The Department of Athletics at Appalachian State University believes in maintaining the intercollegiate athletics program as an integral part of the University’s overall program of education, with emphasis on and priority given to the high academic quality and standards and the complete development of the student. Appalachian State University provides opportunity and encouragement for student-athletes to progress toward degrees of their choice and to develop athletic abilities in an environment consistent with high standards of academic scholarship, leadership and institutional loyalty. The Department of Athletics is committed to ensuring the general welfare of the student-athlete and to encouraging the highest standards of sportsmanship on behalf of student-athletes, the student body and the University’s supporters. The intercollegiate athlete representing ASU is both a bona-fide student pursuing a degree program and an amateur competitor. Appalachian Athletics is committed to insuring equitable recruitment, participation and treatment of individuals including members of under-represented populations through its athletics administration, staff, coaches, programs and policies. The University’s policy of non-discrimination represents a moral and ethical, not merely a legal, imperative. The University has determined that its athletics program will meet the necessary qualifications, guidelines and funding to hold membership in Division I of the NCAA. The athletics administration, the faculty athletics representative and the Athletics Council work together to insure that all teams and coaches follow the rules and regulations governing this division. A sound program of intercollegiate athletics should benefit the institution through its effects on students, alumni and the institution itself. Specifically, it should maintain and improve the loyalty and esprit de corps of the student body, and in strengthening the pride and enthusiasm of the alumni; it should serve as a favorable public relations factor and provide benefits to the participants.

Appalachian State Bill Dicus Head Coach 19th season Campbell University The 2010-11 season marks Bill Dicus’ 19th year at Appalachian State University and his 17th at the helm of the men’s golf program. Last season, the head coach saw his hard work pay off as senior Casey Johnson won the Spring Hill Suites Intercollegiate and later placed second at the Mission Inn Intercollegiate. The senior graduated as one of the top golfers in the Southern Conference and one of the best in ASU history. Johnson owns four of the five lowest single-round scores in program history, as well as the best 54-hole tournament score (207). His stroke average is also the best in ASU history, at 74.79 spread over 112 rounds. (He narrowly edges Bern Gregory’s mark of 74.90.) In the past five years, four different ASU golfers have posted the top four 36-hole tournament scores in program history. Led by Johnson, Jacob Eggers, Taylor Hines and Robert Quick have all cracked the record book in the category. The Apps placed in the top-10 in eight out of 11 tournaments for the season, including a third-place finish at the Mission Inn Intercollegiate. In 2008, Dicus led the team to a season-best finish of fifth place at the North-South Intercollegiate in Jacksonville, Fla. During his tenure with the men’s team, Appalachian has finished as high as fourth in 2001 in the Southern Conference, one of college golf’s most prestigious conferences. Dicus led Bern Gregory onto the all-conference team in 2000 and also led the team to fourth place in 2001 in the Southern Conference. While at Appalachian, he also coached the women’s team for fifteen seasons. The Mountaineers placed second in the SoCon three times, placing behind only national-power Furman. He also coached the league’s Freshman of the Year, Kelly Clements, in 1996. Dicus mentored two All Conference performers, Merryll McElwain (199496) and Brittany Winterton (1997). He led the Mountaineers to consecutive sixth-place showings in the very competitive SoCon Championship in 2006 and ‘07, the Apps’ best finish since 2003. A native of Honolulu, Hawaii, Dicus is a class A member of the Professional Golfers’ Associtation of America. He received a Bachelor of Science from Campbell University and has done post-graduate work at Appalachian. In addition to his duties at ASU, Dicus serves as a golf professional at Linville Ridge Country Club in Linville, N.C., one of the premier courses in North Carolina. Dicus and his wife, Pepe, reside in Boone.

Men’s Golf Takes on St. Andrews in September 2010 FIFE, Scotland - Appalachian State University men’s golf arrived in Scotland for the 2010 International Collegiate Championship at the Torrance Course at St. Andrews in early September 2010. Players and boosters played a practice round at the Torrance Course at St Andrews on Sept. 3 before taking on full competitions. Boosters competed for the Boosters Cup against Georgia Southern at the Dukes Course, while the Mountaineer golfers played at Kingsbarn, which serves as a British Open and Dunhill Cup venue. The tournament, which is in its third year, ran from Sept. 5-7 and also included teams from Georgia Southern, North Carolina, NC State and Baylor as well as British teams from St. Andrews University, Stirling University and the Scottish Golf Union. The highlight on the courses may have been when Web Grubb sank a hole-in-one on the 205-yard fifth hole at the Torrance Course. Coach Dicus noted the trip was enjoyable and interest had already been expressed in returning in the future.

