TRACK & FIELD FACILITIES CLEMSON INDOOR FACILITY Clemson track & field opened its $3.6 million dollar indoor track facility in December of 2003. The track is located adjacent to the Rock Norman Outdoor Track Complex. The indoor facility contains a 200m Mondo track with an eight lane (44�) straightaway and a six-lane oval with a 73-foot radius. In the infield, the facility features one high jump apron, two pole vault runways and two long and triple jump runways. A permanent throwing cage is located outside the track for the weight throw and shot put. The facility also includes an athletic training room, seating for 1,800 spectators, restroom and concession facilities. The mezzanine level serves as home to the Tigers’ timing system, public address system, sports information and media work areas. The facility served as the host site for the 2004 and 2007 ACC Indoor Championships.

TRACK & FIELD FACILITIES ROCK NORMAN TRACK Beginning in the fall of 2009, the Tigers’ outdoor facility, named in honor of former head coach Rock Norman, underwent several significant and necessary renovations. The 10-lane track and jump pits were resurfaced in the fall by Beynon Sports Surfaces. The company, based out of Hunt Valley, MD, implemented a 2000 Hobart state-of-the-art surface. Clemson is currently one of only two universities in the nation with this type of outdoor track surface. The unique quality of the Hobart system will allow student-athletes to train, while being able to obtain world-class records and speed. The track features a steeplechase barrier and water jump area on the outer border of the track, and it was renovated in the fall to incorporate a softer hurdle surface and improved signage. The facility features four pits for long jump and triple jump, and a main high jump apron area (66’x112’) which is shared with the runway for the javelin throw (175’). Also in the fall, new trees were planted along the inside and outside of the fence on the frontstretch curve. This gives the facility an aesthetic appeal. New wrought iron fencing and brick pillars were also used in the construction of a new entrance between the indoor and outdoor track facilities. The facility boasts a stadium with a seating capacity of 4,500, as well as permanent restrooms and concession areas. A $100,000 press box was added in 2001, which houses the Tigers’ timing system, media and sports information work areas. Another feature of the Rock Norman Complex is the $80,000 30’x27’ electronic scoreboard and message board. The board displays school, place and time for all 10 lanes. The board demands 56, 280 watts of electricity to operate and is run by a Venus 200 computer. Rock Norman Track, located in Jervey Meadows, is also an excellent facility for throwers with two discus and hammer circles with state-of-the-art protective cages, as well as three shot circles.

MEN’S SEASON OUTLOOK The 2009-10 men’s track & field team is shaping up to be one of the most inexperienced in recent memory at Clemson. That does not mean, however, the Tiger program is lacking in talent. Despite the probable loss of two-sport superstars Jacoby Ford and C.J. Spiller to the NFL, Lawrence Johnson and his fellow coaches return a pair of All-America sprinters, an All-ACC decathlete, and an All-ACC thrower. One of Johnson’s goals with the men’s program is to build a championship-caliber roster, one that can consistently rank Clemson among the upper echelon teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference. With the loss of so many talented athletes, especially over the last two seasons, Johnson understands the process may not happen overnight. “Here over the next year or two, we want to be able to challenge for the ACC championship every year we line up for it,” Johnson said. “Over the next few years, we want to challenge for a national championship. We feel like if we can have success in the ACC, we can have success nationally.” Clemson will have an exciting opportunity to challenge for an ACC championship in 2010 at the school’s Rock Norman Outdoor Track. For the first time since 1999, the conference meet will return to Tigertown. It will be one of eight home meets for the Tigers on the indoor and outdoor schedule. The event will take place on a renovated outdoor facility that includes a resurfaced 10-lane track. “With this just being my second year, we’re excited to have the opportunity to compete for an ACC championship on a track that’s been resurfaced,” Johnson said. “The improvements the athletic department has made will be tremendous by the time we host the ACC meet.” To compete for the conference crown, Johnson and his staff will depend on some key veterans as well as a small, but impressive group of newcomers. Sprints The loss of Ford and Spiller will be tough to overcome, considering the two combined for eight AllAmerica honors from 2007-09. Ford was an NCAA champion last March in the 60m dash, while both combined to lead the 4x100m relay team to a third-place finish at the national outdoor meet in June. Fortunately for Johnson and sprints coach Tim Hall, the Tigers return an All-American in sophomore Justin Murdock. Murdock (Pasadena, MD) had an up-and-down freshman season in 2009, primarily due to nagging injuries. However, he blossomed into an outstanding lead leg for the All-American 4x100m relay team by year’s end. Murdock also ran first leg at the NCAA East Regional when the team first broke the school record for the event. Murdock was All-East Region in the 100m dash and competed in the event at the NCAA Championships last June. Clemson was dealt a tough blow when Trenton Guy was deemed academically ineligible. The loss of a fellow All-American in the 4x100m relay puts more of the leadership burden on Murdock. Joining Clemson’s stable of short sprinters will be Bahamian standout Warren Fraser, who comes in with a personal best of 10.42 in the 100m dash. Fraser was runner-up in the 100m at the Carifta Games in St. Lucia and a sixth-place finisher in the same event at the Pan American Junior Championships. Hurdles An area in dire need of big-time performers over recent seasons has been the hurdles. The Tigers should receive a big boost in both the high hurdles and intermediate hurdles with the return of Spencer Adams,
6
who was injured last season in football. Adams, a safety for Dabo Swinney’s Tigers, was a national champion in both events as a high school senior in Charlotte, NC. Johnson believes he is a “dynamic” athlete who should return to top form once the rust wears off after being away from track for a year and a half. Johnson, renowned as one of the nation’s top hurdle instructors, signed a group of four and also received a pair of transfers. Of the newcomers, Jordan Rispress (Hilliard, OH) may have the best opportunity to make an instant impact. He earned USA Today and Track & Field News All-America honors in 2009, following his runner-up finish in the 400m hurdles at the Nike Outdoor Nationals. He was also a USA Junior AllAmerican in 2008 in the intermediate hurdles. Rispress could also contribute in the quarter mile indoors. In the high hurdles, Marcus Maxey (Athens, GA) is a strong athlete coming off a AAAA state championship as a senior. Maxey also earned All-America honors in the event with a fifth-place showing at the Nike meet. La’Mont Jackson (Winston-Salem, NC) and Dailyn Moore (Sandusky, OH) will provide depth the Tiger program has lacked in recent years. Charlton Rolle (Tennessee) and Michael Simmerson (Charlotte) are both new to the team via transfers. Rolle brings instant credibility, having been an All-Region high hurdler in his two seasons with the Volunteers. Distance For the third straight season, the men’s distance athletes will adjust to a different coach. Brad Herbster was hired in July to run the cross country teams and also coach the track distance runners. He came to Tigertown following a successful run with the Charlotte 49ers from 2002-09. Herbster’s top returning athletes are Will Noble, a red-shirt senior from Gray Court, SC, and Jonathan Sunde, a junior out of Charlotte. Noble improved on his personal best in the 800m last season, and advanced to the finals of the event at both the ACC indoor and outdoor meets. Sunde was the cross country team’s most consistent performer in the fall. Other distance veterans expected to contribute to the team’s success this season are Chad Holt (Charlotte, NC), Tyler Morey (Combined Locks, WI) and Chris Slate (Wilmington, DE). Blake Kennedy, a freshman out of Alpharetta, GA, could also see action for the Tigers. Horizontal Jumps Josh Fowler (Inman, SC) is the lone returning student-athlete in this area for Johnson’s team. A redshirt junior, Fowler has consistently scored in the triple jump at the ACC Championships. He also has qualified for the NCAA East Regional in the event each of his first two seasons. He should be able to go over the 50foot mark this season. The long jump will be an area worth following, as Clemson will usher in a pair of potential contributors this season. Claudio Delli Carpini (Westchester, NY), a multi-event athlete, was an All-American long jumper at the National Scholastic Indoor meet as a high school senior. Another newcomer expected to compete right away is fellow freshman Will Robinson, who hails from Chadds Ford, PA. He was a 2008 Nike Outdoor AllAmerican in the event following a fifth-place finish. Vertical Jumps Clemson returns just one student-athlete in the vertical jumps, senior Chris Spear (Hoover, AL). A former All-ACC competitor in the pole vault, Spear had an injury-plagued junior season. He competed just once during outdoor season due to a groin injury. Spear, whose personal best is 17’2.25”, ranks third in Clemson

history in the indoor vault and fifth outdoors. The pole vault could be a wildcard event this season for the Tigers, who welcome exchange student Xavier Tromp from France. He has jumped over 18 feet on multiple occasions. Should he accomplish the feat at Clemson, he would be in the conversation to challenge former Tiger great Mitch Greeley’s school records. Both will receive instruction from a new coach, Mario Wilson. He was hired after a successful stint at New Mexico, where he coached an All-American vaulter in 2008. Throws Clemson has a solid foundation in the throws with red-shirt junior Alex Padgett. The 6-foot-6 native of Rock Hill, SC was an All-ACC performer last outdoor season in the hammer throw. He ranks in the top five in school history in the weight throw, shot put and hammer throw. He also qualified for the NCAA East Regional last year in the shot put and hammer. Johnson believes Padgett could be primed to “break out and be very formidable” in all areas this season. Stephen White (Beaufort, SC) also returns in the throws. He showed vast improvement last season, especially in the weight throw indoors and discus during outdoor season. White actually placed seventh at ACCs in the weight throw last winter. The throwing events will also feature a change of leadership. Shawn Cobey, former athlete and coach at Youngstown State in Ohio, was hired over the summer. Multi-Events One of the standout men’s performers this season should be junior Miller Moss, a decathlete. The Sumter, SC product was an NCAA qualifier last season in the decathlon and provisional qualifier indoors in the heptathlon. Moss ranks third in Clemson history in the heptathlon with 5,468 points and sixth in the decathlon with 7,323. He needs just 102 points to pass former AllAmerican Ryan Koontz on the heptathlon performance list. Moss is also valuable in the open quarter mile and mile relay. Johnson believes big things could be in store for Moss, who actually hurdled with the incorrect lead leg until coaches picked up on it last season. Delli Carpini will also be utilized in the multi-events. In addition to his prowess in the long jump, he was an indoor All-American at the scholastic meet in the 60m hurdles. A phenomenal athlete, he also kicked a 53-yard field goal for his high school football team as a senior.

