NCAA DIVISION III
MEMBERSHIPS
In 2013, Covenant became full members of the NCAA Division III following a four year transitional period from 2009-2013. The largest division, in terms of number of schools and number of participants, is Division III comprised by more than 170,000 student-athletes at 444 mostly smaller institutions. Academics are the primary focus for Division III student-athletes. The division minimizes the conflicts between athletics and academics and keeps student-athletes on a path to graduation through shorter practice and playing seasons, the number of contests, no redshirting and regional competition that reduces time away from academic studies. Student-athletes are integrated on campus and treated like all other members of the general student-body, keeping them focused on being a student first. The college experience is a time of learning and growth — a chance to follow passions and develop potential. For student-athletes in Division III, all of this happens most importantly in the classroom and through earning an academic degree. The Division III experience provides for passionate participation in a competitive athletic environment, in which student-athletes push themselves to excellence and build upon their academic success with new challenges and life skills. And student-athletes are encouraged to pursue their full passions and find their potential through a comprehensive educational experience. The Three D’s: Discover Division III student-athletes are encouraged to pursue their interests and passions beyond the classroom and field of play…to discover themselves. Develop Division III institutions provide an environment that encourages student-athletes to develop into well-rounded adults. Small class sizes, the ability to participate in more than one sport, and an emphasis on participating activities outside of the classroom are all hallmarks of the Division III experience. Dedicate Division III institutions expect student-athletes to dedicate themselves to achieving their potential. Student-athletes must manage their busy schedules, keep up with class work and face the same challenges as the rest of the student-body.

Katie Stanford HEAD COACH
Head Coach
Katie Stanford will begin her fourth year of coaching both the men’s and women’s cross country teams in the fall of 2014. She joined the athletic staff as the head men’s and women’s cross country coach in the spring of 2011. Following the departures of former head coaches Debby Vannoy and Scott Williams, Stanford became the third cross country coach in as many years during her first season with the Scots and Lady Scots. Stanford took over a Covenant cross country program that was coming off of a very successful 2010 campaign during which it ‘unofficially’ saw its men’s and women’s teams respectively finish first and second in the Great South Athletic Conference Championship meet. In her inaugural 2011 campaign with the teams, Stanford continued the squads’ recent successes, guiding the Lady Scots to an “unofficial” first-place finish and the Scots to a second-place prize at the GSAC Championships. Under her direction, the teams combined for two wins, six runner-up performances, and 10 top-five finishes in 2011. Success also found the programs in the 2012 campaign. The women’s team once again unofficially won the Great South Athletic Conference championship and two runners earned All-GSAC honors. Stanford also successfully oversaw the revitalization of the cross country trails on Covenant’s campus and, because of this, Covenant hosted a meet for the first time in recent memory. Stanford continued the pattern of success in 2013 as Covenant moved into the USA South Athletic Conference. The men’s team captured the USA South title, while women’s runner Beth Burgess was the individual USA South champion on the women’s side. Both teams made an appearance at the NCAA South Regional meet for the first time in school history. Prior to Covenant, Stanford served as the cross country and distance track coach for Chattanooga’s Notre Dame High School, where she worked for one cross country season (2010) and two track seasons (2010-2011), following a four year stint as the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s assistant cross country coach and head recruiter. During her time there, the Lady Mocs were the Southern Conference cross country champions from 2006-2008, and the Mocs were runners-up in 2005, 2007, and 2008. Stanford also served as the women’s assistant cross country coach at the University of West Georgia from 2003-2004 while obtaining her Master of Public Administration. Stanford attended Samford University and earned a BA in Political Science in 2003. She competed for the Bulldogs in cross country, indoor and outdoor track from 1998 to 2003. During her collegiate career, she twice earned AllConference track honors and was the Atlantic Sun Conference 1500 meter champion in 2002.

2014 SEASON PREVIEW
Cross Country Programs Aiming High in 2014 LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN -- For a third consecutive year, the Covenant cross country teams will open their seasons at home. The teams will once again host the Mountaintop Invitational on Friday evening. The women’s event begins at 6 p.m., while the men go at 6:30 p.m. Coming off last year’s success, both teams have high expectations heading into the 2014 campaign. The men’s team became the first program in Covenant history to claim an official conference title at the NCAA Division III level when they took the USA South crown last November. With key returners coming back this season, the Scots have been picked as the favorite to capture the conference once again. “The guys want to repeat and that is their top priority,” said fourth-year head coach Katie Stanford. “Our goal is winning the conference. The new guys are talking about repeating as much as the seniors. We know that we can do it.” Leading the charge on the men’s side are seniors Stephen Dillon and Jack Williams. Dillon had four top five finishes a year ago and placed second at the USA South Championships meet, while earning first team All-USA South honors. A USA South All-Conference second teamer, Williams had his best season in 2013 and looks to continue that in his senior year. Junior Hunter Rasmussen along with sophomores Eliot Gardner, Justin Jantomaso, Caleb Spykstra and Charles Taylor also return from last year. Stanford boosted the team with a strong recruiting class that brought in three freshmen and a transfer. The freshman class includes Zach Atchison (Troutman, N.C.), Eliot Kaufmann (New York, N.Y.) and John Weaks (Perry, Ga.) along with Wheaton (Ill.) transfer Graham Massot (Rochester, Minn.). Sophomore Phil Moore (Hershey, Pa.) also joins the team this fall.

