MISSISSIPPI STATE TRACK & FIELD TRACK AND FIELD FACILITIES
MIKE SANDERS TRACK COMPLEX On Friday, April 10, 2015, the Mississippi State University track was named the Mike Sanders Track Complex after former track standout Michael W. Sanders. Over the past several years, the track stadium at MSU has seen many enhancements. A brick grandstand was added in 2013 and holds about 3,500 people. MSU played host to the 2015 SEC Outdoor Track and Field Championships on May 14-16, at the newly-dedicated Mike Sanders Track Complex. Also during the 2015 season, MSU hosted the Border Clash and the Jace LaCoste Invitational. The facility now hosts the annual Al Schmidt Bulldog Relays and the Maroon and White Invite. An MSU alumnus, Sanders began his college career in 1960 after receiving a dual scholarship for football and track and field. His football career ended due to injuries, but he was able to continue track and field during his time at State. In his sophomore year, he and fellow members of the MSU track team won the 1962 SEC championship. He is a member of the university’s M-Club for his achievements in track. After college, Sanders has served on the boards for the Alumni Foundation, the MSU Foundation and the Bulldog Club. In 2014, Sanders was named the Mississippi State National Alumnus of the Year. In 2019, he received the Leo Seal Jr. M-Club Award, created to honor a former letterman for his or her outstanding loyalty, dedication and service to Mississippi State. In addition, the award recognizes a former letterman who has been successful in business and the community. Sanders is the third former letterman to receive this award, which is not given annually. Today Sanders resides in Cleveland, Mississippi, with his wife Nan Long Sanders. Together the couple has two children, Michael W. Sanders and Amanda Sanders Turner, along with Sander’s daughter Ellen Sanders Voelkel and six grandchildren. CARL MADDOX TRACK & INFIELD Work was completed on MSU’s $3.2 million renovation to the Carl Maddox Track at W.O. Spencer Stadium in 2011 in time for several MSU home meets during that spring, including the SEC/Big 10 Challenge in March. The state-of-the-art facility features nine lines, a steeplechase water jump and high jump, pole vault and long/triple jump pits, in addition to a javelin runway and shot put, hammer and discus throw rings. W.O. SPENCER STADIUM The dedication of the W.O. Spencer Track Stadium took place on Nov. 13, 1982. Named after two-time Olympian and former MSU track and field athlete W.O. Spencer. His generous donations gave the MSU track program a grandstand that seats 3,500 fans.
Spencer lettered four years in track and three in cross country under former coach E.C. “Billy” Hayes. During his time on the track and field team, he served as the 1922 season captain and was the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association mile champion in 1921 and 1922. In the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, Spencer won gold in the mile relay team and finished third in the steeplechase in the 1928 games in Amsterdam. After his competition year Spencer went on to become the MSU track and field coach from 1936-1947, minus four years while serving on active military duty. Spencer was installed in the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame in Jackson in 1968 and, in 1971, was inducted into the MSU Sports Hall of Fame. HOLLIMAN ATHLETIC CENTER Originally opened in April 2005 as a home to Bulldog football, the 46,000-square foot Holliman Athletic Center now houses the track and field locker rooms, team lounge, meeting room and equipment room along with the Columbus Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Center. The Holliman Athletic Center is named in honor of MSU graduate and longtime university and athletic program supporter W.G. “Mickey” Holliman of Tupelo, Mississippi. A native of Shuqualak, Mississippi, Holliman was the co-founder of Action Industries, now known as Lane Furniture, and is chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Furniture Brands International. He serves on the executive committee of the Bulldog Club, the Board of Directors of the MSU Foundation and is the immediate past president of the Bulldog Club. Regarded as one of the best facilities in the nation, the MSU track and field team locker rooms and team lounge are located on the second floor of the facility and provide quick access to the Mike Sanders Track Complex. A hallway running between the areas highlights Bulldog greats from throughout the program’s history. A large equipment room and laundry room finish out the space. On the ground floor of the building, the Columbus Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Center is the primary sports medicine facility for the track and field and tennis teams and is a secondary facility for soccer, softball, volleyball, and women’s golf. It also serves as an administrative hub for the sports medicine and performance department, including the department of counseling and sport psychology. The 4,500-square foot athletic training facility was made possible through a naming gift from the Columbus Orthopaedic Clinic, whose surgeons began handling the sports medicine needs of MSU student-athletes in 1981. Six of the orthopaedic surgeons at the clinic are State graduates themselves.