WOMEN’S SEASON OUTLOOK In only the second year of a new regime, it’s not unreasonable to believe Clemson should be squarely in the mix to compete for ACC championships in women’s track & field. In 2009, the first year under Director of Track & Field Lawrence Johnson, the women’s team improved five spots from the year before and finished third at the ACC Indoor Championships. The Tiger program returns student-athletes who accounted for 86 percent of the team’s scoring at the league indoor meet. At one point in the 2009 indoor season, Johnson’s team ranked No. 10 in the weekly ratings calculated by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. On top of those facts, Clemson has welcomed a top-notch signing class to campus that should only boost the rising stock of the women’s program. “I don’t think it’s a stretch for our young ladies to think about winning an ACC championship,” Johnson said. “That’s what we’re building toward. We’ve got a young group overall, but as some of those older groups slip, we should be right there to catch them.” While the team does feature a great deal of youth, veterans such as Liane Weber, Patricia Mamona, and April Sinkler will provide leadership due to their experience performing at the highest level. Weber is a returning All-American in the pentathlon, Sinkler is the reigning ACC Indoor Most Valuable Women’s Field Event Athlete, and Mamona owns eight career All-ACC accolades. Perhaps no other move in his first year sent the signal Johnson was comfortable with the direction of his program more than his decision to red-shirt the aforementioned athletes last outdoor season. Each of the red-shirted athletes will have two more seasons of outdoor eligibility. Johnson and his staff added several standout newcomers across the board, especially in the hurdles and multi-events. Multiple freshmen will have the chance to make an immediate impact, beginning with the 2010 indoor season.
teammate of Pringley, won the 400m hurdles and 4x400m relay at the Nike Outdoor Nationals last June. She was also a Nike All-American in the 100m hurdles. Sonni Austin (Decatur, GA) was a three-time AAA state champion in the 300m hurdles. Jasmine Edgerson (Marietta, GA) also won three state championships, in the 100m hurdles. She could be an asset in the short sprints and relays as well. Golladay (Upper Marlboro, MD), a red-shirt junior who was also a provisional NCAA qualifier in 2009, emerged last season as a consistent hurdler. She ranks second in Clemson history with a time of 8.32 in the 60m hurdles. Mamona is also a steady athlete who could see action in the high hurdles.
Sprints Last season, Kristine Scott was flying solo as Clemson’s featured sprinter. After posting modest times her first two years, she found success as a junior under the tutelage of first-year sprints coach Tim Hall. She competed at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 200m dash, a first for a Clemson female sprinter since 2001. Scott was the fourth-place finisher at the ACC outdoor meet in the 200m dash and also scored in the 100m dash. Johnson said during fall training that Scott retained a great deal of what she learned last season. The Orlando, FL native will not be alone this season. She will be joined in the short sprints by Stormy Kendrick, a freshman out of Gastonia, NC. Kendrick was third in the 60m dash at the 2009 National Scholastic Indoor Championships and third at the Nike Outdoor Nationals as well. For the first time in years, Clemson should have a formidable threat in the quarter mile. Brittany Pringley (Miami, FL) joined the program in the fall after winning three national championships in the mile relay (2007, 2009) and sprint medley (2009).
Horizontal Jumps Perhaps the strongest unit on the team, Clemson appears loaded in both the long jump and triple jump. Sinkler qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships in both events, but was unable to compete due to injury. The timing of the injury was unfortunate for Sinkler, who was coming off a record-setting weekend at the ACC meet in February. Sinkler won the long jump with a school-record leap of 21’4.25”, an automatic qualifying mark for NCAAs. She was Clemson’s first league champion in the event since Gisele Oliveira in 2004. She also ascended to third place in the Clemson record books with a personal best of 42’8.75” in a fourth-place triple jump effort at ACCs. Mamona added a third straight indoor All-ACC honor last February in the triple jump. Currently second in the record books behind only Oliveira with a collegiate best of 43’11.25”, she owns a total of seven all-conference accolades in the horizontal jumps alone. She is coming off a strong summer, when she finished fifth in the triple jump at the Under-23 European Championships. The only newcomer to the group is a good one. Jasmine Brunson is a freshman out of Southampton, Bermuda who brings instant credibility to the long jump. She placed sixth in the under-20 long jump at the 2009 Carifta Games in St. Lucia, as well as sixth in the high school long jump at the 2008 Penn Relays.
Hurdles Clemson’s most improved event in 2010 should be the hurdles. Johnson, renowned as one of the nation’s top coaches in the event, signed four outstanding hurdlers. The only one of the four who will not have an immediate chance to make an impact is Janice Jackson (Brooklyn, NY), who suffered a torn ACL prior to enrolling in August. Brianna Rollins (Miami, FL), who was a high school
Distance Clemson has the luxury of a veteran group in the distance events, led by junior Jenna Baker (Bellevue, OH) and sophomore Kim Ruck (Greer, SC). Both have been standouts over the past two seasons for the cross country squad in the fall. Baker was All-ACC and All-Region in 2008, while Ruck earned all-conference recognition in October after a ninth-place individual finish. Baker ranks seventh in Clemson history in the 5000m and ninth in the 3000m, both indoors. She scored for the program at the ACC Outdoor Championships last April with a seventh-place finish in the 10K. She missed most of cross country season while recovering from a stress fracture. Ruck finished two positions ahead of Baker in the same 10K race, despite the fact she had never competed in track & field prior to last season. Kelsey Armstrong (Talbott, TN) is an exciting sophomore addition who joined the cross country team in the fall. She was ACC Performer-of-the-Week after winning the Gamecock Invitational in her first-ever collegiate race. Armstrong is a strong candidate to contribute in the 10K during outdoor season. Another newcomer who could have an impact this season is Lauren Reen (Orlando, FL).
Vertical Jumps Sinkler is the top returning high jumper in the conference and one of the best up-and-comers in the nation. She cleared a school-record 5’11.5” last year
www.ClemsonTigers.com
to win the ACC indoor crown, and Johnson hopes to see her approach the 6’2” mark to challenge the upper echelon nationally. She is not alone in the high jump, however. Linda Buchholz (Bad Segeberg, Germany) and Liane Weber will also compete in the open high jump. Buchholz ranks among the top five in school history in the event, both indoors and outdoors. She cleared a personal best 5’8.75” last spring to qualify for the NCAA East Regional. Weber has cleared 5’7.75” in the event. The pole vault should continue to be a consistent event for the Tiger program. Clemson returns three of its top four performers in that area from last season, including senior Caroline Kennedy. Now learning under her third coach, the Orlando native hopes to put it all together in her final year in a Tiger uniform. She has consistently scored at the ACC level, and last season she moved into a tie for first in the record books in both the indoor and outdoor vault. Providing depth in the pole vault is Amy Morrison (Fenton, MI). She is an outstanding all-around athlete who looks to make strides in her third year with the program, her first under coach Mario Wilson. Throws Though Clemson lost its best performer from a year ago, there is optimism among the group because of the addition of a strong first-year competitor. Brittney Waller (Greenville, SC) joins the program after a standout career at J.L. Mann High School. She finished fifth last spring at the Nike Outdoor Nationals in the discus throw and ninth in the shot put. One area the Tigers look to take advantage of will be the javelin throw. Clemson returns its top three performers in the event, including Buchholz, Weber, and red-shirt junior Bethanie Wachna. A native of Canada, Wachna suffered a season-ending injury the week of the ACC Championships. She ranks second in school history in the javelin, behind only Buchholz, and is a former all-conference performer. Buchholz is a three-time NCAA East Regional participant in the javelin, and last spring she earned her second All-ACC honor in the event with a third-place finish. Buchholz holds the school record with a 152’5” throw. Multi-Events Weber is the unquestioned leader of another strong group of student-athletes for Clemson. She was sixth last season in the pentathlon at the NCAA Indoor Championships and is also a two-time ACC champion in the indoor multi-event competition. She established an ACC record last winter after amassing a total of 4,235 points at the NCAA national meet. Weber spent much of the offseason improving her sprinting and hurdling. Johnson believes big things are in store for Weber, who has one indoor season and two outdoor seasons of eligibility remaining with the Tigers. Mamona dabbled in the multi-events last season, and the result was an automatic berth in the NCAA Indoor Championships in the pentathlon. While her main focus area will still be the horizontal jumps, Mamona is an incredible asset for the Tigers in the multi-events during conference championship season. She posted a total of 4,081 points and was runner-up last February to Weber. She ranks second in school history in the pentathlon, a testament to her incredible athletic ability. Perhaps the top newcomer on the entire roster is multi-event athlete Karine Farias, a native of Porto Alegre, Brazil. She broke the Brazilian national record in the heptathlon and finished 12th at the IAAF World Junior Championships in 2008. Farias was also silver medalist at the under-23 South American Championships the same year.

