ACADEMIC SERVICES The Elon University Athletic Department is proactive in ensuring the academic success of all student-athletes from their recruiting visit through graduation, including the integral components of academic support for athletics, academic enhancement program, communication with coaches, registration services, travel notices, recruiting visits, laptops and life skills.
Academic Enhancement Program (AEP)
All freshmen and select upperclassmen participate in the Academic Enhancement Program. All student-athletes in AEP meet with their assigned academic coordinator each week to discuss academic progress and concerns. In addition to weekly meetings, student-athletes in AEP are required to complete monitored study hours. To accommodate class and practice schedules, both daytime and nighttime options are available to complete monitored study hours.
Life Skills
In addition to the academic support provided by Elon Athletics, programs are also in place to promote and enhance the student-athlete experience. Programs and speakers address topics such as freshman transition issues, health and wellness, and career/graduate school preparation. The Student-Athlete Advisory Council is an organization for student-athletes, run by student-athletes, to provide an opportunity to serve the athletic, Elon and greater Burlington communities.
Academic Success

Student-athletes also meet with the academic coordinator for their sport to balance their academic schedule with athletic demands, such as in-season versus out-of-season scheduling.

THE LEGEND OF THE PHOENIX Throughout history there is told the legend of the rare and remarkable Phoenix, a crimson and gold bird that lived 500 years. It was sleek, swift and strong — the most marvelous bird ever created by human imagination. At the end of its life, with death approaching, it built a nest in an oak tree and was consumed in flames ignited by the sun. From the ashes emerged the next Phoenix — reborn and renewed, with strength forged in fire. Fire, too, has shaped the history of Elon University. The disastrous fire of 1923 all but destroyed Elon. Gone were Main Building, college records, classrooms, the library and the chapel. But within days of the fire, Elon trustees set in motion the plan for Elon to rise from the ashes, stronger than ever. The Phoenix is a powerful leader and an emblem of immortality. It is a perfect symbol for a school that is constantly renewing and recreating itself. The Elon motto, Numen Lumen, embraces intellectual and spiritual light. And so too, throughout history, the Phoenix has served as a symbol of light and knowledge. The Phoenix is timeless and unique. It perfectly describes an athletics program and an institution that are rising to new levels of excellence. There is only one Phoenix. There is only one Elon. Catch the Fire!

THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE The Southern Conference, which entered its 87th season of intercollegiate competition in 2007, has become known as one of the nation’s leaders in emphasizing the development of the studentathlete and defining the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Conference currently consists of 11 members in four states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Throughout its history, the Southern Conference has been an innovator in college athletics. The Southern Conference was the first “super conference” with its charter membership including the likes of Alabama, Auburn, and North Carolina. The SoCon, as it has come to be known by headline writers throughout the country, is the league that gave birth to the three-point shot in college basketball and was the college home of such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West and Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes-Scholarship winners have been selected from the conference. In baseball, Wake Forest advanced to the championship game of the NCAA College World Series in 1949. Demon Deacon second baseman Charles Teague was named the CWS Most Valuable Player. The Citadel made history in 1990 by becoming the first military school to make an appearance at the College World Series. The Bulldogs were joined that season at the CWS by current conference member Georgia Southern. One of the Southern Conference’s more famous baseball alums is Duke’s Dick Groat. The Blue Devil shortstop, who was also a basketball standout, was the conference’s Athlete of the Year in 1951 and 1952. He went on to a 14-year career in the major leagues. In 1960, he was named the National League MVP after he led the league in batting with a .325 average for the World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates. Among Southern Conference alums to grace Major League Baseball fields have been Atlee

