Open held in Fresno’s Selland Arena, Mustang Brandan Rocha placed first at 141 pounds while Dougherty was

Longmire won by decision against both Boise State and Arizona State. The final dual of the season for the Mustangs was at home against Central Michigan and the Chippewas won 41-6. Cal Poly’s only points came via a forfeit at 197 pounds. At the Pac-12 Championship hosted by Arizona J.T. Goodwin, one of 17 newcomers on roster a year ago, earned seven wins.

win the Light Heavyweight Title. He defended his titles successfully five times, all ending with either a knockout or a TKO. He surrendered his belt after losing in a matchup with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, three years to the day of being crowned champion.
Recently, Liddell released a book that chronicles his life as a fighter. Iceman: My Fighting Life debuted on February 17, 2008, and spent multiple weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list.
Despite his busy schedule as a fighter and a world-renowned celebrity, Liddell still takes time to remember his roots as a Cal Poly Mustang. Liddell can often be seen matside at Cal Poly matches and is an avid fan of the team. He was inducted into the Cal Poly Athletics Hall of Fame on Sept. 11, 2009.
Liddell started training for his career at the age of 12 in Santa Barbara. He was a four-year starter on the football team at San Marcos High School, and became a Division I wrestler at Cal Poly in 1988. After spending five years on the wrestling squad, Liddell would complete his degree while pursuing a career as a professional fighter, graduating in 1995 with a B.A.in business. As a graduation gift to himself, he had his iconic tattoo inked on his scalp which reads “Koei-Kan” (“prosper with happiness.”) He would then transition to mixed martial artist when he earned a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under John Lewis, ultimately aiming for a career that would take his fame and fortune to a new level. Liddell made his UFC debut in 1998 with a decision victory over Noe Hernandez. He soon established his reputation as a devastating striker with victories over Tito Ortiz, Renato Sobral and Wanderlei Silva over the next few years. On May 26, 2004, he knocked out Randy Couture in two minutes to

Cal Poly competed in the NCAA Division I West Regional from 1974-85, the Pacific Coast Athletic Association in the 1985-86 season and the Pacific-12 Conference from 1986 to the present.
More than 19,000 students, nationally-renown courses of study and the top-ranked public master’s university in the western United States ... all 11 miles from the Pacific Ocean.
This is Cal Poly ocated in the central California coastal town of San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly comprises one of 23 campuses in the California State University, the nation’s largest fouryear undergraduate university system. Each CSU campus is given considerable freedom to develop its programs and each institution boasts its own qualities and strengths. Cal Poly’s Learn by Doing principle of instruction prepares undergraduates for careers in applied technical and professional fields. From computers to crops, Cal Poly holds that the best preparation for any endeavor is derived through practical application. This ideal has set Cal Poly apart from other schools and been the school’s driving philosophy since its 1901 founding. Courses at Cal Poly emphasize a high proportion of lab work, fieldwork and special assignments, culminating with a senior project. Unique on-campus opportunities – such as an organic farm and a student-run daily newspaper and majors of study ranging from aerospace engineering to wine and viticulture – make hands-on learning a daily reality at Cal Poly. In total, Cal Poly confers bachelor's degrees in 64 separate areas of study. Nine of those degrees are exclusive to the San Luis Obispo campus (see next page). For 20 consecutive years, U.S. News and World Report has ranked Cal Poly as the top public master’s university in the western United States. The publication also ranked Cal Poly’s College of Engineering as the No. 3 program in the nation among public non-doctoral institutions (see below). On-campus activities are headquartered at the renown University Union and Cal Poly’s student-run activities have earned enviable reputations across the nation. Week of Welcome offers first-quarter students a successful introduction to the collegiate experience through a team of trained student leaders and university officials, all of whom provide academic and social resources, encourage awareness and promote relationships with the campus and central coast community.
L
Athletically, Cal Poly boasts one of the most successful Division I programs for an institution of its size. During the 2012-13 academic year, the athletics department – which sponsors 21 varsity programs – saw the football, women’s basketball and baseball programs advance to the NCAA Championships. Individually, Laura Hollander (women’s cross country), Andre Dome (men’s tennis), Kennith Jackson (football), Nico Molino (football) and Deonte Williams (football) each earned All-America honors. At the NCAA Championships, Hollander finished ninth as a freshman in women’s cross country while Dome reached the Round of 16 in men’s tennis. Pitcher Chase Johnson was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the third round of the MLB Draft in June 2013. Named Big West athletes of the year were Dome (men’s tennis), Chris Frias (men’s cross country), Hollander (women’s cross country), John Prader (men’s track and field) and Molly Schlemer (women’s basketball). Freshman wrestler Devon Lotito earned a Pac-12 title at 133 pounds. Hollander earned Big West Freshman Player of the Year honors in both cross country and track while Elise Krieghoff earned similar honors in women’s soccer. Williams and Kennith Jackson were first-team All-Big Sky selections. As testament to Cal Poly’s athletics and academic integrity, 67 Mustangs collected conference all-academic praise during the 2012-13 school year. The Cal Poly Athletics Department also finished fourth in the Big West Commissioner’s Cup, an award presented to the institution with the best overall results in the conference’s 16 sponsored sports. Internationally, Cal Poly was represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics by former Mustangs Sharon Day (United States, high jump), Jimmy Van Ostrand (Canada, baseball) and Stephanie Brown Trafton, whose gold medal for the United States in the discus competition was the first such feat by a Mustang athlete. Day (heptathlon) and Brown Trafton (discus) also qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

