2015 EMBRY-RIDDLE CROSS COUNTRY OUTLOOK

EMBRY-RIDDLE MEN Last November, the Embry-Riddle men’s cross country team dominated The Sun Conference Championships, winning the event for the 10th straight season. In 2015 and 2016, as a provisional member of NCAA II, the Eagles will not be able to compete for a postseason title.

With that in mind, Head Coach Mike Rosolino has set his sights a little bit further into the future than usual, viewing the next two years as building blocks towards a potential Sunshine State Conference Championship in 2017.

“I think this year is sort of a rebuilding year for the men,” Rosolino said. “We’re young and we’re going to utilize some redshirts, which means we’re only going to return three of our top eight runners from a year ago. If we’re going to have a solid season, we’re going to need some of our freshmen to step up in a big way right away. More importantly, I really like the potential that this group has for the future as we look to build towards our first year of full eligibility in 2017.”

When factoring in the redshirts that will be used on Matt Graves, Adam Lawrence and Paul McKenna, the Eagles will have seven returners from a year ago. Along with those seven returners will be six newcomers, including five freshmen.

Sophomore Andrew Carpenter will likely be the top runner for the Blue and Gold this season.

Carpenter was named the Newcomer of the Year in The Sun Conference last season after finishing ninth overall at the conference meet with a time of 26:39.94. He ran a personal best 25:20.31 at the Charles Bowles Invitational on Oct. 4, a time that placed him as the 11th-fastest runner in school history.

Noah Kemp, a sophomore transfer from NCAA I Portland, is expected to be one of the top runners for ERAU in 2015. At Portland last year, Kemp posted his best 8K time of 26:13.

He is a native of St. Augustine, Fla. where he set three school records at St. Augustine High School.

Seniors Jamin Mays, Ryan Larson and Palmer Lintz will be competing to be among the topfive finishers for ERAU throughout the season.

Last year, Mays placed third overall at the ERAU Asics Classic (Sept. 27) and Larson was the second Eagle finisher at the FSU Invitational (Oct. 10), while Lintz was the fifth Embry-Riddle harrier to cross the line at the FSU Invitational.

Junior Andrew Carosi and sophomores James Fell and DeVontae Persha will look to increase their impact on the team scores in 2015.

Carosi ran a 27:38.65 at the Sand Shark Invitational (Oct. 25) for his season-best time, while Fell posted a personal best 27:05.53 at the same meet. Persha posted a season-best 29:55.41 at the FSU Invitational.

The incoming freshmen class includes Robert Davis, John Dennehy, Samuel Dick, Will Rice and Calahan Warren.

EMBRY-RIDDLE WOMEN Much like the men’s team, the Embry-Riddle women’s cross country team will be looking to build off of the momentum from a successful run at the NAIA level while they prepare for the opportunity to compete for a championship at the NCAA II level in a couple of years. Last year’s team placed second at The Sun Conference Championships, and while the postseason isn’t available to them in 2015, Rosolino believes this squad has the potential to be one of the best ever.

Alex Orr

“Looking at our women’s team, we’re very young,” Rosolino stated. “We don’t have a single senior, we’ve got five freshmen and a bunch of sophomores. But the potential that this group has collectively is probably one of, if not the best we’ve had in this program. The sky is the limit for them and I can’t wait to see what they can do at a national level in NCAA II in a couple of years.

The 2015 season is going to lay the foundation for that ultimate goal in 2017.”

This year’s team features eight returners, six of which are sophomores, and six newcomers, including five freshmen.

With just two upperclassmen on the roster, juniors Marina LeVine and Maite Moscoso will be asked to take on a leadership role on this young team. LeVine was one of the team’s top three finishers at five of the seven meets last year, while Moscoso ran a season-best 20:21.74 at the Sand Shark Invitational and was a top-five finisher for the team on two occasions.

The rest of the returners on this year’s team are all sophomores, led by Alex Orr and Alexandria Meneses. Orr was the top Eagle finisher at six meets a year ago, including a fifth overall finish at the ERAU Asics Classic. Meneses was one of the top five Eagles to finish three meets and was 23rd overall at the conference meet.

2015 SCHEDULE September 4 - Tampa, Fla. UT EARLY BIRD CLASSIC

September 19 - Gainesville, Fla. MOUNTAIN DEW INVITATIONAL

Marina LeVine The returning sophomore class also includes Eliza Gazda, Hayley Lewis, Annette Morrison, Brianna Paczynski and Audrey Parios. Gazda and Paczynski both ran sub-21-minute times at the Sand Shark Invitational last year, while Morrison earned a top-10 team finish at the Mountain Dew Invitational and Parios placed eighth among the Blue and Gold at the FSU Invitational.

