Michael Curcio

Head Cross Country/Distance Coach Applachian State, 1987 20th Year

Mike Curcio is in his 20th year as the head men’s and women’s cross country coach and track distance coach at Appalachian. During his four years as a student/athlete at Appalachian, he was a member of eight Southern Conference Championship first-place teams and has been a part of 51 SoCon Championship first-place teams since the beginning of his coaching tenure 19 years ago. The fall of 2014 was the inaugural season in the Sun Belt for the Mountaineer cross country teams with the women and men taking second-place each. The Apps were led by three all-conference performances for the women along with four all-conference for the men. The men were a meager two points out of first, while the women made it a battle losing by nine points. The men return seven of the eight team members with the women returning six of the eight team members. During thre track and field season, Curcio coached five athletes to top six finishes in distance events at indoor and outdoor SoCon championships. McFoy placed third two times in the 5,000m run, while Tristin Van Ord took fifth in the women’s 5,000m. The 2012-13 seasons proved to be another banner year for the cross country, indoor track and outdoor track distance athletes. The first time since 2002, both the men’s and women’s cross country teams won SoCon titles. Ironically, this was accomplished in Charleston, SC, the site of the previous sweep in 2002. Three of the men’s team and three of the women’s team earned All-SoCon honors for their hard work. Coach Curcio was recognized by his peers with Coach of the Year honors for men and women. Coach Curcio’s cross country teams have enjoyed a string of successes in the men’s program with 11 SoCon championships out of 17 since 1997. This includes six straight championships since 2005. The women’s program has won two SoCon championships since 1997. Curcio has been tabbed the SoCon Cross Country Coach of the Year 10 times for the men and once for the women. Along with these honors in cross country, Coach Curcio in 2003 was named the USTCA Division I Men’s National Assistant Coach of the Year for Distance. Since taking the reins of the distance program, he has coached nine NCAA qualifiers, 16 NCAA 1st Round qualifiers, 22 USTFCCCA Junior National qualifiers and 7 Southern Conference freshmen of the year. In addition, Coach Curcio coached 90 All-SoCon cross country athletes and 4 SoCon individual champions. Along with those outstanding numbers, he has coached athletes to 63 SoCon indoor and outdoor individual titles while his athletes have garnered 214 All-SoCon honors in both indoor and outdoor track. To go with that list

of accomplishment for his athletes, you can add 2 athletes earning SoCon indoor track MVP laurels and 2 athletes earning the same honor outdoors. As athletic excellence is important, Coach Curcio’s teams also strive for success in the classroom. Athlete’s in Coach Curcio’s program have been honored with academic awards. Two have received NCAA post-graduate scholarships, one received a SoCon post-graduate scholarship while three have received the Jim Brakefield award for the graduating senior with the highest GPA among athletes at Appalachian. In addition, 15 of his athletes have earned USTFCCCA Academic All-American honors. During this new era of APR reports (Academic Progress Reports) mandated by the NCAA, both the men’s and women’s cross country teams recorded APR scores well above the national average. The men’s team has been recognized with a NCAA Public Recognition Award for compiling a four-year APR of 1,000 ( a perfect score) and ranking among the top 10% of all teams in the nation. Prior to taking his current position at Appalachian, Curcio was an assistant at Florida State from 1988-1992. In the Spring of 1993, he became an assistant at South Florida where he helped build the track program and a nationally ranked cross country program. The track women at USF won 3 conference titles in the first four years of the program. The men’s and women’s cross country teams were ranked 12th and 21st at one time in Division I during his time at USF. Curcio hails from New York where he attended Newfield High School before attending and competing for Appalachian State. He was a 3-time All-SoCon selection in track and still ranks seventh all-time in the 1500m with a time of 3:49.60. He still shares Appalachian recordholder status in the indoor 4x800m, 4x1500m and two mile relay.