BEST IN THE WEST
CAL POLY AN ACADEMIC DYNASTY 21 YEARS IN THE MAKING For the 21st straight year, Cal Poly was rated by U.S. News and World Report as the best public master’s university in the western United States in its 2013 America’s Best Colleges guidebook. Cal Poly placed sixth in the publication’s overall list of the west’s best universities – including both public and private institutions – that provide “a full range of undergraduate and master’s-level programs but few, if any, doctoral programs.” The publication ranks colleges that grant doctoral degrees, such as those in the University of California system, in a separate category. “Being named Best in the West for 21 straight years is a terrific acknowledgment of Cal Poly’s sustained excellence over a long period of time,” said Cal Poly President Jeffrey D. Armstrong. “The credit belongs to our faculty and staff for their unwavering dedication and commitment to our students’ success, and it underscores the power of our Learn by Doing philosophy.”
Within individual areas of study, U.S. News and World Report ranked Cal Poly’s College of Engineering No. 3 among public engineering programs for schools whose highest degree is a bachelor’s or master’s (Cal Poly was bested only by the United States Military Academy and Air Force Academy). A number of College of Engineering programs ranked high in the Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs in their individual specialty categories. The university’s computer, electrical and mechanical engineering programs were each ranked as the top program at a public university in their respective specialty categories. Cal Poly’s civil and environmental engineering program was ranked the secondbest program at a public university.

CAL POLY HISTORY
DISTINGUISHED AND NOTABLE ALUMNI
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, TRANSCENDENT FUTURE
FROM SAN LUIS OBISPO TO SPACE, THE NATION’S ELITE CALL CAL POLY HOME
In front of the Orfalea College of Business iis the O’Neill Green, which hosts, among other activities, a tailgate prior to football games at the adjacent and recently remodeled Alex G. Spanos Stadium. A 1948 graduate of the College of Agriculture, the late Richard J. O’Neill is the founder of Supporters of Mustang Athletics Teams (SUMAT) and was instrumental in helping to stabilize funding for Cal Poly.
n the 1890s, when a proposal for a teacher training school in San Luis Obispo seemed unlikely to succeed, California State Senator Sylvester C. Smith instead suggested a polytechnic institute. Myron Angel, chronicler of San Luis Obispo County history, became an ardent supporter of the idea and articulated a vision to establish a school that would “teach the hand as well as the head.” The plan succeeded and on March 8, 1901, legislation was signed founding the California Polytechnic School, then a vocational high school. During the ensuing three decades, Cal Poly evolved into the modern equivalent of a junior college, but its future became uncertain. In 1933, however, Julian A. McPhee, chief of the California Bureau of Agricultural Education, saved the institution from abolishment by agreeing to become school president. During the next 33 years, McPhee guided Cal Poly’s transformation into a four-year institution and set an educational standard still emulated today. Cal Poly’s first baccalaureate exercises were held in May 1942 and in 1947, the institution was officially renamed California State Polytechnic College. As programs continued to evolve, the institution became California Polytechnic State University in 1972. The Learn by Doing ethos continues to inform the paths Cal Poly’s alumni pursue, and they keep the friendships they start here. They also learn by succeeding. Median starting salary for recent graduates was $50,000 (beating all other CSU and UC campuses) and mid-career salaries for Cal Poly alumni are better than all UC and CSU campuses except Berkeley and UC San Diego -- and better than many private universities. More than half of Cal Poly seniors have a job offer in hand before they graduate -- even in today’s difficult economy.