SEASON PREVIEW The track & field schedule was announced by Head Coach Lawrence Johnson in November. Eight home meets are included on the 2009-10 indoor and outdoor slate, highlighted by the ACC Outdoor Championships at the school’s Rock Norman Track from April 15-17. “We’re excited about our schedule,” Johnson said. “We have a fantastic indoor facility, so we decided to host some more meets and really showcase that a little bit more.” After a one-year hiatus, Clemson will once again open the indoor season with a home meet the first weekend of December. The Roaring Tiger Opener will be Friday, Dec. 4 at the school’s indoor facility. It will be the first of five indoor home meets for the Clemson track & field program. The school will also host the Clemson Invitational (Jan. 8-9), Clemson Games (Jan. 29-30), Tiger Paw Invitational (Feb. 1213), and the Tiger Tuneup (Feb. 20). The Tigers will also make three trips to Blacksburg, VA during the 2010 indoor season. The first competition at Rector Field House will be at the Virginia Tech Invitational on Jan. 15-16. Clemson will also return for the Virginia Tech Elite Meet on Feb. 5-6 and the ACC Championships from Feb. 25-27. It marks the second straight season the indoor league meet will be held in Blacksburg. Last season, the Clemson women finished third at the ACC Indoor Championships. The NCAA Indoor Championships will be held Mar. 12-13 in Fayetteville, AR at the Randal Tyson Track Complex. The outdoor season gets underway Mar. 19-20 with the Clemson Relays. Following the outdoor opener, the teams travel to Atlanta for the Yellow Jacket Invitational (Mar. 27), then to Gainesville, FL for the Florida Relays (Apr. 2-3) and Knoxville, TN for the Sea Ray Relays (Apr. 9-10). The ACC Outdoor Championships return to Clemson for the first time since 1999. The meet will run Thursday through Saturday at a renovated Rock Norman Track. The facility will have a new look in 2010. The 10-lane track was resurfaced in the fall, and plans also call for a new awning as well as wrought iron fencing. “We’re excited to have an opportunity on a track that’s been resurfaced,” Johnson said. “The improvements the athletic department has made will be tremendous by the time we host the ACC outdoor meet.” The Tigers close out the month of April once again at the historic Penn Relays in Philadelphia, PA. Clemson will compete in back-to-back meets in May, first in Atlanta for a three-way meet with Georgia Tech and Kennesaw State (May 1) and then at home for the Orange & Purple Classic (May 7-8). Following the Georgia Tech Invitational on May 14-15, the Tigers will compete at the NCAA East Preliminary Round in Greensboro, NC on May 27-29. The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) elected to eliminate the four-region format that had been used since 2003 to determine qualifiers for the NCAA Outdoor Championships. The 2010 season will feature two preliminary sites, East and West, to determine participants for the outdoor national meet. The 2010 outdoor national meet will take place in Eugene, OR from June 9-12. This is the first time since 2001 that the University of Oregon has served as host to the NCAA Outdoor Championships. The school’s Hayward Field was the host site for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials. The schedule concludes with the 2010 USA Track & Field Junior and Senior National Championships, held June 23-27 in Des Moines, IA. The five-day meet will be held at Drake Stadium.

LAWRENCE JOHNSON - DIRECTOR OF TRACK & FIELD Lawrence Johnson is in his second season as the Director of Track & Field and Cross Country at Clemson. Johnson was hired at Clemson in July of 2008 after serving as an assistant for four years with the Virginia Tech track & field program. Johnson, who served as the Associate Head Women’s Coach for the Hokies in 2007-08, had an outstanding first season as leader of the Clemson track & field program. The most obvious testament to Johnson’s ability as a coach came at the 2009 NCAA Indoor Championships, where two-sport athlete Jacoby Ford won his first-ever national crown in the 60m dash. Clemson produced seven All-Americans in his first year alone, but that only taps the surface of what Johnson was able to accomplish in his initial campaign as a Division I head coach. The first item on Johnson’s agenda was to surround himself with quality coaches. The hire of Tim Hall, an assistant coach at Charlotte, certainly proved beneficial in year one. Hall went on to mentor one of the greatest sprinters in ACC history and was named Southeast Region Men’s Assistant Coach-of-the-Year during the 2009 outdoor season. Johnson then infused a mixture of youth and enthusiasm to the cross country program with the hire of Brad Herbster in July. Herbster’s hire was followed by the addition of up-and-coming assistants Shawn Cobey (throws) and Mario Wilson (vertical jumps, multi-events, javelin). Ford earned three of the All-America honors by himself in 2009. A standout on the football field for Dabo Swinney’s Tigers, Ford excelled in his first season within Johnson’s system. Ford established an ACC record time of 6.51 in winning the league’s 60m dash title. He also went on to win the 100m dash outdoors. Ford capped his brilliant season with an NCAA East Regional title in the 100m dash and 4x100m relay.
FIRST-YEAR SUCCESS All-Americans Jacoby Ford, JR • 60m (1st), 100m (9th), 4x100m (3rd) Trenton Guy, SO • 4x100m (3rd) Justin Murdock, FR • 4x100m (3rd) C.J. Spiller, JR • 4x100m (3rd) Liane Weber, JR • Pentathlon (6th)
The 4x100m relay, consisting of Ford, C.J. Spiller, Justin Murdock and Trenton Guy, experienced a level never before seen at Clemson. Johnson and Hall carefully put the pieces of the puzzle together, and returned home with a third-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships after establishing a school record (38.77). The group also won the school’s firstever regional championship in Greensboro, N.C. last May. Perhaps the most visible aspect of Johnson’s impact in his first year was the turnaround experienced by the women’s team. Clemson finished third at the 2009 ACC Indoor Championships, an incredible fivespot improvement from the previous year. Johnson personally coached three champions at the meet, April Sinkler in the high jump and long jump, and Liane Weber in the pentathlon. Sinkler was named the ACC’s Most Valuable Women’s Field Event Athlete at the conclusion of the meet. Weber went on to earn her first-ever All-America certificate after placing sixth in the pentathlon at the NCAA Championships. She established an ACC record with 4,235 points. Johnson also coached Patricia Mamona, who qualified for the indoor national meet in both the triple jump and pentathlon. Johnson, 34, was one of the top assistant coaches in collegiate track & field when approached by Clemson’s administration about the possibility of becoming the school’s next head coach. He coached the sprints, hurdles, jumps, and multi-events for the men and women at Virginia Tech. He was coming off a 2008 season in which he was named Southeast Region Assistant Coach-of-the-Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Johnson’s groups were a big reason the Hokies claimed four straight ACC championships and two consecutive NCAA East Region titles on the women’s side since 2006-07. In 2007, he was named National Assistant Coach-of-the-Year for women’s sprints and hurdles. In total, Johnson coached 10 NCAA All-Americans and 17 ACC champions in his four years with the Virginia Tech program. He also coached eight NCAA East Region individual champions. In 2008, he coached the Tech women’s sprinters and hurdlers to historic seasons. One of his athletes, Queen Harrison, earned a spot on the United States roster for the Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Under Johnson’s watchful eye, Harrison was the first female in Virginia Tech history to be named to a U.S. Olympic team.