Newcomers to the squad include freshmen Sarah Edens, Leanne Ellis, Josie Gray, Mikaela Hakamaa and Tia Larsen-Calcano.

SCHEDULE Both teams will open the season at the University of Tampa Early Bird Classic on Sept. 4.

Two weeks later, the Eagles will compete at the Mountain Dew Invitational hosted by the University of Florida, and ERAU will close out September at the Moccasin Invitational hosted by Florida Southern on Sept. 25.

October will see the Blue and Gold compete three more times, beginning with the FSU Invitational on Oct. 2. Embry-Riddle will host its annual home meet, the ERAU Asics Classic, on Oct. 10. The final meet of the 2015 season will be the Sand Shark Invitational hosted by former Sun Conference foe South Carolina Beaufort on Oct. 24.

Over the course of 13 cross country seasons, Mike Rosolino’s runners dominated Sun Conference competition. The men’s team won 10 consecutive league titles from 2005-14, while the women’s team topped the conference standings in seven straight seasons from 2006-12. The Eagles’ run began in 2005 when the Embry-Riddle men captured the program’s first league and NAIA Regional titles and made their first team appearance at the NAIA National Championship. A year later, Rosolino’s harriers repeated that performance and were joined by the ERAU women who claimed their first regional and conference crowns.

Rosolino was named The Sun Conference Cross Country Coach of the Year 16 times in his Embry-Riddle career - ninetimes for the men and seven on the women’s side – and the NAIA Region XIV Coach of the Year four times. He picked up his latest league coaching accolade in 2014 after leading the men to The Sun Conference crown and a 23rd-place finish at the NAIA National Championships. Rosolino saw Ellie Staker become to first women’s cross country runner in program history to earn NAIA All-America accolades in 2013.

The men took fifth place overall at the NAIA National Championship in 2009, with three runners earning All-America honors for the first time in program history, while the women finished 16th that same season. Rosolino coached Evans Kirwa to his second All-America honor in 2011, the first Eagle runner to accomplish the feat.

In 13 years with the Eagle cross country programs, Rosolino has coached 100 All-Conference performers (51 men and 49 women). The Eagles have also been extremely succesful in the classroom, posting 16 CoSIDA Academic All-America accolades and 34 Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete honors.

In 2005, Rosolino was tasked with launching the track and field program at Embry-Riddle. His penchant for success is evident in track and field as well as he led the men to eight conference championships and the women to six league titles in the last 10 seasons.

Rosolino has coached numerous conference champions, 183 NAIA All-Americans and seven NAIA National Champions who have won 16 individual national championships: Beth McCubbin (1000m: 2008, 2009), Crystal Bardge (100m hurdles: 2011, 2012; 60m hurdles: 2011), Sam Vazquez (1000m: 2011), Nicole Bonk (3000m Race Walk: 2012, 2013; 5000m Race Walk: 2012), Reta Woodard (Weight Throw: 2012, 2014; Hammer Throw: 2013, 2014), Mike Edwards (High Jump: Indoor 2013, Outdoor 2013) and Ellie Staker (Indoor 800m).

Rosolino came to Embry-Riddle from Presbyterian College in Clinton, S.C., where he spent two years on the coaching staff for the Blue Hose. He began his stint at Presbyterian as an assistant coach and was elevated to the head job after just six months. Despite the brevity of his tenure with the program, Rosolino guided the Blue Hose to their best finishes in school history, producing two South Atlantic Conference Runners of the Year and a Freshman of the Year in the process.

Prior to earning his position within the Presbyterian athletic department, Rosolino spent four academic years (1997-01) as the Director of Residence Life in Clinton. He also served as Resident Director for one year (1996-97) while attending graduate school.

A former standout runner for Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn., Rosolino helped the Lynx to three Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) titles from 1993-95. In his final season, he assumed the role of team captain and finished 11th overall at the SCAC Championship meet. Rosolino also ran two seasons for the Rhodes track team, competing in the middle to long distance races. In 1995, he finished fifth at the SCAC Championships in the steeplechase.

An Academic All-American for Rhodes in 1994 and 1995, Rosolino was a National Merit finalist and earned distinction as a National Science Scholar.

Rosolino earned his bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Rhodes in 1996. He went on to receive his Master of Education degree from the University of South Carolina in 1998 with an emphasis on student personnel services. Rosolino also holds a Level II certification from USA Track and Field. He earned a second Master’s degree in Pastoral Studies from Loyola College in New Orleans in 2009.

Rosolino and his wife Carrie reside in Port Orange with daughter Lynnlee and son Tanner.