CAL POLY ADMINISTRATION
PRESIDENT JEFFREY D. ARMSTRONG effrey D. Armstrong, former dean of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and professor of Animal Science at Michigan State, officially began his duties as president at Cal Poly on Feb. 1, 2011. Armstrong was head of the Department of Animal Sciences at Purdue University from 1997 to 2001. He served in various positions at North Carolina State University from 1986 through 1997. “Cal Poly has an excellent reputation for preparing the knowledge leaders that help to drive California’s economy,” Armstrong said. “I am honored to join such an outstanding university and excited about engaging students, faculty and alumni to build on its strong foundation and create opportunities for the future.” Armstrong, who was raised on a beef cattle, swine and tobacco farm in western Kentucky, attended Murray State where he received a bachelor’s degree in agriculture in 1981. He received both a master’s (1984) and doctorate (1986) in physiology and endocrinology from North Carolina State. The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at Michigan State has a total budget of more than $290 million for more than 4,500 students. During Armstrong’s tenure, faculty general fund FTE increased 44 percent, overall grant activity increased 146 percent and annual development funds increased by more than 250 percent. More than $200 million (with over $60 million in endowments) was been raised during his tenure. Through the efforts of Armstrong and other members of the administrative team, CANR undergraduate student minority population increased from 8.3 to 11.8 percent and minority faculty increased from 9.9 to 19 percent. In addition, annual revenue from off-campus credit instruction has increased more

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DON OBERHELMAN CAL POLY DIVISION I HONORS
onald J. Oberhelman was named Cal Poly’s Director of Athletics on March 17, 2011. Oberhelman, 42, came to Cal Poly after serving as the Chief Operating Officer and Senior Associate Athletic Director at San Diego State University. In that capacity, he was responsible for the daily operations of San Diego State’s intercollegiate athletics program, including budget planning, hiring and evaluation of coaches, facilities and event management. He also worked closely with San Diego State’s fundraising team. “Cal Poly has a great tradition of academic excellence and we want to continue to build on that tradition in everything we do. For many people, athletics is the first impression they have of the university. We must make sure these impressions are great ones,” Oberhelman said at the time of his hiring. “We know our primary obligation is to develop our student-athletes. I want us to be leaders in graduation rates as well as in championships. But the receipt of a degree is not enough. It must be in a field of interest to the student-athlete and it must lead to a rewarding career. “We will not compromise and place student-athletes on the perceived shortest path to a degree. Here’s the bottom line for Cal Poly Athletics: We are in the business of developing citizens and leaders. Along the way, we can also win championships. Experiencing what it takes to be a champion is a great education in and of itself.” Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong echoed Oberhelman’s sentiments. “Don’s goal is for all of our student-athletes to leave Cal Poly with a diploma and a championship ring,” Armstrong said. “That’s a great goal for our student-athletes and our fans.” Prior to his tenure at San Diego State, Oberhelman served as the senior associate athletic director at Southern Mississippi (2002-07), the education coordinator for athletics at Texas A&M (1998-2002) and as a compliance assistant at Florida State (1995-1998). He earned his bachelor’s in business administration at Kansas State and his master’s in athletic administration at Florida State.