Harrison was also ACC champion in the 400m hurdles and runner-up in the 100m hurdles. She was an NCAA All-American indoors in the 60m hurdles. Johnson coached another exciting sophomore to great individual success in 2008. Kristi Castlin was NCAA runner-up in the 60m hurdles during the indoor season, then ACC champion in the 100m hurdles outdoors. She was also All-Region in the high hurdles outdoors after a fifth-place finish in Tallahassee. Johnson’s student-athletes have experienced great success on the international scene as well. Both Castlin and Harrison earned gold medals in the summer of 2007 at the Pan American Junior Championships. Castlin won the 100m hurdles with a meet record, while Harrison accomplished the same feat in the 400m hurdles. Harrison was also silver medalist in the 100m hurdles. Castlin was silver medalist in the 100m
LAWRENCE JOHNSON - DIRECTOR OF TRACK & FIELD hurdles at the 2008 NACAC (North American, Central American and Caribbean) Under-23 Championships in Mexico. Under Johnson’s direction, both Castlin and Harrison established records at the USA Junior Championships and Pan American Junior Championships. Castlin holds the 100m hurdles record in both, while Harrison sits atop the 400m hurdles records. Prior to his four-year appointment at Virginia Tech, Johnson spent two years as an assistant at Southern Illinois. Prior to that stop, he assisted with the instruction of sprints, hurdles, and jumps at the University of Arkansas from 1999-2002. The Razorbacks won backto-back SEC “triple crown” championships during that time. Johnson earned an undergraduate degree in kinesiology from Arkansas in 2000. He earned one varsity letter with the Razorbacks’ nationally-renowned program. As a sprinter, he helped Arkansas to four SEC indoor and outdoor championships and the 1998 NCAA Outdoor national championship. He competed under legendary coach John McDonnell, who retired this year after leading Arkansas to an unprecedented 42 NCAA championships. In 1995, Johnson was a member of the “triple crown” national championship track & field team at Blinn College in Texas. He also was a 1996 South Coast Conference champion in the 400m at Long Beach City College before moving on to Arkansas. Johnson is married to the former Lilly Montgomery, a former communication skills instructor at Virginia Tech. She is a Ph.D. candidate. The couple has four children, Desirae (14), Lawrence (9), Laniah (5), and Lukas (4).
PRESEASON Q&A WITH THE TIGERS’ HEAD COACH With a year at Clemson under your belt, what have you learned so far and where do you feel you’ve made the biggest strides with this program? LJ: “I learned a great deal on how to orchestrate different plans for both teams. Every plan is different. I’ve learned how to decipher between what will be successful for the men, and what plan will be successful for the women. The two don’t necessarily have to be similar.
Since recruiting has become an area of focus, what are your specific selling points on this track & field program? LJ: “The first thing is the quality of education the kids can receive from Clemson University. With a 15-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio and a 90 percent retention rate among freshmen, those are the things that we sell the most. Kids have an opportunity to actually be taught, not just lectured to amongst a class of 300 people. You can really get a quality education here.
“We haven’t had a ton of great distance runners in quite some time, and coach (Brad) Herbster is doing a great job trying to get some in here. As we move into the future, I think you’ll continue to see a strong array of sprint/hurdle guys, we’ll continue to have great 4x1 relays. We want to be great in the 4x4 relay, year in and year out. On the women’s side, we’ll continue to put a bigger influence on the multi-events.
“Second, we sell the Clemson family and the way of doing things. People want to be able to know that the basketball team cares about the track team, and so on and so forth. This is a really family-oriented place.
“Year one has given me an opportunity to learn what it’s going to take to be successful on the ACC and national level. Now, we’re working towards achieving our goals.” How has the transition been so quick in elevating the performance level of the women’s team? LJ: “It came down to changing the culture and the way we operate, the level of expectations we put in the kids. We want them to really own their time as a Clemson Tiger. You’ve got four years to get it done. Let’s maximize our time, don’t put anything off. We don’t really believe in standards varying by class. There’s only one thing that’s acceptable here, and that’s excellence. I expect the same thing out of freshmen that I expect out of our seniors. It doesn’t put them into categories. It really establishes a sense of urgency.”
“The third thing we want to sell is our facilities, which are arguably the best in the ACC. We have a fantastic indoor facility, the best in the Southeast part of the U.S. The outdoor facility was just upgraded with its Hobart surface. When kids can see the construction going on, that’s proof that there are resources being put into making this a better program. When you see that going on, kids know there’s an investment there.” What are your expectations for the 2010 ACC Championships? LJ: “We’re excited to have it here. With the way it rotates, it takes about 11 years for you to host. We couldn’t be more pleased to have an opportunity. Our teams are going to rise to the occasion and compete for the championship at home. “The two most important meets on our schedule are the ACC Indoor Championships, and the ACC Outdoor Championships. We have every desire and intent on the planet to win those two championships. It will take a great effort to beat the perennial powerhouses,
www.ClemsonTigers.com
but we’re going to make it very hard for them to come here and take a championship out of Clemson. We train our teams to rise on the big stages. I told the kids, ‘Those trophies are ours. If anyone wants them, they’re going to have to take them from us.’” How do you feel about the staff you’ve assembled? LJ: “As a head coach, you’re only as good as the people you surround yourself with. We’ve got some quality people. Tim Hall is in his second year with me, he’s done a great job coaching and recruiting. He’s been terrific with our sprint groups. Brad Herbster has done a fantastic job developing our distance programs. Mario Wilson has put new life into our vaulters, and our multis. Shawn Cobey has taken a group of throwers with potential, and made them believe in themselves. The staff has been crucial to our recruiting, and the success that we look to have in 2010.” Can you quantify the value Jacoby Ford and C.J. Spiller have had on your program? LJ: “No way. Outside of their athletic ability, their leadership was unimaginable. Our kids saw the way they handled their business with such diligence. They had a ‘I will not lose’ mentality. “I think that Spencer Adams, another football guy, will bring the same kind of values they brought to our program. They (Ford and Spiller) really helped our young sprinters grow last year. They understood what it took to be a Tiger, and how to leave it all on the track at the end of the day. Those two guys, you can coach a lifetime and never coach the type of talent those two guys have. If they were the only two that ever come through this program, I would consider myself fortunate.”

TIM HALL - ASSISTANT COACH Tim Hall is in his second season as a member of Clemson’s track & field coaching staff. Hall, who is in charge of coaching the short sprints and sprint relays for Clemson’s male and female athletes, had a major impact on the Tiger program in his first year. It isn’t often a coach comes in to a new setting and guides an established student-athlete to the pinnacle of his sport, but that’s exactly what Hall did with junior two-sport standout Jacoby Ford in 2009. With Hall’s guidance, Ford captured the NCAA championship in the 60m dash, his first and the ninth individual indoor crown for the men’s track & field program at Clemson. Ford put together one of the most amazing seasons in the history of Clemson’s storied sprint program. His only defeat came in the final of the 100m dash in the last race of the season, but Ford strained a hamstring forcing him to pull up while leading the event. Ford won ACC championships in both the 60m (with ACC record time 6.51) and 100m dash events, while also leading the Tigers at the NCAA East Regional with a championship in the 100m dash and as anchor leg for the 4x100m relay. Due to the success of Ford and the men’s 4x100m relay, Hall was named Southeast Region Men’s Assistant Coach-of-the-Year for the outdoor season by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). It was a fitting honor for the man who guided Ford to the second-best time in Clemson history in the 100m dash (10.01) and the 4x100m relay to a school-record time of 38.77 and third-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He also coached C.J. Spiller and Trenton Guy to All-ACC performances, as well as freshman Justin Murdock to an All-East Region finish in the 100m dash. Not to be overlooked, however, was Hall’s work with regards to women’s sprinter Kristine Scott. A junior from Orlando, FL, Scott struggled her first two seasons on campus. Under Hall’s direction, she improved by leaps and bounds and earned her first-ever trip to the NCAA Championships when she competed at the outdoor meet in the 200m dash.
Hall was an assistant for Charlotte from 1996-2008, and served the program as its associate head coach his final three years. During his time with the 49ers, his groups repeatedly re-wrote school and conference records. Hall was also instrumental in helping Charlotte to numerous team championships, first in ConferenceUSA and then in the Atlantic-10. His student-athletes earned numerous accolades in 2008. He coached the 49ers to 10 Atlantic-10 championships, including both the 4x100m and 4x400m relays on the women’s side and the men’s 4x100m relay as well. Hall coached Lamarra Currie, who earned conference crowns in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m, was named women’s Most Outstanding Performer. She was also an NCAA qualifier in two events and CoSIDA first-team Academic All-American. He coached Ebonie Cunningham to a championship in the 400m dash and 4x400m relay. She was named A-10 Rookie-of-the-Year. On the men’s side, Darius Law won the 200m and 400m and was named both A-10 Rookie-of-the-Year and Most Outstanding Performer for his efforts. In total, Hall’s athletes captured 24 event championships in just three years as a member of the Atlantic-10. His most decorated athlete while at Charlotte was Shareese Woods, a four-time USTFCCCA AllAmerican. Woods was 2007 A-10 women’s Most Outstanding Performer and won four individual conference championships during her time with the 49er program. Hall coached her to a gold medal with the 4x100m relay at the 2006 NACAC Under-23 team. Woods went on to have great success in 2008 after finishing her collegiate career. She was USA Track & Field’s 400m indoor champion in 2008, and was also bronze medalist in the same event at the IAAF World Championships. Hall also guided Courtney Patterson to All-America honors with the 49ers’ women’s team. She earned the honor in the 100m dash in 2006. Patterson was also two-time Atlantic-10 champion in the 100m dash and 4x100m relay (2006, 2007) and All-East Region in the 100m both years as well. Hall was tabbed East Region Assistant Coach-ofthe-Year for women’s sprints, hurdles, and relays in 2006 after leading Charlotte to a banner year behind the strong performances of Patterson and Woods. He coached the school’s first-ever All-Americans

