2011-12 OUTLOOK The Davidson wrestling team will have a different look this season with 11 freshmen joining seven returners, but the Wildcats are just as hungry for success as they open the 2011-12 season Saturday at the Rat Rumble Open hosted by VMI. “I feel great, great things are coming in the present and I know they are going to come in the future,” said head coach Bob Patnesky. “It’s just a matter of time before we see more guys on top of that podium like Alex Radsky.” With the departure of Southern Conference podium finishers Alex and Vitaly Radsky and heavyweight mainstay Charlie Wolff, the Wildcats have some big holes to fill. Patnesky, beginning his eighth season at the helm and his 10th season with the Davidson wrestling program, and assistant coach Michael Childs will look for continued improvement from the returners and for their talented newcomers to step in early. “We just have to be excited for where we are at as we have some talented freshmen, but you just don’t know in a year like this what could happen,” said Patnesky. “It’s a matter of how fast they turn the corner, how fast they mature and how fast they understand the concept of college versus high school wrestling. It’s a whole different level of competition, but it could be something special. We’ll just try to be positive and keep encouraging them to move forward.” Senior captain Tyler Mullen, the lone senior on the team, will look to lead the squad and earn a Southern Conference Championship at 165 pounds after his injuries marred his chances in 2011. “I am extremely excited on the year and to see what happens,” said Patnesky. “Our main objectives are to stay positive, win or lose, and to keep getting better each and every week.”

125 pounds Junior Matt Zarth will look to hold on to his starting spot with freshman Philip Elias challenging him for time on the mat. Zarth compiled a career best 15-19 record and placed fourth at the Southern Conference Championships last season. “We do expect Matt to have a break out year,” said Patnesky. “He is bigger, which is good in his weight class, and hopefully he can put it together and have a great run at the end of the year. We are looking for him to step up and be a leader and take care of business.” Elias was a 2011 Pennsylvania

Tyler Mullen

Interscholastic Athletic Association state tournament place winner and Southwest Regional third-place winner wrestling at Shady Side Academy in Pittsburgh, Pa. He also qualified for the state tournament in 2010 and was the Southwest Regional Champion.

133 pounds With the departure of Alex Radsky, a freshman will step into the void of the 2010 Southern Conference Champion and NCAA Tournament participant. Anthony Elias, the twin brother of Philip, will battle Ben Hartshorn for the starting nod. Elias won backto-back Allegheny County championships as a junior and senior wrestling at Shady Side Academy, and qualified for the state tournament as a senior. Hartshorn was a four-time allcounty, all-league and Pennsylvania AAA Southeastern Regional Qualifier at Conestoga High School in Stafford, Pa. He was also a 2011 state qualifier and two-time sectional champion.

141 pounds Freshman Kevin Birmingham will look to replace last year’s team MVP, Vitaly Radsky. Birmingham placed seventh in the New Jersey state tournament wrestling for Timber Creek High School in Slickerville, N.J. “In wrestle-offs, Kevin was super impressive,” said Patnesky. “He’s exciting and can catch you from anywhere.” 149 pounds Junior Scott Ray plans to stay at 149 for the season, a weight he went 9-11 at in 2011 and competed in the conference tournament at. “He is a lot bigger than he was last year and I think it’s going to be a great move for him,” said Patnesky. “He just needs to keep a good head. He is an extremely hard worker and has a lot of talent. We will just have to see what happens in the conference.”

spot. As far as his character and how far he has grown since he has been a freshman, it is just incredible.”

174 pounds After wrestling at 184 and 197 pounds as a sophomore, Ike Crews is moving down to 174 pounds for his junior season. “Ike might not be down there for a few weeks but he just works hard,” said Patnesky. “He tries to get better each and every day and you can see significant improvement in him and he just needs to continue that. One advantage Ike has is that he is just very strong. We need to take advantage of that.” Freshman Ian Solcz will look to challenge Crews for the starting nod. Solcz was a fourthplace finisher in the New York State Championship at Pittsford Mendon High School in Pittsford, N.Y.