TEMPLETON CENTER ATRIUM
SHIRA FIELDHOUSE
LARRY H. TEMPLETON CENTER
Named in honor of the late Charles N. Shira, former MSU head football coach and athletic director, the two-story complex opened in the mid-1970s. When opened at that time, it housed the football locker room and a 50-yard-long indoor practice field, as well as the main athletic equipment, training and weight rooms.
The facility is an addition to two existing facilities in the athletic wing of the MSU campus - the Shira Complex and the Holliman Athletic Center. It is situated on the south side of those two facilities, and across the street from the Bryan Athletic Administration Building.
The Shira Fieldhouse Complex, which underwent a million-dollar renovation in 1992 and another facelift in 2017, serves as one of Mississippi State’s two primary facilities for conditioning, treating and equipping Bulldog athletes.
Since MSU football’s move to the Leo Seal Jr. Complex in 2013, the Shira Fieldhouse Complex has maintained its purpose of housing training facilities for many of the athletic teams on campus. The indoor turf room was renovated in 2017 to incorporate a new look, energy-efficient lighting and a netted area for the track and field team to practice field events indoors. The adjoining weight room also received several updates in 2017 including fresh graphics, new lighting and new flooring.

Dedicated on November 1, 2008, the Templeton Athletic Academic Center was a welcome addition to the Bulldog athletic program. The $10 million facility is named for former MSU Director of Athletics Larry Templeton.
The 34,000 square-foot building serves the entire athletic department, houses the Athletic Academics offices and staff, and includes individual computer rooms, tutor work areas, a large open study area and a 300-seat dining facility with a fully-functioning kitchen. Templeton, now Athletic Director Emeritus, served 22 years as Director of Athletics and during his tenure helped position MSU Athletics as an innovative, progressive program, with equality in sports for women, new and renovated facilities and keen fiscal management.

THE UNIVERSITY
ACADEMICS AND STUDENT LIFE
The largest university in the Magnolia State, MSU has a statewide enrollment of more than 21,000 students and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award baccalaureate, masters, specialists and doctorate degrees.
Recently initiated programs are providing opportunities to develop leadership potential and global study options.
Mississippi State is a comprehensive doctoral-degree-granting institution offering a diverse student body a wide range of opportunities and challenges for learning and growth.
Established in 1878 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi, the university has traditional strengths in engineering and scientific agriculture but has evolved into a comprehensive institution with a diverse array of programs in teaching, research and service. The University began as The Agricultural and Mechanical College of the State of Mississippi, one of the national Land-Grant Colleges established after Congress had passed the Morrill Act in 1862. It was created by the Mississippi Legislature on February 28, 1878, to fulfill the mission of offering training in “agriculture, horticulture and the mechanical arts . . . without excluding other scientific and classical studies, including military tactics.” The College received its first students in the fall of 1880 in the presidency of Confederate General Stephen D. Lee. In 1887 Congress passed the Hatch Act, which provided for the establishment of the Agricultural Experiment Station in 1888. Two other pieces of federal legislation provided funds for extending the mission of the College: in 1914, the Smith-Lever Act called for “instruction in practical agriculture and home economics to persons not attendant or resident,” thus creating the state-wide effort which led to Extension offices in every county in the State; and, in 1917, the Smith-Hughes Act provided for the training of teachers in vocational education.