Hammaker (East Tennessee State), Jeff Montgomery (Marshall) and Mike Ramsey (Appalachian State). Other SoCon players to go on to a career in the major leagues include Angels third baseman Dallas McPherson (The Citadel), pitchers Britt Reames (The Citadel) and Ryan Glynn (VMI) who both pitched with Oakland in 2005 and Furman’s Tom Mastny, a pitcher with the Cleveland Indians (2007). The Southern Conference has also been a breeding ground for some of college athletics’ most recognized coaches and administrators. Legendary basketball coaches Adolph Rupp of Kentucky and Everett Case of North Carolina State both worked the sidelines in the Southern Conference. Rupp guided the Wildcats to a 30-5 mark during the 1931 and 1932 seasons. Yet, for all his coaching accomplishments, Rupp never led Kentucky to a Southern Conference tournament championship. Case mentored the Wolfpack to six consecutive Southern Conference Tournament championships from 1947 through 1952. Lefty Driesell coached Davidson to three Southern Conference Tournament championships in 1966, 1968 and 1969. Driesell also won the league’s Coach of the Year award four straight times from 1963 through 1966. Former Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins earned league Coach of the Year honors three times in the late ’70s and early ’80s while at Appalachian State and is in his first season as head coach at the College of Charleston. Terry Holland saw his basketball coaching career take off at Davidson when he returned to his alma mater in 1970. Holland was honored as the Southern Conference Coach of the Year for three consecutive seasons from 1970-72 and led the Wildcats to the conference tournament title and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 1970. J. Dallas Shirley, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, spent 21 years as the assistant to the commissioner and supervisor of officials in the Southern Conference. He also served as president of the International Association Basketball Officials and the United States Olympic Basketball Committee. Even the legendary Paul “Bear” Bryant got his coaching start in the Southern Conference as he guided the Maryland Terrapins in 1945. A legendary Southern Conference football coach is the late Frank Howard of Clemson, who guided the Tigers as a league member from 1940-52. The incomparable Howard won 69 Southern Conference games which still ranks tied for fourth on the league’s all-time coaching victories list.

2008 PREVIEW Prior to the season, Coach Mike Kennedy sat down to answer the following questions: You lost five bats from your everyday line-up of a year ago. What do you do to replace the kind of production that those guys provided day in and day out? It’s tough to lose guys that have enjoyed the successes that the likes of Drew Davis, Chris Vasami, Adam Weaver and so on have had for our program. But it comes with the territory. We try hard to evaluate our club year in and year out and find players who can help our program maintain a high level of success. I have never liked the term “rebuild.” It’s an old cliche, but our plan is to reload. It doesn’t always happen, but that’s the plan. This version of the Phoenix features 11 true freshmen, two red-shirt freshmen and five sophomores. What are the advantages and disadvantages to having a core group of players this young? I think that what I’m enjoying the most with this young club is the fact that they are very attentive to our teaching and learning our system. I do not think there is a coach in the world who would not prefer to have experience, but sometimes those guys have heard it all. They’ve heard all my jokes, my motivational sayings. They have all the answers. With young guys, there is a renewed sense of enthusiasm and energy. These guys are in the mode of still trying to impress me everyday and that’s fun. Of the newcomers, who do you expect to make an immediate impact this season and what can we expect out of those guys? There will be several. Junior college transfers Cory Harrilchak, Mike Lobacz and Bennett Davis will be counted on heavily to ease the loss of five position player starters from a year ago. Transfer catcher Dallas Tarleton has been as steady a catcher as we have had here in a long time. With the schedule changes and the fact that we will play five games a week, it’s obvious that our young pitchers will have to step up and be good early in their careers. Jimmy Reyes, Kenny Ferrer and Tom Girdwood all have shown that they can handle this level of play and, with consistency, will be major contributors this spring. As far as freshmen position players are concerned, Neal Pritchard may be as far along as any we have had here in a long time. You return arguably the top pitcher in the Southern Conference in junior Steven Hensley. What do you see out of him this year and what role will he play with your younger members of the pitching staff? Steven needs to step up and be the ace of this staff. He will be the Friday night starter. He needs to handle that responsibility and go out and give us a chance to win against the SoCon’s best every Friday night. He has to set the tone for the weekend. He has developed nicely and is a tremendous worker. His work ethic cannot be questioned and the young guys see our best working harder than everyone else and they respond to that. You have plenty of key players returning this year. What can we expect out of guys like senior Donny Jobe and juniors Chris Dove and Pat Irvine as well as others? I think what we’ll see is some great leadership. These guys will lead because they are talented and have already had success at this level. What I believe makes them special is that they do not have to have three hits and three RBI to lead. They understand the game of baseball and the fact that there will be some failures along the way. But those failures will not show up in their preparation or how they go about playing the game.