184 pounds Sophomore Scott Patrick was named to the SoCon All-Freshman team after going 8-10 with four pins at 174 pounds, but will move up to 184 pounds for the 2011-12 season. Patrick went 2-1 in three bouts at the weight last season. “I think 184 will be a very comfortable weight for Scott,” said Patnesky. “He’s definitely got a chance to make conference finals. With the talent that he has, it is on him to determine what he wants to do. We are going to push him as much as we can, but in the end, he is the one that’s going to really push himself to the top.”

157 pounds Injuries kept CT Talevi off the mat as a freshman, but he’ll look to make a big impact for the ‘Cats this season. A Roanoke, Va. native, Talevi was a two-time top-five state tournament finisher Cave Spring High School. “CT is really excited to come back and wrestle this year,” said Patnesky. “He is going to go 157 for us and he’s been working extremely hard to get into shape.”

165 pounds Tyler Mullen had put together a career-best season as a junior with a 15-11 record, but an injury abbreviated it before the conference tournament. In his senior season, Mullen will be counted on to score points on the mat and be a leader off of it with the ‘Cats’ youthful team. “Tyler has all the talent in the world to win the conference,” said Patnesky. “It’s just a matter of what happens, and the Saturday the conference tournament is held, anything can happen. It’s a tough weight but he has a good shot at winning if he puts it all together at the right time.” Junior Chris Cirenza will move down a weight class from last season and compete with Mullen for the slot at 165 pounds. “Chris has made a total commitment to wrestling and it’s great,” said Patnesky. “He’s going to battle Tyler Mullen for the starting

197 pounds Freshman Eddie Isola will occupy a weight class the ‘Cats struggled to fill last season. Isola was a state runner-up as a senior at Bishop Moore Catholic High School in Maitland, Fla. “Ed is a true student of the sport and he wants to achieve great things in collegiate wrestling,” said Patnesky. “He is coming along and will do well at 197.”

Heavyweight Freshman Jordan Ownbey will start at heavyweight, replacing longtime starter Charlie Wolff. Ownbey placed fourth in the North Carolina state tournament wrestling at Enka High School in Candler, N.C. “Jordan has a very solid wrestling background and we’re excited to see his progression,” said Patnesky.

MATT ZARTH

Junior w 125 w 5-5 Lexington, Ky. Henry Clay Biology

Coach’s Quote: “Matt Zarth is probably one of the toughest kids you will ever meet in your life. The kid is just a tremendous person, he’s a great worker.

HEAD COACH BOB PATNESKY 8th Year West Virginia, ‘01 Record: 40-81-1

Bob Patnesky is in his eighth season as Davidson College’s head wrestling coach and ranks third in all-time victories at the school. Davidson wrestlers continued to see success at the Southern Conference Championships in 2011, as twin-brothers Alex and Vitaly Radsky both earned places on the podium in their respective classes. In 2010, Patnesky returned Davidson to the NCAA Wrestling Championships for the first time since 1999 after guiding Alex Radsky to the Southern Conference Championship at 133 pounds. Radsky was the first Wildcat to claim the top spot on the conference podium in 41 years. Vitaly, finished as the SoCon runner-up at 141 pounds. Davidson has consistently been one of the top wrestling programs in the country for academics under Patnesky’s tutelage. The Wildcats were ranked in the NWCA’s Division I All-Academic Top 30 for five consecutive five years, earning the fifth-best team grade point average in 2009 and 2010. In 2010, Alex Radsky earned a place on the NWCA AllAcademic team and Ben Altman was named to the ESPN the Magazine/CoSIDA AllDistrict team. In the 2008-09 season, a pair of Wildcat wrestlers finished third at the Southern Conference Championships. David DeCamp and Tyler Mullen were both named to the SoCon All-Freshman Team following their impressive rookie campaigns, and the 'Cats boasted two SoCon Wrestler of the Week honorees, with Sam O'Hair and Vitaly Radsky both bringing home the award, making Davidson one of just four schools in the con-