Mississippi State students consistently earn honors such as the prestigious Harry S. Truman Scholarship, awarded for those who will enter public service, and, with 16 Truman Scholars to date, the university has been recognized as one of 38 Truman Honor Institution.
The university’s Global Leadership Continuum provides “cradle-to-CEO” programming designed to develop leadership across a “global” spectrum that begins with high school and continues through the university experience and into professional life. Included are the Young Guns Leadership Camp for rising high school seniors; the Day One Leadership Community for incoming freshmen, focusing on shared academic and service experiences; and the highly competitive Appalachian Leadership Honors Program for sophomores and juniors. To complement these efforts, the university has launched a minor in leadership studies open to students in all majors. A university honor code adopted in 2007 institutionalizes a campus culture of integrity and personal responsibility in academic studies. Through the Global Leadership Program, students may experience significantly expanded study abroad opportunities.
By 1932, when the Legislature renamed the College as Mississippi State College, it consisted of the Agricultural Experiment Station (1887), the College of Engineering (1902), the College of Agriculture (1903), the School of Industrial Pedagogy (1909), the School of General Science (1911), the College of Business and Industry (1915), the Mississippi Agricultural Extension Service (1915), and the Division of Continuing Education, (1919). Further, in 1926 the College had received its first accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. By 1958, when the Legislature again renamed the College, as Mississippi State University, the Office of Graduate Studies had been organized (1936), doctoral degree programs had begun (1951), the School of Forest Resources had been established (1954), and the College of Arts and Sciences had been created (1956). The College of Architecture admitted its first students in 1973. The College of Veterinary Medicine admitted its first class in 1977, and the School of Accountancy was established in 1979.

DR. MARK E. KEENUM UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT | 11TH YEAR Dr. Mark Everett Keenum became Mississippi State’s 19th president Jan. 5, 2009, following a distinguished public service career. Now in his 11th year of tenure, Dr. Keenum has guided the university to unprecedented heights with an unwavering focus on students – preparing them for success in a rapidly changing world and instilling in them the timeless values of integrity, hard work, and respect. Mississippi State has achieved record enrollment growth and has awarded more than 4,000 degrees at all levels for eight straight years. The Phi Beta Kappa Society, the nation’s oldest and most prestigious academic honor society, granted the university a chapter in 2018 after a rigorous, multi-year review. Additionally, Dr. Keenum has been instrumental in expanding the MSU Promise Program, which provides need-based scholarship assistance to Mississippi students whose families have limited financial means. The number of endowed scholarships and endowed faculty chairs and professorships has also grown significantly. The Chronicle of Higher Education has designated MSU as a “Great College To Work For” for the past three years. The campus has expanded and improved on Dr. Keenum’s watch – completing or initiating capital improvements totaling more than $1 billion since 2009. These projects include the $68 million expansion of Dudy Noble Field/Polk-DeMent Stadium, home to one of the most storied college baseball programs in America, and construction of the new Left Field Lofts. The Mill at MSU – a $40 million, state-of-the-art conference and meeting complex – has sparked a revitalization of the Russell Street corridor in Starkville. The Old Main Academic Center is a $41 million classroom building and multi-level parking garage. A $10 million, fourth-floor expansion of Mitchell Memorial Library now houses the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library and the Frank and Virginia Williams Collection of Lincolniana. This summer, the university and its partner, Greystar celebrated the opening of the $67 million College View development. The first-of-its-kind project for any Mississippi university combines student housing with a mix of retail, commercial, and restaurant space. Construction of the $34 million Rula Engineering and Science Complex is underway on the university’s famed “Engineering Row,” as is a $16 million, 500 space parking garage next to Howell Hall and across from Humphrey Coliseum. The university is also planning

a new $17 million Music Building adjacent to the Band Hall and Choral Facility along Hardy Road. A new Animal and Dairy Science/ Poultry Science Complex for the Division of Agriculture, Forestry and Veterinary Medicine is also nearing completion at the corner of Blackjack Road and the new Hail State Boulevard. Fundraising has reached all-time record levels in recent years, including $113 million for the recently completed fiscal year. The university has raised more than $100 million in gifts and pledges for each of the past six consecutive years. MSU’s current Infinite Impact capital campaign will reach its historic $1 billion goal – the largest campaign goal ever for an educational institution in Mississippi – later this year.

