2011 OUTLOOK

When the University of Arkansas men’s cross country team toes the starting line Sept. 2 for the beginning of its 2011 season, it will mark the beginning of the fourth year for head coach Chris Bucknam at Arkansas. Bucknam and the Razorbacks will look to benefit from the experiences held over from the 2010 team that won the SEC and NCAA South Central Region titles and finished 10th at the NCAA Championships. “We’re back and ready for another cross country season,” head coach Chris Bucknam said. “We’re back open for business. The main emphasis early on will be for the guys to get settled with their classes and settled back into a routine. We’re a long ways from talking about the SEC meet or anything along that line but we’ll focus, initially, on switching from their summer training to their in-season training.” Arkansas brings back 11 members from last year’s team, including 2010 All-American Solomon Haile and All-Southeastern Conference performers Eric Fernandez and Chuol Dey. Haile finished 17th at the national meet in Terre Haute, Ind., to earn the first All-America honor of his career. He and 2010 senior Dorian Ulrey were the Razorbacks’ first All-American duo since the 2006 season when Peter Kosgei, Scott MacPherson and Seth Summerside were all honored. Along with his national accolades, Haile is one of four returning all-region runners for the

Razorbacks with the additions of Fernandez, Cameron Efurd and Rick Elliott. Haile, Fernandez and Dey were also All-SEC selections in 2010, so the Razorbacks’ roster has the accolades to match its talents. Haile and Fernandez were first-team runners while Dey ran to a spot on the league’s second team. The Razorbacks will need to fill the voids left vacant by the departures of 2010 seniors Ulrey and Lane Boyer, both of which were all-region performers last year for the team. Ulrey also earned All-SEC and All-America honors in his final season in the Cardinal and White. “Early on, we’ll be looking to see who steps into that leadership role. We haven’t been back together very long as a team but as the season goes on, we’ll start to identify those guys that are taking on that role.” From last year’s SEC championship team, Arkansas welcomes back six of its top-nine lineup that placed at the meet. Thomas Cattin-Masson was part of that group and is back for his second season in Fayetteville. He made his Razorback cross country debut at the conference meet last season in Columbia, S.C. “We have a lot of work ahead of us,” Bucknam said. “But we’re excited to get started. We always are. This is why we do what we do. We love to compete and we’re looking forward to getting our runners out there so we can start to test ourselves. That will continue to be the theme throughout the whole year. We will test

5


2011 OUTLOOK and evaluate all year long. We’re not afraid to do that because we all know the ultimate goal is an SEC and NCAA championship. That’s what we’ll continue to work toward.” This year’s team will also feature the returning talents of sophomore Omar Abdi, sophomore Drew Butler, junior Aaron Hamilton, redshirt junior Layne Nixon and senior Duncan Phillips. Along with Dey and Elliott, Phillips is one of three Razorback seniors this year for Bucknam. Phillips emerged as a national presence on the track in the spring of 2011 and will look to carry that over to his final season on the trails. Arkansas added two newcomers for the upcoming season with Anthony Lieghio, a junior transfer from Iowa Central, and Patrick Rono, a freshman from Lyndhurst, N.J. Lieghio was the NJCAA national indoor champion at 800 and 1,000 meters, while Rono was a multiple-time track state champion and finished 24th at the 2010 Foot Locker National Meet. He’s got the genes to succeed as his father, Peter, was the 1,500 meters gold medalist at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. “It’s a big adjustment coming from Ireland (Lieghio’s home country),” Bucknam said. “It’s a big adjustment coming from New Jersey so

we’ll see how it plays out, but we’ll make sure these guys get the correct preparation to make sure they’re in the groove.” The 2011 season begins Sept. 2 with the Razorback Invitational, a scheduled dual with Missouri Southern at Agri Park. Arkansas returns to its home course Oct. 15 for the 23rd Annual Chile Pepper Festival. Sandwiched between the two races in Fayetteville are trips to Joplin, Mo., for the MSSU Stampede (Sept. 17) and Stillwater, Okla., for the Cowboy Jamboree (Oct. 1). Host Oklahoma State is the two-time defending national champion. The championship season gets started Oct. 31 with the SEC Championship, hosted by the University of Tennessee at the Lambert Acres Course. The league championship meet was last held in Knoxville during the 1998 season. The NCAA Regional Championship will be run Nov. 12 in Waco, Texas. The Razorbacks are the defending conference and regional champion, having run to the team titles last season in Columbia, S.C., and Waco, respectively. Terre Haute, Ind., serves as the host for the NCAA Championships on Nov. 21 for the ninth time in 10 seasons. The championship meet will be run on the LaVern Gibson Championships Course. “Our kids are coming off a very long track season,” Bucknam said. “We were in the game nationally, both indoor and outdoor, nationally so those kids needed a break. We continue to try to kill three birds with one stone and that’s to make sure our kids are competitive in cross country, indoor and outdoor. You can’t go to the well all the time. Our kids have had a break since the end of the outdoor season and we are, generally, in good shape and fitness.”