than 20 percent during each of the last six years. “Dr. Armstrong’s outstanding academic credentials, leadership abilities and strong grounding in agriculture and science will be tremendous assets to the university and the community as it moves forward,” California State University Trustee Roberta Achtenberg, chair of the presidential search committee, said. “His reputation for teaching excellence and commitment to student-centered learning are the right complements to Cal Poly’s learn-bydoing philosophy.” As a faculty member at North Carolina State, Armstrong was engaged in the classroom, advising students, revising general university requirements and starting a Freshman College. He received numerous teaching awards at North Carolina State, including the designation as Alumni Distinguished Professor for Undergraduate Teaching. Armstrong’s laboratory-based research focused on nutrition and reproduction in bovine and porcine females and more recent work has been in social responsibility in the food chain. He has been a key participant in more than $9 million in grants and cooperative agreements. He has written or contributed to more than 45 scientific journal articles. Armstrong also serves as chair of the United Egg Producers Animal Welfare Advisory Committee. He advises McDonald’s Corporation in animal welfare, as well as broader issues related to corporate social responsibility. He served as chair of the Board of Agriculture Assembly Farm Bill Committee and co-chair of CREATE-21 (Creating, Research, Extension and Teaching Excellence for the 21st century), and contributed to significant changes in the most recent Congressional Farm Bill. Armstrong also served on the USDA Agricultural Research, Extension, Education and Economics Advisory Committee and recently completed service on the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Seventh District Advisory Council. Armstrong and his wife, Sharon, have two children. Jessica is a medical student at Michigan State and Zack is a finance major, also at Michigan State.

MUSTANGS EXCEL IN THE CLASSROOM or more than 100 years, Cal Poly’s student-athletes have been dedicated to excellence in both the athletic and academic arenas. During the 2012-13 scholastic year alone, 67 Mustangs were named to all-conference academic teams. Since Cal Poly transitioned to the Division I level in 1994, the school has enjoyed 701 total all-conference academic selections – an average of nearly 37 per year. Taking pride in each student’s ability to excel both athletically and intellectually, Cal Poly and the athletics department offer guidance and support to each student-athlete during his or her tenure. To support these motives, the athletics department initiated the Academic Resource Center.
F
Opened in 2001, the center provides yearround academic support, tutoring, workshops and academic advising. The center has also developed study hall programs with bi-quarterly progress checks, weekly academic appointments and a first-year seminar class for incoming student-athletes. In deference to the student-athlete’s need for class schedule flexibility, Cal Poly also offers in-season priority registration for two of the three quarters during which competition occurs. Of the 64 major courses offered at Cal Poly, Mustang student-athletes were enrolled in 54 separate areas, as of the Fall 2009 term.
ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE Featuring 21 varsity programs, the Cal Poly Athletics Department is in its 20th year of NCAA Division I competition since completing reclassification in 1994. With the exception of football (Big Sky Conference), wrestling and men’s swimming (Pac-12 Conference) and the women’s swimming and indoor track and field programs (Mountain Pacific Sports Federation), Cal Poly is also in its 18th year as a member of the Big West Conference. Among Big West institutions, only UC Davis (22 programs) boasts more athletic disciplines than Cal Poly. Prior to transitioning to the Division I level, Cal Poly ranked as the most successful institution in the history of NCAA Division II athletics with 35 national team titles. Cal Poly has continued its winning tradition at the top flight with teams and individuals routinely earning conference championships and NCAA Tournament berths. During the 2012-13 academic year, the athletics department -- which will add sand volleyball in 2014 -saw the football, women’s basketball and baseball programs advance to the NCAA Championships. Individually, Laura Hollander (women’s cross country), Andre Dome (men’s tennis), Kennith Jackson (football), Nico Molino (football) and Deonte Williams (football) each earned All-America honors. At the NCAA Championships, Hollander finished ninth as a freshman in women’s cross country while Dome reached the Round of 16 in men’s tennis. Pitcher Chase Johnson was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the third round of the MLB Draft in June 2013. Named Big West athletes of the year were Dome (men’s tennis), Chris Frias (men’s cross country), Hollander (women’s cross country), John Prader (men’s track and field) and Molly Schlemer (women’s basketball). Freshman wrestler Devon Lotito earned a Pac-12 title at 133 pounds. Hollander earned Big West Freshman Player of the Year honors in both cross country and track while Elise Krieghoff earned similar honors in women’s soccer. Williams and Kennith Jackson were first-team All-Big Sky selections. As testament to Cal Poly’s athletics and academic integrity, 67 Mustangs collected conference all-academic praise during the 2012-13 school year. The Cal Poly Athletics Department also finished fourth in the Big West Commissioner’s Cup, an award presented to the institution with the best overall results in the conference’s 16 sponsored sports. Cal Poly athletes have consistently excelled outside the bounds of the collegiate arena. Cal Poly was represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics by former Mustangs Sharon Day (United States, high jump), Jimmy Van Ostrand (Canada, baseball) and Stephanie Brown Trafton, whose gold medal for the United States in the discus competition was the first such feat by a Mustang athlete. Day (heptathlon) and Brown Trafton (discus) also qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Other prominent post-Cal Poly examples include All-American wide receiver Ramses Barden (2005-08), who was a third-round selection by the New York Giants in 2009. Former linebacker Chris Gocong (2002-05) – one of Cal Poly’s three Buck Buchanan Award winners as the Football Championship Subdivision’s top defensive player – made 35 starts in three active seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles before signing with the Cleveland Browns in 2010. Former men’s soccer midfielder Anton Peterlin is the only Big West player to have appeared in an English Football League match. Two former Mustangs -- Junior Burgos (Toronto FC) and Patrick McLain (Chivas USA) have played on Major League Soccer clubs. As of August 2013, the Cal Poly baseball program produced six Major League players in the last four years while 23 other Mustangs were active professionally.

