2006 Women’s Outlook

Previewing 2006 Citadel Women’s Track and Field Senior Miriam Crawford will lead an invigorated Citadel women’s track and field team into the 2006 season after the building blocks for success were put into place in 2005. The 2006 edition of the women’s track and field program looks to be stronger and have the same great depth that past teams have featured.

than the school outdoor record of 2:27 and indoor record of 2:29. Those school records look to be rewritten as Jenkins gets better throughout her collegiate career. Distance Laura Hewston will move up from the middle distance group this year to better prepare for the 10k meter run at the Southern Conference championships. She will join Amanda Rawl, who will run the 3k and 5k runs during the indoor and outdoor seasons. Wilma Harp will join Rawl after competing in the steeplechase last year as a freshman. Ritter will likely move up in the steeplechase a few times before the conference championships.

Last year the women broke or established seven indoor and nine outdoor school records. Not to be outdone, last year’s freshman class also broke or established four indoor and seven outdoor freshmen school records. This year’s stellar freshman class looks to have the same kind of impact on the Bulldog record books. The 2006 squad looks to be young and competitive, featuring only one senior and three juniors. With the rest of the roster filled in with sophomores and freshmen, the young group is set to build a team for success in the years to come. Crawford, Laura Hewston, Stephanie McNeill and Amanda Rawl look to lead the Cadets in 2006.

Throws A very strong group of throwers will give the women’s team much needed depth this year. Junior Stephanie McNeill will be the cornerstone as she currently holds four school records (two indoor and two outdoor). Freshman Monique Edwards, who hails from Jamaica, has a personal best discus throw of 130’ to her credit, which is five feet longer than last year’s top throw. Sophomores Laura Phelan, Tosha Sanders and Allison Taylor will handle the javelin duties again this year as Sanders returns from making the conference finals in her Stephanie McNeill knob year.

Sprints & Hurdles Crawford and sophomore Jodi Whittle will carry the load in the sprints with help from Tosha Sanders and Christine DeVasto. Last year these four broke the indoor school record in the 4x400m relay and Crawford, Sanders and Whittle were a part of the outdoor school record 4x100m relay. This group also broke or established six additional indoor and outdoor school records set last year. Vivi Brown and Maggie Bryan, who also lettered in Citadel Soccer, will join the 2006 team to compete in the sprints as well.

Jumps & Combined Events Tosha Sanders will continue to represent The Citadel in the combined events as she had a solid freshman year in the pentathlon and heptathlon last season. Freshman Holly Maslowski looks to be a solid newcomer to the SoCon landscape in the pole vault.

Middle Distance A strong freshman class will give the women’s team some needed depth this year. Sophomore Flipper Reyes returns along with newcomers Megan Jenkins, Erin Ritter and Sarah Strickland. These three freshmen have already contributed greatly as Miriam Crawford they made up three of the top four runners on the 2005 Bulldog Cross Country team that competed in the fall semester. Jenkins’ 2:17 high school time in the 800m is 10 seconds faster

2005 Women’s XC Review

A Look Back 2005 Women’s Cross Country The Citadel fielded one of their most talented women’s cross country teams in school history in 2005, coming off a remarkable 2004 season that sent the Bulldogs to the NCAA Regional Championships. Equaling their best Southern Conference finish in school history, the ladies had four individuals run marks in the sub 20-minute range for the 5k during the season, three of which came from the freshman class, signaling a good sign of things to come.

missed running under the 20-minute mark. That was the race that gave her the confidence at Winthrop, where she placed second amongst Citadel runners and helped the team to finish fourth overall in the 15-team fold.” Jenkins and Ritter ran the second and third fastest times in school history in the 4k at Winthrop. Freshman Caitlin Lincer had a stellar day at Winthrop, placing fifth in the team group despite the fact that she had routinely been the No. 8 runner.

Freshman Megan Jenkins started the season with a personal best time of 19:21, placing fourth at the Gamecock Invitational. Jenkins was the first runner to finish the race from the SoCon, placing fourth overall. Freshman Erin Ritter barely missed the 20-minute mark, placing 20th with a time of 20:01 while junior Laura Hewston finished 25th with a time of 20:12. The Citadel had an impressive first showing in Columbia, placing sixth, one point shy of the College of Charleston (fifth) and two points away from Georgia Southern (fourth).

Strickland had another stellar day on the biggest of all days at the SoCon Championships, as she placed third on the team, running a 19:50. Jenkins and Ritter continued to set the pace for the Bulldogs as The Citadel tied a school best ninth place finish.