Cepeda was ranked 12th in the world in 2008. He currently holds the MVC and school records in both the heptathlon and decathlon. He was named the MVC Athlete of the Year four times during his career. Cepeda was also a two-time NCAA Midwest Region Field Event Athlete of the Year. Under Geopfert’s guidance, Cepeda became the first MVC student-athlete to win four indoor heptathlon titles. Additionally, Cepeda won three-straight MVC outdoor decathlon titles. At the 2008 NCAA Indoor Championships, UNI was the only school to qualify two athletes for each of the multi-event competitions. Cepeda and Mat Clark each earned All-America honors in the men’s heptathlon, while Dani Stipe and Olimpia Nowak both competed in the women’s pentathlon. Additionally, UNI also boasted two competitors in the men’s high jump competition with Ehi Oamen finishing third.

NCAA Individual Champions Joe Falcon - 1987

One of the most decorated distance runners in Arkansas history, Joe Falcon compiled seven NCAA titles, 15 SEC crowns and was named an All-American 11 times. He was the 3,000-meter champion in 1987 and 1988, indoor mile champ in 1988, outdoor 10,000-meter champion in 1987, outdoor 1,500-meter champion in 1988 and NCAA cross country champion in 1987. His NCAA win in 1987 propelled Arkansas to its third NCAA Cross Country team title. Falcon and the squad recorded a team score of 87 to edge out Dartmouth (119 points). Falcon was ranked among the top distance runners in the world throughout his career by Track and Field News, including a No. 1 ranking at 5,000 meters in 1989 and 1,500 meters in 1990. He was the champion of the annual Oslo Dream Mile in 1990 in Oslo, Norway with a time of 3:49.31, a race that saw his fastest 1,500-meter split: 3:33.6.

Godfrey Siamusiye - 1995, 1996

A two-time Olympian for his native Zambia, Godfrey Siamusiye competed at 5,000 meters in the 1993 Barcelona Games and in the 3,000 meter steeplechase at the 1996 games in Atlanta. He finished 10th in his semifinal heat of the steeplechase with a time of 8:37.41. At Arkansas he was a two-time NCAA Champion in cross country (1995-96), and a back-to-back champion in the outdoor 10,000 meters (1995-96). Siamusiye’s race win in 1995 led Arkansas to its eighth NCAA Cross Country team title. The ‘95 squad scored 100 points to beat Northern Arizona’s 142 points. Arkansas earned an NCAA runner-up finish in the team race behind Siamusiye’s win in 1996. Arkansas’ records book still reflects the impact of Siamusiye on the program’s long-distance legacy. He still owns the No. 2 time in the steeplechase with a time of 8:25.49 which he ran during the 1996 season. Siamusiye is also 10th on Arkansas’ all-time 5K list with a 13:37.80 performance in 1996. He never lost a cross country race as a Razorback.

AGRI PARK With one of the most successful cross country teams in the nation, there was a need for a permanent place for the University of Arkansas cross country squad to call home. In 1996, the Razorback Cross Country course at Agri Park was developed. Carved out of a portion of the University of Arkansas’ on-campus agricultural area, hence the name Agri Park, the course provides the men’s and women’s cross country teams with an excellent practice and competition area. As one of only a few permanent on-campus cross country venues in the nation, the Razorback Cross Country Course hosted its first events in 1996, serving as the site for the annual Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival and the Arkansas Invitational. Agri Park is extremely versatile. During the Chile Pepper Festival, seven divisions compete on distances ranging from the mile-long fun run for children to the collegiate/open 10,000 meters - all using the same start and finish areas. Most recently it hosted the 2007 NCAA South Central Regional Championships and it was the first time the event had been held in Fayetteville. A large hometown crowd enjoyed seeing the Hogs compete. The course is set up with a wide starting area that leads to a competition area that can be arranged to accommodate many different course lengths, including two-miles, 5,000 meters, 8,000 meters or 10,000 meters while using the same starting area and finish chute. The current course configuration has three distinct areas. The open area of the starting chute is separated from the pond and Razorback Meadow by a grove of trees surrounding the former site of one of Fayetteville’s old eateries, the Farmer’s Daughter. Razorback Meadow is open and relatively flat. The former women’s 5,000-meter trail does not use the Meadow. The men’s 10K, however, snakes through three groves of trees in the Meadow. The pond section has more contour as the trail rises up along the rim of the course’s water feature. For women, both the one- and two-mile markers for a 5,000-meter race are in the pond area. The finish chute is shaded by a row of trees separating it from the starting line area. For the spectators, it is a great venue as you can watch most of the race from the hilltop near the finishing area. For the runners, the fast course can include challenges such as a constantly changing terrain ranging from an open field to a covered forest-like area and wooden steeple barriers.