Season Preview

Appalachian State Appalachian State University men’s indoor track and field is set to kickoff its 2014-15 season after coming off a successful 2013-14 campaign. The Mountaineers will look to build off of their second-place finish at last year’s Southern Conference indoor chamionships and third-place finish at the outdoor championships in their first year in the Sun Belt Conference. Head coach John Weaver enters his 33rd season at the helm of Appalachian State University women’s cross country and track coach and his 19th season as the director of both the men and women’s cross country and track teams. SPRINTS The Mountaineers will return many who contributed toward the second-place finish last indoor season. The Apps will bring back its entire second-place 4x400m relay team of Raphael Rojas, Joshua Hanna, Trey Edgerton and Stanley Broaden. Rojas, Hanna and Edgerton were big contributors in the 400m dash with second, fifth and seventh-place finishes, respectively. Marshall McRae will also return to a stacked roster with tremendous depth. Last year, McRae finished second in the 60m dash with a personal-best time of 6.85. William Buckley finished seventh in the same race, while also placing fourth in the 200m dash for the Mountaineers.

Appalachian indoor track & field enters its seventh season in the George M. Holmes Convocation Center. The Holmes Center serves as home of Mountaineer indoor track and field, as well as Appalachian’s men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs. The facility houses a 300m directional mondo surface. Standing on Rivers Street at Appalachian State University, the 200,840-square foot Holmes Center serves as the cornerstone to the entry to Holmes Center Track campus and houses App’s Department of Health, Leisure and Exercise Science. The structure also includes the 8,325-seat Seby Jones Arena, which hosts a number of community and cultural events in addition to Appalachian athletics, including graduation and convocation ceremonies, trade shows and concerts. The facility opened on November 17, 2000 with a celebration followed by a men’s basketball contest between Appalachian and the University of North Carolina. With much anticipation, every seat for the App-UNC showdown was sold in adIndoor Holmes Center Setup vance, marking the first pre-gameday sellout in school history for any sporting event. The athletics ticket office sold the full allotment of tickets for the inaugural contest at the Holmes Center in just 12 minutes. Public service, a cornerstone upon which Appalachian was founded, is the hallmark of the two individuals whom names adorn the university’s convocation center, as former App Chancellor, Francis T. Borkowski announced that the center would be called the George M. Holmes Convocation Center and its arena the Seby Jones Arena on March 20, 1999. Holmes is a Republican member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, representing the 41st District (Yadkin, Wilkes and Alexander Counties). He is the senior co-chair of the North Carolina House of Appropriations Committee. A native of Mount Airy, N.C., Holmes attended Appalachian on a football scholarshipin the 1950’s. Holmes first entered political office from 1975-76 and has served 11 terms since 1979. He serves on the Governor’s Advisory Budget Commission, the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations and the Joint Legislative Transportation Oversight Committee. Holmes was instrumental in securing the bulk of the $36.8 million needed to build the convocation center. Jones served as mayor and a council member of Raleigh from 1967-71. He also served on App’s Board of Trustees for eight years, chairing the Board in 1990-91.

The outdoor home of the Appalachian track and field team, Kidd Brewer Stadium stands 3,333 feet above sea level and seats 16,650. Also home to the football and field hockey teams, it was the first facility in either North or South Carolina to install artificial turf, with Appalachian and Elon staging the first football game on fake grass in the Carolinas, Oct. 3, 1970. Opened Sept. 15, 1962, the stadium was originally constructed with 10,000 permanent seats. Seating capacity was expanded to 18,000 following the 1978 season. Completion of an extensive renovation and restoration project on the original 10,000 seats in 1995 readjusted the seating capacity to 16,650. A multi-purpose facility, Kidd Brewer Stadium is also home to intramural sports, while classes and the community use the facility, as well. Owens Field House, at the north end of the stadium, houses athletic and fundraising offices, locker rooms and equipment areas, along with the Dr. Hugh S. Daniel Conference Room. In 1989, a new building was added adjacent to the field house, with athletic and coaching offices, the Dr. Evan Ashby Sports Medicine Room, strength and conditioning areas, and locker rooms. The stadium is also in the midst of renovations to add a new athletic complex, slated to be completed by the fall of 2009. An addition of 4,000 seats on the east side was completed in the summer of 2008. The stadium is named after Kidd Brewer, one of the Mountaineers’ most successful head football coaches, and a colorful part of North Carolina history. Brewer, a Winston-Salem, N.C., native, served as football coach of the Mountaineers for four seasons (1935-38), compiling a 30-5-3 overall mark. An all-American backfield star at Duke University, Brewer’s 1937 Appalachian squad was unbeaten and unscored upon in the regular season. After leaving Appalachian, Brewer started a sales career, but shortly thereafter reported for active duty in World War II. He served as a Naval lieutenant in the Pacific. After the war Brewer was secretary to U.S. Sen. Josiah W. Bailey (D-N.C.). Upon Bailey’s death in office Brewer served his replacement, Sen. William B. Umstead, as administrative assistant. Brewer returned to North Carolina and ran for lieutenant governor in 1956. Between campaigns for governor (1964) and state court of appeals (1968), he made a name for himself as a developer, insurance salesman and philanthropist. Kidd Brewer Stadium, dedicated Sept. 3, 1988, was named Conrad Stadium from 1962 to 1988 for William J. Conrad, a former Appalachian State University trustee and R.J. Reynolds executive.

