History & Records

Hall of Fame

The Citadel Track and Field

The Southern Conference, which began its 89th season of intercollegiate competition in 2009, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

Membership History On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league which began play in 1932.

The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford. Leadership John Iamarino was officially named commissioner of the conference on January 2, 2006. Iamarino has promoted the Southern Conference through an ambitious agenda which has improved competition, upgraded compliance-related matters, launched the conference’s Hall of Fame and increased the marketing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions. The Southern Conference named its first commissioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the first person at the helm of the conference. Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athletics. In 1987, he was succeeded by Dave Hart who spearheaded the transfer of the league office from Charlotte, N.C., to Asheville, N.C. Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retirement in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the Southern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball tournament. Waters, who is currently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was followed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA office, introduced the current conference logo and elevated the conference’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners. Danny Morrison headed the conference from 2001-2005 and orchestrated the league’s move from Asheville, N.C., to Spartanburg, S.C. Under Morrison’s leadership, the conference increased its marketing and promotional efforts. Championship History The first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. Commissioner Germann spearheaded the Southern Conference’s expansion to include women’s athletics during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994. The Germann Cup, named in honor of the former commissioner, annually recognizes the top women’s athletics programs in the conference. From its humble beginnings, women’s athletics have become an integral part of the Southern Conference and its success. The Southern Conference declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and softball.

Jody Huddleston Head Coach ● 24th Year ● South Alabama ‘77

Entering his 24th year at The Citadel, head cross country and track and field coach Jody Huddleston continues to lead one of the most successful programs at The Citadel and in the Southern Conference. Huddleston’s tenure has witnessed 53 conference champions, 220 All-Southern Conference honors bestowed, the first woman to compete in athletics at The Citadel, the first woman to win a conference championship at The Citadel and the first woman to compete in an NCAA Championship event in school history. In addition, The Citadel has set seven NCAA Regional qualifying marks under Huddleston’s tenure since the implementation of the regional championship system in 2003.

In 2009, Huddleston earned the 2009 SoCon Indoor Track and Field Coach of the Year award for the many successes of his athletes during the indoor season and at the SoCon Indoor Championships. Brian Baize clinched the school record in the heptathlon while Kevin Hardy and Megan Jenkins earned SoCon Track and Field Athletes of the Week in the same week for their performances at the Tiger Invitational in Clemson, S.C. Hardy then came back to the SoCon Indoor Championships and won the long jump while Jamel Brown earned All-Conference honors in the 60m hurdles. Brown joined Christian and Christopher Graham and Zach Johnson in earning All-Conference honors for the 4x400m relay. Hardy and Christian also made the SoCon’s inaugural All-Freshman team. In 2008, Huddleston led Jamel Brown to his first Southern Conference title in the 400m hurdles and led another Bulldog to qualify for the NCAA regional. The Citadel men finished fourth at the SoCon Indoor Championships in Clemson, S.C. and The Citadel women finished eighth. Tasha Sanders scored 14 of the 22 points that the women’s team collected. Sanders also broke several pentathlon school records and picked up All-Conference honors. At the SoCon Outdoor Championships, Brown brought home a title for the Bulldogs and The Citadel men finished in third place. Brown earned All-Conference honors while Jimmy Harris also earned All-Conference for finishing third in the high jump. The Citadel women placed seventh overall with Sanders and Monique Edwards tabbing All-Conference honors. Huddleston also coached off the track placing 12 men and women Bulldogs on the Southern Conference Winter Academic All-Conference Team. The 2007 season, Huddleston witnessed four Southern Conference Championships as the women’s team recorded their best finish in school history. Senior Stephanie McNeill brought home three individual titles (20lb. weight throw, hammer, shot put) while junior Tasha Sanders won her first SoCon crown (heptathlon). The Citadel women placed a record fifth at the SoCon Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Boone, N.C., scoring a program-best 56 points. The men’s team showcased a stellar hurdles squad, placing two finalists in the 110m hurdles and three in the 400m hurdles at the SoCon Outdoor Championships. The fourth place finish by the men’s team marks the seventh time in the past eight years the Bulldog men have finished fourth. Huddleston led the Bulldogs through the historic 2006 track and field seasons, which included then-junior Stephanie McNeill