WE ARE THE
SCOTS “We have a great recruiting class this year,” noted Stanford. “I am excited to see them compete.”
2014 SEASON PREVIEW
The women will be led by senior Beth Burgess. Burgess earned numerous accolades last year but her crowning achievements were winning the USA South Individual title and setting a program record time in the 6k at the NCAA South Regional. “Beth looks strong and ready to go this year,” added Stanford. “She wants to lead our team to a successful season and also build upon her performance from last season.” As a team, the Covenant women finished second in last year’s USA South meet and is picked to finish as the runner-up this year. Meredith was selected to repeat as USA South champions and is ranked ninth in the preseason USTFCCCA South/Southeast region poll. “The girls know that it will be tough to beat Meredith this season, but we believe we can compete with them,” said Stanford. “We want to be at a level where we can compete with the top team in the conference.” USA South All-Conference second teamers in junior Esther Anderson and sophomore Anna Hankal return this season. Other returners include junior Ruthie Cargill and sophomore Grace Bodron. Stanford’s recruiting class on the women’s side has five freshmen. Margaret Fitch (San Antonio, Texas), Jordan Francis (Villa Rica, Ga.), Sarah Jo Griffith (Nashville, Tenn.), Abby Irwin (Issaquah, Wash.) and Julia Price (Nashville, Tenn.) make up the 2014 freshman class. “This recruiting class can step in right away and start contributing,” noted Stanford. The 2014 year also marks the first full graduating class for Stanford as Dillon, Williams and Burgess have competed all four years with Stanford as their head coach. “I have been with these three the whole four years. It has been fun to see them grow as athletes and people,” said Stanford of her senior class. “They have learned to be leaders by example and it is good for the younger athletes to see that. They have been committed to the program and have gotten consistently better every year.” The Mountaintop Invitational will be the largest of the three season opening events held on campus. Four teams Covenant, Maryville, Truett-McConnell and Reinhardt - will complete the field. The women’s race is a two-mile run, while the men will face a 5k. “This is a good way to kickoff our season on our own trail,” remarked Stanford. “It is a measuring stick to see where our runners are and where they need to be. We are excited about having three teams joining us this year, as opposed to one the previous years.” Covenant has won the past two season opening meets it has hosted.

It was a memorable year for both Covenant cross country teams as they competed in the NCAA Division III and the USA South Athletic Conference for the first time.
2013 SEASON IN REVIEW
Under third-year head coach Katie Stanford, the two programs experienced fantastic seasons. The men captured the USA South title while women’s runner Beth Burgess claimed the top individual spot in the conference meet and later broke a school record. The men had three team titles on the season beginning with the Scots Opener in August. In that 5k, Covenant dominated conference foe Maryville to earn the first victory of the season. Four weeks later on Sept. 28, the men placed better than any other Division III school at the Greensboro Invitational, led by junior Stephen Dillon’s 20th place finish. But the race the men’s team most looked forward to was the USA South Conference meet in early November. Competing on the same course from the Greensboro Invitational, the men used that to their advantage as they beat out Methodist for the conference title, the eighth in program history. Dillon was once again at the head of the pack as he finished second, but the junior was joined by seniors Zach Smith and Matt Gorter who finished fifth and sixth, respectively. Dillon, Smith, and Gorter all earned first team All-Conference while junior Jack Williams finished 13th at the conference meet to earn second team honors. “The men wanted to win the conference and they went for it and didn’t hold back,” said Stanford. “It was close. We knew Methodist had gotten stronger late in the season and that they would be on our backs. Stephen had the best race of his career and he, Sean Hagstrom (Maryville) and Sydney Machokoto (Methodist) did a great job of pushing each other early on.” Although the women fell just short of a USA South title, placing second behind a strong Meredith squad, they also had a phenomenal season that was capped by Burgess’ individual USA South crown and later a program record. First, Burgess, a junior from Nicholasville, Ky., had two victories on the year including at the conference meet where she ran the 6k in a time of 24:51.1 en route to the top spot. “I am so proud of Beth,” remarked Stanford about Burgess after the meet. “I told her she could win and that she could take it out from the start and that’s exactly what she did. She made the decision at the beginning to win this race and never looked back.” Burgess was joined on the first team All-Conference by sophomore Spookie Eaves while sophomore Esther Anderson and freshman Anna Hankal earned second team honors.

However Burgess’ outstanding season did not end there. As the teams competed in the NCAA Regional meet for the first time in school history, the junior made history of her own as she broke the program record in the 6k with a time of 23:58. The time was two seconds faster than the previous mark set by Hannah Matthews in 2010. “I am so excited for Beth. Adding a school record to all her other accomplishments this season is icing on the cake,” added Stanford. All told, the women had three team victories on the year beginning with the Scots Opener, followed by the Greensboro Invitational, and capped with a title at the Maryville Invitational. In the NCAA meet, a combined nine runners set new personal marks. On the women’s side, Burgess, Hankal, junior Alicia Zanoni, and Eaves set new personal records. The men had Dillon, Gorter, Williams along with freshmen Hunter Rasmussen and Eliot Gardner run personal bests. It was a tremendous season for both programs as they broke new ground in school history with a conference title and strong showings throughout the year. “I have been very blessed to work with this group of kids this year,” said Stanford about her teams. “We are going to miss Matt (Gorter) and Zach (Smith). They have done a great job leading this team and preparing our freshman.” Awards: USA South Runner of the Week Beth Burgess (3 times - Sept. 16, Sept. 30, Oct. 21) Stephen Dillon (Sept. 30) All-Conference - Men Stephen Dillon - 1st team Zach Smith - 1st team Matt Gorter - 1st team Jack Williams - 2nd team; All-Sportsmanship All-Conference - Women Beth Burgess - 1st team Spookie Eaves - 1st team Esther Anderson - 2nd team Anna Hankal - 2nd team Ruthie Cargill - All-Sportsmanship CoSIDA Academic All-District Beth Burgess USTFCCCA All-Academic Beth Burgess USTFCCCA Scholar Teams: Men’s team Women’s team
