HEAD COACH JOHN GOODRIDGE HEAD COACH

JOHN GOODRIDGE

18th Year at EMU - Long Island, ‘72; Michigan, ‘74

The 2018-19 season marks the 18th season for John Goodridge as a member of the track & field and cross country staffs at Eastern Michigan University. The veteran coach has enjoyed an outstanding coaching career, leading EMU to Mid-American Conference championships in 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015, and most recently coaching the Eagles to the triple crown (MAC Championships in Indoor and Outdoor Track, along with Cross Country) in 2018. Goodridge has also coached conference cross country championship teams in the MAC, Big Ten, and Atlantic Coast Conferences. Since arriving at Eastern Michigan in 2001, Goodridge has coached 22 track & field All-Americans including two NCAA National Track and Field Champions (Boaz Cheboiywo in the 10,000 meters and Jordan Desilets in the 3,000-meter steeplechase) as well as numerous individual MAC Track and Field/Cross Country Champions. In his 18 years at Eastern Michigan, he has been a significant part of the coaching staffs that led the Eagles to three triple crown seasons (2001-02, 2006-07, and 2017-18). During his

tenure, 16 EMU school records have been set, including the EMU 4x100m relay team record, the first Eagles team to dip below the 40-second barrier when Cameron Bolton, Tyler Brown, Jeff Elam, and Chris Scott set the new varsity record of 39.98 at the Drake Relays. Five EMU tracksters have broken the magical sub-4:00 mile mark of which Goodridge has coached three (Cheboiywo, Desilets and Gavin Thompson) along with Paul McMullen and Ben Reese coached by EMU Athletic Hall of Famer Coach Bob Parks. Prior to his arrival at EMU, Goodridge was the head track and field coach at Wake Forest University for 15 years (1984-1999), where he coached the Demon Deacons to

unparalleled success in the school’s history. Goodridge coached Wake Forest to its highest ever Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) finishes in cross country (first) and track & field (second) and its highest ever national finishes in cross country (third) and track & field (eighth). At Wake Forest, he coached 14 individual ACC Champions and seven AllAmericans. He coached Wake Forest to its first ever ACC cross country championship, first-ever individual champion, first All-Americans in track and field and cross country, first team NCAA cross country appearance and highest ever finish in school history (third). His Wake Forest cross country teams finished first or second in the ACC for 10 consecutive years, winning four titles and making seven NCAA

He has also coached three EMU athletes (Cheboiywo, Karanja, Thompson) who have represented Canada, Kenya, and Great Britain in international competition including the World Championships, Commonwealth Games, European Championships and Francophone Games.

EMU TRACK & FIELD COACHING STAFF ASSISTANT COACH STERLING ROBERTS The 2018-19 season marks the seventh season for former Eagle Sterling Roberts as an assistant coach with the Eastern Michigan University men’s track and field team. He coaches sprints, hurdles, horizontal jumps, and high jump. Since his start at EMU, the Eagles’ track and field team has won five MAC team championships and 34 individual MAC championships. Roberts had a standout year during the 2013-14 campaign, as he was named the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Assistant Coach of the Year. Under his tutelage, Tyler Brown had an outstanding freshman campaign after being crowned MAC Champion in the 400m during both the indoor and outdoor seasons as well as running on the winning indoor 4x400m and outdoor 4x100m and 4x400m relays. Brown was later named the MVP for the MAC Outdoor Championships. The 4x100m relay team of Brown, Cameron Bolton, Jeff Elam, and Chris Scott broke the EMU record at the Drake Relays, April 26, with a time of 39.98 seconds, marking the first time an Eagle lineup had ever crossed the 40-second barrier. The 4x400m team of Bolton, Brown, Elam, and Mason Waynes turned in the secondfastest time in EMU history at the NCAA East Regional and went on to take 13th at the NCAA Championships with all four athletes garnering Second Team All-America honors. Roberts continued to train Brown as he went to compete in the USA Junior National Championships, in which he took home gold in the 400m with a lifetime-best time of 45.74 seconds. Brown represented the USA at the 2014 Junior World Championships, taking eighth in the 400m while the 4x400m relay team took home the gold medal. “I’ve known Sterling since he was an athlete at EMU and was impressed with his competitiveness in training and competition. I admire his efforts to develop professionally as he has been successful as a head high school coach, Division III assistant coach and most recently as a Division I assistant coach at the University of Illinois,” commented EMU Head Track and Field Coach John Goodridge of Roberts. Roberts graduated from Eastern Michigan University in 2003 where he was a four-year varsity track student-athlete. He competed as a sprinter and hurdler who specialized in the 400-meter hurdles. Roberts was a two-time All-MAC award winner, while he also was a member of the 4x400-meter relay team that won a MAC Championship in 2002. He later earned his master’s degree from Defiance in 2011. Most recently, Roberts worked as a volunteer assistant coach for the University of Illinois where he assisted with the development and modification of the training program for male sprinters, hurdlers, and jumpers. He coached four different NCAA Preliminary Qualifiers. Prior to his year at Illinois, Roberts was an assistant coach at Defiance College from 2009-11. While at Defiance, he was charged with recruitment of male/female jumpers, hurdlers, and sprinters, including assisting in establishing a database for coordinating recruiting among all coaches. He also coached an NCAA Division III national qualifier in the pole vault, high jump, and decathlon. Roberts also has coached at the high school level as he was the head coach of the Wakefield High School track and field programs in Raleigh, N.C. While at Wakefield, he coached five high school All-Americans including the Nike Indoor National 200m champion.