PRESEASON Q&A WITH THE TIGERS’ SPRINTS COACH
12
What is it that specifically sold you on Clemson and the track & field program? “Clemson has a storied history, with all the Olympians and World Champions that have come through the program. When the opportunity presented itself, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to realize it would be a wonderful opportunity to get some things done from a sprint coaching standpoint. We have that name recognition. When you call a kid and tell them you’re from Clemson, you can feel them get very excited. It’s an opportunity I’m still looking very much forward to.”
Who are some of the unknown talents you expect to shine this season in the sprints? “I think we’re going to see a tremendous career out of Warren Fraser. He’s going to do a phenomenal job this season, and in the years to come. On the women’s side, Stormy (Kendrick) is going to be in an elite category here very soon. The things she’s done in a short amount of time give us a lot of promise for the future. We have a couple of sprint/hurdlers, who can kind of cross over for us and should step up and continue the strength we have with our 4x1 and our 4x4.”
What are some of the challenges that you foresee as you settle into the second year of this role? “I don’t necessarily see it as a challenge, but I think the biggest thing is acclimating the newcomers into the system. We want to help them understand that if they buy into the system, are willing to make a few sacrifices of themselves, that we can continue this outstanding sprint tradition here at Clemson. That would be the biggest hurdle, as I see it, looking into this season. At the same time, they’ve adjusted really well. We saw that in our first couple of indoor meets.”
How has Justin Murdock handled transitioning from the learner to the leader? “I think he’s ready for the challenge. He’s doing some things in the weight room, he’s constantly asking questions during our practice sessions. He’s taken Warren under his wing, explained to him what we do and what we don’t do. He talks a lot about nutrition and resting his body. Justin has matured a great deal during this transition period.”
Clemson Track & Field
Talk about the development of Kristine Scott and what you expect out of her heading into her final season with the program? “Like I alluded to earlier, once you convince a kid to buy into the system and they see the results, they become more intrinsically motivated. They start to do things off the track they wouldn’t normally do – worry about nutrition, investing in themselves and their talent. That was the case with Kris. She saw the results Coach Johnson and I had at our previous institutions. Once we got her and educated her, it was a refreshing awareness. I saw what she did in high school, so I knew she had talent. It was just a matter of restructuring her thought process in terms of training.” What do you think of Coach Johnson’s vision for this program as you head into year number two alongside him? “He’s charged us with recruiting the best athletes in the country. His vision is to win an ACC championship, and then a national championship. That’s what we, as assistant coaches, have on our minds when we go out to recruit kids. We have the best facilities in the country, so I think we can be very competitive with the upper echelon teams nationally.”
BRAD HERBSTER - ASSISTANT COACH Brad Herbster is in his first season as a member of Clemson’s track & field staff. Director of Cross Country and Track & Field Lawrence Johnson made the announcement in late July. Herbster, most recently an associate head coach with the Charlotte 49ers, is in charge of all phases of the men’s and women’s distance programs. “Brad is an exciting addition as cross country and distance coach,” Johnson said. “He is very knowledgeable about distance running, particularly in the Southeast. He brings a new level of excitement to those programs at Clemson. We’re fortunate to have him.” Herbster got his feet wet at the position in the fall by leading Clemson’s men’s and women’s cross country programs. Both teams finished among the top 15 at the NCAA Southeast Regionals in his first season. He coached sophomore Kim Ruck to outstanding individual results during the 2009 cross country campaign, highlighted by All-Region and All-ACC performances. She placed ninth at the conference meet, the highest finish by a Clemson female in 11 years. Herbster, like current Clemson assistant Tim Hall, joined the Tiger coaching staff after a stint with Charlotte. Herbster coached the distance athletes for the 49er program from 2002-09. During his time with the program, he was an integral part of four straight women’s Atlantic-10 championships as well as three of the last four men’s A-10 team champions. His student-athletes earned great individual acclaim during Herbster’s tenure with the 49ers. He coached 35 conference champions (including relays) between indoor and outdoor track & field in his seven years with the program. In cross country, he mentored 28 all-conference performers, including the 2008 men’s and women’s individual champions. The 2008 cross country season was a banner one for Herbster’s athletes. The women’s team was runner-up at the A-10 meet, thanks to an individual championship by Amanda Goetschuis. She went on to also earn AllRegion honors and compete individually at the NCAA Cross Country Championships in November. On the men’s side, Herbster coached Adu Dentamo to the firstever A-10 individual championship in Charlotte history. The men placed fourth at the league meet.
In 2002, Herbster’s first year, the men’s cross country team won its only Conference USA championship. Herbster was named Conference USA Coach-of-theYear in his initial campaign with the 49ers. On the track, an astounding 27 of Herbster’s conference champions came from the women’s track & field team. He coached Aja Jackson to nine individual championships from 2007-09 and Cassie Ficken to seven in 2005 and 2006. Under Herbster’s coaching, Ficken became the first indoor All-American in Charlotte women’s track & field history in 2005. Jackson was named A-10 Performer-of-the-Year in 2009 after winning both the 800m and 1500m events at the league meet. Herbster coached the 49ers to 10 conference championships in 2009 alone, including four relays. Charlotte swept the men’s and women’s distance medley relay at the A-10 Indoor Championships, while the women’s 4x800m relay won both indoor and outdoor crowns. Four of his individual champions in 2009 were first-time winners at the A-10 Track & Field Championships. Prior to joining the Charlotte program, Herbster spent four years as a high school coach in North Carolina. He coached cross country and distance events for North Mecklenburg High School for three years. He was named Coach-of-the-Year by the Charlotte Observer in 2000-01. He produced six All-Americans and five state champions while at North Mecklenburg. He then spent one year at Hopewell High School in Huntersville, NC, where he helped a startup track program finish second in its conference in its first year of existence.

PRESEASON Q&A WITH THE TIGERS’ DISTANCE COACH You wrapped up your first cross country season in November. How was that experience, and do you feel the program is making strides you hoped to see in your first year? “Overall, it was productive. I learned a lot about the program, about the student-athletes, little things like places to train on certain days, what the athletes can handle, what works well for them from a training aspect, and so on. I felt a lot of the student-athletes showed positive signs of improvement. Kim Ruck had a very good year, Chris Slate and Jonathan Sunde were both consistent and the men stayed healthy.” Kim Ruck had a phenomenal season in cross country, earning All-ACC and All-Region honors along the way. Which event(s) will she concentrate on during track season? “Kim will concentrate on the mile, 3k and 5k indoors. During outdoor season, she will compete in the 15005k and possibly the 10k.”
You hope to get a healthy Jenna Baker back for track season. How much does she mean to the distance group?
What are your expectations for the entire program as it moves into year two under the direction of coach Lawrence Johnson?
“Jenna means a great deal to the distance group, she is strong , determined, intelligent and can add a great deal of depth to the team. Jenna was the top female on the team last year in cross country (2008) and we expect big things from her in track, possibly advancing to the NCAA Championships.”
“The women have a shot to really contend for a conference title, and I feel the men will surprise some people and continue to strive for a conference title, while we progress in many event areas at the conference and national level.”
Who are some of the unknown or underrated athletes in your events that will make their presence known this season? “On the men’s side I think we will have some good performances from Chirs Slate, Bryce Iverson, who I feel many people have forgotten about, and of course Jonathan Sunde in the longer event areas. “As for the women it is really easy: Lauren Reen and Kelsey Armstrong are going to be good, very good.”
www.ClemsonTigers.com
In your opinion, what is the key to building a successful track & field program at Clemson? “First and foremost, you must have good facilties. Clemson has outstanding facilities, we have an indoor facility, an outdoor track, and miles of trail, all of which are really nice. Second, you must have a director of the program with a plan and a vision. Coach Johnson has that plan and vision. Third, you have to recruit high end athletes who want to have success and the work ethic to back it up at this level.”

MARIO WILSON - ASSISTANT COACH Mario Wilson is in his first season as an assistant within Clemson’s track & field coaching staff. Director of Track & Field Lawrence Johnson made the announcement in the summer of 2009. Wilson, most recently an assistant coach at the University of New Mexico, is in charge of the men’s and women’s vertical jumpers and javelin throwers. He will also assist with the horizontal jumps and multi-events. “Mario is a young, dynamic coach who is very intelligent,” Johnson said. “We are excited to bring him and his knowledge to Clemson. He will help build on our field events program as we progress toward the 2009-10 season. We’re very excited he’s chosen to join us at Clemson.” Wilson joins the Tiger coaching staff after a twoyear stint with the New Mexico Lobos. During his short amount of time with the program, he had a tremendous impact in individual athlete development. He coached four All-Americans, three Midwest Regional champions, and six Mountain West Conference champions while with New Mexico. One of the student-athletes he coached, Katie Coronado, earned multiple distinctions as a result of Wilson’s training. She established a school record in the javelin throw, won a pair of Midwest Regional crowns and Mountain West Conference titles, as well as two All-America honors. She was national runner-up in 2008 and 11th in the event in 2009. Coronado was the first female All-American in consecutive years in New Mexico history. Wilson also guided Anthony Fairbanks to AllAmerica status in 2009 after a ninth-place finish in the men’s javelin. Fairbanks also won a Midwest Regional championship and set a Mountain West record with a throw of 225’9”. Wilson also coached MWC pole vault champion Whitney Johnson, who went on to earn AllRegion status as well. The 2008 season was an impressive one for Wilson’s student-athletes. He coached four NCAA qualifiers, two All-Americans, four Mountain West champions, and 10 All-MWC performers. The aforementioned Coronado not only was named MWC Most Outstanding
Performer at the league outdoor meet, but she also went on to place sixth at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials in Oregon. In addition to Coronado’s runner-up finish at the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Championships, Wilson also mentored Robert Caldwell to a sixth-place showing in the pole vault. Caldwell was also MWC Most Outstanding Performer under Wilson’s leadership. Displaying his versatility, Wilson coached Tiyana Peters to an All-Midwest Region performance in the high jump and subsequent appearance at the NCAA Championships. He also coached Sandy Fortner, New Mexico’s all-time record-holder in both the pentathlon and heptathlon. Fortner was the first multi-event athlete to compete at the NCAA Championships for the Lobos. She was 12th in the pentathlon in 2008. Prior to his time in Albuquerque, Wilson was an assistant coach with Bucknell University from 2002-07. He coached an NCAA finalist in the women’s pole vault, 11 NCAA East Regional qualifiers, and 25 individual Patriot League champions. Wilson began his collegiate coaching career at Saint Francis University in Loretto, PA. During his four years with the Red Flash program, Wilson coached a provisional NCAA qualifier, 12 IC4A qualifiers, and six Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) qualifiers. His student-athletes set 32 school records during his tenure. Wilson was also an assistant football coach at Saint Francis.

He was a four-time all-conference defensive back for the Red Foxes on the gridiron. Wilson also earned a master’s degree in education from Saint Francis in 2003.
PRESEASON Q&A WITH THE TIGERS’ JUMPS & MULTI-EVENTS COACH What is it that specifically sold you on Clemson and the track & field program? “There are so many positives associated with Clemson University and its track & field program. I considered the friendly atmosphere created by the community, the strong sense of tradition and values held by the university, and of course the outstanding history of success of the track & field program. All contributed in my decision to make the move to Clemson.” Expand a little bit on the idea of Clemson’s track & field heritage, how did it come into play? “When considering the future success of a program it definitely helps to know the history of that program. I would say that it helps the current student-athletes know what is possible at Clemson, as well as the pride that goes along with wearing the Tiger colors. It also helps from a recruiting standpoint, as the name Clemson is easily recognized in the world of track & field.”