2008 PREVIEW In your mind, what are the biggest strengths of this 2008 team? I think this club has a couple of areas that stick out. Defensively, we will be solid. I think our outfield play may be as good as anybody in the league. I like our team speed and think we will be able to find ways to score runs when we are not hitting a ton. With Hensley and veteran Jesse Lewter, I like our starting pitching. What is the biggest question mark for this squad? By far it will be our bullpen. The biggest question will whether or not can we finish games. To be a championship caliber team, you have to be able to close games. We will attempt to do that with some young, talented arms at the beginning of the season. How well our young guys handle this role will play a large part in the potential success of this year’s team. Most people know of the changes made to the season schedule this year. Could you tell us exactly what those changes were and what kind of impact you expect it to have on your club in 2008? The season was backed up three weeks to a uniform start date of Feb. 22. With that, official team practices could not begin until Feb. 1. The changes have condensed the season. Instead of playing four games a week, now we will play five. It was hard enough for the mid-major conferences to have enough pitching with four games so you can imagine how it will be with five. Add that to the fact that missing more class time becomes an issue and you see the problems. In order to keep our kids in class, we are forced to play closer to home, which means playing the likes of North Carolina, North Carolina State, Wake Forest, etc. on back-to-back days in the middle of the week. Speaking of the 2008 schedule, you’ve set up another daunting slate of games, including 16 games against teams that made the NCAA Regionals in 2007. What will your team have to do to continue the successes which it has had in previous seasons against stiff competition? With the five-game weeks, pitching will come to the forefront. I have always scheduled great teams, knowing that if we play well, we put ourselves in position to play in the post-season. This schedule is no different. Our mid-week schedule is brutally tough. If we can survive mid-week games, and our pitching holds up, we will be in the mix when regional bids are discussed. Changes continue around Elon and Latham Park is no exception. New seating and new batting cages are just the start of things to come as far as facilities go. What changes can fans expect to see this year and beyond and what will those changes mean for your program? In our business you have to keep up or you simply get left behind. Facilities are the one area you cannot afford to fall behind in. Our administration has provided us a chance to continue to bring in top-notch talent by upgrading our stadium. We have a great atmosphere and a great fan base and the upgrades to the stadium make our park more fan-friendly. The next step will be to replace the outfield wall and build a batter’s eye. These changes are paramount in our recruiting efforts.