ASSISTANT COACH BRIAN KORN The 2018-19 season marks Korn’s second season coaching with EMU’s men’s track & field program. In his first season with the Green and White, Korn was an intricate part of both the indoor and outdoor squads that secured Mid-American Conference championships in their 2018 campaigns. Korn brings five years of collegiate coaching experience to EMU. Most recently, he held the assistant track and field coach position at Jacksonville State University, where he assisted in all facets of the program since starting the role in 2014. Prior to JSU, Korn served as the strength coach for Southwest Baptist University’s track and field program. While at SBU, he assisted in running the weight room as well as designing workouts and practices for the program. Prior to obtaining a full time position at Southwest Baptist, Korn acted as a Graduate Assistant during the indoor season at William Woods University. Along with several years of collegiate coaching experience, Korn also holds a certificate for coaching USATF level one as well as weightlifting and sports performance. Before taking on a coaching position, Korn was a track & field student-athlete at Baker University, where he was an NAIA AllAmerican in the hammer throw while setting both school and conference records in the hammer, weight throw, and shot put. Korn earned a bachelor’s degree in human performance in 2011.

2018-19 TRACK & FIELD SEASON OUTLOOK Sprints

The Green and White will lean on senior Tyler Underwood and sophomore Owen Richardson to lead a talented sprints squad to a successful season. Underwood, a 2018 First Team All-MAC honoree, closed out his junior season with a strong MAC Indoor Championship performance, running a leg in the first-place 4x400 relay team, while also placing fourth in the 400m with a time of 48.77. Richardson, a fellow First Team All-MAC honoree, earned the bronze medal in the 400m and a fifth-place finish at the 2018 MAC Championships, while running a leg in the first-place 4x400 relay team. Joining the seniors to steer the sprints group are juniors Terrell Posada, Joshuwa Holloman, and Sean Beckom II. Rounding out the sprints force are sophomore Treston White, as well as freshman Charlie Young.

Mid-Distance

EMU will have redshirt senior Melika Ghali, juniors Roderic Wilson and Dan Kuhn, and sophomore White each running in the middle-distance events. Ghali, a graduate transfer from Boise State University, looks to make an immediate impact in his lone season in the Green and White, ready to add his speed to the Eagles’ middle-distance runners. The Toronto, Canada native joins EMU after posting career-bests of 3:50.61 in the 500m and 14:37.88 in the 5000m at Boise State.

Distance

Coming off the Eagles’ success of last year, Owen Day will be joined by a plethora of talent to continue EMU’s tradition of excellence in distance events. The loss of last year’s Co-MVP Nick Raymond will be felt, but the Eagles bring in strong reinforcements in redshirt sophomore Austin Wicker, redshirt freshman Phoenix Myers, and freshman Baldvin Magnusson. Additionally, sophomores S olomon Costa, Derek Jones, and redshirt freshman Ian Cook all return with experience to add depth for the Green and White. In addition to Magnusson, the Eagles added nine freshmen

distance runners to the squad, including Ronald Brandal, Luke Brown, Chris Devaney, Joseph Ingram, Andy Payne, Noah Perrin, Kalani Sheridan, Craig Thompson, and Eddie Zuercher.