CAL POLY ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT FACILITIES
ENHANCED BY SOME OF THE NATION’S MOST RAVENOUS CROWDS AND PRISTINE WEATHER, CAL POLY’S ATHLETICS FACILITIES PROVIDE THE MUSTANGS WITH AN UNPARALLELED HOME ADVANTAGE
Completed in 2006, Alex G. Spanos Stadium (above) hosts Cal Poly’s football and men’s and women’s soccer programs. The Mustang football team christened the complex on Nov. 18, 2006 with a 55-0 victory versus Savannah State, while a program-record 11,075 spectators packed Spanos Stadium Sept. 15, 2007 for Cal Poly’s season home-opening win against Weber State. On Oct. 17, 2008, another sellout crowd of 11,075 supporters – then the thirdlargest regular season crowd figure in NCAA men’s soccer history – flooded Spanos Stadium for Cal Poly’s nationally-televised showdown against central coast rival UC Santa Barbara. During the 2009 season, the men’s soccer program ranked third among NCAA Division I programs by averaging 2,213 fans per home date. Cal Poly’s volleyball, wrestling and basketball programs call 3,032-seat Mott Gym (right) home. The athletics department ensured its commitment to Cal Poly’s programs by installing a new $700,000 floor during the summer of 2007. During recent years, Mott Gym has hosted the Pac-12 Conference Wrestling Championships and, in front of a sold-out audience, the first and seconds rounds of the 2006 NCAA Volleyball Tournament (also right). The men’s basketball program produced its most recent sellout during a 60-57 defeat of eventual Big West champion UC Santa Barbara on Feb. 27, 2010. Additionally, the Mustang women’s basketball program drew a program-record 1,737 fans for a Feb. 14, 2009 game against UC Santa Barbara. Remodeled at a cost of more than $3 million, the Olympic-sized Anderson Aquatic Center (left) was completed in August 2009 and plays host to both Cal Poly’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs. Situated adjacent to Mott Gym, the pool measures 12,348 square feet. Eight 50yard lanes highlight the complex, which also provides for a total of eighteen 25-yard cross course lanes. The complex also features a 15-by30-foot all-shallow therapy pool. Anderson Aquatic Center held its first official event on Oct. 3, 2009, when the Mustang women’s swimming program welcomed then-defending national champion California to San Luis Obispo.