ELON COACHING STAFF Winning baseball continues to be the tradition for Mike Kennedy and the Elon University Phoenix as the skipper begins his 12th season as head coach. His previous 11 Elon teams have collected 10 winning records and nine 30-victory campaigns all while consistently playing against many of the country’s finest programs. His 2006 squad set a new school record with 45 victories. With each victory tallied, Kennedy adds to his record for the most wins by an Elon baseball coach that he set in 2003. In his 11 seasons, Kennedy has guided the Phoenix to 351 victories. A year ago, the Phoenix finished third in the Southern Conference with a 15-12 league mark. By eclipsing the 30-win plateau last year with an overall record of 32-29, Kennedy’s teams have now posted at least 30 victories in each of their eight official NCAA Division I seasons. The 2007 campaign saw Elon pick up three victories over teams ranked in the top-25 – #11 Miami, #17 Clemson and #24 College TH of Charleston – giving the program 17 wins over top-25 competition since the start of the 1999 season. Elon set a new attendance mark during the 2007 season as well, drawing 1,811 fans to witness the Phoenix host the #1-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels. It was the second time during the season that Elon set a new attendance mark. Earlier in the year, 1,421 fans turned out to watch Elon take on top-ranked South Carolina at Latham Park, the first time that a #1-ranked team had ever visited Elon in any sport at the NCAA Division I level. The 2007 squad also featured two players which earned all-conference accolades. In 2006, Kennedy led his team to its first-ever Southern Conference regular season title with a 21-6 league record. The team also collected its second NCAA Division I Tournament berth in five seasons, participating in the Clemson Regional as the number two seed. In the regional’s opening game, the Phoenix knocked off third-seeded Mississippi State by a 5-4 margin for the first NCAA Division I Tournament victory in any sport at Elon. Kennedy also led his team to its first-ever NCAA Division I national ranking, as the Phoenix appeared at #25 in Baseball America’s poll on May 22. The 2006 squad also earned a win over a top-25 team, defeating #14 South Carolina. For his efforts, Kennedy was honored as the 2006 SoCon Coach of the Year while five Phoenix players earned all-conference recognition. Elon also boasted the 2006 SoCon Freshman of the Year in Steven Hensley. In 2005, the skipper paced his Phoenix to a 32-25 overall record and an 18-12 Southern Conference mark, good enough to tie for third place in the 11-team league. Two members of that squad earned AllSouthern Conference distinction. The 2005 Phoenix squad claimed wins over a pair of nationally-ranked opponents – #6 North Carolina and #22 Coastal Carolina (twice) – as well as SEC member Auburn. In 2004, Elon’s first year in the Southern Conference, Kennedy led his Phoenix to a 31-28 overall record and a 17-13 conference mark to finish fourth in the league. Four different players were honored with all-conference accolades. The 2003 campaign was one for the record books. On the heels of the university’s first-ever at-large bid to an NCAA Division I tournament in any sport, Kennedy, a 1991 Elon graduate, made his mark by putting his name at the top of the list of Elon’s all-time winningest coaches. With a 19-4 victory over Liberty, Kennedy set the record for most wins by an Elon baseball coach, claiming his 197th victory at the helm of the program. What makes that feat even more impressive is that it was accomplished while Elon completed the transition from the NCAA Division II ranks to its current NCAA Division I classification. With an overall record of 34-23-2 (12-7 in the Big South, tying for second place), Kennedy’s 2003 club matched its 34 wins from the previous season in which the Phoenix advanced to the Clemson Regional of the NCAA Tournament. For the fifth consecutive year, Kennedy guided his squad to a triumph over a nationally-ranked top-20 opponent. With victories over #7 Wake Forest, #14 Clemson and #22 North Carolina, the Phoenix defeated three top-25 teams for the second consecutive season. In Elon’s historic 100th season of baseball celebrated in 2002, Kennedy’s squad compiled a record of 34-23, including a 13-8 mark in the Big South ConELON’S ALL-TIME ference, good enough for second place in the league.

ELON COACHING STAFF With the 2002 team’s trip to the NCAA Regional, Kennedy has been a part of championship play at each level of Elon’s baseball success.