Hurdles

Seniors Elijah Barber and Frank Douglas accompany juniors Devonte Findlay and Ivan Suazo to lead the hurdles group. All three of the Eagles enter the 2018-19 season after strong 201718 campaigns, as Findlay took second in the 60H with a time of 8.01 at the indoor conference championships, while Douglas and Suazo finished right behind the Lauderhill, Fla. native, placing four th and fifth, respectively. Barber set career-best times in both the 400m and 600m sprints during the indoor season, in addition to claiming fifth in the 400H at the 2018 MAC Outdoor Championship. Freshmen Alec Frymier, Payne Wylie, and Kendaruis Coward will add depth to the Eagles already strong hurdles prospects for the upcoming campaign.

Jumps

The senior triad of Cameron Hart, Nick Herbert, and Micah Peters will lead Eastern Michigan’s line alongside junior Baboucar Sallah-Mohammad. Hart’s 2017-18 season included competing in seven meets, earning five top-three finishes, while Herbert saw action in five meets for the Eagles while capturing bronze in the triple jump at the MAC Indoor Championships. Peters’ successes in his junior campaign included a fourth-place finish in the triple jump at the league’s championship, as well as top-three finishes at both the Hillsdale “Wide-Track” Classic and the SVSU “Doug Hansen” Open. The trio will gain freshman Teck Kirkpatrick in their quest for a 16th MAC indoor championship.

Pole Vault

Junior Colin Etchen stands in command of the pole vault group as the primary Eagle performing in the event. The Edgerton, Ohio native competed in seven meets for the Eagles with five topthree finishes, while finishing sixth in the pole vault at the MAC Indoor Championships, earning a NCAA preliminary qualifying bid. Additionally, the then-sophomore set his career-best height at the 2018 Wolverine Invitational with a vault of 5.10m.

2018-19 Track & Field team Season Outlook Etchen will be aided by the efforts of Alex Jacobs, who last year earned a third-place finish in pole vault at the SVSU “Doug Hansen” Open and a fourth-place finish in the same event at the SVSU “Jet’s Pizza” Invitational.

Throws

Led by a foursome of senior throwers, the Eagles look to build on last year’s throwing efforts with veteran leadership and experience on their side. Redshirt senior Zach Purcilly and seniors Zach Harkey, Derek Ziegenfuss, and Mike Hierholzer are the seniors leading the throws squad, each with experience in the indoor events. Purcilly comes off a season where he marked his personal-best record in the shotput, clearing 17.29m, while placing sixth at the MAC Championships with a throw of 16.26m. Ziegenfuss did not compete last indoor season, but had a prolific outdoor season, as he qualified to the NCAA East Regionals in the javelin throw, after winning bronze in the event at the MAC Outdoor Championships. The seniors will be joined by sophomore Newlyn Stephenson, who competed in seven meets for the Eagles in the 2017-18 season, including the 2018 MAC Indoor Championships, placing ninth in the weight throw. The quad will add two newcomers to complement their accomplished group in freshmen Travis Burton and Dominic Valdes. Senior Ziegenfuss will be joined by freshman Garett Wade to complete EMU’s javelin dyad.

Multis

Jacobs and sophomore Skyler Lester represent the returners to the Eagles’ multis group. Jacobs looks to cap off his Eastern career after appearing in four meets for EMU in the 2017-18 season, earning top-four finishes in two meets. Lester comes into the season after a terrific freshman campaign, where he placed 10th in the high jump in his first MAC Championship appearance while marking his personal-record in the high jump, clearing a height of 2.05m for a second-place finish at the Michigan Silverston Invitational.