What are some of the challenges that you foresee as you settle into the first year of this role? “Recruiting the best and brightest student-athletes in the country, as well as overseas, is what my challenge will be. We have all of the necessary support at our disposal to get the student-athletes to achieve their dreams. However, all of the best colleges in the country are vying for the same student-athletes.” Who are the top athletes in your event areas, and who are some of the unknown names you expect to have big seasons? “In the men’s jumps and combined events, our hopes rest heavily upon Josh Fowler, Miller Moss and Chris Spear. We also look to newcomer Xavier Tromp to make an immediate impact for the team in the ACC. Fowler has the potential to score in two events, while Miller is one of the most versatile athletes in the ACC. He could contribute in the 400 to the jumps to the decathlon. Spear and Tromp could combine to bring a huge point total in the pole vault. All four have the tools to qualify and perform at the NCAAs this year.
Clemson Track & Field
“The women are just as talented, with perhaps more depth. In the vault, we have Caroline Kennedy and Amy Morrison who are proven scorers and both are looking at attaining national status in the event. In the jumps, combined events and javelin, we have four women in each discipline capable of scoring at ACCs and possibly nationals. Liane Weber, Linda Buchholz, April Sinkler and Patricia Mamona compete in more events than I can mention. These women, through their past performances within the ACC and NCAA, speak for themselves. But there are a few others coming into the season a little underrated. Karine Farias and Jasmine Brunson prove to be nice complements to an already talented crew of stars.” What are your goals for this team and this program, as you head into your first season under Coach Johnson? “Both our men and women are on a quest to be ACC champions. The conference is very competitive, with multiple teams ranked in the top 20 nationally. But our goals have always been to be at the top of the ACC, first and foremost.”
SHAWN COBEY - ASSISTANT COACH Shawn Cobey was the final addition to Clemson’s track & field coaching staff for the 2009-10 season. Director of Track & Field Lawrence Johnson made the announcement in August that Cobey would be in charge of the men’s and women’s throwers. He joins the Tiger track & field program after a successful stint as a student-athlete and coach at his alma mater, Youngstown State. “We’re very delighted to have Shawn join our coaching staff,” Johnson said. “He’s young, knowledgeable and anxious to compete in the ACC and on a national level. His background in the throwing areas should allow us to become one of the best groups in the country.” Cobey compiled an impressive coaching résumé at Youngstown State. He coached the Penguin throwers to great individual success from 2003-09, serving the last three years as the program’s recruiting coordinator. Cobey coached 105 all-conference performers as an assistant coach at Youngstown State, which included 32 conference champions. Cobey had nine Horizon League champions and 20 all-conference performers in 2009 alone. In addition to those outstanding totals, Cobey coached 23 NCAA Mideast Regional qualifiers, five Horizon League Performer-of-the-Meet recipients, and one Horizon League Athlete-of-the-Year. The Penguins experienced tremendous team success during his time as well, with the women’s team claiming five of the last six Horizon League outdoor championships. In 2009, Cobey instructed a pair of NCAA Mideast Regional qualifiers in Joe Lahmon and Aaron Merrill. Both those student-athletes also won a pair of Horizon League crowns this past season. Merrill was also a USTFCCCA Scholar Athlete and third-team CoSIDA Academic All-American. Also in 2009, Danielle Curry won three Horizon titles (including a sweep of the indoor and outdoor shot put) in the women’s throwing events. The most decorated thrower in Youngstown State history was coached personally by Cobey. Bethany Anderson was a 12-time Horizon League champion from 2005-08. She also was named Most Outstanding Field Performer at three different Horizon League
meets during her time with the Penguin program. He also coached Jarrod Davis to an outstanding career. Under Cobey’s tutelage, Davis was a two-time Most Outstanding Field Performer and three-time qualifier for the NCAA Mideast Regional. Davis was also an NCAA provisional qualifier in the indoor weight throw as a senior in 2006. Davis won three Horizon League championships in 2006. Prior to his time as an assistant coach at Youngstown State, Cobey was head coach of his alma mater, Canfield High School, for two years. Canfield won two conference championships under Cobey’s watch. Cobey was a six-time all-conference thrower at Youngstown State, including a two-time conference champion. He ranks among the school’s top 10 performers in the indoor and outdoor shot put, weight throw, discus and hammer throw. He earned a bachelor’s degree in education in 2001. While coaching at his alma mater, Cobey also taught physical education and health for Youngstown City Schools.

PRESEASON Q&A WITH THE TIGERS’ THROWS COACH What is it that specifically sold you on Clemson and the track & field program? “The thing that sold me the most on the Clemson track & field program was the great tradition, the facilities and mostly the people. The way people support athletics and the way everyone that is here works together to improve all our sports programs was what made my decision easy. “The tradition of success at Clemson played a big part in my decision. The tradition that Clemson has gives our staff a good foundation to build from into making the program even stronger in the national rankings.” What are some of the challenges that you foresee as you settle into the first year of this role? “The biggest challenge right now is getting more athletes in my event area and having such young athletes competing. The other challenge is getting the
athletes to understand my coaching. Any time with a new coach, it takes some time to get to know each other and get used to the coach’s style.” What are your expectations for some of your returning studentathletes? “The athletes right now that have national capabilities are Alex Padgett, Zach Berg and Brittney Waller. With Alex having this year and another year after that, his progress is accelerating quickly. Currently, he is close to qualifying nationally and is still young in terms of technique. Alex has all the tools to be great in the next year and a half. “Zach is finally injury-free, so his talent is starting to really show. After being injury-plagued the last three years, he is starting to get stronger and his technique is improving. Zach brings a great focus and intensity to practice and should have a big year.”
www.ClemsonTigers.com
Who are some of the unknown talents you expect to shine this season in the throws? “With Brittney Waller just a freshman, she is very talented and is starting to put things together. She could make some noise in the conference in the weight and hammer, but definitely will in the discus once outdoor season comes around.” What do you think of Coach Johnson’s vision for this program as you head into your first season alongside him? “Coach Johnson has moved this program forward already, even after just one year. We as a staff, with Coach Johnson, all have some high goals to get this team to work toward and are moving forward with them every day. The goal right now for the throws is to improve from last year, get some of these throwers to All-ACC honors and some to NCAA Nationals. That would fall right in line with our goals as a team and as a program.”

It means being able to balance track and academics, and even saying no to a few social events because you may have a morning practice or meet.”
What does it mean to you to be a student-athlete at Clemson? “Being a student-athlete at Clemson means having a desire to succeed and represent Clemson University in the best way that you can.” Do you have a favorite Clemson tradition you’ve learned about? “My favorite tradition I’ve learned so far is when the football players hold each other’s arms when they walk out onto the football field. That, to me, means they are going to play as a team, be a united front in the face of the best team or the worst team, and just play hard.”
Do you have a favorite Clemson tradition you’ve learned about? “Make sure that you have on orange on Fridays or at every home football game, because if you don’t, then you will definitely stick out!”

The endless hours spent studying and practicing are demanding but the greatest reward is knowing that with the hard work and dedication, it will pay off with the earning of your degree.” Do you have a favorite Clemson tradition you’ve learned about? “My favorite tradition I’ve learned about so far has been watching the football players run down “The Hill.” It is by far the most exciting 25 seconds in college football!”

INDOOR SEASON REVIEW Ford Claims NCAA Championship in 60m Dash Clemson continued to show its strength in the men’s sprints after junior Jacoby Ford won the national championship in the 60m dash at the NCAA indoor meet. Ford became the second Tiger to claim the event crown in the last three years, as former sprint great Travis Padgett won in 2007. Ford’s crown was the ninth individual indoor national championship for Clemson in its men’s track & field history. He became the second two-sport athlete from Clemson to win a national championship in track. James Trapp, who spent more than a decade in the NFL as a defensive back, was a national champion for Clemson in the 200m dash at the NCAA Indoor Championships in 1992. Ford matched his own personal best and a national meet record with a 6.51 in the preliminary round. He fell just one hundredth of a second shy of that time in the final, but was able to out-duel fellow football star Trindon Holliday of LSU for the championship.

The junior competed in five different meets in the 60m dash, and was not beaten a single time, either in the preliminary round or finals. Ford began the year with a simple automatic qualifying time of 6.59 at the Clemson Invitational, easily coasting to victory. He matched his own personal best with a 6.52 in winning the Elite Meet at Virginia Tech. However, his ACC mark was short-lived as he beat it by one hundredth of a second three weeks later in the same facility at the conference meet. Ford also ran a 6.51 in the prelims at the NCAA Championships, which tied the national meet record for the 60m dash. Date 1/10 1/31 2/7 2/28 3/14
Johnson Puts Stamp on Clemson Program Clemson’s first-year Director of Track & Field, Lawrence Johnson, was able to put his stamp on the program after coming over as an Associate Head Coach with the Virginia Tech women’s track & field team. The men’s team posted another top-25 finish at the NCAA Championships, while the women’s team was ranked as high as #10 nationally during the season by the coaches’ association. The best example of Johnson’s success in 2009 was the performance of the women’s track & field team at the ACC Championships. The team finished third in the standings, best finish for Clemson since the 2004 meet. Clemson accumulated 85 points on the women’s side, 53 more than in 2007. Johnson also coached a national champion, two regional Athletes-of-the-Year, and an ACC Most Valuable Field Event Athlete in his first year on the job at Clemson. By almost every standard, his first season in charge of the Tiger track & field program was a tremendous success. Clemson Women Third, Men Fifth at ACCs The 2009 ACC Indoor Championships were certainly a success for both the men’s and women’s teams at Clemson. The women finished in third place, best since the 2004, while the men placed fifth in the final team standings. The women’s team had a five-spot improvement from the 2008 meet and produced three individual event champions and four additional allconference performers. The women’s team totaled 85 points, its highest total in years and 53 more than the 2008 team collected. Leading the way was April Sinkler, the league’s Most Valuable Field Event Athlete for women’s track & field. She won a pair of championships, the high jump and long jump, setting school records in both events. Liane Weber was also an ACC champion for the Tiger program, as she earned her second pentathlon crown in the last three years. The men’s team was led by the record-setting performance of sprinter Jacoby Ford. He topped his own league standard with a national-best time of 6.51 in the finals of the 60m dash. He was Clemson’s only league champion on the men’s side. In terms of All-ACC performers, Travis Swaggard earned his first-ever individual honor in both the 200m and 400m dash events. Anastasia Wilson was third in the women’s high jump, her first All-ACC honor. Nikola Lomnicka, a