Hall of Fame

2009 SoCon Indoor Coach of the Year entering the history books on several separate occasions and the women’s team doubling their best performance at a conference championship. McNeill set history by becoming the first woman from the Military College of South Carolina to qualify for an NCAA Championship event, throwing a qualifying mark of 47’ 9” in the shot put. McNeill won her flight in the shot put at the NCAA Regional Championships with a throw of 46’ 10.25” as she finished 15th overall. The women’s team finished sixth at the SoCon Outdoor Championships with a school record 48 team points scored. Huddleston, along with assistant coach Kris Kut, guided McNeill as she won the 2006 Southern Conference discus title with a throw of 141’ 2”, making her the first female cadet to win a SoCon Championship. Those accomplishments, along with regional and national media exposure, came in a 2006 track and field season that saw 22 school records broken, 19 athletes receiving All-Conference honors, three SoCon Athlete of the Week honors, two conference champions and two conference superlative honors. Moreover, McNeill was named the SoCon’s Outstanding Field Performer and freshman Shaquill Smith was tabbed as Freshman of the Year after he won the high jump, placed fifth in the triple jump as he set a new freshman school record (47’ 4.25”) and placed eighth in the long jump. Huddleston’s program first broke into the national headlines in August of 1997 when Mandy Garcia became the school’s first-ever female cadet-student-athlete and attracted unprecedented national media exposure as she set history. Garcia served as the lone member of the women’s cross country, indoor track and outdoor track “team” that year. Two years later, Peaches Hudson took second in the heptathlon and captured the institution’s first female All-Southern Conference honor. Huddleston came to The Citadel from Oklahoma Baptist in Shawnee, Okla., where he served as head coach for seven years. In 1984, he earned NAIA District IX Coach of the Year honors. Earlier that year, the Bison finished second at the league championships, the best track performance for the school in 10 years. An All-America decathlete at Florida Community College, Huddleston set a new national junior college decathlon long jump record in 1975. He transferred to South Alabama and went on to establish two school records. Huddleston graduated from South Alabama in 1977 with a bachelor’s of science degree in physical education. He earned a master’s degree in education two years later at that same institution. Huddleston has three children, Ryan (25) and Callie (18,) while he and his wife, Mary Ellen, have one daughter, Mary Kathryn (5). Mary Ellen also works at The Citadel in the Health, Exercise and Sport Science Department while serving as the Director of Intramural Athletics.

Assistant Coach ● 10th Year ● The Citadel ‘00 Kris Kut is in his 10th year as an coach at The Citadel and his fourth as the recruiting coordinator. Kut has watched from the sidelines as school records for the track and field and cross country teams have fallen over and over again. Kut, who focuses mainly on the field events, has helped coach 19 conference champions during his tenure at The Citadel, including the school’s first female to win a conference championship, Stephanie McNeill. Kut guided McNeill to a total of four SoCon titles as she also became the first female from The Citadel to qualify and compete in an NCAA Championship event. Under his tutelage, The Citadel’s cadet-student-athletes have won 119 All-Conference honors and numerous school records have fallen, including 23 during the 2007 season and 45 over the past three seasons.

In 2008, Kut helped Edwards to her All-Conference honors and coached the men’s team to a fourth place finish for the eighth time in nine years at the SoCon Outdoor Championships. The women’s team finished seventh with Jodi Whittle, Tasha Sanders, Sarah Strickland, Heather Harris, Natalie Wolin, Allison Taylor and Katheryn Gatewood along with Wolin and Sanders breaking school records. In 2007, Kut guided McNeill to three league titles while coaching cadet-student-athletes to 27 All-Southern Conference honors. The women’s team posted a record fifth-place finish at the SoCon Outdoor Championships while the men’s team placed fourth for the seventh time in eight years, maintaining their presence in the top-half of the conference. Kut, a 2000 graduate from The Citadel, was a four-year letterwinner at The Military College of South Carolina as he pursued his bachelor’s degree in political science. He remained at the school as he earned his master’s degree in health, exercise and sport science in 2003. A three-time Southern Conference Champion as a cadet-student-athlete, Kut also received four All-Conference honors. He remains the school record holder in the javelin and was a junior national qualifier, competing in the 1997 Junior National Track and Field meet in St. Louis, Mo. As a senior, Kut finished seventh in the javelin at the prestigious Penn Relays, as well as first at several other key meets.

The Citadel Track and Field Women’s Outlook

This year’s team will count heavily on the fifth year experience of Monique Edwards and Sarah Strickland as they lead a relatively young squad into the 2010 season. Edwards returns for her fifth year having scored a total of 30 points during her previous indoor and outdoor championships events. She currently holds the freshman indoor 20lb. weight, the freshman outdoor hammer and discus school records. Her goals are to win a conference championship as well as challenge several of the current school records held by Stephanie McNeill, who owns all five of the school weight event records. Strickland currently holds two indoor and one outdoor school record. After having a very good cross country training program in 2009, she will look to challenge several additional school records. Sprints and Hurdles The Bulldogs will miss sprinter Jodi Whittle who graduated with six individual school records and was a member of seven school record relay teams. The Citadel will also be without last year’s freshman Outstanding Track Athlete, Brillyance GilchristPoteat, who scored in four events at last year’s outdoor championships. The Bulldogs will look forward to her return in 2011. Junior Sarah Creel, who is ranked third in school history in both the 100 and 200 meters, and sophomores Francesca McCrary and Caitlyn Lees will handle the sprints and run on several relays. They will be joined by freshman Chalita Johnson who will excel in the short sprints and add an explosive start to the relays. The Citadel will expect Chalita to run some really fast times and continue to help improve the relay teams. Senior Battalion Commander Lauren Fleming will run the 400 hurdles.