ference with multiple weekly award winners. Three Wildcats finished third or higher at the 2008 SoCon Championships with Ben Altman placing second at 125 pounds. Altman was named to the NWCA All-Academic team, and Davidson finished 11th in the country in the team GPA rankings for the second straight season. It’s the third consecutive season the ‘Cats have been ranked in the top-25. Five Wildcats placed third at the Southern Conference Championships in 2007, and the team scored the second-most points in school history at the event. Altman was named the conference’s Freshman of the Year. In addition, Davidson topped Duke for the first time in 40 years and placed 11th in NWCA team GPA rankings. As the interim head coach in 2004-05, Patnesky led the Wildcats to an 8-7 overall record, their first winning campaign since Davidson recorded an identical mark in the 1983-84 season. He came to Davidson College as an assistant coach prior to the 2003-04 season after serving in the same capacity at Ohio University for two years while earning his master's degree in recreation and sport sciences. There he coached four-time AllAmerican Jake Percival. “It is truly an honor to work and coach at an institution like Davidson College,” said Patnesky. “The academic prestige is what really attracts student-athletes to the school.” A High School National finalist, Patnesky was a three-year starter at West Virginia, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in 2001. The three-time NCAA qualifier is the all-time

winningest wrestler in his weight class at West Virginia. Patnesky was the 2000 Eastern Wrestling League champion, helping his team win the EWL crown and a sixth-place finish in the country. He was a three-time Jr. National All-American, a national finalist, individually ranked among the top 12 wrestlers in the country for three years and finished his college career with more than 100 victories. He also competed for the U.S. on a tour of France and Poland in 1999 and earned NWCA Academic All-American accolades. Before serving as an assistant coach at Ohio University, Patnesky served as a volunteer assistant coach at his alma mater for a season. There, his primary duties included recruiting, coaching, scheduling and scouting opponents. Patnesky is single and lives in Charlotte with his dog, Bella.

Except for a five-year break with the U.S. Army Air Corp in World War II, Parker spent four decades as the Wildcats' wrestling coach. One of the highlights of his career was in 1963 when he coached the U.S. wrestling team in the Pan-American games in Brazil. He served in several national amateur wrestling associations, including the U.S. Olympic Wrestling Committee (1959-1960) and the National AAU Committee. Parker edited the NCAA Wrestling Guide and was secretary-treasurer of the Carolina Wrestling Officials Association. He was a certified international wrestling official and a charter member of the National Athletic Trainers Association. Parker was inducted into Davidsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall of Fame in 1991-92

Lowell L. Bryan '68 Inducted in the HOF Class of 1994-95, Bryan was a Southern Conference wrestling champion for Davidson in 1967. He also played football and baseball for the Wildcats. In 1991 he received the James P. Hendrix Award, which is presented to the Davidson football letterman who by use of the lessons learned on the playing field has gone on to achieve outstanding success in his chosen profession. Bryan is a partner with McKinsey and Co., a New York financial consulting firm which advises top managers of companies on strategy and the impact of economic and credit changes in their industry.

Harold A. Westervelt '59 Inducted in 1997-98, Harold A. Westervelt is the only wrestler in Davidson history to win three consecutive Southern Conference championships. In 1957 and 1958, he won the conference title at 157 pounds. In 1959, Westervelt moved up to the 177 pound class and won again. In 2006, he was named to the Southern Conference's 75th Anniversary team - the only Davidson wrestler selected for that honor. Westervelt was also a three year letterman in football for the Wildcats from 1956 through 1958, the last time Davidson posted three consecutive winning seasons.

