DISTANCE RUNNING COURSES F
ew other colleges in the country have so many distance running training options as well as a home cross country course right on campus so readily accessible for training and competition. This represents a huge advantage for the Panther runners. POND PAVILION ... where the teams meet each day during the crosscountry season. FOX RIDGE STATE PARK ... located just six miles south of EIU, it is a great place to run and has 10+ miles of trails. During the hot months, the cool, wooded trails of Fox Ridge are where Panther runners go to beat the heat. THE RAIL TRAIL ... is a favorite training site for EIU distance runners. Flat, measured and soft, the trail extends from Charleston to Mattoon. Panther runners primarily use the rail trail for long runs and tempo runs. CHARLESTON AREA ... the country roads surrounding Charleston are excellent for distance training. The area surrounding Charleston is surprisingly hilly and training on the quiet country roads makes for one of the best running environments in Illinois. In fact, the City of Charleston has erected signs to warn motorists to be on the look-out for EIU distance runners. THE PANTHER TRAIL ... the Panthers’ home cross-country course, located on campus just south of the various EIU athlete facilities, is an excellent place to train. The Panther Trail has been the host course of the numerous Ohio Valley Conference championships, as well as the annual EIU Invitational each fall. The course has both a grass and a stone-chip path.

OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE Now in its 65th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. In May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which begins competition in the 201213 academic year. The addition of Belmont gives the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, 2009. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles “Turkey” Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the late 1970s, women’s athletics began somewhat of a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing women’s sports. Recognizing the need to provide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC established women’s championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and volleyball added over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), but the overall strength of women’s programs in the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982. Over its 64 years, OVC teams have garnered national championships and bowl games in football, along with national team or individual titles in the sports of rifle, cross country, track and golf.
The OVC has also produced several Olympic athletes, including Murray State’s Morgan Hicks, who was a member of the 2004 United States Olympic Rifle Team and Morehead State’s Brian Shimer who competed in five Winter Olympics in bobsled (winning a bronze medal in 2002) and coached the 2010 United States bobsled team to its first gold medal since 1948. In addition, some of the greatest players in professional sports were educated at OVC institutions. The list includes former greats such as football’s Phil Simms (Morehead State), basketball’s Clem Haskins (Western Kentucky) and Bubba Wells (Austin Peay) and twosport star Steve Hamilton (Morehead State) to present-day standouts like basketball player Trenton Hassell (Austin Peay), football player Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois) and baseball players George Sherrill (Austin Peay) and Jon Rauch (Morehead State). Hamilton is the only athlete to ever play in the NCAA Basketball Championship, a Major League Baseball World Series (New York Yankees) and a NBA Championship Series (Los Angeles Lakers). The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Belmont University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

EASTERN ILLINOIS RETIRES JERSEY IN HONOR OF JOHN CRAFT
Eastern Illinois athletics honored one of its all time great track and field athletes on January 22, 2011 as they retired a jersey in honor of former Olympic triple jumper John Craft. The annual Mega Meet will also be renamed in honor of Craft starting with 2012 running of the event. Craft becomes the seventh former Eastern Illinois athlete to have their jersey retired. He was a triple jumper at EIU from 1965-69 and still holds the school mark for the outdoor triple jump at 53’9”. As a senior in 1969, Craft won three of four National Championships as he won the NAIA, NCAA College Division and AAU titles while placing third in the NCAA University Division Championships to become EIU’s first University Division All-American. Craft would go on to win five AAU outdoor triple jump championships (1969, 1971-74) and four indoor AAU triple jump championships (1971-74) as he ranked among the world’s elite athletes. In 1972 he set both the indoor and outdoor American triple jump records. His jump of 56’2” at the USA Olympic Trials earned him a spot at the 1972 Munich Olympics with his record setting mark. He set the indoor mark of 55’5” winning the first annual USA-Soviet Union Dual Meet. Craft would compete as a member of the US Olympic Team at the 1972 Munich Games placing fifth in the triple jump with a distance of 55’2.75”. He was inducted into the NAIA Helms Hall of Fame in 1974 and the USTFCCCA Division II Track & Field Hall of Fame in 2003. In 1982 Craft was a charter member of the EIU Athletic Hall of Fame. Following his competitive career Craft worked as long time coach at Eastern Illinois serving as the women’s track and field coach until 2002. 46-TIME OVC INDOOR & OUTDOOR TRACK/CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONS

In year two she secured funding and installed a video scoreboard at O’Brien Field, updated locker rooms for several sports teams and added new fencing on the baseball, soccer and softball fields. In February 2010 Burke unveiled the Panthers Blueprint for Success as a campaign for athletic facility enhancement. As part of that campaign the Panthers have renovated the Lantz Arena Lobby to create the Baker/ Warmouth Hall of Champions and added a new outdoor track and football playing surface for the 2012 season. The Bob Spoo campaign kicked off in the fall of 2011 and those funds will assist in the renovation of the O’Brien Athletic Training Facility and the strength training facility. In her tenure at EIU Burke has helped oversee growth in the Panther Club both in actual funds raised and membership as the department completed a successful 2,010 members in 2010 campaign and continues to grow its membership on an annual basis.