The Mid-American Conference THIS IS THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE Providing leadership in education and diversity, in 2018 the Mid-American Conference moves into its 73rd year of service to our students. Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conference’s in the country. One of only 10 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in March of 2009. The league hosts championships in 23 sports, including neutral site events at some of the finest facilities in the nation – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basketball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (Sprenger Stadium, Avon, Ohio). The MAC secured a two-year contract extension with Ford Field to host the MAC Football Championship Game through the 2021 football season, anchored a six-year contract extension for the MAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments at Quicken Loans Arena through the 2023 season, and stabilized a five-year contract extension through the 2020 season for the MAC Baseball Tournament at Sprenger Stadium in Avon, Ohio. In addition to growing its commitment to MAC championships, Steinbrecher has been aggressive in pursuing NCAA Championship events. The MAC served as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland as well as the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, which set NCAA Wrestling three-day Championship total attendance and singlesession attendance records. The MAC will also be hosting the 2020 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament First and Second Rounds, also at Quicken Loans Arena. The MAC has previously hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships and will also host the 2019 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships under Steinbrecher’s direction. In the summer of 2014, the MAC and ESPN announced a historic 13-year rights extension deal through the 2026-27 season for expanded national television and digital distribution. This is the largest and most extensive agreement in the history of the Conference and brings long-term security for the MAC through the 2026-27 academic year. ESPN has exclusive television and digital distribution rights for all MAC sporting events, and guarantees coverage of every football game, men’s and women’s basketball games and select Olympic sporting events. The MAC and ESPN have established on-campus production capabilities that provide a significant increase in the national coverage of baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, wrestling and Olympic sports on ESPN platforms. This has opened up nearly 92 million households from ESPN platforms for exposure to MAC sports for the first time in Conference history. Through this ESPN partnership, the MAC and CBS Sports Network announced another four-year sublicensing agreement to expand its national coverage of football and basketball through the 2022-23 season. For the second time in Mid-American Conference history a member institution played in one of the prestigious New Year’s Six Bowl Games, as 2016 MAC Champion Western Michigan faced Wisconsin in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Jan. 2, 2017 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. During the 2017 season, the MAC witnessed five members accept bowl invitations. The MAC single-season record for bowl invitations is seven which occurred in both the 2012 and 2016 bowl seasons. This also marks the 10th time in MAC history to have five or more programs receive a bowl invitation (2004, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017) in a single-season. In the previous seven bowl seasons, the MAC has a record of 12-28 in 40 bowl games – 2017 (1-4); 2016 (0-6); 2015 (3-4); 2014 (2-3); 2013 (0-5); 2012 (2-5); 2011 (4-1). In December of 2013, former Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch finished third overall in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest ever finish by a MAC student. Lynch was invited to the Heisman Trophy Award ceremony in New York City and became only the third MAC student-athlete to receive an invitation to the ceremony – Marshall QB Chad Pennington (1999) and Marshall WR Randy Moss (1997). During the 2017 NFL Draft, Western Michigan wide receiver Corey Davis was the fifth overall selection by the Tennessee Titans. Davis’ selection was the highest ever for the Broncos program and tied the second-highest ever draft selection by a student from the MAC. It also marked the third MAC football student selected in the top five of the NFL draft over the last six seasons. In the 2014 NFL Draft, Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall selection by the Oakland Raiders. Mack’s selection was the highest-ever for the Buffalo program and the second highest ever selection for a MAC student. In the 2013 NFL Draft, Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, making Fisher the first-ever football player from the MAC selected first overall in the NFL Draft. In 2012, the MAC witnessed a record-setting seven teams receive bowl invitations, including the first ever BCS Bowl invitation with Northern Illinois playing in the Discover Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 2013.

The MAC also set a conference record for the most wins against FBS opponents with 16 victories. In the fall of 2013, the MAC announced the creation of newly created bowl games in Boca Raton, Fla., Nassau, Bahamas, and Montgomery, Ala. for a six-year period (2014-2019). The creation of the Boca Raton and Bahamas Bowls were the centerpiece of a joint agreement between several FBS conferences and will be supported by several FBS conferences on a six-year rotating basis. The Cheribundi Tart Cherry Boca Raton Bowl is owned and operated by ESPN and is played at FAU Stadium, an open-air stadium which seats nearly 30,000 fans on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. The Bahamas Bowl is played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium. The Raycom Camellia Bowl, based in Montgomery, Ala., is owned and operated by ESPN and is played at the Cramton Bowl, a 25,000-seat stadium. Each football season the MAC has a minimum five guaranteed bowl opportunities.

In 2017, the MAC witnessed former Akron Zips defensive lineman Jason Taylor inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of the 2017 Hall of Fame Class. Taylor, who spent 13 of his 15 seasons in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on August 5, 2017 in Canton, Ohio. Taylor is the first Zips player elected to the Hall of Fame and was a third-round pick out of Akron in the 1997 NFL draft.

A sixtime Pro Bowl selection and threetime AP All-Pro first-team choice, Taylor was named the 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and was selected as the Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2007. Joining the list of MAC alum heading to Canton, former Marshall wide receiver Randy Moss will increase this number to three, as Moss will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of the 2018 Hall of Fame Class. Moss, who was named MAC Offensive Player of the Year in 1997, posted 78 catches for 1,709 yards and 28 touchdowns with Marshall in 1996 and added 96 receptions for 1,820 yards and 26 touchdowns in 1997.