Kerry Keith '69 Keith was a two-sport standout, as a fullback on the football team and a star on the wrestling squad. Twice he led the Wildcats in rushing, first with 719 yards on 155 carries (4.6 avg.) in 1967, then with 377 yards on 121 yards in 1968. He also scored nine touchdowns as a sophomore, tying the school record at the time. He finished his career with 1,378 yards rushing (14th all-time) on 353 attempts as well as 16 touchdowns, plus 19 receptions for 225 yards. On the mats, Keith advanced to the national tournament in 1968, earning Davidsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-ever points at the national meet with a first-round victory. He was the Southern Conference champion at 191 pounds as a senior, one of only six individuals ever to win a SoCon title.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR/PRESIDENT JIM MURPHY, DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

CAROL QUILLEN, PRESIDENT

Jim Murphy was introduced as Davidson College’s Director of Athletics in November of 1995, returning to his alma mater to lead the Wildcats on the eve of their 100th anniversary of intercollegiate athletics and into the next century. Prior to his appointment at Davidson, Murphy, 53, spent 10 years as executive associate athletic director and chief financial officer for the Georgia Tech Athletic Association. Murphy, an Atlanta native, played football and baseball during his freshman year at Davidson. His experience has been invaluable as he guides a program which is unique in its desire for excellence in both athletics and academics and has one of the smallest enrollments among NCAA Division I schools. Reflecting his support of academics, Davidson’s NCAA graduation rate of 91 percent was the highest in Division I in 2001-02, second in 2002-03 with a rate of 97 percent and continues to be above 90 percent each year. “I firmly believe Davidson represents the ideal in college athletics and think the success of Davidson’s students, both in competition and after graduation proves that,” said Murphy. “It’s true that Davidson needs intercollegiate athletics, but intercollegiate athletics need Davidson even more.” Since Murphy’s return to Davidson, the Wildcats have pursued several major capital projects, including the creation of the highly-innovative $10 million Davidson Scholars Program, and major improvements have been completed in Belk Arena and at Smith Field at Richardson Stadium. The last five years have seen the construction of the Belk Artificial Surface Field for field hockey, the new Alumni Stadium for soccer, Wilson Baseball Park and batting cages and the football stadium expansion project, which included a state-of-the-art weight room, a new press box and additional Murphy and Tripp Merritt make a presentation to Davidson all-time leading passer Ryan Alexander. permanent seating. Murphy, the 2004 NACDA Division I-AA/I-AAA Southeast Region Athletic Director of the Year, served two terms on the prestigious NCAA Division I Management Council, a policy-making body within the NCAA governance structure. He chaired the Division I-AA Governance Committee and formerly served on the NCAA Division I Business and Finance Cabinet, the Division I Governance Committee and the Division I Finance Committee. From 2002-04, Murphy chaired the Athletic Directors Association of the Southern Conference. He was part of Charlotte’s successful bid to host the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championships in 1999 and 2000 and also served as Tournament Director of the first and second-round games of the 2005 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in Charlotte. Murphy is a past member of the Division I Football Issues Committee and Past-President of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletic Directors Association. He was also a member of the NCAA Task Force on Recruiting, an 18-member panel charged with changing the culture of recruiting in intercollegiate athletics, and currently serves on the NCAA’s Fiscal Responsibility Oversight Group. A licensed Certified Public Accountant and 1978 graduate of Davidson with a degree in economics, he earned a Master of Science degree in management from Georgia Tech in 1979. He worked from 1979-85 as an audit manager with the international public accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick in Atlanta with responsibility for financial statement audits of public and private companies with up to $1 billion in assets. Murphy has been active in the community since his return to Davidson. He is involved with Social Venture Partners - Charlotte, chairs the Board of Managers of the Lake Norman YMCA, the Board of Directors of the Charlotte Regional Sports Commission, served three years on the Board of the Charlotte Council for Children and three years on the Board of Directors of the Town of Davidson Youth Baseball League. Murphy is married to Dr. Susan Roberts, a political science professor at Davidson, and his 24-year-old son, Matt, is a graduate of the University of North Carolina and works in advertising in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Carol Quillen, who was previously the vice president for international and interdisciplinary initiatives at Rice University, became the 18th president of Davidson College on August 1, 2011. Quillen has had a long and distinguished career at Rice. She joined the faculty as an assistant professor of history in 1990, and she earned promotion to associate professor in 1996. From 2004 to 2008, she served as the first director of Rice's Boniuk Center for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance, leading development of the center's new mission and shaping an agenda that helped distinguish the center from other organizations. From 2006 to 2010, Quillen served as Rice's vice provost for academic affairs, focusing particularly on developing initiatives that cross academic schools, faculty diversity and faculty development, and resource development. During this time, she worked with faculty to develop and secure funding for a new Center for Asian Studies and a new Institute for Urban Research. She co-chaired the president's diversity task force, and instituted mentoring programs for junior faculty. As vice president for international and interdisciplinary initiatives, Quillen was responsible for developing and implementing Rice's overall global strategy, which includes research partnerships, recruiting strategies, curricular revision and international opportunities for students. She also facilitates implementation of university-wide initiatives, including the Institute for Urban Research, Rice 360 (a global health effort), and collaborations with Baylor and other institutions within the Texas Medical Center. James W. Crownover, chair of Rice University's Board of Trustees, said, "It's an honor for Rice that one of ours has been chosen to lead a place as respected as Davidson. She will work hard, and she will succeed there." Quillen grew up in New Castle, Del., a small town where she says "it was second nature to support the community and look out for other people." A Presbyterian, she attended Quaker schools from prekindergarten through high school. She earned a B.A. degree in American history from the University of Chicago, graduating Phi Beta Kappa with special and general honors, then received a Ph.D. degree in European history from Princeton. A humanist whose academic interests include early modern European history, European intellectual history and gender studies, Quillen has written two books on Petrarch, as well as a number of scholarly articles, reviews and papers. She has received a number of teaching awards during her tenure at Rice. Quillen's daughter, Caitlin, will be a first-year student at the University of North Carolina next fall. Quillen's husband, Ken Kennedy-a computer pioneer who founded the computer science program at Rice—died of pancreatic cancer in 2007. "His greatest gift to me, and to the Rice community, was in living the life he would have chosen," Quillen said. "That's something I think about in a very profound way every day." At Davidson, Quillen succeeds Tom Ross '72, who announced in August 2010 that he would step down to become president of the University of North Carolina system in January 2011.