He went on to serve as chief of staff to U.S. Senator Thad Cochran in Washington, D.C. and was Under Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture prior to returning home to Mississippi State. A graduate of Corinth High School, Dr. Keenum earned an Associate in Arts degree from Northeast Mississippi Community College in Booneville and was a member of the Northeast Tigers football team. He is married to the former Rhonda Newman of Booneville, also an MSU graduate. They have four children: Rett, Mary Phillips, Katie and Torie.
During his two-year term as president of the Southeastern Conference, he led the SEC Executive Committee, and he continues to serve on the SEC’s Content Committee Board of Directors that oversees the highly successful ESPN-SEC Network. In 2018, he was named chairman of the College Football Playoff’s (CFP) Board of Managers. The CFP determines the national champion of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. Also in 2018, he was elected to serve a six-year term on the Board of Trustees of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, which is the second-oldest state department of archives and history in the country. A Carnegie Foundation R1-Very High Research Activity Doctoral University, Mississippi State plays an integral role in economic development locally, statewide, and across the region. Its impact is further felt nationally and internationally through unique collaborative partnerships with peer institutions, business and industry, government agencies, and leading non-governmental organizations. Mississippi State is ranked by the National Science Foundation as a “Top 100” research institution, and its annual research and development expenditures have exceeded $240 million. MSU R&D expenditures consistently account for more than half of the state’s total. A graduate of Mississippi State with degrees in agricultural economics, Dr. Keenum’s interest in international food security has strengthened the university’s contributions to global economic sustainability. He serves as chairman of the Board of Directors of the Foundation for Food and Agricultural Research and the Board

JOHN COHEN
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS | FOURTH YEAR When John Cohen was named Mississippi State University’s 17th director of athletics on November 4, 2016, he wasted little time putting his stamp on the department. Since that time, the former MSU head baseball coach and two-time Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year has overseen arguably the greatest era in Bulldog athletic history. Since the spring of 2018, State has claimed five SEC team championships, representing the most in a two-year span in school history. Under Cohen’s watch, 34 teams have advanced to postseason play, including a school-record 13 during the 2018-19 athletic year. That occurred just a year after the Bulldogs produced a then-school-record 12 postseason squads during the 2017-18 athletic campaign. Cohen’s third athletic year in charge was a historic one. MSU captured three SEC team championships during 2018-19 as women’s basketball and men’s tennis defended their respective crowns. Vic Schaefer’s program also secured its first-ever SEC Tournament championship before going onto an Elite Eight appearance and finishing as high as No. 4 in the national polls. State combined to win 151 games in the sports of football, men’s and women’s basketball, softball and baseball, representing the highest total in the SEC and among the best in the nation. In addition, five teams finished in the Top 25 of their respective polls, including three in the Top 10. In the summer of 2018, Cohen identified one of top recruiters and player development coaches in the country to serve as the Diamond Dawgs’ 18th head baseball skipper. Chris Lemonis became the winningest firstyear head coach in SEC history as MSU won 52 games en route to its second consecutive College World Series appearance in Omaha, Nebraska. The Diamond Dawgs earned a national seed (No. 6), hosted regional and super regionals at the new Dudy Noble Field, clinched a share of the SEC Western Division title and finished as high as No. 3 in the final polls. In addition, the Bulldog men’s and women’s basketball programs both appeared in the NCAA Tournament during the same season for the first time since 2008-09. The 2017-18 athletic year saw State become the only school in the nation to win a bowl game, reach an NCAA Final Four – men’s or women’s – and the College World Series. During that same campaign, MSU claimed multiple SEC championships in a single athletic year for the first time since 1996. Matt Roberts, the SEC Coach of the Year, guided the men’s tennis team to its first SEC Tournament championship since 1996. Schaefer, the 2018 National Coach of the Year, led the women’s basketball program to its first SEC regular season title with a perfect 30-0 regular season and a second-straight NCAA national championship game appearance. As a result of the Bulldogs’ unprecedented athletic success, CBS Sports named MSU the 14th-best athletics program in the country and fourth overall in the SEC for 2017-18. The top four Director’s Cup finishes in school history have occurred in the last four years with three under Cohen’s watch. Success has carried into the classroom during Cohen’s tenure as
Bulldog scholarship student-athletes have produced four consecutive semesters with a 3.0 cumulative grade point average or higher. In the spring of 2019, MSU scholarship student-athletes posted the highest spring GPA on record with a 3.09. State also scored the fourth-highest NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) among SEC institutions with an 89 percentile in the fall of 2018. Since becoming athletic director, Cohen has been the driving force for numerous state-of-the-art facility projects on campus, including the new $68 million Dudy Noble Field, which opened in full capacity in the spring of 2019. The ballpark has drawn rave reviews as the best in all of college baseball and features the Left Field Lofts, a revolutionary experience with luxury two-bedroom suites offering exquisite views of the new Dudy Noble Field. Cohen approved construction of a new $3.6 million football gameday home locker room and recruiting center inside the north end of Davis Wade Stadium. The 11,100 square-foot locker room, which opened in September 2018, includes custom-built player lockers, separate coaches and staff locker rooms, an expansive athletic training room as well as an equipment room. In July 2019, state-of-the-art updates were completed in the Leo Seal Jr. Football Complex locker room, which serves as the daily headquarters for MSU football. The Templeton Athletic Academic Center underwent a major renovation in the summer of 2018 with modern wall graphics and displays. In addition, ground was broken in the summer of 2019 on the $8 million dollar MSU Tennis Pavilion with expected completion set for the spring of 2020. The 48,815-square-foot facility will feature six indoor courts, elevated spectator seating, LED lighting and more. Planning is already underway for a major renovation and modernization of Humphrey Coliseum, which will make the historic venue one of the elite in all of college basketball. Expanded concourses, enhanced sightlines, new dining options and a luxurious club level are some of the many features that will be coming to the new-look “Hump.” Cohen has been instrumental in providing a “championship-level fan experience” at all of MSU’s athletic venues. For the first time in school history, State drew over 1 million combined fans in the ticketed sports of football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball during the 2018-19 athletic year. In the summer of 2018, MSU announced significant price decreases on all food and beverage at concessions for all home venues that continues today. State also unveiled a football season ticket price reduction in several sections of Davis Wade Stadium. Cohen’s vision launched the Hail State Family Fan Experience survey, an initiative to best serve Bulldog fans based on their feedback. The plan has been responsible for numerous enhancements at venues, including improved sound at Davis Wade Stadium, boosted cell service for major carriers and cash-only quick-serve concession kiosks. Cohen, who spent more than two decades coaching college baseball, was named MSU’s head baseball coach in July of 2008. Nine years later, Cohen’s official role in administration began when he assumed the role of associate athletic director in addition to head baseball coach. The following November, he took charge of an athletic department that