“We ran well but were a little disappointed with our finish,” said Huddleston. “We were able to beat the College of Charleston for the first time ever two weeks before the conference championship but Ritter finally broke the 20-minute mark in the second weren’t able to top them at the championships.” race of the year, running a time of 19:56 in the College of Charleston Invitational and placing fourth The 2005 season was successful in many aspects overall. Hewston quickly became the third Bulldog to and the Bulldogs expect an even better 2006 with eclipse the 20-minute mark as she finished fourth at a young group of talented runners returning to the The Citadel Invitational, running a 19:48, just behind squad. teammate Jenkins who finished third with a time of 19:47. The Bulldogs had a stellar showing at The Disney Invitational, finishing 11th in a field of 33 teams. Jenkins and Ritter both ran under 20 minutes at 19:38 and 19:41, respectively, while freshman Sarah Strickland ran a personal best time of 20:03.

“The Disney Invitational was huge for our team,” said head coach Jody Huddleston. “Just a few years ago we would have finished 33rd in a race this large, but our ladies went out with a lot of confidence in a tough field that ran 297 runners. I was so excited that Sarah [Strickland] ran so fast and was sad that she barely

2006 Men’s Outlook

Previewing 2006 Citadel Men’s Track and Field The Citadel football player Dwight House will earn his second letter as he will give the Bulldogs depth in the sprints. As a freshman last year, House finished seventh in the 100m dash at the conference championships. Junior Cameron Easley and freshmen Wesley Merriweather and Caleb Moore will round out a strong sprint corps for the cadets.

Seniors Marcus Butler and Thomas Cummings hope to wrap up their Bulldog careers with conference championships as they lead The Citadel into the 2006 season. Last season, Butler ran third indoors and fourth outdoors in the 800m run while Cummings has finished fourth, fourth and third in the last three years.

Sophomore Jonathan Vallejo is expected to be much improved in the 400m and will get help from Chris Seabold and freshmen John Delgao, Ed Moore, Austin Young and Bryan Hladik.

Hard work and dedication throughout the off-season have helped improve the Bulldogs chances in 2006. Butler and Cummings also teamed up with Quintin Wright and Thomas Pressley to gain All-Southern Conference honors in the indoor 4x400m relay in 2005. “We have been able to fill some holes from last season,” said Citadel head coach Jody Huddleston. “We will look to improve our outdoor finish of fourth place at the Southern Conference Championships.”

Middle Distance All-Conference performer Marcus Butler will carry the load in the 800m run during his senior campaign. Butler finished third indoors and fourth outdoors and will look to move up into the top two places this year. Fellow 800m runner Matt Haight will give the Dogs some added depth.

Sprints & Hurdles The Bulldogs had their best showing in the 400m hurdles in the past 20 years at last year’s conference championships putting three into the finals. Cummings led the way finishing third and earned All-Conference status. John Auer placed fifth and Dan Sagmiller was a very close sixth. This year the Bulldogs add redshirt freshman Jamel Brown into the mix for an added punch in the 400m hurdles.

Marcus Butler

In the mile run, Will Wilson, the No. 1 cross country runner for the Blue and White in 2005, seems to enjoy the shorter distance and is beginning to run very well. Junior Charles Kutz has really matured into a very dependable member of the Bulldog distance team. Kutz will drop down and run the 800m as well as the mile and will be a member of the distance medley relay team. Sophomore Robert Issac has improved tremendously and will push Wilson and Kutz all year. Freshmen Jorge Jimenez and J.T. Marcus will also look to help The Citadel in the mile.

Juniors Quintin Wright and Thomas Pressley, who had very strong showings as sophomores last season, will lead a very talented group of sprinters. Wright was an Quintin Wright All-Conference performer at the outdoor championships, running third in the 100m dash with a personal best time of 10.58. He also finished fourth in the 200m dash with another personal best time of 21.47. At the indoor championships, Pressley made the finals in both the 60m and 200m dashes. In the 60m dash, he ran a personal best time of 6.94 placing fourth and ran another personal best in the 200m with a 22.20, finishing sixth.

Distance Matt Holmes, a junior from Taylors, S.C., should improve greatly this season, as he consistently held No. 2 cross country spot this past fall. Steven Craig will push Holmes in the 3k and 5k indoors and may try the steeplechase this year. Throws Fifth-year senior Rick Austin will lead a very strong

2005 Men’s XC Review Jumps An area that needed improvement in 2005, The Citadel has added two talented high jumpers in Shaquill Smith and Kareem Royal. Smith brings a top height of 6-6 while Royal has hit the 6-8 mark. Both Smith and Royal are also competitive in the long and triple jumps. The Bulldogs also welcome newcomer Alex Johnson who brings in a 14-6 mark in the pole vault.

group of throwers. As a junior, Austin was a finalist in four throwing events at the conference championships: hammer, javelin, shot put and discus. Austin did not compete outdoors last year in preparation for this season. He will be challenged this year in the hammer by junior Zach DiBois and in the shot by junior Alex Croskey. All three are capable of a very big throw and all have worked very hard in preparation for the challenges facing them.