BEASLEY

INTERIM DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS NINTH YEAR AT APP STATE Rick Beasley, one of the most decorated student-athletes in Appalachian State University history, was named interim director of athletics by Appalachian State Chancellor Dr. Sheri N. Everts on Aug. 15, 2014. Beasley has been a member of the athletics administation at his alma mater since 2006. He came to Appalachian State as a senior associate athletics director and was promoted to deputy athletics director in 2014. In his role, Beasley served as the athletics department’s chief development officer and was heavily involved in the department’s day-to-day operations. Appalachian State athletics has enjoyed unprecedented fundraising success under Beasley’s leadership. After never topping $700,000 in any full year prior to his arrival, the Yosef Club (Appalachian State athletics’ fundraising arm) has raised at least $1 million in each of Beasley’s eight full years at the University and has surpassed the $3 million mark each of the past two years. Additionally, Beasley has overseen the solicitation of donations for naming rights and premium seating that has funded much of Appalachian State’s $50 million in athletics facility enhancements since his arrival. An all-America wide receiver at Appalachian State from 197780, Beasley set seven school records during his playing career and remains the program’s all-time leader in yards per reception (17.6) and 100-yard games (16) in a career. In addition to being named a second-team Associated Press All-American in 1979, he was also the Southern Conference Male Athlete of the Year in 1979-80, a threetime all-conference performer and an academic all-conference honoree. For 17 years prior to his return to Appalachian State (1989-2006), Beasley served as the city manager for Conover, N.C. As city manager, he served at the pleasure of the city council and was respon-

Appalachian was a dominant force in the Southern Conference for more than 40 years before joining the Sun Belt Conference in July 2014 – one of 10 conferences that are members of the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Nearly half of Appalachian’s student-athletes typically earned inclusion on the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll, which requires a 3.0 grade-point average or higher while completing at least 24 hours in two semesters. SoCon success Before joining the Sun Belt Conference in July 2014, the Mountaineers won 34 Southern Conference Commissioner’s cups for overall excellence in men’s athletics, with 2013-14 being its ninth-straight year to win. No other school claimed the Commissioner’s Cup more than five times since it was first awarded in 1970. While in the Southern Conference, the Mountaineers earned 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, softball and men’s tennis. In football, the Mountaineers won three consecutive NCAA Division I FCS national championship titles in 2005, 2006 and 2007. • 96 – number of student-athletes earning Academic all-Conference honors • 42% – percentage of Appalachian student-athletes earning a place on the department’s Honor Roll, with a minimum GPA of 3.25 • 3.03 – student-athletes’ overall cumulative GPA following the conclusion of the 2013-14 academic year • 13 of 20 – the number of varsity programs at Appalachian with multi-year APR scores that exceeded the national averages for their respective sports (beginning with the 2009-10 acadmic year and ending in 2012-13) athletics administration, staff, coaches, programs and policies.

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. APPALACHIAN STATE ATHLETICS DIVERSITY STATEMENT Appalachian athletics promotes an inclusive culture that fosters equitable participation for student-athletes and equitable career opportunities for coaches, administrators and support staff from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

BOONE, NORTH CAROLINA Boone lies in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians. It is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. 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,” U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” and SafeWise.com’s “50 Safest Cities in North Carolina.” Boone is a college town, home to Appalachian State University. Originally Watauga Academy, the institution was formed to educate the mountain children and to ultimately 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. The university serves as a top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. The Boone area is characterized by mountain culture and casual living. Outdoor activities, cultural events, local dining and unique shops attract visitors from all over the world year-round.