Peter Hopfe came to the Embry-Riddle athletic program in January 2005 from Flagler Palm Coast High School where he worked with both the cross country and track programs as either the head or assistant coach for 10 years.

In 2001 and 2002, he led the FPC boys’ cross country teams to state titles. He led both the boys’ track and girls cross country teams to runner-up finishes at the Florida State meets in the 2001 and 2003, respectively, and also guided the FPC girls to numerous top-10 finishes.

A two-time Florida State Coach of the Year, Hopfe has coached individual track and cross country state champions, including Sam Vazquez who holds the state of Florida high school record at 1600m, was selected as Track and Field magazine’s 1600-meter Runner of the Year in 2003 and competed in the 2012 London Olympics for Puerto Rico, running the 1500m. Other notable runners include Justin Harbor who was a state champion in cross country and the two-Mile, and Matt Ciancilli a multi-event state champion.

Hopfe graduated from Bentley College in 1980 with a bachelor’s degree in Management. While at Bentley, he earned four letters as a cross country and track runner for the Falcons.

Although he competed at the collegiate level, Hopfe’s career as a runner blossomed after college as he focused on 5K road races and marathons at the elite level. Hopfe’s best time at 5K was 14:54. In 1987, he ran a personal best 2:28 at the Boston Peace Marathon, which earned him the opportunity to compete for the United States at the 1988 Moscow Marathon.

Hopfe is also active in the local running community as a member of the Daytona Beach Track Club and the Ancient City Road Runners in St. Augustine.

In addition to his coaching resume, Hopfe owned and operated a restaurant and multiple real estate companies. Hopfe and his wife Cynthia have two children and one grandchild.

DAYTONA BEACH

DAYTONA BEACH - HOME OF THE EAGLES Daytona Beach is an ever-changing city of more than 61,000 residents. Located on the “Fun Coast” of Florida, the principal city of Volusia County, it has become one of the premier destination spots in the Southeast Region. Despite its continuous growth, it has maintained the spirit and serenity of a small, close-knit beach community.

The city is a year-round family-friendly resort area, which hosts large groups of out-of-towners that descend upon the city for various events, most notably Speedweeks in early February, Bike Week in early March, Biketoberfest in October and Spring Break throughout March.

Home to four colleges and universities, Daytona Beach boasts an excellent quality of life and is a city that thrives and celebrates the diversity of its community.

Located less than an hour from Orlando and an hour and a half from Jacksonville, Daytona Beach residents have ample opportunity to experience both cities’ entertainment options, including Walt Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios, the Orlando Magic, Orlando City FC and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Daytona Beach continually exhibits its love for sports by hosting numerous local and national athletic events at the Ocean Center and Jackie Robinson Ballpark.

3

Daytona Beach boasts three major sports franchises in NASCAR, the LPGA and the USTA. The Daytona International Speedway is one of the most recognizable racetracks in the world and features the Daytona 500, Coke Zero 400 and numerous other auto racing events. The LPGA and USTA Florida both claim Daytona Beach as their organizational headquarters.

6

The beaches of Daytona rank sixth for beach destinations in the United States. Every year, millions of vacationers flock to the Atlantic Ocean and Daytona Beach to experience the sandy beaches in Volusia County. The hard packed sand allows motorized vehicles to drive right onto the beach.

55

Daytona Beach is located a short, 55-mile drive away from the Vacation Capital of the World: Orlando, Florida.

Orlando is home to Walt Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios, as well as the NBA’s Orlando Magic.

Daytona Beach is also just 91 miles from Jacksonville, the 11th-largest city in the United States.

70.4º 200

The average yearly temperature in Daytona Beach is 70.4º F (21.3º C), making for a warm and pleasant climate in which to live. Winters are mild and summers are warm thanks to its location on the Atlantic Ocean and the Halifax River, an estuary which flows between the beachside and the mainland.

Daytona Beach boasts more than 200 restaurants, including barbecue, Mexican, Oriental, Greek, Indian, Italian, Thai, seafood, Cuban, health and natural foods.

The curriculum covers the operation, engineering and research of modern aircraft, alternative vehicles and clean energy systems and the management of aviation and aerospace organizations.

Approximately 34,000 students pursue degrees from among 40 degree programs at residential campuses in Daytona Beach, Fla., and Prescott, Ariz., and at more than 150 education centers for working professionals in the United States, Canada, Europe and the Middle East. Embry-Riddle also offers online coursework.

Embry-Riddle’s worldwide reputation for academic excellence draws students from all 50 states and nearly 90 nations.