THE HISTORY OF THE WILDCAT On November 10, 1917, a small cohort of 22 football players traveled to Atlanta to represent Davidson College against Auburn, one of the most formidable teams in the South. The Plainsmen had massacred their first four opponents, outscoring teams, 141-6. According to one account, they were “big, quick, and undefeated” and heavily favored in the day’s matchup. Davidson was 2-4 and started a line averaging 20 pounds less. Not surprisingly, Auburn dominated the game, outgaining the “Red and Black” 240 yards to Davidson’s 91 yards. Astoundingly, Davidson pulled together an offensive attack through the efforts of running back A.R. “Buck” Flowers and quarterback Henry Spann, delivering a “bewildering array of forward passes.” Davidson defeated one of the most powerful teams in

the South that day, 21-7, with scrappiness that captured the awe and respect of Atlanta sportswriters. They wrote of the “Wildcats” from Davidson College, whose small stature and ferocious style proved overwhelming. One account notes that Morgan Blake of the Atlanta Journal remarked of the Davidson team, “No other team ever put together in these United States of the same weight as Coach Fetzer’s team could ever get the verdict over the flock of wild men from North Carolina.” The Davidsonian picked up on the nickname, and it has been used ever since, replacing former, milder references such as “Red and Black,” “Presbyterians” and “Preachers.” — revised and rewritten from an account in the Davidson College archives