Moss spent 14 seasons in the NFL with Minnesota, Oakland, New England, Tennessee and San Francisco and amassed 982 career receptions for 15,292 yards and 156 touchdowns and was selected to five Pro Bowls. Moss becomes the third former MAC football standout to be selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Moss was a member of the Marshall Thundering Herd, who competed in the MAC before departing after the 2004 season.

EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY

Welch Hall and Ypsilanti Water Tower

Eastern Michigan University Where We’re Located

Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, about 10 miles east of Ann Arbor, 40 miles west of Detroit and just 20 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. It is an area rich in academic, research, technological and recreational resources. The University also has sites in Livonia, Jackson, Traverse City, Flint, Detroit and Monroe. EMU’s 800 plus-acre campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jogging trails and has 122 buildings throughout the academic and athletic campuses. Eagle Crest – Eastern Michigan’s conference center, golf course, and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake. Ypsilanti plays a leading role in industry and education. The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted more than 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique

In 1849, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclusive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States. Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a University, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world. The university currently serves 22,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Education; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses, a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners, and several Michigan Teachers of the Year. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to applied education.

Our Students

With nearly 22,000 students, EMU provides a rich learning environment for the campus community. The University currently has approximately 18,000 undergraduates and 4,000 graduate students. Our students represent 49 states and 93 foreign countries. Of undergraduate students, 72 percent are fulltime and 59 percent are women. The most popular majors are education, business, social sciences and history, science and engineering, English, and the health professions. EMU’s undergraduate population is approximately 66 percent white; 18 percent black; 3 percent international; 3 percent Asian-American; 4 percent Hispanic, 0.2 percent Native-American, and 6 percent not answered (i.e. elected not to respond to this inquiry). Eastern Michigan offers a number of special academic programs to help students succeed. These include the Honors College; the Holman Success Center; distance learning; accelerated format programs; online, weekend and evening programs and courses; American Humanics certification; Study Abroad Tours; a specialized master’s degree program for corporations offered onsite; a double master’s degree; online technologies for education and training. With more than 200 academic and social organizations, an extensive intramural sports program, 21 NCAA Division I-A sports and numerous cultural activities from which to choose, EMU students have diverse opportunities to become involved in campus life. Students’ on-campus housing choices range from traditional dormitorystyle rooms to apartments and include living/ learning center options.

Faculty/Staff

Eastern Michigan University employs nearly 700 full-time faculty and 1,000 staff members. Ninetyfour percent of EMU professors have doctoral degrees or terminal degrees in their field. The student to faculty ratio is 17:1. Faculty work closely with students, and many involve students in their research. Recently, the University celebrated its 30th annual Undergraduate Symposium; a benchmark program for undergraduate research.

Community Outreach

EMU’s Economic Impact

Since its founding in 1849, Eastern Michigan has provided quality services to the residents of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, the State of Michigan and other states and nations. EMU’s total impact on the Michigan economy of an estimated $3.7 billion annually reflects a return of more than $42 for each dollar received from the state. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $166 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.87 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

Eastern Michigan is making an impact nationally by channeling its academic research as a means of solving real world problems. EMU currently has 14 research institutes and centers that focus on community building and civic engagement, quality, community and regional development, small business development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development. EMU is well-known for merging theory and practice for the benefit of the community. Applied research leads to new knowledge, new jobs and new business. Annually, the university receives about $15 million in revenues for sponsored research and community service activities.

The Alumni Association

Representing more than 160,000 alumni and friends, the Alumni Association sponsors social and service-related programs for more than 20 geographically-based and special-interest alumni chapters.

Our History

1900: Student athletes unofficially adopt the nickname Normalites. Athletes could wear either a “Y” for Ypsilanti or an “N” for Normal.

Founded in 1849, when the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course. The school’s name changed several times – to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status. Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times, adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975, and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently ,Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs and numerous community-focused institutes. The university has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Education Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Village residence hall (2001), University House (2003), new Student Center (2006), and the new Science Complex (2010).

Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a FrenchCanadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate community a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually merged. Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 workers.