It was her third straight indoor All-ACC honor in the triple jump, and her first in the pentathlon. In total, she has eight allconference finishes in her career (indoor + outdoor) with the Tiger track & field program. Sinkler ACC’s Most Valuable Field Event Athlete Sophomore track & field sensation April Sinkler was named the ACC’s Most Valuable Women’s Field Event Athlete after the conclusion of the league meet, as determined by a vote of the league’s head coaches. Sinkler won two events and set personal bests in three in leading Clemson to a third-place finish in the women’s team standings. Sinkler, a native of Stafford, VA, had a breakout performance on the Virginia Tech campus. She won the high jump and long jump competitions, setting indoor school records in both events. Sinkler cleared 5’11.5” in the high jump, a solid NCAA provisional qualifying mark. She became the first women’s track & field athlete from Clemson to win the high jump at the ACC Championships. She then won the long jump with a mark of 21’4.25”, which earned her an automatic invitation to next week’s NCAA Indoor Championships. In fact, her long jump mark was ranked #4 nationally heading into the national meet. An untimely injury, however, prevented Sinkler from competing at her first NCAA Indoor Championships.
Jacoby Ford
Weber Earns First-Ever All-America Honor Junior multi-event standout Liane Weber made history at the 2009 NCAA Indoor Championships by becoming the first female at Clemson to earn AllAmerica honors in the pentathlon. The native of Wangen, Germany established a personal best and ACC record with 4,235 points in the five-event competition. She finished in sixth place to nab her first All-America honor as a member of the Tiger track & field program. It was a banner year for Weber, who burst onto the scene for Clemson in 2007 as a freshman ACC champion in the pentathlon. She duplicated the feat in 2009, earning her second crown in the pentathlon. She also was named Southeast Region Field Athlete-of-theYear just prior to the NCAA national meet.

Ford, Weber Earn Regional Honors from USTFCCCA Jacoby Ford added to an already full collection of individual honors after being named the Southeast Region Track Athlete-of-the-Year for the second time in his three years with the program. He also won the honor in 2007 after setting the ACC record in the 60m dash as a first-year freshman. Liane Weber of the women’s team also earned an honor within the region, as she was named Field Athlete-of-the-Year. Both athletes earned NCAA All-America honors and ACC championships in 2009. Mamona Posts NCAA Qualifying Marks in Four Events Versatile junior Patricia Mamona displayed her value to the Clemson women’s track & field team at the ACC Championships in a major way. She scored in four individual events (60m hurdles, long jump, triple jump, and pentathlon) and also helped the 4x400m relay team to a fifth-place finish. Mamona qualified for the NCAA Championships with at least provisional status in four different events. She competed at the indoor national meet in the pentathlon and triple jump. Mamona, who had never competed in the multi-events, was ACC runner-up in the pentathlon with the school’s second-best point total ever (4,081) and an automatic NCAA qualifying tally. The 2009 season marked the first time in Mamona’s career she qualified provisionally in the high hurdles. She posted a top time of 8.41 at the Virginia Tech Elite Meet. Mamona’s top long jump mark was 20’4.5” at the ACC Championships. Her best in the triple jump was also at Virginia Tech when she hit 43’7”, just centimeters off an automatic mark. Golladay and Scott Display Marked Improvement One of the areas Lawrence Johnson targeted for improvement within Clemson’s track & field program was sprints & hurdles, an area he specialized in at Virginia Tech. With the aid of sprints coach Tim Hall, the women’s team was able to show great strides in those areas during the 2009 indoor season. Two of the main reasons Clemson was able to improve were the breakout performances of Kristine Scott and Michaylin Golladay. Both juniors seemed to come into their own during the indoor season. Scott was a scorer in both the 60m and 200m dash events at the ACC Championships, while Golladay was fifth in the 60m high hurdles at the league meet. Both entered the Clemson record books as well. Golladay ran a time of 8.32 in the hurdles, second-best in school history, while Scott ranks among the top 10 in both the 60m (7.55) and 200m (23.95). Strong Stable of Sprinters Though national champion Jacoby Ford received much of the publicity throughout the season, Clemson’s men’s team boasted a strong stable of sprinters in 2009. Three additional sprinters posted NCAA provisional qualifying times, including Ford’s teammate on the gridiron, C.J. Spiller. The others were sophomore Trenton Guy and freshman Justin Murdock. Spiller was excluded from the national championship field for the 60m dash, despite a strong provisional qualifying time of 6.65. However, the entire 14-man

field at the NCAA Championships earned automatic spots. Due to several events in which automatic qualifiers exceeded the expected number, the at-large totals were significantly reduced in 2009. Spiller’s time would have easily been enough to get him in the field for the 2008 national meet. Guy and Murdock showed progress throughout the year, though Murdock was affected for a few weeks by injury prior to the ACC Championships. Guy appeared to be working toward qualifying for the NCAA 60m field, but a false start at the Virginia Tech Qualifier put a stop to his chances. Guy also qualified provisionally in the 200m dash on the final weekend before nationals, posting a 21.21 at Tech. He moved into 10th place on Clemson’s all-time performance lists in both the 60m and 200m during his sophomore season. Travis Swaggard was perhaps Clemson’s most improved sprinter during the 2009 indoor season. Swaggard, who was All-ACC in both the 200m and 400m, ranks seventh on the school’s all-time list in the quarter mile.
April Sinkler became the first female high jump champion at the ACC Championships for Clemson after she cleared a school-record 5’11.5” bar in late February. Anastasia Wilson, third-place finisher in the event at the league meet, ranks second on the school’s all-time list with a 5’10” clearance. She was a provisional NCAA qualifier. Linda Buchholz (5’8.5”) and Liane Weber (5’7.75”) rank fifth and sixth, respectively, on Clemson’s all-time performance list. A fifth competitor on the 2009 team, Patricia Mamona, ranks eighth alltime with a 5’6.5” clearance. In the vault, junior Caroline Kennedy tied the school record after clearing 12’9.5” in the event at the ACC Championships. Kennedy was a strong scorer in the event for the Tigers during the 2009 indoor season. Amy Morrison and Emily Barlage are both tied for fourth on the performance list after clearing 12’5.5” at the league meet in Blacksburg, VA. Both showed improvement as the indoor season progressed. Kat Majester, a newcomer in 2009, cleared 11’5.75” for a season best and is tied for ninth in Clemson history, despite no previous experience in the pole vault.
Liane Weber
Moss Ascends Heptathlon Ranks at Clemson Clemson has a star in the making in the male multi-events in sophomore Miller Moss. The Sumter, SC native finished fifth in the heptathlon at the ACC Championships, but he did so behind some impressive company. Three of the competitors that finished ahead of him participated in the heptathlon at the NCAA Championships. Moss improved in almost every area and recorded an NCAA provisional qualifying total of 5,468 points at the league meet. His point total ranks third in school history, behind only former NCAA All-Americans Ryan Koontz (2007) and Brent Hobbs (2004). He posted personal bests in the 60m dash, 60m hurdles, 1000m, pole vault, long jump, and shot put. Raising the Bar Clemson may very well have had its best collection of women’s high jumpers and pole vaulters ever on its 2009 indoor team. Five of the top 10 performers in the high jump in school history competed for the Tigers this season, including four of the top six. In the pole vault, Clemson’s 2009 roster made up four of the top 10 spots on the school’s all-time performance list.