For his efforts, Kennedy was named South Atlantic Conference Coach of the Year. In the South Central Regional, Elon suffered an opening-round loss to Central Oklahoma, but rebounded to capture two-straight victories before battling within three outs of qualifying for the Division II College World Series, falling 7-5 to Central Oklahoma in the final. For the former Elon catcher, it was a fitting start to a coaching career at his alma mater. After serving the program as a volunteer and graduate assistant coach for four seasons, Kennedy was named to the head coach post on Sept. 12, 1996. In the nine seasons (1997, 2000-07) that Elon players have been eligible for postseason honors, Kennedy has coached 16 first team all-conference honorees, 20 second teamers, 16 conference all-tournament selections, seven all-region players, three all-region tournament picks, five all-state honorees, one league Freshman of the Year, one Freshman All-American and two academic All-Americans. He has worked with 22 players — 20 as head coach — who have gone on to play professional baseball. A native of Fayetteville, N.C., Kennedy was a two-time honorable mention All-American catcher for Elon from 1988-1990. He experienced 102 victories during his career, as Elon posted a .756 winning percentage his last two years. The career .311 hitter batted .321 with seven homers and 36 RBI during Elon’s 1990 NAIA District 26 championship season. He also collected 15 doubles that year and was named first team All-South Atlantic Conference, first team alldistrict and honorable mention All-American. He also earned all-conference, all-district, all-area and honorable mention All-American honors during the 1989 season, hitting .289 with 32 RBI as Elon finished 36-9. For his career, Kennedy appeared in 115 games, batting .311 with 26 doubles, 13 home runs and 78 RBI. Kennedy signed with the Oakland Athletics organization as a ninth-round selection in the 1990 amateur draft, making stops in Scottsdale, Ariz., Medford, Ore. and Modesto, Calif. Prior to becoming head coach, Kennedy spent four seasons as Elon’s pitching coach. The pitching staff finished among the country’s top-20 NCAA-II teams in ERA four years — sixth in 1993, third in 1994, 18th in 1996 and fifth in 1997. Active in his profession, Kennedy is a frequent speaker and clinician at various schools and camps throughout the region. He and his wife, Liz, make their home in Burlington and have a daughter, Blair, and a son, Ryan.

LATHAM PARK
Walter C. Latham Park, Elon’s baseball facility, was dedicated on Saturday, April 28, 2001, in honor of Walter C. Latham, an Elon alumnus. The dedication was followed by Elon’s doubleheader against Radford University. The Phoenix swept the two games that day by scores of 10-2 and 7-6. Latham (1909-2000) came to Elon in 1928 with a dream to accomplish what those before him had not. He wanted to play college ball and earn a college degree. Elon offered him that opportunity. He became the first-ever foursport letterman at Elon and a member of the Elon Sports Hall of Fame. Latham excelled in the KENNEDY ERA AT classroom as well. Twice he was forced to suspend his studies in order to help support his family LATHAM PARK in Bath, N.C. Each time he returned and, in 1934, he earned his degree. Walter was a coach and educator for nearly 50 years in North Carolina. Record The ceremonies began with a welcome from then-Elon Director of Athletics Alan J. White Year 1997 17-6 and included a plaque unveiling by the Latham family. Dr. Bryan Latham, Walter’s son who made 1998 13-7 Latham Park possible, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. 1999 13-15 The playing field is known as Newsome Field and was dedicated on April 29, 1978 in honor 20-10 of Wilburn E. “Webb” Newsome who played foot- 2000 2001 17-8 ball, baseball and boxed at Elon. Newsome was 2002 23-7 inducted into the Elon Hall of Fame in 1975. 2003 18-5-1 Featuring a plush bermuda grass surface, a 13-8 computerized sprinkler system, batting cages, a 2004 2005 20-6 modernized press box and major league-style dug2006 24-3 outs, Latham Park has quickly gained a reputation 2007 19-13 as being one of the finest small university baseball facilities in not only the Southern Conference, but Total 197-88-1 (.691) also the country. Measuring 317 feet down the leftfield line, 385 feet to centerfield and 328 feet down the rightfield line, the spacious confines of Latham Park have played host to some of the most memorable games and individual performances in the history of Elon baseball. In 2005, Latham Park was adorned with lights to allow the Phoenix to play night games on campus that the community could enjoy. The first game under the new lights was played on April 9, 2005 against eventual Southern Conference tournament champion Furman. Elon won that game by a 21-10 score. On April 29, 2006, Elon drew its first crowd of over 1,000 people to Latham Park. On that night, 1,051 fans were treated to a thrilling 7-6 victory by Elon over SoCon foe Georgia Southern. Last season, the Phoenix played in front of the largest crowd to ever witness a game at the facility. On May 8, 2007, 1,811 fans were on hand as Elon hosted then-#4 North Carolina. Earlier in the season, 1,421 fans flocked to Latham Park to watch as the Phoenix took on the nation’s top-ranked team at the time – South Carolina. The Phoenix also set a new standard for average home attendance as an average of 401 fans watched Elon at Latham Park in 2007.