Jumps and Combined Events Fleming enters her senior year following a very good off season conditioning program and will look to better the indoor and outdoor pole vault records. Freshman Kelsi Billings will follow in the footsteps of Tasha Sanders competing in the combined events as well as the long jump, triple jump and high jump. Sanders holds the indoor pentathlon and outdoor heptathlon school records. It will be interesting to watch Billings as her strongest events are the jumps and Sanders’ strongest events were the throws and hurdles. It will be difficult to compare how Billings stacks up with Sanders. Jasmine McLamb will also compete in the high jump and long jump. Middle Distance Strickland will likely bounce back and forth between these events and the longer distance events as she currently owns the indoor 1000 meters and the mile school records as well as the outdoor steeplechase record. She will compete indoors in the mile and 3k and outdoors from the 1500 through the 5k. She will be joined by senior Katheryn Gatewood who holds the indoor 800m school record and has been our number one cross country runner the past two years. All indications are that freshman Micah Wessinger will run some very fast times in the 800m and mile and will be joined by sophomore Erinn Carter who will run the 800m and the relays. Distances Senior Natalie Wolin, who owns the indoor 3k and 5k school records and the outdoor 10k record, has been training very hard and will aim to lower her 10k record during the outdoor season. Suzanne Gay, Sarah Stierwalt and Sophia Bay will also run the 3k and 5k events. Throws Following a very successful season last year, senior Emily Green and sophomore Theresa Johansen as well as Edwards, should give the Bulldogs tremendous depth in the indoor weight, outdoor hammer and discus. Green and Johansen had impressive seasons last year and The Citadel will look to them to continue to improve. Green and sophomore Anna Fuzy will throw the javelin. Whitney Nave and Mia Trevino will also throw the shot put, javelin and discus.

2009 SoCon Indoor Coach of the Year Men’s Outlook

Occasionally the Bulldogs lose someone to graduation that just can not be replaced. Jamel Brown is one of those athletes. This year’s team will definitely miss Brown but there are several athletes who will step up take over his role. Back for their final year of eligibility are fifth-year athletes Zach Johnson and Matt Earls, who both have been in several championship finals the past couple of seasons. Senior Brendan Kight who was this year’s cross country team captain, has his sights set on breaking the steeplechase school record he just missed last year. Junior Quintin Turner will also show vast improvement and should move into the group of elite throwers in the Southern Conference. Coach Kris Kut had a very successful recruiting year and The Citadel is looking forward to what this very talented group can accomplish in the next few seasons. Sprints and Hurdles With the exception of Brown, the sprint and hurdle group has been a little down the past couple of years. However, the Bulldogs think they may have rebounded and are looking to brothers Christian and Chris Graham to have much improved years. Christian, along with football standouts Kevin Hardy and Keith Gamble, will show great improvement this season. These three along with freshmen Brunson Miller, Cody McCoy and Danny Till, should make the Bulldog sprint core very exciting to watch. Miller, state champion in the 400m, should add depth to both relays and hopes to improve on his 48.67 personal record in the open 400m. Till, all-region in the 100m and 200m, should bring much needed depth to the short sprints and will look to improve on his 10.88 personal record in the 100m. He will also help in the relays. McCoy will look to help in the relays and focus on the short sprints. Chris will handle the both hurdle distances and run on the 4x400m relay.

ence performer Jimmy Harris who had a career-best jump last year of 6’6.75” in the high jump will get support from freshmen Xavier Newton and Parker Gaston. Throws A very solid group of throwers will be led by Quintin Turner, who is expected to show huge improvement this year in the weight, shot put and discus. Team captain Will Norris has also worked very hard in the off season and should have a very good season in the weight and hammer throws. Earls returns in the weight throw and the javelin for his remaining year of eligibility and is expected to be a finalist in the javelin for the fourth consecutive year, as well as a finalist in the weight throw for the second consecutive year. Junior Chris Castagno rounds out the group with the ability to score in the weight and hammer throws. Middle Distance Zach Johnson should have another strong year following the third-best all-time indoor 800m record last year. Along with the eighth best 800m, Frankie Dioguardi subs two minutes which gives the Bulldogs a pretty strong group. Jordan Ashley, county champ and all region in the 800m, will look to improve on his 1:56.34 personal record. Kight ran the fifth-best indoor mile last year and The Citadel have several quality freshmen milers this year. John Gatewood will look to make his presence known in the mile and 3K. Gatewood, an all-region cross country runner, competed in a very talented region in track and qualified twice. Freshman Clayton Thornton, region champ in the 3200m, will look to make an impact in the 800m and the mile.