OUTDOOR SEASON REVIEW Ford, 4x100m Relay Earn All-America Honors Clemson’s performance at the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Championships was highlighted by a third-place finish for the men’s 4x100m relay team. It was Clemson’s highest finish in the event since the 2002 team was runner-up. The team of Justin Murdock, C.J. Spiller, Trenton Guy, and Jacoby Ford held their own in the final against the top teams in the NCAA. Following smooth exchanges all the way around, Ford took the stick in third position. He quickly moved into a battle for the lead, but was relegated to third place down the stretch after a nice finish from Florida’s anchor leg Jeremy Hall. It was Spiller’s second career All-America certificate as a member of the 4x1. However, it marked the firstever All-America honor in the event for Clemson’s other three legs. Guy and Murdock earned their first-ever AllAmerica recognition, regardless of event. Ford also garnered All-America honors in the 100m dash. However, he pulled up in the final due to a strained hamstring and finished ninth. He had the second-best time in the preliminary round (10.01), which was also the second-best time in Clemson history. 2009 NCAA East Regional Highlights • Jacoby Ford captured the men’s 100m dash championship, the third win in the last four years for the Clemson men’s program in the event. • Ford posted a then personal best time of 10.04 to win the 100m dash and earn the automatic invitation to the NCAA Outdoor Championships for the second straight season. • The men’s 4x100m relay won its first-ever NCAA East Regional championship after setting a school and facility record with a time of 38.78. The team was comprised of Justin Murdock, C.J. Spiller, Trenton Guy, and Jacoby Ford. • Murdock earned All-East Region honors in his first trip to regionals. He placed sixth in the 100m dash (10.33), just one spot shy of earning an automatic berth to the NCAA Championships. He and Spiller, however, earned at-large invitations in the event.
Ford Claims First Outdoor ACC Crown With his win in the 100m dash, Jacoby Ford joined a prestigious group of male Clemson athletes to win both the 60m dash (indoors) and 100m dash at the ACC Championships. Six student-athletes have accomplished the feat, including four who have competed in the Olympic Games. The 60m dash was first used indoors at the NCAA level in 1998, so it is important to note that others accomplished the double prior to that time when the indoor short sprint was at a 55m distance. Shawn Crawford was the first to win both the 60m and 100m events. He won three 60m dash crowns and a pair of titles in the 100m dash with the Tigers from 1998-2001. Jacey Harper did it 2001, Dwight Thomas in 2002, and Tye Hill in 2004. Padgett won a pair of ACC outdoor crowns before earning his first indoor championship in 2008 as a junior.

Clemson athletes finished second (Spiller) and third (Guy) in the 100m dash. It marked the first sweep of the top three spots in the event at the ACC Championships since Clemson did it 2001 with Jacey Harper, Larry Griffin and Sultan Tucker. Moss Makes His Way to NCAAs in Decathlon Clemson sophomore Miller Moss patiently waited his turn in the multi-events. His career took off with great promise in 2008, and it continued during the 2009 campaign as well.

OUTDOOR SEASON REVIEW pulled out of the competition due to injury. Moss ranks sixth on Clemson’s all-time performance list in the decathlon, just four points shy of two-time ACC champion Rick Hill. Another Padgett Emerging for Clemson Clemson fans have been accustomed to hearing the last name Padgett synonymous with success in track & field. That was still the case in 2009, however, it’s a different Padgett than the one fans heard each of the previous three years. Travis Padgett, former NCAA sprint champion and 2008 U.S. Olympian, bypassed his final year of eligibility at Clemson and is now a professional sprinter affiliated with adidas. Alex Padgett, a red-shirt sophomore, is the one starting to make noise for Clemson track & field. Padgett, who stands 6’7”, is rapidly becoming one of the top throwers in the ACC. He ranks third on the school’s all-time performance list in the hammer throw, behind only Matt Helinski (1997) and Danny Alge (2006). In April, he earned his first All-ACC honor after a third-place showing. Padgett turned heads after establishing a personal best in the event at the Florida Relays. His top throw was a toss of 192’7”, but he also topped his previous best on three additional throws as well. He then followed with the same mark at the Orange & Purple Classic, before hitting another high of 197’0” two weeks ago at Georgia Tech. The Rock Hill, SC native is also moving up Clemson’s record books in the shot put. He qualified for this weekend’s meet in the event after a throw of 56’10” at the Orange & Purple Classic. His mark ranks fifth-best in school history. Horizontal Jumpers Back at Regionals George Fields and Josh Fowler once again represented the Tigers in the horizontal jumps at the East Region Championships. Both qualified in their respective event, Fields in the long jump and Fowler in the triple jump. Fields was a two-time All-East Region performer in the long jump. As a freshman in 2006, he missed the automatic qualification by one spot in Greensboro. The next year, he placed fourth in Gainesville, FL to earn his ticket to the national meet. Fields’ best mark during the 2009 season was 24’7.75”. Fowler qualified for regionals in 2008, following a red-shirt season due to injury in 2007. The product of Inman, SC recorded a season-best mark of 49’11.25” at the ACC Championships in April. He finished 19th at the NCAA East Regional in Greensboro, NC after a jump of 49’5.75” into a headwind.

Kennedy added another milestone to her career after she cleared 12’11.5” at the ACC Championships in April. Her clearance matched the school record which was set by Sara Young in 2005. Kennedy has been a consistent scorer at the ACC level and has shown steady improvement under multiple coaches.
women’s team was in the sprints, where junior Kristine Scott put her past struggles behind her and took a giant step forward in 2009. Scott qualified regionally in both short sprints, but elected to focus on the 200m dash. She ran a personal best 23.50 in April at the ACC Championships and was fourth place in the event, just four one-hundredths of a second out of the bronze medal. The Orlando, FL native then moved on to the NCAA East Regional on May 29, but did not qualify for the finals of the 200m dash. She was 10th overall, and her time was good enough to earn an at-large spot in the field of 28 participants. Scott is the first female sprinter to qualify for the NCAA Championships in the 200m dash since Shekera Weston in 2001.

She competed in her third
Majester Rises Above the Elements In a rainy setting at the Georgia Tech Invitational on May 16, Kat Majester overcame the elements in a big way. The former cheerleader for Clemson earned a spot at the 2009 NCAA East Regional after clearing the minimum standard 12’7.5” in the pole vault on her third and final attempts. Majester was quite the success story. In just a few months with the program, she worked her way from zero pole vault experience into one of Clemson’s best. A former gymnast, Majester was approached by a Clemson assistant coach about trying out for the track & field team. She made the squad, and scored at the ACC Championships with a seventh-place finish. She was runner-up in the event at Georgia Tech, prior to a 12’6” clearance at regionals. Buchholz Qualifies Regionally in Two Events Clemson junior Linda Buchholz revived her career in 2009 under the direction of first-year Head Coach Lawrence Johnson. A native of Germany, Buchholz earned her second All-ACC honor in three tries in the javelin throw. She qualified for the NCAA East Region Championships in the event for the third straight year, as well as the high jump for the first time. Buchholz went on to place 11th in the javelin, putting together a solid throw of 143’4” on her first attempt. She missed qualifying for the finals by just a couple of feet.
Kristine Scott
The Red-Shirt Report The women’s track & field team took on a completely different look for the 2009 outdoor season than it had in February for the ACC Indoor Championships. The reason is because the coaching staff decided to red-shirt four of its top performers: Michaylin Golladay, Patricia Mamona, April Sinkler, and Liane Weber. The four student-athletes mentioned above combined to score nearly 75 percent of Clemson’s point total accumulated at the league indoor meet. Coaches are hoping that with continued training and the addition of an outstanding signing class, a potential championship-level roster would be set up for years to come. Sinkler is only a sophomore, meaning she will have three outdoor seasons remaining. Mamona, Golladay, and Weber will all have two remaining outdoor seasons.

THE ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE...A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now in its 57th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it. Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 116 national championships, including 64 in women’s competition and 52 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC studentathletes 160 times in men’s competition and 91 times in women’s action. The Virginia Cavaliers won the league’s first track and field national title, claiming the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women indoor crown in 1981. Florida State, although not a member of the ACC at the time, won the 1984 NCAA women’s outdoor title, and 1985 and 1986 women’s indoor titles. As a member of the ACC, the Seminoles men’s team captured the NCAA title in 2006, 2007, and 2008, and have accounted for the league’s three NCAA track and field championships.

Since 1953, member schools have garnered 173 individual NCAA titles in both men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field, while league teams have finished in the top five at the NCAA indoor and outdoor championships a combined 27 times. The 2008-09 indoor season saw nine of 12 league teams compete at the 2009 NCAA Indoor Championships in College State, Texas for the men, while five of 12 women’s teams participated. The Florida State men claimed their fourth straight top-five national finish, while the Seminoles women finished in the top-10 for the second consecutive year. In 2007, eight men’s teams and 11 women’s teams participated at the national meet. Additionally, four individuals from four institutions claimed NCAA titles. Clemson’s Jacoby Ford, also an All-ACC football player, recorded the top time in the 60-meter dash with a 6.52 showing, and Wake Forest’s Michael Bingham won an individual title with a 45.69 time in the 400-meter dash. Seven men claimed topthree times at the national indoor meet last season, and five women—including NCAA champions Kimberly Williams of Florida State and Murielle Ahoure of Miami—placed in the top three. Williams won the triple jump with a leap of 45 feet, 3.75 inches, while Ahoure won the 200-meter dash in a time of 22.80. Overall, 24 men and 14 women combined for 41 All-America

honors during the indoor season. The 2009 outdoor season was equally impressive, as the Florida State men placed second at the national meet in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and claimed its fifth straight top-five finish, while the women finished in fourth. Overall, seven of 12 men’s teams and six of 12 women’s teams participated at the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Championships. A total of 12 men recorded top-three finishes, including national champions Charles Clark, Jonathan Borlee, and Ngoni Makusa of Florida State, and Marcel Lomnicky of Virginia Tech. Charles Clark—the 2009 Field Performer of the Year—won the 200-meter dash in 20.55, while Borlee won the 400-meter dash in 44.78, and Makusa took the long jump with a measure of 26 feet, 7.25 inches. Lomnicky’s 235 feet, six-inch output in the hammer throw was a national meet best, and the Florida State 4x400-meter relay team of Kevin Williams, Kevin Borlee, Clark, and Jonathan Borlee clocked a 44.78 to take first place. In women’s action, Florida State’s Susan Kuijken— the 2009 Outdoor Scholar-Athlete of the Year—won the 1,500-meter run in 4:13.05, while Kim Williams, also of Florida State and the 2009 Field Performer of the Year, won both the long jump and triple jump with marks of 21 feet, 5.50 inches and 47 feet, 2.25 inches, respectively. Three more women posted top-three times. Men and women combined for 41 All-America honors.