A Look Back 2005 Men’s Cross Country The strength of the 2005 The Citadel men’s cross country team was their team cohesiveness and ability to run together in a group. A solid start and a tough finish was the story of 2005, but experience was gained that could set a good 2006 season in the making.

Citadel in the team score. The Bulldogs then headed to their toughest challenge of the season in Orlando, Fla., for the Disney Invitational. With over 30 teams and over 260 runners, the field was tough enough without the weather being a factor. A 90% humidity level in Orlando gave the race an additional challenge that the Bulldogs overcame, finishing seventh out of 37. Wilson had another stellar day, placing ninth overall with a time of 26:10.

The Bulldogs opened up at the Gamecock Invitational where they showed promise with only a 36 second gap between the top five runners. The Citadel finished second to Western Carolina by 10 points; the closest the Bulldogs have finished within the Catamounts in several years. The Citadel’s top five all ran under 17:00 for the 5k race and the Bulldogs put two runners in the top 10 with junior Will Wilson finishing third and junior Matt Holmes placing seventh.

The Citadel struggled late in the season as they ran a disappointing ninth at the Winthrop Invitational. Holmes led the Bulldogs with a 24th place finish in Rock Hill, S.C., while No. 1-runner Will Wilson, who was ill, placed 55th overall.

The Citadel continued their early season success at the College of Charleston Invitational where the cadets won dual meets over both the College of Charleston and Charleston Southern. Wilson and Holmes were first and second, respectively, against Charleston and The Citadel swept the top five finishers against CSU.

Will Wilson

The Bulldogs rounded out the 2005 campaign at the SoCon Championships. Wilson finished in 40th place and Holmes placed 48th overall. Robert Isaac, who regularly was a top five finisher in The Citadel’s groupings, was unable to complete the race.

The Bulldogs placed second in the 25th Annual Citadel Invitational. The Citadel continued to have a strong showing, placing second for the 14th time in the quarter century long event. Three Blue and White runners finished in the top 10 as Wilson placed second Matt Holmes overall. Holmes came in fourth and senior Marcus Butler finished eighth. However, Furman had an outstanding day, putting six in the top ten and edging The

Wilson and Holmes will be two of the three seniors leading The Citadel in 2006 as they will lend their experience and leadership to a younger team.

Possessing more than four decades of college athletics experience to his credit, Robinson, who also served as athletics director and basketball coach at North Carolina State and East Tennessee State, is only the fifth athletics director in The Citadel history. He served as the Bulldogs’ basketball coach from 1974-85, having spent the five previous seasons as an assistant coach. In his first five years leading The Citadel’s athletics program, Robinson’s skills as a proven fundraiser have already benefited The Citadel Brigadier Foundation. During the past five years, the school witnessed the opening of the Altman Athletic Center at Johnson Hagood Stadium and the addition to McAlister Field House for women’s athletics. The Citadel, under Robinson’s guidance, has hosted the Southern Conference cross-country championships, the first two rounds of the women’s basketball championships, the men’s and women’s tennis championships and the baseball tournament. A 1965 graduate of N.C. State, Robinson served five years as a Bulldog assistant coach under Dick Campbell and George Hill, and eventually spent 11 seasons as The Citadel’s head basketball coach from 1974-85. He directed the 1978-79 and 1984-85 teams to 20 and 18 victories, respectively. Robinson was named the Southern Conference Coach-of-the-Year in 1979 and was tabbed South Carolina’s Coach-of-the-Year in 1979 and 1985. Following his tenure at The Citadel, Robinson became the head basketball coach at East Tennessee State, where he coached the Buccaneers for five years, increasing their win total (7-14-20-27) each year. The West Virginia native remains the only coach in Southern Conference men’s basketball history to earn league Coachof-the-Year honors at two different schools, and he ranks fifth on the conference’s list of basketball wins. Robinson concluded a six-year term serving on the prestigious NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, one of the NCAA’s most influential committees. The Committee is responsible for site selection for each round of the NCAA Division I men’s basketball championships. Robinson earned a bachelor of science degree in education and recreation from N.C. State in 1965 and added a master’s degree in education and guidance from Western Carolina in 1969. Robinson is married to the former Barbara Simon of St. Albans, W.Va. The Robinsons, who have maintained a home on Sullivan’s Island since coaching at The Citadel, have four children and seven grandchildren.