has since achieved new heights in athletic, academic, facility, and fundraising achievement. Success shouldn’t come as a surprise as it was never far removed from him during his 12-year run as a head coach in the SEC. His teams were successful both on the field and in the classroom. At MSU, he led the Bulldogs to a College World Series finals appearance, an SEC regular season championship and an SEC Tournament championship. In the classroom upon his arrival in 2009, 133 players were selected to the SEC Academic Honor Roll, including three straight SEC Scholar Athlete of the Year winners from 2013-15. As a baseball player at MSU, Cohen was a key player on the Bulldogs’ 1989 SEC championship team and 1990 College World Series team. He graduated from MSU with a degree in English in 1990 and received a master’s degree in sports management from the University of Missouri in 1994. Following a six-year stint with Missouri as a graduate assistant and assistant coach, Cohen was the head coach at Northwestern State University from 1998-2001. Cohen spent two seasons as an assistant baseball coach at the University of Florida before becoming the head coach at the University of Kentucky in 2004, a position he held for five seasons before returning to his alma mater. Cohen guided the Wildcats to the program’s first SEC championship in 2006 with a remarkable worst-to-first finish in his third season. While winning 284 games as a head coach at MSU, Cohen demonstrated a keen ability to develop players and coaches. During his tenure, 138 MSU baseball players were selected in the Major League Baseball Draft. Ten of his former Bulldogs have reached the Major Leagues, including Nate Lowe (Tampa Bay Rays) most recently in the spring of 2019. His influence can be seen throughout the SEC as four of his former assistants are now or have been head coaches — Brad Bohannon (Alabama), Gary Henderson (Kentucky/Mississippi State), Nick Mingione (Kentucky) and Butch Thompson (Auburn). Cohen is the only coach in SEC history to win an SEC championship, SEC tournament championship, and advance to the College World Series both as a player and head coach. He and Ron Polk are the only two baseball coaches in SEC history to lead multiple schools to SEC titles. His 2013 Bulldog club advanced to the CWS championship series for the first time in MSU history. Cohen also had the privilege of being a part of a College World Series as a player, head coach and now twice as an athletic director when the Diamond Dawgs reached Omaha in June 2018 and 2019. His 2012 club produced an SEC record-tying eight Major Leaguers. Cohen was recently appointed to the prestigious 10-member NCAA Division I Baseball Committee. He is serving a four-year term that began on Sept. 1, 2019. Cohen and his wife, Nelle, are active members of the Starkville community. The couple has two children, Jordan and Avery.

With its 11th-place and 24-point showing at the 2019 NCAA Outdoor Championships, State secured its third-highest point total in program history and second-best mark since 1982. Woods helped guide the men and women to a combined seven All-America honors in the 2019 outdoor season. MSU’s men put together the most-decorated outdoor season in program history, claiming more SEC Athletes of the Week and USTFCCCA National Athletes of the Week than ever before along with four All-America accolades.

He threw a personal-best 86.62m (284-2), breaking his own school, meet and national records. Peters landed three attempts beyond 84.00m and threw six collegiate all-time top-10 marks this year alone. State’s trio of Peters, Curtis Thompson and Tyriq Horsford was just the 11th sweep of any event podium in NCAA history. Stephen Jones broke Simeon Kigen’s steeplechase record that had stood since 1982 by one second. In all, nine new marks landed in the men’s all-time top five last year.

In the men’s indoor 800m, the only time among the top five that he did not coach is his own set in 2008, which is still the fourth-fastest in school history. In 2018, he led Ro’Derick Spears to a school-record 13.65 in the outdoor 110m hurdles. Spears also joined Herbert Wise III, Willie-Lionel Reed and Charles Brockman III to break the school record in the outdoor shuttle hurdle relay twice that year. He also coached the 400m leg of the women’s indoor distance medley relay that set the MSU record in 2017 and the women’s indoor 4x400m relay team that broke that record in 2015. Woods competed as a Middle Distance athlete for the Maroon and White from 2005-08. As a student-athlete, Woods garnered two-time All-America honors and four-time All-SEC accolades. Before coming to MSU, Woods served as head coach for the men’s and women’s cross country and track and field teams at Claflin University in Orangeburg, South Carolina.