Board of Regents The Board of Regents is the governing body of Eastern Michigan University. Its current format was created when the State of Michigan ratified a new constitution Jan. 6, 1964. The Board comprises eight regents who are appointed to eight-year terms by the governor. “Other institutions of higher education established by law having authority to grant baccalaureate degrees shall each be governed by a board of control which shall be a body corporate. The board shall have general supervision of the institution and the control and direction of all expenditures from the institution’s funds. It shall, as often as necessary, elect a president of the institution under its supervision. He shall be the principal executive officer of the institution and be ex-officio a member of the board without the right to vote. The board may elect one of its members or may designate the president to preside at board meetings. Each board of control shall consist of eight members who shall hold office for terms of eight years, not more than two of which shall expire in the same year, and who shall be appointed by the governor by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Vacancies shall be filled in like manner.” -- Michigan Constitution of 1963 (ratified 1964), Article 8

The Eastern Michigan University Office of Athletics Compliance is committed to a comprehensive compliance program that ensures institutional control over the department of athletics. Our goal is to educate student-athletes, prospective student-athletes, institutional employees, community members, and boosters about the importance of adhering to NCAA, Mid-American Conference, and institutional rules. A successful athletic department depends on the willingness of coaches, administrators, staff, student-athletes, and boosters to be aware of NCAA, MAC, and institutional rules. All of us at Eastern Michigan University appreciate your support. Your commitment to rules compliance is necessary to ensure that the University, its student-athletes, and coaches remain in good standing.  Our success is due to support from individuals who are cautious and knowledgeable of NCAA rules.

1. FANS HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES As an individual who is a season ticket holder, a member of an Eastern Michigan University booster organization (e.g., Eagles Pride, E-Gridiron Group), has made financial contributions to EMU, or been involved in promoting EMU’s athletic program, you are considered a “Booster” and are required to adhere to an atmosphere of compliance. As a booster, your conduct reflects on the integrity of the entire university. Once you support EMU Athletics, you retain that identity as a booster forever - the rules still apply! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with, EMU’s athletics program. 2. DON’T GIVE BENEFITS OR INDUCEMENTS   Student-athletes can only receive benefits that other students in the general population can receive. An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an EMU employee or booster to provide a current or prospective studentathlete (or the athlete’s relatives or friends) a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to:

Even though there are many rules prohibiting your involvement with prospects and the recruiting process, as a booster you are permitted to do the following: • Notify EMU coaching staff about noteworthy prospects in your area; • Attend a prospect’s athletics event on your own initiative, as long as you do not have contact with the prospect (or the prospect’s parents or coach); • Continue existing friendships, provided you do not solicit the prospect’s enrollment.

The EMU Identity NOT ALWAYS THE EAGLES Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname“Eagles.” The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one. EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites” and “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles down through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the result of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929. On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee, composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest. The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner. Hanner was working at the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe. The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers. EMU began investigating the appropriateness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them. The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Indian logos or names. The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets and Express. GREEN, WHITE AND YELLOW? The EMU Eagles’ colors are green and white, but the track and cross country teams both feature yellow on their uniforms. There is a reason these teams stand out, and the history behind it goes back to 1967. EMU Hall of Fame Head Coach Bob Parks offered some insight to the story behind how the yellow came about. “When I got to EMU in January 1967, the team was wearing dark green singlets and dark green shorts. In that season, we ran a meet at Western Michigan University, and the finish line was beneath the balcony which was very dark. In the hurdle final, there were six men, three from Michigan State and three from EMU. MSU’s uniforms were almost identical to ours. When the finish positions were announced, we got the short end of the stick. You could hardly see the runners under the dark balcony area, and they got the finish wrong. At that point, I decided to get uniforms that showed up better. “Back then, Kansas was a big name in collegiate track, and they wore pink shorts and powder blue singlets with pink lettering. Everyone thought they were great. I decided to copy them and ordered orange shorts and green singlets with white lettering trimmed in orange. We wore them for about four years, but the Regents decided that all of our teams should be wearing green and white. When they made us get rid of the orange and green, I ordered green and gold, colors I had always liked. At first, they weren’t going to let us use them, but I pointed out that our football team was wearing green and gold. Our administration could hardly argue with me, since our gridders were wearing it too. “ “We have worn it ever since, and it is known from coast to coast, as our men have done traditionally well nationally. It also differentiates us from MSU and Ohio University’s color schemes. The green and gold does show up well at the finish line, but nowadays they use computer cameras, so it is less of a problem as it was in the 60s and 70s.” EMU OLYMPIANS THROUGH THE YEARS EMU has had a track representative at the summer Olympic Games since Hayes Jones in 1960. The Eagles have had 18 representatives in 56 years, 15 men and three women.