Appalachian State Heather Brown Head Coach Third season Appalachian State Heather Brown begins her third season at the helm of Appalachian State University women’s golf after leading the team to unprecedented success in 2009-10. Led by senior Brooke Dehart and sparked by four freshmen, the Mountaineers recorded a pair of second-place finishes, at the Campbell Fighting Camel Classic as well as the Mimosa Hills Intercollegiate. It marked the first time that the Apps placed second or better twice in a season since 2001-02. Newcomer Yue Xu then single-handedly rewrote the record books with her performance at the Southern Conference Tournament. The freshman became the first ASU woman to win the event, with a three-stroke victory, which earned her freshman all-SoCon honors. Under Brown’s tutelage, Xu set ASU’s single-round record (69) and 54-hole record (69-72-76=217) at the SoCon Championship and the single-season stroke average (75.6 - previously 77.8). All told, Xu placed in the top-10 in all six spring tournaments in 2010. Brown’s solid recruiting efforts began to pay off with team depth, as fellow newcomers Rumbidzai Masamvu (79.3) and Kristina Boo (80.4) ranked second and third on the team in stroke average for the season. In her first season at the helm, Brown’s Mountaineers posted four top-10 team finishes, including fourth place as the host team at the Mimosa Hills Women’s Intercollegiate. She helped Kerri Dice and Brooke DeHart to breakout seasons in 2008-09 as the duo shaved a combined four strokes off their averages from the year before. Brown was tabbed to lead the Appalachian State University women’s golf program on Friday, May 16, 2008. Brown, a 1989 ASU graduate, brings 18 years of professional golf experience with her back to the High Country. From 2002-08, the Madison, Conn. native headed up the Golf Juniors program at Richter Park Golf Course in Danbury, Conn., where she mentored dozens of young golfers, coached high school golfers and taught several hundred private lessons on an annual basis. Additionally, Brown helped lead the Danbury High School girls team to a state championship in 2004-05. Prior to her time in Danbury, Brown served as a golf professional throughout Connecticut at Tamarack Country Club from 1994-95 and 1998-2001, Rolling Hills Country Club from 1996-97, Cabarrus Country Club from 1992-93 and Klein’s Driving Range from 1995-96. As a collegiate, Brown played for ASU head coaches Tom Adams and Peter Rucker from 1984 to ‘88. She was both the captain and team MVP in 1988. Her former teammate, Angie Ridgeway, is the women’s golf coach at Southern Conference-rival Wofford College.

EDUCATING NORTH CAROLINA’S CITIZENS AND LEADERS
Appalachian State University is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Boone, N.C. At an elevation of 3,333 feet, Boone began as a frontier outpost named after pioneer Daniel Boone, who first explored the area in the 1760s. Since that time, the area has attracted those seeking natural beauty, adventure and learning. Appalachian is a member of the 16-campus University of North Carolina system. The university offers a challenging and stimulating learning experience for nearly 17,000 students. Appalachian combines the best attributes of a small liberal arts college with those of a large, research institution. It is particularly known for its research and outreach in health-related fields and the areas of energy/environment/economics. Distinctively residential, the main campus encompasses 411 acres. It includes 19 academic buildings, 20 residence halls, four dining facilities and 11 recreational and athletic facilities. Appalachian also operates a living-learning center in New York City. Off-campus programs are offered in 10 counties through collaboration with area community colleges. The university is characterized by close collaboration between students and faculty, quality academics, and life-changing co-curricular activities that develop graduates with real-world capabilities. Appalachian also emphasizes the importance of sustainability and service to communities, both locally and globally. Consistently ranked among U.S. News and World Report’s best public universities in the Southeast, Appalachian is also noted as a “best value” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and other publications. Appalachian supports a broad-based athletics program, featuring 10 men’s and 10 women’s intercollegiate teams. The Mountaineers hold NCAA Division I status and have been members of the Southern Conference since 1971. The Mountaineers won their 30th Southern Conference Commissioner’s Cup for overall excellence in men’s athletics during the 2009-10 academic year. The award was established in 1979. In football, the Mountaineers won three consecutive NCAA Division I FCS national championship titles – in 2005, 2006 and 2007. The Germann Cup, which recognizes overall women’s excellence, has been won by Appalachian eight times since the award’s inception in 1987. This is the second-most in league history. Since joining the Southern Conference, the Mountaineers have captured league titles in football, men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, men’s soccer and men’s tennis. Appalachian’s student-athletes excel in the classroom as well as on the playing field. In the 2009-10 academic year, 69 student-athletes made the Southern Conference’s academic all-conference teams. To be eligible, a student-athlete must possess at least a 3.2 cumulative grade point average. One Mountaineer had a 4.0 GPA.

Appalachian State University provides opportunity and encouragement for student-athletes to progress toward degrees of their choice and to develop athletic abilities in an environment consistent with high standards of academic scholarship, leadership and institutional loyalty.

Appalachian Athletics is committed to insuring equitable recruitment, participation and treatment of individuals including members of under-represented populations through its athletics administration, staff, coaches, programs and policies. The University’s policy of non-discrimination represents a moral and ethical, not merely a legal, imperative.

The athletics administration, the faculty athletics representative and the Athletics Council work together to insure that all teams and coaches follow the rules and regulations governing this division. A sound program of intercollegiate athletics should benefit the institution through its effects on students, alumni ad the institution itself. Specifically, it should maintain and improve the loyalty and esprit de corps of the student body, and in strengthening the pride and enthusiasm of the alumni; it should serve as a favorable public relations factor and provide benefits to the participants.

BOONE, NORTH CAROLINA
Boone lies nestled in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians and is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Among its accolades are inclusion in National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Norman Crampton’s “100 Best Small Towns in America,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards” and U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. Appalachian State University began as Watauga Academy in 1899 to educate the mountain children and ultimately to prepare teachers for service through western North Carolina. It became Appalachian State Teachers College in 1929 and joined the University of North Carolina system in 1971. Boone is a college town in the best sense – where people say hello on the street and a vibrant downtown is mere steps from the university campus. It is characterized by beautiful mountain scenery, distinct four-season weather, mountain heritage culture and casual living – and it is the center of tourism and commerce for Watauga County and the surrounding High Country. Outdoor activities, cultural events, fine dining and eclectic shops bring visitors from all over the world. Boone enjoys a low rate of unemployment with the university as a top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. Boone is a year-round playground for business meetings and conferences, as well as leisure. The cool summers, dazzling colors of fall and serene winters offer something for every nature lover. An unusually wide array of quality arts and cultural programming enhance the Boone community. The university’s An Appalachian Summer Festival, a month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, has brought Lily Tomlin, Branford Marsalis, Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Andre Watts, Charlie Daniels, the Glenn Miller Orchestra and other notable performers. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra. The jewel of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a robust community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of new and historically important artwork, and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region. Boone offers an uncommon quality of life. That’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.