Patrick McGregor was hired to lead the Bulldogs’ cross country program and serve as an assistant coach for the track season on Aug. 9, 2019. In his first cross country season at Mississippi State, McGregor coached Stephen Jones to All-Region accolades after he crossed the line 11th at the NCAA South Regional to earn a bid to the NCAA Championship. Jones became the second Bulldog to advance to the men’s NCAA Championship and he recorded the highest men’s finish in school history at 80th place. McGregor came to MSU from Kentucky where he was a volunteer assistant coach, but he got his start in coaching as an assistant at Samford in the fall of 2016. His impact was immediately felt as Samford’s men and women both placed second at the Southern Conference Cross Country Championships. Arse’ne Guillorel was the third overall finisher on the men’s side, and Karisa Nelson won the conference title for the women. Both individuals went on to place fourth at the NCAA South Region Championships while their teams landed among the top 10. On the track, he guided Nelson to the 2017 national title in the indoor mile, and saw his athletes post 18 marks that were among the top 10 in the conference in their respective events. Nelson claimed the conference crown in both the outdoor 1500m and indoor 3000m while Guillorel won the indoor men’s 3000m and 5000m titles. Presley Weems, sister of MSU’s Ava Weems, won the 800m to give McGregor five conference champions in his first track season. The Bulldog women won the SoCon team title with McGregor’s athletes contributing 20 percent of their team score. Guillorel highlighted the men’s efforts, including a third-place distance medley relay, as distance athletes scored 42 of the Bulldogs’ 155 points. Outdoors, Nelson again posted the top 800m time in the league and was joined by Brandon Hazouri who led the men’s event. Guillorel held the top time in the 10,000m. Weems and Nelson won league titles in the 800m and 1500m, respectively, while McGregor’s men were runners-up in the 1500m and 10,000m. Samford’s women again won the conference title.

COLLEGE CAREER Alma Mater Oklahoma Christian College Graduation 1981
Since returning to MSU in 2011, Steve Thomas has seen success as he has coached 23 athletes to All-America honors and one to a national title. Most recently, Thomas coached then-freshman Asia Poe (long jump) to All-American status indoors in 2019. He also guided both Logan Boss (high jump) and Tiffany Flynn (triple jump) to their fourth career honors during the outdoor season. In the 2013 indoor season, Thomas coached Erica Bougard to the NCAA Indoor Championship in the pentathlon with 4,399 points. The following year Bougard earned All-American accolades in the long jump and pentathlon. Bougard won the pentathlon title in the SEC Indoor Championships after setting a new school record of 4,458 points. Also during the 2014 indoor season, Thomas coached All-Americans Rochelle Farquharson and Jason Harper in the triple jump. Farquharson set a new school record in the women’s triple jump with a leap of 12.90m at the 2014 SEC Indoor Championships. Under Thomas’ guidance Harper earned All-American honors during the 2013 outdoor championships. Harper ranks third on MSU’s all-time indoor superlatives list in the triple jump with a leap of 15.97m that came in the 2013 season. He is fifth on the men’s outdoor list (15.92m, 2013). In his first year back at MSU, Thomas found success as he coached an SEC Champion who was also named the SEC Freshman Field Athlete of the Year, placed two on All-America lists and placed an athlete on the second team AllSEC list. Under the direction of Thomas, Farquharson single-handedly placed Lady Bulldog jumps on the map with her performance at the 2011 SEC Outdoor Championships. The freshman jumped a personal best 6.48m to claim the SEC Outdoor Championship in the long jump, an honor that would also make her a member of the 2011 Outdoor All-SEC First Team and All-Freshman squads, while also nabbing her the honor of being named the SEC Freshman Field Athlete of the Year. While at Kentucky, Thomas made his mark coaching a six-time All-American in the shot put and helping the female throwers produce impressive marks in their quest for championships. Before coaching at Kentucky, Thomas served as an assistant coach at the University of Florida where he coached nine All-Americans, six SEC champions and a pair of NCAA East Region champions. In his career, he has tutored individuals who have won nearly 40 conference championship titles. Thomas also served as the head coach of both the men’s and women’s cross country and track and field programs at the University of South Alabama from 1992-98, he received four Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year awards.