Distance This group has quite a bit of talent and the Bulldogs are looking for good things from local product Chris Fallis, as well as Kevin Flood, Nathan Jackson, P.J. Wasilchak and Zach Jumps and Combined Events Hardy will look to defend his long jump championships from Yereb. They will all run the indoor 5k and the outdoor 5k last year as well as run the sprints where he made the finals and 10k. Fallis had his best cross country season in 2009 in the 60 meter dash. Hardy broke the indoor school record and should be much improved on the track. Flood also had winning the indoor championships with a leap of 24’2.25” and a very good cross country season and should have a good then he followed with an outdoor championship with the third year. Freshman Kyle Keene looks to continue his success best outdoor jump ever at 23’9.5”. Gamble will also jump as thus far as a Bulldog after having a tremendous cross country will Shane Woodard who will also handle the triple jump du- season in the fall of 2009.

Captain Tom Metsker ‘61 (Far right, back row) is shown with the command group of the 1st Battalion, 7th U.S. Cavalry in November 1965. Capt. Metsker was killed just hours after this picture was taken when he gave up his place in a med-evac helicopter for another officer who was more seriously wounded than he. A two-time SoCon Champion from The Citadel, his sacrifice was told in the book We Were Soldiers Once, and Young by Lt. Gen. Hal Moore, U.S. Army (Ret.) and Joe Galloway. His sacrifice was also shown in the movie We Were Soldiers. He is believed to be the first varsity athlete killed in action in Vietnam.

Hall of Fame

The Citadel Track and Field The History Behind The Citadel Hall of Fame They couldn’t remember if it was sunny, cloudy or rainy but they did recall meeting in Athletic Director Eddie Teague’s office on the second floor of McAlister Field House. They were certain, however, that it was hot outside. Forgive these aging men if they can’t recall minor items like the day’s weather. After all, it was more than a quarter century ago. On June 11, 1977, five volunteers from The Citadel Brigadier Club and two ex-officio committee members left Coach Teague’s air-conditioned office with papers in hand. Gen. George Seignious, The Citadel’s president, had endorsed the volunteers’ work and the hard-nosed Teague was pleased. Even the school’s attorney had given it his blessing. What those men walked away with on that suspected warm and humid day 29 years ago was the formation of The Citadel Athletic Hall of Fame. They brought a unique way to honor, recognize and keep the legacy alive of those who proudly wore the blue and white and who excelled on a higher plane on the various athletic fields, courts, rings, pools, ranges and tracks of competition. These celebrated combatants were clearly the best of the best. And they still are. The Citadel Athletic Hall of Fame Steering Committee consisted of Herbie Wilcox, his brother, John Wilcox ’56, Bob Daniel ’49, Bob McDowell ’55 and Stan Hurteau ’65. Jimmie Jones ’58 was the ex-officio member from the Brigadier Club and Jim Dodson ’55 represented the Association of Citadel Men. One of the first orders of business was that the Hall was to be jointly coordinated and operated by both the Association and the Brigadier Club. One benefit of membership in The Citadel Athletic Hall of Fame is receiving two free tickets to every home athletic event for life. Evidently, that perk was something that Teague, a hawk of a businessman, was reluctant to give away. “Eddie was tight,” Daniel remembers, “though he didn’t have much to start with. But I say with all sincerity that I was blessed that I was able to work with Eddie Teague. He was a wonderful man who was somewhat embarrassed to ask for anything, but he got things done.” Teague eventually relented, and the tradition of each Hall of Fame member owning two lifetime passes to all home athletic events continues. The first Hall of Fame induction ceremonies took place in Jenkins Hall and remained there until they were moved to McAlister Field House in the mid-1990s. The format for the ceremonies pretty much remains the same. The original class of inductees included Cecil Johnson ’11, Richard King ’29, W.F. “Gunner” Ohlandt ’51, Paul Maguire ’60 and John Small ’70. Today, there are 138 members in The Citadel Athletic Hall of Fame, of which 54 are deceased. Membership encompasses the sports of football, basketball, baseball, track and field, wrestling, soccer, boxing, rifle, tennis, golf and swimming. The Hall’s by-laws permit only four athletes and one “honorary” member to enter in each calendar year. Eighteen of the Hall’s inductees have entered as “honorary” members. Most of the honorary inductees are coaches while others are former administrators or boosters. However, one is a trainer (William Boswick) and another (George Norwig) is the first “Voice of the Bulldogs.”