The 185-acre Daytona Beach campus, located next to Daytona Beach International Airport, has 4,600 undergraduate and 610 graduate students. Excellent flying weather and the resort communities surrounding the Daytona Beach campus offer students an outstanding environment in which to study, fly and enjoy numerous recreational and cultural activities. The campus is within an hour’s drive of the Kennedy Space Center and the Space Coast and within easy reach of Orlando and Jacksonville, which offer a menu of arts, culture, theme parks, shopping and professional sports.

History

On Dec. 17, 1925, 22 years after the historic flight of the Wright Flyer, barnstormer John Paul Riddle and entrepreneur T. Higbee Embry founded the Embry-Riddle Company at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati, Ohio. The following spring the company opened the Embry-Riddle School of Aviation.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University began with a simple plan to train airplane pilots in a thorough, efficient manner and to cash in on a booming post-World War I interest in flying. Today, Embry-Riddle leads the world in aviation and aerospace higher education.

After a period of decline in the 1930s, Embry-Riddle sprang to life again in Miami, Fla., as World War II erupted in Europe and the demand for aviators and mechanics surged.

Allied nations sent more than 25,000 young men to Embry-Riddle’s Florida centers to become pilots and aviation technicians. During the Korean War the U.S. Air Force contracted with Embry-Riddle to train airmen in the fundamentals of airplane maintenance.

In the following decades, Embry-Riddle expanded its international outreach and strengthened its academic programs. In 1965, Embry-Riddle consolidated its flight training, ground school and technical training programs into one location. With dollars and trucks borrowed from civic leaders, the move to Daytona Beach signaled the rebirth of Embry-Riddle as an accredited university and the start of its odyssey to world-class status.

32

Academics

Embry-Riddle is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award degrees at the associate, bachelor and master levels, as well as doctoral degrees in five areas of study.

At many public universities, freshmen and sophomores are taught by graduate assistants, but not so at Embry-Riddle. Classes, which average 25 students, are taught by faculty who are accessible to students in class, during office hours and through universitywide voice mail and e-mail.

1 3 6 15 27 5700

In September 2012, the “Best Colleges” guidebook published by U.S. News & World Report ranked Embry-Riddle’s undergraduate Aerospace Engineering program No. 1 in the nation. Embry-Riddle was also named to the top tier of universities granting mainly bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

Embry-Riddle has three campuses: - traditional, residential campuses in Daytona Beach, Fla., and Prescott, Ariz., and the Worldwide Campus provides educational opportunities to working adults at more than 150 locations in the United States, Europe, Asia, Canada and the Middle East.

Embry-Riddle’s 100,000 plus alumni include six astronauts

The student/faculty ratio at the Daytona Beach campus is 15-to-1 and the average class size is 23.

Embry-Riddle offers 27 undergraduate degree programs administered by the Colleges of Aviation, Arts & Sciences, Business Engineering. ERAU also offers 15 graduate degrees, as well as four doctoral programs.

The undergraduate enrollment at Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach campus is 5,700. Of that number, 17 percent are international students representing 98 countries.

Dr. John R. Watret Embry-Riddle University Interim President Dr. John R. Watret was named Interim President of Embry-Riddle in 2015, after serving as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.

As Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Watret provided leadership for all operational aspects of the Daytona Beach, Prescott, and Worldwide campuses, as well as Information Technology, Institutional Research, Strategic Planning and Analysis, and the Singapore Campus.

Watret was named Chancellor of the Worldwide Campus in 2010. As Chancellor, he oversaw all academic and operational functions of the campus, which is composed of more than 150 classroom locations in the United States and internationally, and provides services for more than 23,000 students annually through both traditional and online instruction.

Watret joined Embry-Riddle in 1989 and over the years has held several management and faculty positions at the Daytona Beach campus, including associate provost, associate chancellor, associate dean of academics, and full professor of mathematics. In the early 1990s, he took a brief leave of absence to serve as head of the department of mathematics for Texas A&M’s branch campus in northern Japan. In 2006, Watret became the associate vice president and chief academic officer for the Worldwide Campus.

During his tenure as a faculty member in the mathematics department, Watret was known as a dedicated and skilled instructor and was recognized by his peers with Embry-Riddle’s Outstanding Teaching Award in 1996. He has authored several publications and participated as a lead faculty member, developing the Integrated Curriculum in Engineering (ICE) program through a grant from the Boeing Company.

Watret continues to be active both nationally and internationally in the aviation industry and serves as a board member for the UF Online Campus as appointed by the Florida Board of Governors. He has also served as a member of an onsite re-affirmation visiting team for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). Additionally, Watret serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Asia, Ltd. in Singapore and is a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society (FRAeS).

Watret holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics and an M.S. in Mathematics, both from Texas A&M University, as well as a B.Sc. in Mathematics (honors) from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland. He also has a private pilot’s license.
